Waging War - 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 ESV 


For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.


We have joined with God in opposition to the rebellion which began in heaven. Satan is thrown out from heaven and seeks to become the God of this world, which has become his house of sin and death. He will not achieve what he seeks. 


God is using the knowledge of good and evil to winnow a people for His own. Those choosing God will enter the body of Christ and will join with Him as His Bride, bringing our flesh into union with His. This will happen as we return to earth as the New Jerusalem descending from heaven. 


The war is not over, but the victory has been won.
