The Weapons of our Warfare

We're in a war with a ruthless invisible enemy who intends to keep men's souls in bondage until they breathe their last breath and drop into hell. We're in a war for the souls of men. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. If we fight the devils with our fists and in fits of frustration flail toward the darkness we will fail. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. But we through propagation of the true gospel, and helping with pro-creation (that is with leading others to Jesus) as God makes of them new creations. And we through preaching. And we through having passion for and compassion towards people. And we especially through impassioned prayer do violence to the enemy daily. We're in a war and the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. The war has been won but the battles rage on daily for our friends and family. We must be praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. In doing so we turn the tide and make clear the paths for our Savior's bride.
