The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. NIVUK

The very weapons we use are not those of human warfare but powerful in God’s warfare for the destruction of the enemy’s strongholds. J.B. Phillips

‘It is useless to fight Satan with weapons that only work against men.’ Tom Hale

Paul writes about these spiritual weapons elsewhere: e.g. in Rom.13:12; 2 Cor.6:7; Eph.6:13-18. The important thing for us is to recognise – to really believe – that they are powerful and effective, and use them! They are no use if kept locked away in a weapons cupboard.

Wear the armour, and use the armoury provided.

Someone writing about Eph.6 entitled his chapter, ‘What to wear to the war.’

‘There is a battle going on. Keep your eyes open and your sword sharp.’
