2 Corinthians 10:5 We
demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the
knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to
Christ.
We should be aware of our weaknesses and frailties, walking,
talking and acting in humility, even when being criticized. Ministry work makes
you more susceptible to spiritual warfare with spiritual enemies. Strong arming
and browbeating are not the methods of the gospel, but rather utilizing strong
persuasions and words in conjunction with your actions, by the power of truth
in humility will go a long way. Our conscience
is accountable to God only; and people must be committed to God and their duty,
not driven by force. The weapons of spiritual warfare are very powerful; the
evidence of truth is convincing: think about it in everyday examples the addict
that sees no value in quitting, the thief that is convinced that he/she is not
hurting anyone or the crooked politician that curries favor for capital gain. What
opposition can come against the gospel?
The powers of sin and Satan in the hearts of men can oppose but there is no power in the opposition. Once
you commit to Christ your growth and power will become immeasurable
