-
Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power.Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.Stand firm therefore, by fastening the belt of truth around your waist, by putting on the breastplate of righteousness,by fitting your feet with the preparation that comes from the good news of peace,and in all of this, by taking up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.With every prayer and petition, pray at all times in the Spirit, and to this end be alert, with all perseverance and requests for all the saints.Pray for me also, that I may be given the message when I begin to speak– that I may confidently make known the mystery of the gospel,for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I ought to speak.

Luke 14:31
Or what king, going out to confront another king in battle, will not sit down first and determine whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

2 Timothy 4 7
I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith!
-
1 Corinthians 9 25-1 Corinthians 9 27
Each competitor must exercise self- control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.So I do not run uncertainly or box like one who hits only air.Instead I subdue my body and make it my slave, so that after preaching to others I myself will not be disqualified.
-
Proverbs 15:22
Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with abundant advisers they are established.
-
1 Timothy 6 11-1 Timothy 6 12
But you, as a person dedicated to God, keep away from all that. Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.Compete well for the faith and lay hold of that eternal life you were called for and made your good confession for in the presence of many witnesses.
