Weapons of Warfare

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 24th of January, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go straight to 2 Corinthians 10:4 (Amplified Version):

“The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.” 

Folks, we need to understand something. We are in a war. We are in a full-scale war and it’s not a physical war. It’s a war raging in the mind, and we need to use the weapons God has given us to combat this war. “What weapons?” You say. I am talking about prayer, the power of prayer. We’ve got to pray more and speak less. The Bible - that is our weapon. It’s the sword of the Spirit. The word of God says we’ve got to use it. We’ve got to watch what we read, what we watch on TV and especially social media. This very message you are listening to now is coming to you on social media, and thank you very much for praying for me and for listening and watching it, because there is so much rubbish that can be watched even by a small child, ten, fourteen years old - things like pornography which is poisoning people, causing people to be depressed, and causing people to stress and to even contemplate suicide.

Now I want to read something to you that I’ve heard from a lady named Cindy McGarvie. She is an Australian lady, and I want you to listen to the power of social media. Iran attacked America and they were expecting the Americans to retaliate with bombs and guns. Listen to this. “The US could have ordered air strikes on Iran’s military bases where the missiles were launched, but instead they used both soundless and formless computer technology to achieve a similar end. This is called Cyber Warfare. Cyber Warfare is the use of computer technology to destruct activities of a state or organisation.” They didn’t even send a missile or anything. They destructed the whole thing by social media.

We need to be careful what we allow our children to watch and what we are watching and we need to use it for the benefit of the Kingdom of God. Remember the Bible tells us in 1 John 4:4:

“…greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world.”

And that is the whole purpose of thought for today, to bring to your attention, every morning, the importance of God’s Holy Word which He has given us to stand against the lies of the devil.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
