31 Bible Quotes on Spiritual warfare 1

Then the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!” So he said to them, “I

saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Look, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and on the full

force of the enemy, and nothing will hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that

your names stand written in heaven.”

Luke 10:17-20

because everyone who has been fathered by God conquers the world.

1 John 5:4

You give me your protective shield;

your right hand supports me;

your willingness to help enables me to prevail.

Psalms 18:35

Compete well for the faith and lay hold of that eternal life you were called for and made your good confession for in the

presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

O Lord, do not let the wicked have their way!

Do not allow their plan to succeed when they attack! (Selah)

Psalms 140:8

When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him, and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he

has seizures and suffers terribly, for he often falls into the fire and into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they

were not able to heal him.” Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with

you? How much longer must I endure you? Bring him here to me.” Then Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him,

and the boy was healed from that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why couldn’t we cast it

out?” He told them, “It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you

will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:14-21

I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith! Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me.

The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day – and not to me only, but also to all who have set their

affection on his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and who makes known through us the

fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place. For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God among those

who are being saved and among those who are perishing – to the latter an odor from death to death, but to the former a

fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? For we are not like so many others, hucksters who peddle

the word of God for profit, but we are speaking in Christ before God as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17

You have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshed in your struggle against sin. And have you forgotten the exhortation

addressed to you as sons?

“My son, do not scorn the Lord’s discipline

or give up when he corrects you.

“For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.”

Hebrews 12:4-6

But they overcame him

by the blood of the Lamb

and by the word of their testimony,

and they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

Revelation 12:11

for the joy of the lord is your strength.

Nehemiah 8:10b

The Lord will fight for you, and you can be still.

Exodus 14:14

When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

John 19:30

The God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Romans 16:20

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on

behalf of his name.

Romans 1:5

Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one

who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us. Who will

separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or

sword? As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be

slaughtered.” No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us! For I am convinced that neither

death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor

depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:33-39

This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials. Such trials show the proven

character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold – gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away –

and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. You have not seen him, but you love him. You do

not see him now but you believe in him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, because you are attaining

the goal of your faith – the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1:6-9

You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from

a pure heart.

1 Peter 1:22

Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul,

1 Peter 2:11

Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that

you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the

rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. For

this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done

everything, to stand. Stand firm therefore, by fastening the belt of truth around your waist, by putting on the breastplate of

righteousness, by fitting your feet with the preparation that comes from the good news of peace, and in all of this, by

taking up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of

salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With every prayer and petition, pray at all times in the Spirit,

and to this end be alert, with all perseverance and requests for all the saints. Pray for me also, that I may be given the

message when I begin to speak – that I may confidently make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an

ambassador in chains. Pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I ought to speak.

Ephesians 6:10-20

Do not give the devil an opportunity.

Ephesians 4:27

Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle

inside you? You desire and you do not have; you murder and envy and you cannot obtain; you quarrel and fight. You do not

have because you do not ask; you ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so you can spend it on your passions.

Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever decides to be the

world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy. Or do you think the scripture means nothing when it says, “The spirit that

God caused to live within us has an envious yearning”? But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the

proud, but he gives grace to the humble.” So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.

James 4:1-7

Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour. Resist

him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same

kinds of suffering. And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in

Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him belongs the power forever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:8-11

But even when Michael the archangel was arguing with the devil and debating with him concerning Moses’ body, he did not

dare to bring a slanderous judgment, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!

Jude 1:9

But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you. When a strong man, fully

armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe. But when a stronger man attacks and conquers him, he takes away

the first man’s armor on which the man relied and divides up his plunder. Whoever is not with me is against me, and

whoever does not gather with me scatters.

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but not finding any.

Then it says, ‘I will return to the home I left.’ When it returns, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes

and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, so the last state of that person is worse

than the first.”

Luke 11:20-26

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry. But as

God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in

distresses, in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in hunger, by purity, by knowledge, by

patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love, by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of

righteousness both for the right hand and for the left, through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as

impostors, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are

scourged and yet not executed; as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and

yet possessing everything.

2 Corinthians 6:3-10

For though we live as human beings, we do not wage war according to human standards, for the weapons of our warfare

are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments and every

arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it

obey Christ. We are also ready to punish every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that

clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and

perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the

right hand of the throne of God. Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not

grow weary in your souls and give up.

Hebrews 12:1-3

Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land.

Exodus 23:30

The Lord will cause your enemies who attack you to be struck down before you; they will attack you from one direction but

flee from you in seven different directions.

Deuteronomy 28:7

Splendor

“Arise! Shine! For your light arrives!

The splendor of the Lord shines on you!

For, look, darkness covers the earth

and deep darkness covers the nations,

but the Lord shines on you;

his splendor appears over you.

Nations come to your light,

kings to your bright light.

