The Bible describes spiritual warfare as a battle of thoughts and imaginations against the knowledge of God, emphasizing the use of spiritual weapons, not carnal ones.
In 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Paul addresses spiritual warfare by asserting that while believers walk in the flesh, their warfare is not according to the flesh. This indicates that the struggle Christians face is not physical but spiritual, targeting the strongholds of false beliefs that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. The weapons utilized in this spiritual conflict are spiritual and mighty through God, designed for tearing down strongholds and capturing thoughts to the obedience of Christ. This pulls down the false notions that inhibit true understanding of God’s salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
