FORTIFICATION from GOD

 

Philippians 4:13

King James Version

13 I can do all things through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.

Nothing like GOD's WORD to give us peace, safety, security.

And a good night's sleep.

Nothing like His Word to reassure us, each day.

Let His Word tell us so.

What could be stronger than a fortress?

Exodus 15:2-3

King James Version

2 The Lord is my strength and song, 

and he is become my salvation: 

he is my God, 

and I will prepare him an habitation; 

my father's God, 

and I will exalt him.

3 The Lord is a man of war: 

the Lord is his name.

What makes the enemy flee?

James 4:7

King James Version

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. 

Resist the devil, 

and he will flee from you.

How must we fortify?

Acts 16:31

King James Version

31 And they said, 

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, 

and thou shalt be saved, 

and thy house.

What strength do we have?

Ezekiel 3:8-9

King James Version

8 Behold, 

I have made thy face strong against their faces, 

and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

9 As an adamant harder than flint 

have I made thy forehead: 

fear them not, 

neither be dismayed at their looks, 

though they be a rebellious house.

Where do we get power from?

Luke 24:49

King James Version

49 And, behold, 

I send the promise of my Father upon you: 

but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, 

until ye be endued with power from on high.

How do we conquer fear?

2 Timothy 1:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

What ensures freedom?

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.

Who oversees everything?

Psalm 127:1

King James Version

127 Except the Lord build the house, 

they labour in vain that build it: 

except the Lord keep the city, 

the watchman waketh but in vain.

Who is the head of our army?

Acts 4:10-12

King James Version

10 Be it known unto you all,

and to all the people of Israel, 

that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 

whom ye crucified, 

whom God raised from the dead, 

even by him doth this man 

stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone 

which was set at nought of you builders, 

which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven

 given among men, 

whereby we must be saved.

Of course, we need GOD to fight our battles.

And to help fortify us, in spirit, and in truth.

Especially it's not an ordinary enemy.

JESUS tells us who the enemy is.

That's for the next post.
