Jim Davis Spiritual conflict requires knowing how to use God's powerful weapons available to us. It doesn't matter how useful a tool may be if you don't know how to use it. The tool becomes powerless to do what it was designed to do. No less is true in the spiritual realm. Knowledge is powerless without the wisdom to use it.
Authority is a powerless agent to correct a situation without the wisdom to use it correctly.
Our God given role becomes impotent without knowing how to fill it. Without the wisdom to know how to use what God has given each of us we will lead a life of destruction. The thought of spiritual battles leave us feeling that somehow we must discover a secret powerful arsenal to have victory. We assume that there is a secret power formula that will liberate us from our circumstances. We may think that power is the only thing we need to make our lives work.
