2 Corinthians 10:14
The believer is equipped with spiritual weapons, though not carnal or tangible physically their supernatural effect is not to be denied, they have tangible effects.
That we weapons of our warfare are not seen with the physical eyes does not mean they are less effective than physical weapons.
In most situations spiritual weapons do a cleaner, thorough, and more effective job than physical weapons.
Spiritual weapons are powerful enough to pull down strongholds.
Weapons are instruments of offense and defense we use for our protection and victory during battles.
God in His wisdom knows the importance of weapons and He's equipped His people with supernatural weapons adequately.
In the animal kingdom, animals have been given survival abilities by the Creator.
It is usually an instinct to protect themselves or to hunt for food.
Many of them have physical attributes that act as weapons.
As it is with the physical, it is usually so in the spiritual.
There are spiritual weapons.
Spiritual weapons are supernatural weapons.
Supernatural weapons are kingdom weapons.
Supernatural weapons are weapons the believer, the kingdom citizen has access to.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Supernatural weapons have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Supernatural weapons enhance our spiritual warfare, and they enhance our victory.
Weapons are used in the spirit realm.
We see angels with swords in the Holy scriptures.
1 Chronicles 21:16
God didn't get the idea for weapons from man. God's angels had been equipped with weapons before humanity existed.
This shows us swords have existed before human beings came up with the idea of swords and other weapons.
We see from scripture that the first war happened in heaven, Satan and one third of the angels of God lost their place in heaven, they refused to leave, there was resistance, so Michael the archangel (a warrior angel) and his team fought Satan and the one third on Satan's side.
Lucifer, who became Satan lost, he and his cohorts were thrown out of heaven.
Revelation 12:7-10
I believe that war was not merely a punching or boxing matching but supernatural weapons were used by these angelic forces.
There are weapons in the spirit realm that are not available on the earth.
One of the greatest battle stories in history is perhaps the David and Goliath battle.
Goliath was armed with carnal, physical weapons. While David was armed with spiritual weapons over physical weapons.
Goliath had the height advantage, the reach advantage, the armor advantage, the physical weapon advantage.
Goliath mocked David, in the same way the flesh mocks the things of the spirit.
He was mistaken. We will also be mistaken to mock or look down on spiritual things, due to what we can see which seems to have more advantages.
That battle was more of a carnal weapons versus supernatural weapons battle.
Supernatural weapons prevailed, as surely as light prevails over darkness.
We have supernatural/kingdom weapons available to us:
1) PRAYER (Ephesians 6:18)
2) THE SPIRIT OF MIGHT (Isaiah 11:2, Ephesians 6:10)
3) THE LORD HIMSELF (Hebrews 12:29)
4) THE BLOOD OF JESUS (Revelation 12:11)
5) THE WORD OF God, our sword. (Ephesians 6:17)
6) THE WORD OF YOUR TESTIMONY (Revelation 12:11)
7) THE HELMET OF SALVATION (your salvation) (Ephesians 6:17)
8) THE SHIELD OF FAITH (Ephesians 6:16)
9) THE HEAVENLY LANGUAGE (Ephesians 6:18)
10) YOUR DECLARATION/DECREES (Job 22:28)
