For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. —2 TIMOTHY 1:7
NOT TIMID BUT POWER, LOVE, SELF-DISCIPLINE
The thief (devil) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. —JOHN 10:10
THIEF: STEALS, KILLS, DESTROYS!!!
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. —EPHESIANS 6:10-17
POWER OF GOD: TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, FAITH, SALVATION, WORD OF GOD
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments/imaginations and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. —2 COR. 10:3-6
POWER OF GOD
TRUTH; RIGHTEOUSNESS; PEACE;

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. —PROVERBS 3:5-6
