The Power of Worship

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.


Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seems to go right. One of those days when you wanted to tell a few people where to get on and get off. Today was one of those days for me, I became so frustrated that I wanted to get back at something or someone because I felt like everything was coming up agaisnt me. You know how it is when you wake up all excited about the day and before you know it the whole day crashes in a way until you are ready to come out of character. As I began to get angry the Word of God came to my remembrance, "though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal", I realized at that moment that I better pull out one of my weapons and use it immediately. I begin to worship God for the day and no matter what was happening I would give Him a praise that He deserves knowing that would help me battle today's issues. What a difference it made, I began to calm down and things began to work itself out as a result of the power of worship.

The Word of God and prayer are weapons of divine power, as I begin to worship it begin to change my attitude and calmed me in such a way that I begin to pray and ask God for His supernatural assitance to help me through the day and He did. See the enemy would love for us to get angry about any oppositon we encounter during our daily lives, those circumstances that would come to cause the old man to rise up and respond to situations in ways we regret later. So be careful, never let the enemy confuse you about what and who you are fighting daily.

You see my worship demolished every bad pretension, bringing every thought into captivity, making my thoughts subject to the one I serve who is Christ. We can wage successful spiritual warfare by abandoning our worldy ways and attitudes, as I began to worship it helped began to reshape my thinking through the knowledge of the word and as I continued to pray I felt like in my mind I was winning the battle, because I was. It is so much easier to deal with things as they come by natural means. Maybe you wanted to hurt someone or use language that is not appropiate for Chritians, but think about it, we have other powerful tools that can help win the war against anything that is in opposition of you living and doing what's right. One is the power of worship. Next time try it and see that by the end of the day you will have the right to raise your hands with victory!
