A spiritual war, however, cannot be successfully fought with fleshly weapons. Therefore, the weapons in Paul’s arsenal were not those of human ingenuity, human ideology, or human methodology. Human reason, wisdom, plans, strategies, organizations, skill, eloquence, marketing, religious showmanship, philosophical or psychological speculation, ritualism, pragmatisms, or mysticism are all ineffective weapons against the forces of the kingdom of darkness, the “powers…world forces of this darkness…[and] spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places' (Eph. 6:12). They cannot rescue sinners from the “domain of darkness” (Col. 1:13) or transform believers into Christ’s likeness. Such weapons gain only superficial, temporary, and deceptive victories at best.

1/2    tsp dark soy sauce 1 tbs stock (or water)
1/4    tsp cornstarch
1/4    tsp water
STEAMING SEASONING: 2 ginger slices 2 shallots
1/4    tsp salt 1 tbs chicken fat (or oil) 1 tbs stock (or water)
1.  Mix stir-fry seasoning ingredients well.
2.  Remove stalks from mushrooms and discard.  Soak mushroom heads for 20
to 30 minutes until soft, then steam with steaming seasoning ingredients
for 30 minutes.  Remove and stir-fry with stir-frying seasoning mixture
until there is no liquid left.  (If button mushrooms are used, soaking and
steaming is not necessary.  Instead, simmer mushrooms with 2 slices of
ginger and 2 shallots for 1 minute.)
