    The complete KJV guide to spiritual warfare and the armour of God

    What the Bible says about spiritual warfare

    Ephesians 6:12 sets the terms: 'we wrestle not against flesh and blood'. The KJV takes the unseen realm seriously without encouraging preoccupation with it. The enemy is described as real, limited, and already defeated at the cross (Colossians 2:15), which keeps the topic from producing either denial or fear.

    The armour and the weapons

    The armour of Ephesians 6 is almost entirely defensive and almost entirely ordinary — truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God. The offensive elements are Scripture and prayer. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 adds that the weapons are 'not carnal', and locates much of the battle in the realm of thoughts and arguments.

    Standing rather than striving

    The repeated verb in Ephesians 6 is 'stand', not 'attack'. James 4:7 pairs submission to God with resisting the devil, in that order. Scripture's picture of victory is a believer who holds ground already won by Christ, which is why resistance in the New Testament looks like obedience, prayer, and truth rather than technique.
