Text that teaches us to forgive our enemies, despise fighting flesh but hands on in prayer.

@Chrys,
As you need chapters to teach on how to be born again. You may want to start with John 3 which speaks about being born again. Also Hebrews which speaks about faith; 2 Corinthians 7:10 speaks about repentance. Acts 2:8, 10 which speaks of the water baptism in Jesus name and being filled with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost which is initially evidenced by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. This is positive proof that the Holy Ghost resides inside you. I pray that the Lord bless you as you teach on salvation and the importance of the water baptism in JESUS’ name. Acts 4:12 neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Also in John 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. I pray this helps.

I think is very clear and perfect for those who do that to know that they are not serving God but men. So that by reading it they will understand the true way of serving Lord. Please I need chapters to teach how to get born again. Thanks.

Truth, ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The shield of righteousness is used to protect one from the arrows thrown by the enemy. There are many arrows from the enemy; the child of God should be clothed with righteousness to be able to fight.

When we believe in Christ, these beings become our enemies, and they try every device to turn us away from Him and back to sin. This battle is against all who are on the Lord’s side.

Dear Fellow Laborers,
Ephesians 6 is connected with 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, and they have given us the full account of what had happened in the Books of Genesis 3, Isaiah 14:12-17 and Ezekiel 28:1-19. It is very important that every believer should have the full knowledge of what the spiritual warfare is all about. It`s very unfortunate that most Christians may not believe that Satan and his demonic forces/spirits are real. But the truth is that they are real, and if they were not real why would the gospels of Mathew 4 and Luke 4 speak about the temptation of our Lord Jesus Christ. The fact is that it is the desire of Satan to defeat us from serving the Lord. But thanks be to God that Ephesians 6 has given us the full details, and stated that we need to wear righteousness as a garment, use the Word of God which is the Sword of Spirit, and talks more about faith and staying in prayers always. With this knowledge, I do think that everyone who loves Christ Jesus with a sincere heart (verse 24), will surely stand against every of satanic tricks. We thank God that the Holy Spirit did not withhold this information from us. And every Christian must accept the fact that this is a true definition of the spiritual warfare.

It has been my experience that this is about realizing that EVERY thought in our head is indeed its own prayer, and we are to be MINDFUL of God and nothing else, so as to fervently watch that we do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Unceasingly means... we hold all thoughts captive to Christ... and CHRIST alone... it is NOT a religious mantra... God is THAT much every moment of every day.

The scripture is talking about powers and dark forces that we cannot see. There is a spiritual fight going on between God and his angels, and Satan and his demons. This is why there is a scripture that says put on the whole armour of God. We have to be equipped with the word and ready to stand.

Lord, please help me.
Pamela's comment about verse 16 on 12/17/2012, 12:32pm...
Looking at this verse again, it is encouraging to think about the word extinguish, which means to really put out and render powerless in this sense. Keep in one's mind's eye a raging inferno that is suddenly put out. There may be quite a lot of smoke damage, and maybe some other damage too, but there is nothing to damage or harm the believer, if your trust is in God.

Paul is explaining perfectly the New World Order, which makes me wonder if Romans 13 is a mistranslation -deliberate? And in fact there has been no authority as are not in accordance with Gods' laws.

I BELIEVE THAT IS THE TRUTH.

High places refers to persons, devices, vehicles, etcetera, who, through pride, vanity and fear, would replace the commandments, the sacrifice of the mass for whoredoms as in drugs, prostitution, porn and adulteries. All the best and in all humility. Peter

Ephesians 6:10-12. ...Be strong in the lord, and in the power of his might, -make sure your relationship with Jesus is mature and your spirit is filled with his divine word. 11-Put on the whole amour of God,...against the wiles of the devil, -take with you all spiritual weapons needed for protection and fighting in times of spiritual battle against forces of darkness. 12-For we wrestle not...flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers,... in high places. Here we discover the kind and nature of war: it’s a spiritual one against disembodied evil spirits as fallen angels working under the command of Satan, the devil. They are waging war from spiritual space and they can’t be seen since they are spiritual. Here we need the blood of Jesus, the word of God and the fire of the holy ghost to win this fight.

We have to walk in faith with the boldness God intends us to do and use the whole armor to stand for righteousness and in faith.
André's comment on 10/08/2012, 4:49am...
@ CDFrom,
The fact is that even when we have flesh in front of us, flesh is always behind the spirit that moves it. So flesh is just a pawn, but the real force is spirit.
However, as you have that version, you can time after time copy extracts of the same and search them on Google. You may end up identifying what the version really is.
Thank you for sharing.
God bless you

I have an older copy of the new testament in which the cover and a few pages from the front are missing. This passage reads: We wrestle not ONLY with flesh and blood... The ONLY is a striking contrast to all other versions I have seen, and one word with huge implications, like 7 billion now living, not to mention those the memories of flesh and blood since past, that shape our beliefs. I often wonder about the translation, its origin, and which is true. End story remains the same GOD is GOD, I am not and Christ alone has paid the penalty for sin.

Be Prayful, let the armor be your guide and make Christ to be your banner

As a soldier in the army of the Lord we must totally rely on his strength and abilty to wage war against the forces of darkness

I believe that we should do this first thing in the morning, before we get out of bed.
Simon's comment on 7/15/2012, 4:04am...
its important for True worshippers to put on the full Armour Of God and B ready To wrestle against the Devil schemes, strongholds, prisperities, evil spirits and we become Victorious.

Be upright with God & holiness is also a key. Conversant in Gods word

Long life on earth which is enjoyed by the blessed obedient children as translated in New International Version, not just a long life with lots of pains and untold miseries,is found more worth-promising by the Almighty God.
Stacy's comment on 5/09/2012, 7:13am...
