God is Omnipotent, which means He is all powerful. He has unlimited power, and complete Authority over Heaven and Earth.

” And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”( Matthew 28:18 KJV).

” Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”(Luke 10:19 KJV ).

” But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”(Acts 1:8 KJV).

” Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:…”(Colossians 2:8-10 KJV).

AUTHORITY: Spiritual Rights delegated to us by God to make decisions, give orders, and to enforce obedience and to exercise dominion over the enemy.
POWER: the Spiritual Supernatural, and Miraculous Abilities of God to do the Works that Jesus did (to do those things that transcends this realm).

+ God always possesses the Unlimited, and Inexhaustible Power and Authority.
+ The degree of our God given Authority and Power always corresponds to the level of maturity (Christlikeness) we demonstrate to God and to each when it comes to obeying the Word of God in Love, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness and Faith.
+ God is not holding back His Authority and Power from us.
+ Let us always do those things which are always pleasing unto Him so that His Authority and Power will work in us and through us for His Glory, our Victory, for the enemy is defeated. Amen!

I PRAY: “.. that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,  which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,  far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” ( Ephesians 1:17-23 KJV).

” Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”[1:24-25 KJV].

• Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
• BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

When the storms of life, are raging; when trials and tribulations seems endless; when sicknesses come in like flood. I asked again, who do you run to? DO YOU TURN TO THE DOCTORS, MEDICINE, ALCOHOL, OR ANY OTHER MEANS,TO EASE YOUR TROUBLES.

One song writer says: ” I go to the rock of my salvation, to the stone, that the builders rejected…” .Another song writer says: “On Christ the solid rock I stand,all other ground is sinking sand”.

But the Bible says in Psalms 121:1-8 NKJV :
” I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help?  My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.  He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.  The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.  The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.”

Then  David,  In Psalms 34:4-19 NKJV says:
” I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.  The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.  Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!  Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. 

Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?  Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.  The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

IN ALL YOUR TROUBLES, AND PROBLEMS. DID YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE LORD, DID YOU SEEK HIS ADVICE. HE SAID:

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.” ( Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV).

” God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;  Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah ” ( Psalms 46 : 1-3 NKJV).

” But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; … ” ( Isaiah 43 : 1-3 NKJV).

JESUS SAID IN ,MATTHEW 11:28-30 NKJV
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

” Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”( Hebrews 4:14-16 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.  But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,  I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.  I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live..”( Deuteronomy 30: 15-19 NKJV).

” Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.  But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.  And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”:  eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,  tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.”( Romans 2:1-11 NKJV).

..” For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
[27] And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.”(Hebrews 9: 24,27-28 NKJV).

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV].

” Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.”( Psalms 23:4-6 NKJV).

” He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.  He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.  You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,  Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.  A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.  In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.  He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.  With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” ( Psalms 91: 1-16 NKJV).

We are Protected by GOD Almighty.
In the World many need Insurance for Protection, but in the Kingdom of God we have His Assurance for our Protection.
Jesus Prayed for our Protection In John 17:15 Jesus prayed to the Father and said:
I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that You should KEEP (guard, watch over and protect) them from the evil that is in the Word.

In Hebrews 13:5 He promised us:
…for He has said, I will never leave us, nor forsake us.
+Know this! God protects His people.
+Remain Faithful unto Him. He is already Faithful unto us.
+Call upon the Lord as often as you need to. He is near unto them that love Him.
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass that whosoever call upon the Name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.
HALLELUJAHS TO JESUS!!!
+We are in God’s Protection Plan.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

” The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”( Proverbs 10:22 NKJV).

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” ( James 1:17 NKJV).

God’s goodness gives you power to resist temptation because temptation loses some of its attraction when you truly believe God is not withholding anything good from you. Satan’s strategy or I prefer to call him “The Dumb Devil is like a fisherman hiding a hook beneath attractive bait. He shows you what you can gain now while hiding what it may cost you later. But James reminds us that God is never the source of evil. God may allow a trial to strengthen you, but the enemy wants to use that same pressure to tempt you into compromise. The question is not merely, “What do I want?” but, “Where will this choice take me?”

