2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Mighty Through God to the Pulling Down of Strong Holds

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (KJV)  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting 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; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual. It is based on the truth of God’s Word that fortifies the mind and strengthens the heart to obey the truth and reject all falsehoods.

Though we are in this earthen body, our life now has an eternal perspective. What we do now impacts us for eternity. Therefore our thoughts and actions are not carnal, earth-bound, with their temporal philosophies.

There is a readiness to walk with God and to obey Him. And the strongholds of Satan, the god of this world, is hence defeated, through the eternal doctrines of Christ. There is a strength of mind and heart to walk with God in obedience to His Word. Amen.
