2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (CEV)
We live in this world, but we don't act like its people 4 or fight our battles with the weapons of this world. Instead, we use God's power that can destroy fortresses. We destroy arguments.
Conscientious objectors are individuals who refuse to participate in war or any military act on the basis of their moral or religious beliefs. They are willing to risk imprisonment, persecution, or worse, by refusing to take up arms. Depending on their perspective on the war at hand, some laud conscientious objectors as heroes, while others vilify them as cowards. However, there is no such thing as a conscientious objector when it comes to spiritual battle.
The moment you become a Christian, you become a soldier. Like it or not, you are in a battle. The good news is you are already on the victorious side, so you’re not fighting to win; Christ already won for us! However, you have an enemy who acts as though he doesn’t know it. He will keep firing whether you choose to arm yourself or not. Prayer is a weapon beyond nuclear proportions. It obliterates anything the enemy tries to throw at you. So, never lay your weapon down; just keep shooting. Keep firing!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am armed and dangerous! I obliterate the advances of the enemy with prayer! No attack of the enemy will catch me unaware, for my prayers go ahead of me into battle like spiritual snipers.
