Ephesians 3:16-18
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.
NLT:
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you
with inner strength through his Spirit.
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and
keep you strong. And may you have the
power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high,
and how deep his love is.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence.
NLT: So let us come boldly to the
throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find
grace to help us when we need it most.
John 8:44
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire…When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
NLT:
For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do
the evil things he does. He was a
murderer from the beginning. He has
always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his
character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
James 4:7-8 (NKJV)
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you doubleminded.
NLT:
So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to
you. Wash your hands, you sinners;
purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
