This morning I had a vision of large hand with a wrench in it. The hand brought the wrench to a bolt coming out of the bottom of the vision. As the wrench connected with the large nut on the bolt and began to loosen it, the vision began to pull back. The nuts and bolts were holding down the base of a large gun on a ship.

I felt the scripture verse in my spirit, “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.” For too many years folks have been caught up in the cycle of “I can do it, no I can’t.” (We must understand our seatedness. Wuest:  and raised us with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,)

As I watched the hand removing the guns of ship, I sensed the clear statement that people are fighting paper tigers. The weapons of our warfare, show us to move against our thoughts and the thoughts that would distract, disarm or disengage from the goodness of our life in Him.

For, though we are ordering our behavior in the sphere, of human experience, not in accordance with mere human considerations are we waging warfare, (Wuest)

2 Cor. 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not material, but powerful according to the norms and standards of God, for the purpose of tearing down fortresses [satanic strongholds], for the purpose of overthrowing false concepts [cosmic thinking]),            

2 Cor. 10:5 And every classification of arrogant mental obstacle [human viewpoint panacea] contrary to the knowledge of God [divine viewpoint], that is, with the result that every category of thought process [intellectual rationale] is brought into strict obedience to Christ,            

2 Cor. 10:6 As well as maintaining a state of mental preparation [disciplined doctrinal garrison in the soul] for the ultimate purpose of correcting every occasion of disobedience [immediate confession of sin and restoration to fellowship], as often as your obedience [desire to follow God’s protocol plan] aspires to be brought to completion [attainment of spiritual maturity]. 

He paid for that which was owed. having obliterated the hand-written document consisting of ordinances, the one [which was] against us, which was directly opposed to us, and He removed it out of the midst with the result that it is no longer there, having nailed it to the Cross;

There is a new revelation coming to the body of Christ. That our Lord dissembled that which was held by the enemy, that which was “armed” against us.

He spoiled principalities and powers. Colossians 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. NKJV

Paul tells us in Ephesians tells us where the battle is. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

The battle has been won. The weapons dissembled. The ships of the enemy have been disarmed, dismantled. The only thing that gives them “guns” is ideas and thinking.

Yes, there are really bad things that are happening. Put in motion by an enemy. But there is a huge difference between what authority or influence the enemy has in our lives and what we can stand against,  what we can disrupt, disenfranchise and destroy.
