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.

Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand, therefore, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of rightousness,

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked,

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, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

(Ephesians 6:12 - 18 KJV)."

"For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12 KJV)."

"...When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19 KJV)."

"Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7 KJV)."

"Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath 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
(Psalms 91:15 KJV)."

"...Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?...Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm 43: 2,5 KJV)."

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be not dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)."

"...Neither be ye grieved; for the joy of the Lord is your strength
(Nehemiah 8:10 KJV)."

"...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8 KJV)."

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4 KJV)."

"...for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (l John 3:8 KJV)."

"...for the battle is the Lord's...(l Samuel 17:47 KJV)."

"THE BATTLE . . . . . . IS THE LORD'S!"

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1 KJV)."

"The night is far spent, the day is at hand;
let us, therefore, cast off the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armor of light.
(Romans 13:12 KJV)."

"For whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
(1 John 5:4,5 (KJV)."

"...Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony
(Revelation 12: 10,11 KJV)."

"And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great, And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty peals of thunder, saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth (Revelation 19:6 KJV)."

"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone...and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever
(Revelation 20:10.)"

"And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him; And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign forever and ever (Revelation 22:5 KJV)."
