1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
2Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you

SWORD
|
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
PRAYER
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men every where pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Prayer is what holds the armour in place.
The whole armour of God
Loins girt about with truth breastplate of righteousness;
Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Shield of faith
Helmet of salvation,
Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always
