Some belong to God, some to the enemy. If the enemy has weapons, they are surely just cheap imitations of whatever God has! Yet these ARE spiritual weapons nonetheless.
2 Cor 10:4 - For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;WEAPONS – plural – many kinds, many uses. All spiritual. All mighty through God.The argument being made is that the “Sword of the Spirit” is the Word of God and that is the only offensive weapon that we have. Not only that, but these folks use the “Word of God” to mean quoting scripture, that is the Bible is the Sword. This is based on a quote from Ephesians 6, yet the Bible self-interprets by the testimony of two witnesses. That single passage, taken alone to describe our weapons and armor is WOEFULLY inadequate to describe the fullness of our inheritance. This study should show that the Lord has MANY weapons and that they are at our disposal as priests/kings and adopted sons (but only as He leads and empowers). Consider that, if the "word" is a sword, then this verse directly contradicts the Ephesians 6 verse: Jeremiah 23:29 - Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?Here the Word of God is described as a fire and a hammer, not a sword. So clearly it can be other things. Also, is this verse describing the Torah or the spoken word and intents of God? John 1 says that “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” So is the Word that is the Sword, the Bible – or Jesus Himself? In Revelation, the Sword proceeds out of His mouth at the second coming. Is that His spoken commands or a Bible? His Word does not return void? Are those the Rhema words of God given by the Spirit to us daily or just the written word of the Bible? The Ephesians 6:17 Greek word used is RHEMA, not LOGOS. That is the Spirit-breathed word.Below are just A FEW of the verses that describe God's spiritual weapons. We've tried to avoid “natural” verses (“Saul gave David his sword”) and focus on verses that seem to have a spiritual application beyond just being a history lesson. Dispute one or two if you like, but the main point is that God has a full ARMORY of weapons and these are described using the terminology of the day. Paul tried to encourage the Christians by showing them that they were equipped spiritual just as well or better than the meanest, toughest, scariest army of the day. If Paul were here today, describing Roman armor to encourage modern Christians would not be much comfort. The argument is often made that if it's not in the Bible, they we're making up stuff. And yet, giraffes and elephants and cars and microwaves and steeples and offering plates and Seeker Friendly services and all kinds of things aren't in the Bible. And, in fact, if you're going to get literal, unicorns ARE! (KJV Job 39:9, Num. 24:8, Ps. 29:6, Ps. 92:10, and elsewhere.) Why can't we just understand that the Lord can do abundantly beyond anything we can think or imagine?! Was Nahum seeing cars in this verse and didn't have the language to describe them? Nahum 2:4 - The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.If you look carefully at his description of doomed Nineveh, it sure fits the United State of America!So let's take a hard look at ALL the different kinds of stuff in His armory.

Shielded on EVERY side and impenetrable around a righteous man unless the Lord gave permission.}LOTS MORE THERE – hedges, shields, under His wings, feathers, pinions. Look it up.Buckler (A buckler is a small offensive shield used on the arm, not good for arrows, but good for swords. Again, can be used offensively. Not the same as a shield since they are mentioned concurrently.)
