SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATIONS

II Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJ “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

Ephesians 4:26-27 NASB “Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity."

Psalm 61:2-4 NASB “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
    For You have been a refuge for me,
         A tower of strength against the enemy.
    Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
         Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.”

 Ephesians 4:30-32 NASB “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."

 Isaiah 61:1-4 NKJ  “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
      Because the LORD has anointed Me
      To preach good tidings to the poor;
      He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
      To proclaim liberty to the captives,
      And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
      To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
      And the day of vengeance of our God;
      To comfort all who mourn,
      To console those who mourn in Zion,
      To give them beauty for ashes,
      The oil of joy for mourning,
      The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
      That they may be called trees of righteousness,
      The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
      And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
      They shall raise up the former desolations,
      And they shall repair the ruined cities,
      The desolations of many generations.
