false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and

Called
To Be A Spiritual Soldier.
Romans 7:21-25
NLT
21 I have discovered this principle
of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what
is wrong.
22 I love God’s law with all my
heart.
23 But there is another power within
me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the
sin that is still within me.
24 Oh, what a miserable person I am!
Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?
25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus
Christ our Lord..."
Romans 13:12 KJV

at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us
put on the armor of Light.

Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
II Corinthians
10:3-5 NLT
3 We are human, but we don’t wage
war as humans do.
4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not
worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and
to destroy false arguments.
5 We destroy every proud obstacle
that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious
thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong
in The Lord, and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God,
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
13 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.
14 Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with Truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
I Thessalonians
5:8 KJV
But let us, who are of the day, be
sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an
helmet, the hope of salvation.
II Thessalonians
1:6,7 KJV
6 In his justice he will pay back
those who persecute you.
7 And God will provide rest for you
who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears
from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels,
I Timothy
1:18,19 NLT
18 Timothy, my son, here are my
instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you
earlier. May they help you fight well in The Lord’s battles.
19 Cling to your faith in Christ,
and keep your conscience clear..."
II Timothy 2:3,4
KJV
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as
a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth
himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who
hath chosen him to be a soldier.
I Timothy
6:12-14 NLT
12 Fight the good fight for the true
faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you,
which you have declared so well before many witnesses.
13 And I charge you before God, who
gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony
before Pontius Pilate,
14 that you obey this command
without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until
our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
II Timothy
2:1-4, 8-13 NLT
1 Timothy, my dear son, be strong
through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.
2 You have heard me teach things
that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these
truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on
to others.
3 Endure suffering along with me, as
a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Soldiers don’t get tied up in
the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer
who enlisted them.
8 Always remember that Jesus Christ,
a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the
Good News I preach.
9 And because I preach this Good
News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But The
Word Of God cannot be chained.
10 So I am willing to endure
anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus
to those God has chosen.
11 This is a trustworthy saying: If
we die with Him, we will also live with Him.
12 If we endure hardship, we will
reign with Him.
If we deny Him, He will deny us.
13 If we are unfaithful, He remains
faithful, for He cannot deny who He is.
II Timothy 4:18
KJV
And The Lord shall deliver me from
every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For The Word Of God is quick, 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.
James 4:7 KJV
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
I Peter 5:8,9
KJV
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking
whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.
Revelation 12:11
KJV
And they overcame him by The Blood
Of The Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not
their lives unto the death.
Victory
For God's Soldiers:
Psalm 44:5 KJV
Through thee will we push down our
enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up
against us.
Luke 10:19 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.
Romans
8:35,37-39 KJV
35 Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I John 5:4,5 KJV
4 For whatsoever is born of God over
cometh the world: and this is the victory that over cometh the world,
even our faith.
5 Who is he that over cometh the
world, but he that believeth that Jesus is
The Son Of God?
