TEAR DOWN THOSE BARRIERS!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “For the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but are powerful in God to destroy strongholds. 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.” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

TODAY’S MESSAGE: We all have barriers that we must overcome. We all have issues that seem to plague us in our everyday lives. Some may be simple, and others may be complex, but no matter how large they may seem we have the tools that we need in order to tear these barriers down. As children of God, we have access to the weapons needed to overcome the strongholds of the devil. We have been given the greatest weapon needed in our fight against the evils that come against us every day. We have been presented with the name of Jesus. It is through his name that we are able to jump over the mountains we confront, pass through the tiniest of openings we are given to get through, and we are strong enough to plow through the densest of troubles in our lives. There is absolutely nothing that we cannot do in the name of Jesus. It is with this name that we have been given the great powers of faith and trust. It is in his name that we have been given the ability to not blink when we are confronted with things that seem so impossible that it looks like we will never succeed. We all have areas in our lives that we consider weaknesses but in the name of Jesus they will become strengths. It is time to recognize our own stronghold. It is time to take up the shield of faith and put on the full armor of God and go to war against the devil and his army. What appears to the world as earthly warfare is in reality spiritual warfare. We cannot become triumphant in our battle until we are fully prepared for the war ahead of us. It is time to take control by using the weapons prepared for us by our God in heaven. It is time to win the war and to do it with strength and never-ending faith and trust in our God. It is time to tear down the barriers in front of us and march forward in confidence and strength! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
