3. EPHESIANS 6:10-13
From now on*, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your
stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle
is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the powers of this
dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the
full armor of God, so that when the day
of evil comes, you may be able to
stand your ground, and after you
have done everything, to stand.
4. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around
your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in
place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes
from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up
the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the
flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds
of prayers and requests. With this in mind,
be alert and always keep on praying for

10. 2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5 (NIV)
For though we live in the world,
we do not wage war as the world does.
The weapons we fight with are
not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine
power to demolish strongholds.
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.
11. 2 TIMOTHY 1:7
For God did not give us
a spirit of fear, but one of
power, and of love, and of
a sound mind (self-discipline)
