Adoring God In 2Cor 10 (Oct 4)

God Provides Spiritual Resources

Paul defended his ministry by
showing how individuals can be
reconciled to a loving God. And
he pleads with the Corinthian
church to be reconciled to him
as their spiritual father. In his
final words, Paul draws upon
his authority as an apostle to exhort
the rebellious to repent so that
his approaching visit can be a time
of rejoicing rather than rebuke.

Lord, we’ll use Yr mighty weapons:
We are humans but we don’t wage
war with human plans & methods.
We use God’s mighty weapons,
not mere worldly weapons to
knock down the Devil’s strongholds.
With these weapons we break
down every proud argument that
keeps people from knowing God.
With these weapons we conquer
their rebellious ideas & teach them
to obey Christ (2Cor 10:3-6) Amen.

Lord, thanks for providing resources
including Word of God and Prayer
which are “God’s mighty weapons.”
And thank You that our arsenal are
more powerful than Satan’s & open
the way for God’s spirit to work.
Help us use these spiritual weapons
effectively as we trust in Your power.
Remove the mountains in our lives &
make the impossible possible. Amen

Lord, praise You for the power
of Your Word; for it can penetrate
hearts in ways no amount of human
reasoning and philosophy can do.
Trust that Your Word will speak
to the hearts of even the most
atheistic people and convict them.
For You have clearly promised that
Your Word will achieve its purpose
of telling the world the truth. Amen.

Lord, praise You for Your weapons
of warfare are mighty & supernatural
and will conquer rebellious ideas.
Teach us Lord to wield them even
as we stand against the enemy,
interceding for pre-believers.
Lord, pray that You will demolish
the devil’s dark strongholds and
establish Your kingdom of truth
and light. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
