The longer we are in the fight, the better fighter we should become.  Are you keeping an inventory of lessons learned in the fight? Are you repeating the same fights over and over again? The Bible talks about the idea of spiritual strongholds. When we allow a place in our lives where the enemy can "set up camp," he wreaks havoc in our lives. Therefore, we must demolish the strongholds within us to be better equipped in spiritual warfare. Any stronghold has the ability to make it easy for the enemy to attack - prey on our weakness, so to speak. The Lord desires for us to demolish these strongholds by taking thoughts captive as Paul explains in 2 Corinthians.  There is a fight for the mind - your mind! Are you fighting back?

More Than Meets the Eye

Fighting Back

2 Corinthians 10:1-6

Insights we learn from Paul:

1. Humility Matters

"Two things I know: I am a great sinner, and Christ is a great Savior."

2. Use Your Resources

2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV - "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds."

3. Keep Fighting

Galatians 6:9 - "And let us not grow weary of doing good, fir in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

4. There is a Finish Line

When you feel like it will never end, it makes giving up easier. Don't quit before you finish.
