In the current Narnia movie, the Pevensie children had the incredible task of trying to defeat an evil king and his army. During their preparations for battle, they came up with ideas and tried to figure things out on their own. Lucy had another idea though. She believed that Aslan, the Christ-like lion character, was there to help them defeat their enemies. Eventually, all of the Pevensie children believed that Aslan was there to help. As they depended on him, he provided some offensive weapons such as walking trees that helped overcome the army of King Miraz in a final battle.

We also have some weapons to help us deal with the spiritual battles that we face daily.

2 Corinthians 10 [3] For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. [4] For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. [5] We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.

The image that the Apostle Paul is presenting here is similar to an offensive battering ram that is designed to tear down strongholds. The strongholds that keep us down - perhaps more than any other - at the negative thinking patterns have the potential to control our minds for years and years - and keep in bondage to things that are not reality. For example, God says that anyone who is a follower of Christ is forever loved by him no matter what. Sometimes when we fail, we get into the self-condemning thinking that convinces us that God doesn’t love us anymore.
