2 Corinthians 10:3-5 – Winning Battles Losing the War
A HISTORY LESSON WITH SPIRITUAL APPLICATION – In 1755 the French-Indian war began. This war between Britain with their Colony allies and France with their Indian allies was fought mainly in the New World for dominance and control of the vast new lands. French power was ended in North America under the Treaty of Paris in 1763. For the colonies, they gained military experience and gained opposition to British rule due to the taxes and duties raised to help pay for the fighting. A short 13 years later is the famed Declaration of Independence. England lost North America by how they won North America. How we win spiritual battles against one another can often lead ultimately to lost spiritual wars.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (HCSB) (3) For though we live in the body, we do not wage war in an unspiritual way, (4) since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments (5) and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.
