“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.” 2 Corinthians 10:3 KJV
During World War II, it is reported that Allied bombers carried machine guns in the nose, under the belly, on top, and in the rear of the plane. It was also reported that some people believed that the planes might actually be safer, fly higher and fly faster without the extra weight associated to the guns attached to the plane. The pilots, however, thought differently. They wouldn't even consider flying and fighting without guns to shoot back and defend themselves. When you really think about it, we make the same choice when it comes to fighting our own battles. God says we don't need the guns... we can soar higher and faster with Him. For the scripture declares, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh”. 2 Cor. 10:3. The weapons our God makes available to us “….are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” 2 Cor. 10:4.
