“For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Prayer:
Father, thank you for giving me your weapons to destroy the enemy’s lies and demolish anything that has a stronghold on me or my family. Jesus, thank you for delivering me from the power of the enemy and transferring me into your kingdom – the kingdom of light. Darkness has no power over me because you destroyed its power over me at the cross.
Lord, teach me to use your weapons and depend on you to fight for me. Your word says “For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory” (Deuteronomy 20:4). I confess that you are my God, my strength, my stronghold, and my deliverer. I choose to believe you about you and my life, over what the enemy says. Teach me to take every thought captive under the authority of truth – your word. Help me believe your word and not bow to my emotions or circumstances. I can’t do this apart from you, so please fill me with your Spirit and empower me to walk in truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ask God to reveal to you any lies the enemy is telling you that you need to be free from today. As God reveals the enemy’s lies, ask God to set you free from each lie. Then ask God to heal you of the pain that the lies caused in your life and to help you believe what He says to you through the Spirit and his word (the Bible).
