Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Morning “No one ever spoke like this man!” You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.—The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary.—His mouth is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend. And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth.—He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly . . . in all wisdom.—The sword of the Spirit . . . is the word of God.—For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.—For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. John 7:46; Ps. 45:2; Isa. 50:4; Song 5:16; Luke 4:22; Matt. 7:29; Col. 3:16; Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12; 2 Cor. 10:4, 5 (Read full verses...) Evening “The exulting of the wicked is short.” “You shall bruise his heel.”—“This is your hour, and the power of darkness.”—Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil.—He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith.—Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.—The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.—The devil . . . was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, . . . and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
