The Weapons of Our Warfare

Posted on by The Message Bearer

The weapons of a Christian’s warfare are not physical but spiritual.

So, the Bible describes them in Ephesians 6:10-18, where it says:

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armour of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and, after you have done everything, stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always pray for all the Lord’s people.”

So, the weapons of a Christian’s warfare are:

1. The belt of truth

2. The breastplate of righteousness

3. The readiness that comes from the gospel of peace

4. The shield of faith

5. The helmet of salvation

6. The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

7. Prayer in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

These spiritual weapons help Christians to stand firm against the spiritual forces of evil in the world and to live a victorious Christian life.

The Bible does not describe the shape of the weapon of our warfare, as physical weapons are not what Christians use in their spiritual battles. Instead, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, it says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God and take every thought captive to obey Christ.”

The weapons of our warfare are not physical but spiritual weapons with divine power to demolish strongholds and fight against the spiritual forces of evil.

Therefore, the weapon of our warfare is not a physical shape but rather spiritual qualities and characteristics such as faith, prayer, love, truth, righteousness, and the word of God, which help us stand firm and overcome enemy attacks.

Hi, I’m Cornelius Bella. Welcome to My Corner of the Internet. I’m a Christian writer, blogger, and lifelong seeker of Biblical truth. At CorneliusBella.blog, I share reflections, revelations, and real-life stories shaped by faith, rooted in Scripture, and driven by a deep hunger for God’s presence. For me, spirituality isn’t a Sunday activity—it’s the heartbeat of everyday life. I believe God’s presence is not just a theological concept but a living, breathing reality we can experience moment by moment. One of my guiding prayers is this: “May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God’s presence—and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself to Him.” If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. On my blog, I write about prayer, meditation, surrender, gratitude, and the kind of faith that transforms not just what we believe, but how we live. I explore how spiritual principles can help us navigate pain, find purpose, and live with deeper joy—even in the middle of life’s uncertainties. But more than that, I write to connect. To build a community of believers who are hungry for more of God. Who want to grow, not just in knowledge, but in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Who are tired of surface-level religion and ready to live from the inside out. So whether you’re wrestling with big questions or just looking for encouragement to keep walking by faith—I’d love for you to join the journey. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and let’s grow together in grace, truth, and the joy of God’s presence. Let’s live fully surrendered. Let’s walk by faith. Let’s seek Him—daily.
