II Corinthians 10:4 "(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)"
The war that Paul was fighting is still going on today. It is the battle between the flesh and the spirit. 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]." We will find in all of Paul's battles, he did not use a sword to fight a physical battle. God fought Paul's battles for him. One very good example of that, is when the viper bit Paul at the fire. Paul shook off the poisonous serpent, and won the people over. God was Paul's very present help in trouble and He is ours, as well. We must learn to trust Him as Paul did.
