2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ;
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
There are two kinds of spiritual warfare, offensive and
defensive.
In defensive spiritual warfare, demonic spirits (under
Satan's command) are launched what is known as fiery darts, as Ephesians 6:16
tells us:
"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
These fiery darts come in one of three forms; temptations,
deceptions and accusations.
Offensive spiritual warfare, which usually consists of
tearing down strongholds that have been formed in our minds when we have taken
the bait and accepted the deceptions and lies of the devil. Since strongholds
are incorrect thinking patterns based on error, the correct weapon we are
supposed to use to tear down such strongholds is through meditating on and
applying the truth, which is found in the Word of God.
