Spiritual battles are fought on the turf of the human mind. It is not about identifying territorial demons or binding demons or rebuking demons. So are we battling the forces of darkness? Yes, because our ultimate battle is “not against flesh and blood” (Eph. 6:12), but no, because we are not called in Scripture to go toe-to-toe engaging in hand-to-hand combat with demonic forces. The war is over the control of human minds. Our aim is to liberate people from demonic strongholds. We are to free the prisoners of war. Our call is to convert not demons, but people. The arena therefore is not mystical, but intellectual. Therefore, according to 2 Corinthians 10:5, we “destroy [intellectual things] raised up against the knowledge of God.” How? We do it with the Word of God. We combat the error that has already been sown in people’s minds with truth. We, verse 5, “are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” This shows that the primary problem is that people have a wrong understanding of Christ.

Thank You Jesus

Thank you jesus, for what you’re doing for me,

Thank you jesus, I want the whole world to see,

That you’re not just a picture on the wall in my room,

That you’re faster than lightning, and you’re coming back soon.

Thank you jesus, for all the good things you do,

Thank you jesus, I wish they all could know you,

That you’re not just a book collecting dust on the shelf,

And if they don’t want to read it, you’re gonna be back to tell them yourself.

I don’t understand, why my fellow man, had to turn away,

From all the good things that you say,

They’re still trying to find a better way, but you know they won’t,

Unless they invent one, then we’ll have to patent it.

Thank you jesus, for all the good things you’ve done,

Thank you jesus, I really want to tell you lord,

I’m having so much fun, loving you.

Thank you jesus, for this here smile on my face,

I really want to shout it to the whole human race,

That you’re not just this building on the corner where we meet,

They can know you in person, you’re a pleasure to meet.

Thank you jesus, oh thank you jesus,

Thank you jesus, I only want to thank you jesus,

I don’t care what they say,

They’re gonna call you a cliché,

I’m gonna love you anyway!
