2 Corinthians 6:7 (NASB20)
in the word of truth, and in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is meant by these weapons that are to be used on the right and on the left, and what exactly are these weapons of righteousness…?

They would be bringing to bear on each and every set of circumstances one finds oneself in, the good, proper and the right… For the good, the proper, the right, are themselves the weapons of righteousness that are to be used in every set of circumstances one finds oneself in, for every set of circumstances is what is on the right hand and on the left….

For own will has been denied, now it is no longer seeking after what one wants or thinks, but only seeking after what is the good, proper and right in every particular moment… For in every set of circumstances there is a reaction, making this reaction one of righteousness is using righteousness to defeat that set of circumstances…. For righteousness is the only thing that can defeat the circumstances and not be ruled over by them and then brought into bondage by them…

For one has been called into freedom and in the doing of the good, proper and the right will this freedom be known, experienced, tasted and rejoiced in…

For righteousness itself is a weapon of offense and defense, a weapon sure and strong, which weapon has the backing of all the power of God…. Blessed are they that use this weapon in life to the experiencing of His power, love, joy and the all good things that come when righteousness causes He Himself to be known in the life…

Be blessed in one’s walk using the weapon of righteousness to the knowing of Him…
