We are praying, too, that you will be filled with his mighty glorious strength so that you can keep going no matter what happens--always full of the joy of the Lord, always thankful to the Father who has made us fit to share all the wonderful things that belong to those who live in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us out of the darkness and gloom of Satan's kingdom and brought us into the kingdom of his dear Son, who bought our freedom with his blood and forgave us all our sins. Col 1:11-14
I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him. It is that same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in heaven, And God has put all things under his feet and made him the supreme Head of the church--which is his body, filled with himself, the Author and Giver of everything everywhere. Eph 1: 19-20
Far, far above any other kin or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes, his honor is far more glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world to come. Eph 1:21-23
Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord's mighty power within you. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies--the evil ruler of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge number of wicked spirits in the spirit world.
So use every piece of the God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up. Eph 6:10-13
