Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 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;) 2 Corinthians 10:1-4

How can the world today be so insane? This is a question many people ask today, some who are not even Christians, many people are asking what is wrong with the world today? The world actually makes sense when you understand it’s under control by Satan (1 John 5:19) Satan is called “the god of this world who has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe” (2 Corinthians 4:4) Now God is sovereign , so God allows this to take place. God is allowing Satan to deceive this world and influence those who reject Christ as Lord

We are all in a spiritual warfare, whether you are saved or not, whether you reject God or not, every single person is involved in the spiritual battle, some people just don’t even realize it! When you are enlightened by the Holy Spirit, then the evil of this world makes sense, however those without the Holy Spirit are left blinded and slaves to sin (John 8, Romans 6)

As the Apostle Paul teaches us here “For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t war against the flesh” Even though you are living in a physical body in the natural realm, you are fighting against the supernatural in the spiritual realm. Many people can’t grasp this concept, many will even reject it all together, but once you understand you are battling against the wickedness of the dark realm of Satan, then the evil of this world makes sense

So how do we battle this evil? The Apostle Paul teaches us “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (physical) , but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds”. This is why the world will never solve its own problems, why? Because they are fighting against demonic forces. You are not fighting a natural battle, you are fighting the supernatural evil forces of Satan. And the only way to battle this is through the supernatural power of Jesus Christ, who is Lord over everything natural and supernatural, Amen!

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 2 Corinthians 10:5-6

Why is the world Anti-God, Anti-Christ, Anti-Bible, Anti-Church, because Satan has launched his attack on God through the world. The unsaved people of this world, don’t even understand why they hate God, why they hate the Bible, why they hate Jesus, they are slaves to Satan, they follow his blinded propaganda to pleasure themselves in his sinful traps. 

That’s why the Apostle Paul says “Casting down imaginations, and every high things that exalts itself against the  knowledge of God” Satan will attack anything that would lead you to Christ. Satan attacks the Bible, attacks the Church, attacks Creation, anything he can do to destroy your soul

We need to Armor up Church! (Ephesians 6) We are in a spiritual warfare, the only way to Victory is Jesus Christ our Lord , Amen!
