Review from last week:
Stand your Ground•Why we are on this battle•Who we are fighting against•How we are to wage this war
Ephesians 6:18-20 (HCSB)
18 Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.20 For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.
Philippians 4:1-3 (NIV84)
1 Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.3 Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Ephesians 2:11-12 (NIV)
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (which is done in the body by human hands)—12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:13,18-19 (NCV)
13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away from God are brought near through the blood of Christ’s death18 Yes, it is through Christ we all have the right to come to the Father in one Spirit.19 Now you who are not Jewish are not foreigners or strangers any longer, but are citizens together with God’s holy people. You belong to God’s family.
Isaiah 35:3-4 (NIV)
3 Strengthen the feeble hands,steady the knees that give way;4 say to those with fearful hearts,"Be strong, do not fear;your God will come,he will come with vengeance;with divine retributionhe will come to save you."
2 Timothy 4:9-11 (NIV)
9 Do your best to come to me quickly,10 for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry.
Matthew 5:13-14 (NIV)13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Ephesians 6:18-20 (NIV)
18 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 all the Lord's people.19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Colossians 4:2-4 (NIV)
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should
