THE PILGRIMS GUIDE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2026 LIVING ABOVE WORLDLY PATTERNS 3 A WORD FROM THE WORD: "For 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, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled." 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV You must learn and endeavour to heed the admonition of Paul, the apostle by the Holy Spirit's inspiration to separate yourself from worldly influences, and these includes rejecting cultural strongholds, obedience to God's Word over the patterns of the evil world system, and living the Kingdom lifestyle. (Romans 12:2). Renew your mind continually with the Word of God. Your mind is a barrier in its natural state, but when renewed with God's Word, victory is assured. The same God who caused Sarah to conceived at the age of 90 is still the same today, don't set your mind on what is seen and known. You're a co-creator with God, and made alive unto Him, therefore, you have been empowered to live above the patterns of the world. PRAYER BULLETS: Precious Holy Spirit, engrace me to follow Your guidance in life's warfares.
