“We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 NLT
The verses before this is applicable: “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.”2 Corinthians 10:3-4 NLT
How does this apply to our relationships? We need to recognise the spirit that controls them and bind it. Then we can minister to them.
Ministering to people can be tricky. They can be so self-absorbed that it offends our sensibilities. They can be so hard that they cannot hear. Not being offended personally is a challenge. We must recognise their need for Christ and find the chains that bind them, then break them.
Praying for people is more powerful than speaking at times. There are times to confront but times to be quiet and listen. Being prayed up is important. Seeking God’s solution for the problem is a must.
May His kingdom come, His will be done! Amen!
