As we read 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, scripture states, “The weapons I fight with are not the weapons the world uses. In fact, it is just the opposite. My weapons have the power of God to destroy the camps of the enemy. I destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. I keep every thought under control in order to make it obey Christ.”
Where are the Star Wars fans? When I read this scripture, I’m reminded of the famous lightsaber, only MORE powerful. Here’s my disclaimer: I am not a Star Wars expert, but I do know that the lightsaber can cut through almost anything and deflect enemy attacks. Paul, however, is telling us about a weapon that is even more powerful, the POWER of God! This weapon includes the Bible, Holy Spirit, prayer, and complete faith that God is in control. If we can surrender to God by letting him take control of difficult situations, he WILL take care of us. He can stop the devil from encouraging us to make bad decisions, and He can use us to teach other people about Him. I don’t know about you, but I want THAT kind of weapon.
I have GREAT news! You can have THAT kind of weapon. When you accept Jesus as the Lord of your life, the power of the Holy Spirit works through you. He comforts you in hard times and helps you make choices that are good for you and pleasing to God. If this is a decision you would like to make, talk to someone about it today. Tell somebody about the incredible power of God.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You for the power of Your Holy Spirit. Show me what it is like to have the power of Your Holy Spirit in my life to deflect enemy attacks and help me make choices that You want for me. Amen.
