The unseen battles for the mind ( Romans 12, Philippians 4: 8-9, Hebrews 11:6, Joshua 1:8, Genesis - where God showed Abraham the stars, Genesis where Jacob held Esau's feet)
The mind is the greatest battle field of universe. Wars, conflicts, friendships, science, technology all are products of the mind and the quality of a mind matters to both God the eternal creator and our adversary, Satan. " He who controls the mind, controls, the person."
II Corinthians 10: 3-6 "2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
What is the knowledge of God:
The knowledge of God is His will towards man in the general and His will towards you on the personal. The knowledge of God is when you are in His will. Out of His will is the wicked one's intent of exaltation - wanting his own desire to prevail against God's. Lucifer fell because of his pride. He said he would exalt himself above the stars of God[angels], he said he would like the most high (Isaiah 14: 12 -14). This still goes on today; it continued right from the garden of Eden when the serpent joined forces with Satan to be used to bring mankind out of the will of God and thus out of Eden(Genesis 3: 1- 7) The adversary said: " Yea, hath God said..." This question still goes on in the mind of men; your mind, my mind. These are the battles we face daily, sometime more intense in some seasons.
When Your Obedience is Fulfilled:What is having "... your obedience is fulfilled?" It is when where sin has occurred letting grace in repentance cover and remove such [sin/s] without going back to such ways but doing the right thing as injunctioned by God. It obeying God in all points where you have disobeyed Him. This scripture refers to redeemed Christians who have acted out of lack of knowledge on issues relating to the gospel of Jesus Christ and their relationship to God.
Ephesians 6: 10- 18 talks about wrestling against unseen forces of darkness and wicked spirits that control disobedient men. The Bible urges us to put on the whole armor of God to fight this good fight. Faith, righteousness, God's word, salvation, preaching , truth are all part of God's package and armor to help us win in this war. I must say here that we are not fighting to win but rather we are maintaining God's victory over the devil by standing our ground in Him through these armor ( Colossians 2: 13 - 15). This armor is the Knowledge of God. God confounds the mighty through weak and feeble men to show His might is not limited by strength.
Where do we stand?
We stand with God in this battle, we are more than conquerors through Him that gave Himself up for us. The essence of this war is that God wants to prove Himself in your life and my life as fellow partakers of His glory.
Remain victorious In Jesus name.
