The Word Is Our Defense

The portion of the Scripture below that speaks of the true knowledge of God is referring to the Word of God. God's Word is true knowledge of Him and His ways and character.

According to the Scriptures, our enemy, Satan, seeks to build strongholds in our minds. Strongholds are lies that are believed.
A person who believes a lie is deceived. When an individual believes that wrong is right, he has fallen into deception. Satan works through deception, but the knowledge of the Word is the believer's defense and victory.

Being a sincere student of the Word will enable you to live a truly victorious life.

For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
--- 2 Corinthians 10:4,5


My own reflection on this Thought:
* You may say that it's impossible to understand God 100%.
Of course, that's true... Because God is more than our understanding.
What we can do is just getting closer to Him by reading His Words to know : what would Jesus do if He encounters this kind of situation in His life?
So, reading His Words regularly would make us more ready to face the varieties of problems in this world... (-fon-)
