Scripture for the First Tuesday in Advent
December 1, 2009 by Lillie
2 Corinthians 10:4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the
contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Father, we thank you that You have given us weapons that are not of this world. Your divine power can demolish strongholds. Demolish the strongholds of apathy, sin, and hardheartedness in our hearts. Create new hearts in us that we may be refreshed and motivated to serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen, Lillie!
And again I say Amen.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

And amen again.
Hi Lillie – Those seem like much better weapons than those used in war right now.
Cath,
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to do away with the weapons of the world!
yes, i think countries of world should get alert of modern technologies, they should move towards positive approach and use all those artillery for betterment of technology and not for war
Jenny,
The Bible tells us we will turn our weapons to useful tools in the day of the Lord.
The world has changed so so so much. We are faced with so may diverse cultures, people and schools of thought. it is sad in one sense that people can co-exist in a co-operative society, but I guess thats just the natural progression.

Larry,
I’m not sure it’s any worse. Hate and prejudice have plagued mankind throughout history.
Weapons if used for welfare of nation, surely brings benefit, but it is really sad that nations now a days don’t understand the chaos of war and they just commit mistakes easily on the verge of lives of lacks of people
Tom,
Sadly, sometimes nations have to fight to defend their people and their way of life. But that happens because other nations or groups commit evil or wage war to destroy others.
yeah, weapons and artilleries when used for the welfare of nation will surely uplift the nation as a developed nation but again If it is used for negative impact, it can also erase the name of nation too.
William,
Yes, weapons can be used for good (protection and security) and evil (domination and destruction).
Hi Lillie, long time lurker, first time poster. Your posts are always great, but this one resonated with me the most, especially since my younger brother passed away fighting in the war. In times of tragedy, I find comfort in reading these scriptures. Thank you so much.
Sara,
My sympathy to you and your family for your loss and my thanks to your late brother and your family for his sacrifice.
Scripture can be so comforting in times of pain and sorrow. May all of you find comfort and peace in God’s Word.
