You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness. There will be no miscarriages or infertility in your land, and I will give you long, full lives.

God said, Let us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth….

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them.

This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—be convinced that you have received it and it will be yours.

The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

The government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ—God’s righteousness.

“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked.

And it is impossible to please God without faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God…

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all.

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we could ask or think, according to the power that works with in us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

How joyful are those who fear the Lord—all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
