Supplication
Deliverance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds
Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself
Against the knowledge of God
And bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
These lyrics from Deliverance's song "Supplication" are based on a Biblical principle stated in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, which speaks about spiritual warfare. In this text, the apostle Paul is explaining to the Corinthians that the weapons of their warfare are not physical, but spiritual. Deliverance takes the essence of those words and puts them into song, reminding listeners that the power to overcome spiritual struggles comes from God alone.
The "strongholds" referred to in the song are not physical structures, but rather, they represent entrenched thought patterns and belief systems that do not align with God's purposes. The lyrics urge believers to cast down these negative thought patterns, as well as any ideology that exalts itself above the knowledge of God.
The singer then goes on to mention bringing every thought into captivity to Christ, meaning that every thought and impulse must be brought under the submission of Jesus Christ. This concept of submitting one's thoughts to Christ is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith, as it creates a commitment to act in accordance with God's will.
Line by Line Meaning
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
Our methods of fighting are not physical or tangible
But mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds
However, they are powerful through the support and strength of God, enabling us to break down strong barriers
Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself
Eliminating unrealistic and lofty aspirations and any idea that places itself above God
Against the knowledge of God
That go against the wisdom and understanding of God
And bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
Our goal is to make every thought and mindset comply with the teachings of Christ
