What are the weapons of our warfare according to 2 Corinthians 10:4?
Paul writes that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal or fleshly; they are spiritual and mighty through God for pulling down strongholds. They cast down imaginations and every high thing exalted against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
Les explains that Paul’s war was not after the flesh but in the spiritual realm. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal; they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. This involves casting down imaginations and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Les uses Ephesus as an example: the city was dominated by Diana worship, yet Paul’s spiritual impact disrupted the idol makers and silversmiths until they caused a riot, showing strongholds pulled down. He adds that our biggest battles are in the thought processes, where temptations occur.
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
