    Daily Bread – October 31, 2022 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) 2 Corinthians 10:5 – To destroy arguments and every great obstacle raised against the knowledge of God, and to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. The Battlefield Of Our Thoughts The battlefield we are engaged upon is the battlefield of the thoughts. Thoughts are the inspiration behind our decisions, and our decisions set the course of our actions. Our actions will determine our success or our failure now and throughout eternity. God has not left us to our own ability to deal with this complex matrix of reasoning and thinking, but has given to us His thoughts (through His Word) and His divine assistance to destroy the influences of man and the demonic realm every time they arise in our thinking. We must be wise enough to take our position upon this battlefield with a resolve to stand against all the things opposing the knowledge of God (Ephesians 6:10-11). If we do not sober up and realize this is a real war, then we will constantly be overthrown by our own neglect. We must place God’s Word in its rightful position as the supreme knowledge and insight. If you want to be successful and have the things God has promised, then every opposing thought must become the enemy – and must be destroyed. Both the satanic forces and natural events attempt to act as a blockade between us and the promises God has given. These “high military works” that are thrown up to prevent us will not be able to stand against us as we move in the knowledge of God. Yet at the same time, we must recognize that the knowledge of God will run contrary to what we have come to learn and believe about the world we live in. God’s knowledge says to raise the dead, mankind’s knowledge says impossible! God’s knowledge tells us that whatever we ask Father, He will do it; whereas mankind’s knowledge says, “God helps them that help themselves.” God’s knowledge says give and it shall be given to you, mankind’s knowledge says save it and you will have more.
