"Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."
~2 Corinthians 10:3-5~
To follow up on yesterdays post (Don't you love how God works?) we are going to be praying for our husbands minds today.
Yesterday our guest post Cali wrote about how our husbands biggest fears is being a failure. This isn't a rare thought in our mans mind. It's a persistent, constant, eat at you thought. My husband reminds himself everyday why he stays at work. Although his mind is battling thoughts of "no good," "failure," "impossible," "it's over," and "why try?" I, as his wife, can choose to pray on his behalf that my husband will recognize that those are lies from the enemy and not God's truth. All men have an enemy who wants to undermine what God desires to do in their lives. I can pray that his mind will hear words like, "hope," "prosperity," "possibility," "success," and "new beginning".
Because when we marry our husband we become one an attack on his mind should be an attack on us as well. This is not God speaking in our husbands minds, it's the voice of the enemy. We should not stand by and watch deadly games being played with his mind and our lives. The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of our hearts.
Let's pray for our husbands to receive the mind of Christ and bring every though captive under God's control.
