Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic,

one who goes with you, to fight for you against your
enemies, to save you." (NAS)
Deuteronomy 31:5-6 -- "And the
LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall

God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail
you or forsake you." (NAS)

is He who has been fighting for you." (NAS)
Joshua 23:8-13 -- "But you are
to cling to the LORD your God, as you have done to
this day. "For the LORD has driven out great and
strong nations from before you; and as for you, no
man has stood before you to this day. "One of your
men puts to flight a thousand, for the LORD your God
is He who fights for you, just as He promised you.
"So take diligent heed to yourselves to love the
LORD your God. "For if you ever go back and cling to
the rest of these nations, these which remain among
you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate
with them and they with you, know with certainty
that the LORD your God will not continue to drive
these nations out from before you; but they shall be
a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides
and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off
this good land which the LORD your God has given
you." (NAS)
Joshua 24:16-18 -- "And the
people answered and said, "Far be it from us that we
should forsake the LORD to serve other gods; for the
LORD our God is He who brought us and our fathers up
out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
and who did these great signs in our sight and
preserved us through all the way in which we went
and among all the peoples through whose midst we
passed. "And the LORD drove out from before us all
the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the
land. We also will serve the LORD, for He is our
God." (NAS)
2 Samuel 22:29-50 -- "For Thou
art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD illumines my
darkness. "For by Thee I can run upon a troop; by my
God I can leap over a wall. "As for God, His way is
blameless; the word of the LORD is tested; He is a
shield to all who take refuge in Him. "For who is
God, besides the LORD? And who is a rock, besides
our God? "God is my strong fortress; and He sets the
blameless in His way. "He makes my feet like hinds'
feet and sets me on my high places. "He trains my
hands for battle, so that my arms can bend a bow of
bronze. "Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy
salvation, and Thy help makes me great. "Thou dost
enlarge my steps under me, and my feet have not
slipped. "I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
and I did not turn back until they were consumed.
"And I have devoured them and shattered them, so
that they did not rise; and they fell under my feet.
"For Thou hast girded me with strength for battle;
Thou hast subdued under me those who rose up against
me. "Thou hast also made my enemies turn their backs
to me, and I destroyed those who hated me. "They
looked, but there was none to save; even to the
LORD, but He did not answer them. "Then I pulverized
them as the dust of the earth, I crushed and stamped
them as the mire of the streets. "Thou hast also
delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou
hast kept me as head of the nations; a people whom I
have not known serve me. "Foreigners pretend
obedience to me; as soon as they hear, they obey me.
"Foreigners lose heart, and come trembling out of
their fortresses. "The LORD lives, and blessed be my
rock; and exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
The God who executes vengeance for me, and brings
down peoples under me, Who also brings me out from
my enemies; Thou dost even lift me above those who
rise up against me; Thou dost rescue me from the
violent man. "Therefore I will give thanks to Thee,
O LORD, among the nations, and I will sing praises
to Thy name." (NAS)

David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and

service of the house of the LORD is finished." (NAS)
Psalm 23:1-6 -- "The LORD is my
shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in
green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He
restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of
righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy
staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast
anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely
goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the
days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of
the LORD forever." (NAS)
Psalm 54:4-7 -- "Behold, God is
my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul. He

is good. For He has delivered me from all trouble;
and my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my
enemies." (NAS)
Psalm 56:9-13 -- "Then my
enemies will turn back in the day when I call; this
I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I
praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, In God I
have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can
man do to me? Thy vows are binding upon me, O God; I
will render thank offerings to Thee. For Thou hast
delivered my soul from death, indeed my feet from
stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the
light of the living." (NAS)
Psalm 68:19-20 -- "Blessed be
the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is

LORD; for although Thou wast angry with me, Thine
anger is turned away, and Thou dost comfort me.

