2 Corinthians 10:3 (NIV) For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NIV) The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Proverbs 21:22 (NIV) One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.
Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT) I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead.
