14 Verses to Prepare You for Spiritual Warfare

12. Ephesians 6:10–11 “Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God.”

13. 1 John 4:4 “The One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”

God lives in us. That’s amazing. That’s also our guarantee of victory.

14. Revelation 12:11 “They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives in the face of death.”
