Our Weapons

By -
Image
The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, — 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (AMP) May we renew our minds with the Word of God and cast down every argument and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Our weapon is the Word of God. (See Ephesians 6:17) ...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in...

How Kind!

“How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!” — Psalms 116:5-9 (NLT) “What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.” (Psalms 116:12-13) “All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.” (Psalms 115:11) It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in people. (Psalms 118:8) For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (See Hebrews 13:5) “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.” (Psalms 118:29 NLT)

“Not My Will”

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” — Luke 22:41-42 (NKJV) No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV) Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Mark 14:38 NKJV) Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:12 NKJV)

“Yahweh will give strength to His people; Yahweh will bless His people with peace.” — Psalms 29:11 (LSB) Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not become weary or tired. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31 LSB/NLT) Find new strength today. Yahweh will keep the peace, a perfect peace, for all who trust in Him, for those who dedicate their hearts and minds to Him. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. (See Isaiah 26:3 VOICE/NKJV)

The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” — Lamentations 3:22-24 (NLT) …I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me. (See Psalms 13:5-6 NLT) “For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.” (Psalms 108:4-5) It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, (Psalms 92:2) Praise the LORD, all you nations.

“Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud.” — Psalms 138:6 (NLT) “The Lord supports the humble…” (See Psalms 147:6 NLT) “He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.” (Psalms 25:9-10 NLT) “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” (Proverbs 11:2 NLT) A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor. (Proverbs 29:23 NKJV) And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12 NKJV) …“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 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. (See 1 Peter 5:5-7 NKJV) “Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble wit...

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.” — Psalms 30:4-5 (NLT) “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.” (Psalms 63:1 NKJV) …In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