joyously draw water from the springs of salvation.
And in that day you will say, "Give thanks to the
LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among
the peoples; make them remember that His name is
exalted." Praise the LORD in song, for He has done
excellent things; let this be known throughout the
earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of
Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of
Israel." (NAS)
Isaiah 45:18-23 -- "For thus
says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is the
God who formed the earth and made it, He established
it and did not create it a waste place, But formed
it to be inhabited), "I am the LORD, and there is
none else. "I have not spoken in secret, in some
dark land; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,
'Seek me in a waste place'; I, the LORD, speak
righteousness declaring things that are upright.
"Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, you
fugitives of the nations; they have no knowledge,
who carry about their wooden idol, and pray to a god
who cannot save. "Declare and set forth your case;
indeed, let them consult together. Who has announced
this from of old? Who has long since declared it? Is
it not I, the LORD? And there is no other God
besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is
none except me. "Turn to me, and be saved, all the
ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no
other. "I have sworn by myself, the word has gone
forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not
turn back, that to me every knee will bow, every
tongue will swear allegiance." (NAS)

your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He

joy." (NAS)
Luke 2:10-14 -- "And the angel
said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring
you good news of a great joy which shall be for all
the people; for today in the city of David there has
been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
"And this will be a sign for you: you will find a
baby wrapped in cloths, and lying in a manger." And
suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude
of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace
among men with whom He is pleased." (NAS)
John 4:41-42 -- "And many more
believed because of His word; and they were saying
to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you
said that we believe, for we have heard for
ourselves and know that this One is indeed the
Savior of the world." (NAS)

been written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may
have life in His name." (NAS)
Acts 5:30-32 -- "The God of our
fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death
by hanging Him on a cross. "He is the one whom God
exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior,

sins. "And we are witnesses of these things; and so
is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who
obey Him." (NAS)
Acts 13:22-23 -- "And after He
had removed him, He raised up David to be their
king, concerning whom He also testified and said, 'I
have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My
heart, who will do all My will.' "From the offspring
of this man, according to promise, God has brought
to Israel a Savior, Jesus," (NAS)
Romans 8:31-39 -- "What then
shall we say to these things? If God is for
us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own
Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He
not also with Him freely give us all things? Who
will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the
one who justifies; who is the one who condemns?
Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was
raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also
intercedes for us. Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or
sword? Just as it is written, "For Thy sake we are
being put to death all day long; we were considered
as sheep to be slaughtered." But in all these things
we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor
things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other created thing, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord. (NAS)
Ephesians 5:23 -- "For the
husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is
the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior
of the body." (NAS)
Philippians 3:20-21 -- "For our
citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly
wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will
transform the body of our humble state into
conformity with the body of His glory, by the
exertion of the power that He has even to subject
all things to Himself." (NAS)
1 Timothy 4:10 -- "For it is
for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed
our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all
men, especially of believers." (NAS)
2 Timothy 1:8-10 -- "Therefore
do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or
of me His prisoner; but join with me in suffering
for the gospel according to the power of God, who
has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not
according to our works, but according to His own
purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ
Jesus from all eternity, but now has been revealed
by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who
abolished death, and brought life and immortality to
light through the gospel," (NAS)
Hebrews 6:9-14 -- "But,
beloved, we are convinced of better things
concerning you, and things that accompany salvation,
though we are speaking in this way. For God is not
unjust so as to forget your work and the love which
you have shown toward His name, in having ministered
and in still ministering to the saints. And we
desire that each one of you show the same diligence
so as to realize the full assurance of hope until
the end, that you may not be sluggish, but imitators
of those who through faith and patience inherit the
promises. For when God made the promise to Abraham,
since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by
Himself, saying, "I will surely bless you, and I
will surely multiply you." (NAS)
1 Peter 2:21-25 -- "For you
have been called for this purpose, since Christ also
suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to
follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was
any deceit found in His mouth; and while being
reviled, He did not revile in return; while
suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept
entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the
cross, that we might die to sin and live to
righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
For you were continually straying like sheep, but
now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian
of your souls." (NAS)
1 John 4:14 -- "And we have
beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the
Son to be the Savior of the world." (NAS)
Jude
1:24-25 -- "Now to Him who is able to keep you from
stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of
His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God
our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory,
majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and
now and forever. Amen." (NAS)
