Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein. KJV
I'm sharing a page from my journal written and received today, Saturday, June 16, 2018 while going over a list of 10 confessions for receiving and maintaining health which I refer to as "wholeness" confessions-because the Life in them affect your whole being, spirit, soul and body. While reading aloud number 9 (2 Corinthians 10:3-5), I simultaneously saw and understood what I'm preparing to share with you today.

3 [Even though I have a physical body I will] not carry on warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons.
4 For the weapons of [my] warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
5 [I] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and I lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ. (the Messiah, the Anointed One)
I had a quick picture flash before my mind, seeing a young woman- slender, muscular- practicing the use of her weapons. You couldn't see her Personal Instructor but He was there, teaching her, strengthening her, teaching her how to use her weapons-bringing her up higher into expert levels. At the same time I understood that some people have a Sensei, Grand master of some sort. But we have Him here with us, in us. The teacher, the true firstborn of God, the only One that has truly "gone before" who teaches us and takes us to the highest skill level in warfare, wisdom, understanding, power and love. And God at Jesus' request has sent us His Children our very own instructor, The Holy Spirit, who'll take us as high as we allow Him to do so! Glory to God, it's our choice! We can choose to go!!!! Woohooo, thank you God, I choose to go with you! Thank You, thank You, Thank You and I offer you all my heart and my love!
I found the information below very interesting since the term Sensei also came to mind during the reading of the Corinthians scripture.
Japan
Sensei definition:
Japanese martial arts commonly use Sensei (先生) meaning "teacher" or literally translated, "born first"[1] or "one who has gone before".[3] A Sensei is a person who has knowledge and is willing to teach that knowledge to another. A Sensei assists students in ken shiki "the pursuit of knowledge".
Also today -- Philippians 4:5b-6a
How my Personal Instructor taught me to think concerning this scripture:
...The Lord is near. Therefore I will not fret or have anxiety about anything....
