Living by the Spirit

Living by the Spirit instead of by other means.    by Jay Meyer               February 16, 2014

When you're living by the spirit of God, new ways of living, ideas, actions will come to mind
that will bring you to the moment where you need to make a decision, whether to do what He
says or to do what you've always been doing.  So, in that case, you're either following the spirit of God
or following something else.

2 Corinthians 10, verse 3.  "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. ⁴ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds."

 There are those who live the apathetic Christian life not realizing that there is a war going on.  Then there are those who have a war mentality, but sometimes find themselves fighting with the wrong enemies.  They're war-ing, but not understanding what they're primary war is as a Christian.

Then there are those strongholds.  What are they?  A stronghold is defined as fortress or a prison.  A stronghold is something that keeps other out and you separated from them. 

2 Corinthians 10: ⁴ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

So, Paul says, we have weapons that pull down these  prisons, weapons to pull down these forts that are keeping something out and keeping us imprisoned inside.

There are many Christians, though they are saved, still live as though they are imprisoned.  They live separated  from God.

2 Corinthians 10: ⁵ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
