Memory Scripture 7

2 Corinthians 10:4 - 5

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

I love how vs 5 is written in the message bible:
We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ.

In the words of my dear friend Tara, when it's all said and done, spiritual warfare is "it is written." Don't you just love it? Doesn't that simple definition take the fear and spookiness out of warfare? Everything we do, say or think should be rooted in the foundation of God's Word. This takes me back to Tamara's post on "The Center." If we are to be salt in this Earth and live the life that God fashioned just for us, our center, our core, our compass - must be His Word.

Yep, even now, even this moment i'm having to smash warped thoughts. Food for thought, sometimes you can't fight a thought with a thought. You have to fight a thought with verbal words. Not sure if it's just me but I can't seem to think and talk at the same time. So when it appears that the thoughts are winning and my "thinking" on God thoughts is not enough, I open my mouth and guess what - GAME OVER - I win everytime.