Temptation often begins with a legitimate desire that gets pulled outside God’s boundaries. The desire for comfort can become laziness. The desire for possessions can become greed. The desire for intimacy can become immorality. The enemy does not need to manufacture every desire; he simply tries to attach the wrong opportunity to something already stirring inside you. That is why spiritual victory requires more than following your feelings. Sometimes faith means telling yourself “no” because God has already said “no.” Your emotions may be loud, but God’s Word must have the final vote.

When temptation comes, remember who God is. His goodness has not changed because your circumstances became difficult. Like the sun that keeps shining even when the earth turns away from it, God remains faithful even when shadows appear in your life. Keep your heart facing Him. Fill your mind with His Word and answer temptation the way Jesus did: “It is written.” God has promised to provide a way of escape, so you never have to accept the dumb devil’s bait as though it were your only option. You belong to God, you have been given new life, and by His strength you can choose what leads to freedom instead of what produces bondage.
You do not have to bite the bait—the goodness of God gives you every reason to trust Him, reject compromise, and choose the life He has prepared for you.

Let’s pray:

Almighty Father God in the name of Jesus through the Holy Spirit, Hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in Heaven. Father, help me trust Your goodness when temptation makes sin look attractive, and give me strength to recognize the bait, remember Your Word, and choose obedience. Keep my heart turned toward You and lead me in Your way of life and freedom. In Jesus’ name, I do pray and declare it all. Blessed are we and blessed we will always be and to our Lord Jesus Christ be all the Glory. Amen.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

GOD sees, and knows everything,you can’t hide anything from Him, He even knows what you’re thinking.

” Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?  If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.”( Psalms 139 : 7-12 NKJV).

” Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.  For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”(Galatians 6:7-10 NKJV).

” Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”( Matthew 12:34-37 NKJV).

” Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”(Ephesians 4:29-32 NKJV).

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV]

REJOICE in the Lord, and piss that dumb devil off.

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.” ( Psalms 118:24 NKJV).

God is telling us ,that He made this day,and He wants us to be happy, and celebrate.

“I REJOICE at Your word As one who finds great treasure.” (Psalms 119 : 162 NKJV).

” I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.  I will be glad and REJOICE in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.”( Psalms 9:1-2 NKJV).

“REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”( Philippians 4 :4-9 NKJV).

So no matter what, is happening in your life, as a child of God . Romans 8:28 NKJV says this: ” And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. “

” pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ( 1 Thessalonians 5 :17-18 NKJV).

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,  as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,  by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”( 2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV).

FINALLY,
Romans 12:9-12 NKJV SAYS:
” Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;  REJOICING IN HOPE, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; “

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [ Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV].

Sending the Word of God
Psalm 107:20
He SENT his Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

● When was the last time we SENT the Word of God into a situation or circumstance?
● You can SEND a Word of Salvation, Healing, Deliverance , Prosperity, Protection, Provision in the Name of Jesus, and the List goes on.

Job 22:28 said :
You shall also DECREE a thing, and it shall be established unto you: and the light shall shine upon your ways.
● We send forth the Word of God when we decree the promises of God in the situation and the circumstance, and in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 55:10-11 says:
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,
So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I SENT it.

● Remember the Centurion In Matthew Ch-8. He said to Jesus in verse eight… “speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.”
● In other words or to paraphrase he saying just SEND the Word only and my servant shall be healed.
● We can do the same thing in the Almighty Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
● The promises of God are never out of reach. We have them by Faith in Him. Continue practicing sending the Word with Faith, and you are Blessed to do so. Amen !

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV].

continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.  It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.”(Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV)

Bethany Baird said, “All of our worries can be put to rest as we believe God’s promise and trust that He will make our paths straight.”

” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5: 6-11 NKJV).

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”( Proverbs 4:7 NKJV).

Wisdom, how do we get it and use it? First start with talking to your Father in Heaven in prayer. Next start reading your Bible and Proverbs is a great place to start. You will learn the reason for Proverbs. You will learn to listen to wisdom. You will learn the benefits of wisdom. How to use wisdom. How to cherish wisdom. How to stay on the path of wisdom. How to stay focused on wisdom. We all get confused at times on which way to go. Trust and have faith that our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST has our back and will direct our steps.

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV].

IF GOD TELLS YOU TO BE STRONG, JUST BE STRONG.

” Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”( Deuteronomy 31: 6-8 NKJV).

” Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.  Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”( Joshua 1:6- 9 NKJV).

” Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;  praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—”( Ephesians 6:10-18 NKJV).

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. “[ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV].
