King James Version

What does 2 Corinthians 10:4 mean? →

Passage Context

2But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Devotional Reflection

LovePeaceGratitudeHope

In our fight against evil, we use God's spiritual weapons, which help us know the truth and be free because of it. Death and trickery are the two things that the devil uses most. God's grace helps us see through the lies and break their false hold on men's and women's minds. Through Jesus Christ, God's power has broken through the barrier of death and given us victory. What is our job on this victory march? To obey our Lord and help others do the same, trusting that His grace and power are enough to help us get through everything that could bring us down.

Prayer

Father, please use me to stop the devil from hurting the people I care about and taking over their lives. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
