Psalm 8:1,2 - O Lord our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.
God equates praise with strength. Praise stops satan in his tracks. It is a weapon to use in calling a halt to satan's maneuvers.
Genesis 1:2 -- And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
Those who are born of the Spirit will also be moving, flowing, and going somewhere. This is the nature of those who are born of the Spirit.
John 3:8 -- The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is every one who is born of the Spirit.
Romans 5:3,4 -- And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope.
Jesus did not come to deliver us from our problems, but from ourselves. He did not come to change our circumstances -- He came to change us.
Although not included in the Bible I love this passage from the Gospel of Thomas in the Gnostic Gospels..."...Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."
Luke 9:23 -- And He was saying to them all, "If any wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
When Jesus called his disciples, it was for total commitment. They had to be willing to leave everything to follow Him, and so do we. If He is not the Lord of all, then He is not our Lord at all.
Hosea 4:6 -- My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shat be no priest to me: seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Our ignorance of the word of God is the only effective weapon an enemy can use against us.