Isaiah 60:1-3

Live in the light

Now this is the gospel message we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness

at all. If we say we have fellowship with him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the

truth. But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his

Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we do not bear the guilt of sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in

us. But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, forgiving us our sins and cleansing us from all

unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us. (My little children, I am writing

these things to you so that you may not sin.) But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the

righteous One, and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.

1 John 1:5-2:2

May you have lifelong strength

The bars of your gates will be made of iron and bronze,

and may you have lifelong strength.

There is no one like God, O Jeshurun,

who rides through the sky to help you,

on the clouds in majesty.

The everlasting God is a refuge,

and underneath you are his eternal arms;

he has driven out enemies before you,

and has said, “Destroy!”

Israel lives in safety,

the fountain of Jacob is quite secure,

in a land of grain and new wine;

indeed, its heavens rain down dew.

You have joy, Israel! Who is like you?

You are a people delivered by the Lord,

your protective shield

and your exalted sword.

May your enemies cringe before you;

may you trample on their backs.

Deuteronomy 33:25-29

The Lord supper

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took

bread, and after he had given thanks he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of

me.” In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, every

time you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s

death until he comes.

For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and

blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup. For the

one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself. That is why many of

you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead. But if we examined ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are

judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned with the world.

1 Corinthians 11:23-32

To follow Jesus

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and

follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what does it

benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life? For the

Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he

has done. I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the Son of Man

coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 16:24-28

The triumphant Jesus

And even though you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless made you

alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions. He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of

indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross. Disarming the rulers and

authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Colossians 2:13-15

Resist the devil

So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.

James 4:7

A house built on rock

“Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the

flood came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been founded on rock. Everyone

who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the

flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed!”

Matthew 7:24-27

Under Gods protection

We know that everyone fathered by God does not sin, but God protects the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot

touch him. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son

of God has come and has given us insight to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.

This one is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

1 John 5:18-21

Weapons of light

The night has advanced toward dawn; the day is near. So then we must lay aside the works of darkness, and put on the

weapons of light. Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and

sensuality, not in discord and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse

its desires.

Romans 13:12-14

Endurance during trials

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry. But as

God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in

distresses, in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in hunger, by purity, by knowledge, by

patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love, by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of

righteousness both for the right hand and for the left, through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as

impostors, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are

scourged and yet not executed; as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and

yet possessing everything.

2 Corinthians 6:3-10

Tounges and prophesy

I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one

who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.

1 Corinthians 14:5

Angels as servants

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1:14

The breastplate of faith

For you all are sons of the light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. So then we must not sleep

as the rest, but must stay alert and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at

night. But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our

hope for salvation. For God did not destine us for wrath but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for

us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build

up each other, just as you are in fact doing.

1 Thessalonians 5

Catching people

But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful

man!” For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, and so were James and

John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you

will be catching people.” So when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

Luke 5:8-11

Fishers of people

As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net

into the sea (for they were fishermen). He said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.” They left their

nets immediately and followed him.

Matthew 4:18-20

Overcome evil with good

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21

Be conscientious

Be conscientious about how you live and what you teach. Persevere in this, because by doing so you will save both yourself

and those who listen to you.

1 Timothy 4:16

Know if the teaching is from God

So Jesus replied, “My teaching is not from me, but from the one who sent me. If anyone wants to do God’s will, he will know

about my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak from my own authority.

John 7:16-17

I have food to eat that you know nothing about

Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know

nothing about.” So the disciples began to say to one another, “No one brought him anything to eat, did they?” Jesus said to

them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work. Don’t you say, ‘There are four more

months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up and see that the fields are already white for harvest! The one who

reaps receives pay and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice

together. For in this instance the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap what you did not work for;

others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

John 4:31-38

God orders his angels

For he will order his angels

to protect you in all you do.

They will lift you up in their hands,

so you will not slip and fall on a stone.

Psalms 91:11-12

Subdue and trample

You will subdue a lion and a snake;

you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent.

Sal 91:13

Imitate me as I imitate Christ

Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:1

Think about these things

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is

lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. And what you learned

and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9

Good days

Do you want to really live?

Would you love to live a long, happy life?

Then make sure you don’t speak evil words

or use deceptive speech!

Turn away from evil and do what is right!

Strive for peace and promote it!

Psalms 34:12-14

Life by the word of God

But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Matthew 4:4

Bind and release

“I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will

have been released in heaven.

Matthew 18:18

Answer to prayer

Again, I tell you the truth, if two of you on earth agree about whatever you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For

where two or three are assembled in my name, I am there among them.”

Matthew 18:19-20

Obedience better than offering

Then Samuel said,

“Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices

as much as he does in obedience?

Certainly, obedience is better than sacrifice;

paying attention is better than the fat of rams.

1 Samuel 15:22

Live in security

But the one who listens to me will live in security,

and will be at ease from the dread of harm.

Proverbs 1:33

Healing and refreshment

Do not be wise in your own estimation;

fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

This will bring healing to your body,

and refreshment to your inner self.

Proverbs 3:7-8
