2nd Corinthians 10 —> 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
The tools used for spiritual battles are not physical or worldly but are instead powerful, spiritual weapons given by God to overcome spiritual strongholds, such as casting down arguments and bringing every thought captive to obedience to Christ.
Spiritual over physical: The weapons of spiritual warfare are not material or fleshly, but divine and powerful through God.
Purpose: These weapons are used to "pull down strongholds," destroy false arguments, and dismantle the high things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.
Examples of spiritual weapons: Some examples include the "armor of God" mentioned in Ephesians 6, which includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God).
Power source: The effectiveness of these weapons comes from God, not from human strength or reasoning
