“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” [Ephesians 6:10-11]

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” [I Thessalonians 5:23]

“A man cannot sin until first he casts aside God's Word. He can't even sin (that's disbelieve) until first he gets rid of the Word of God, the Presence of God; he cannot sin. Eve could not sin, until she laid aside God's Word, opening up her channel of reasons to her soul and begin to reason. See? There was the first battle. And through that battle has caused every other war and every bloodshed that ever come was caused right there at Eden. She disbelieved God's Word.” And if one little iota of God's Word was disbelieve, caused all this trouble, how we going to get back, disbelieving the Word? You can't do it. You got to shut off all these other things, conscience, memories and reasonings, and all these other things, "casting down reasonings." We don't reason about it at all, nothing at all. We just accept the Word upon the basis, "God said so"; and it sets a stream between you and God. Every channel comes open between you and God then. There's the battle, the very first front line.” [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (Be strong in the power of His might.) Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,... (shooting bullets and cutting with knives... See, that's not it.)... but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of... darkness of this world,... (the rulers of darkness)...” [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“Satan's army brings diseases, and God's army is commissioned to cast them out. Amen. There you are. Every time Satan throws anything onto you, God's army is to cast him out. Amen. Cast out, that's the very tactic that God used. Satan used the army of destruction to disbelieve God's Word, and set him up a better kingdom than Michael had, and God cast him out. God's method is cast out the evil, cast down reasoning, cast down superstitions, cast down weary, cast down diseases, cast down sin. Amen. You're above it, resurrected in Christ Jesus setting in heavenly places with every devil under your foot.” [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“That's how the Chief Captain said it was done. How is it done, sister? It's written: "If you lay hands on the sick they shall recover." It's written: "In My Name they shall cast out devils." Amen. What is it? It's written. That's the Captain's orders. It is written: "Whosoever heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Eternal Life." It's written; it's written; it's written; that's the--that's the orders; that's the soldier; that's the way; that's the artillery we move up.” [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“Oh, my. What did He do? He defeated him with the Word of God. The tactic of the devil is to get you to disbelieve God's Word, and the Chief Captain said take God's Word and do it. "In My Name they shall cast out devils." [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“‘See his attack? Watch. His attack is what? Disbelieve God's Word; that's his attack. There, can you see the greatest battle that's ever fought? There's only two forces: Satan and God. And what's Satan's weapon against you? Is to try to get you to disbelieve your Weapon. He disarms you. If he can get you to disbelieve, your Weapon is equivalent; if he gets you to believe that your Weapon is not strong enough, he's disarmed you. He disarms you, when he gets you to disbelieve that Weapon. When you lay That down, that finishes your fight; you're done. Hold that Weapon; don't you lay It down.” The Greatest Battle Ever Fought,  Jefferson, IN, 62-0311]

God don't have little weak parts and big strong parts; He's altogether God! And if you had enough of God in you, till It was just barely a shadow, that's enough power to make a new earth. That's enough power to make a new moon and a new system. It's God, and it's strong. And right now in every believer in here has Life Eternal, which is God's Spirit in you; enough power that'll raise up the dead, that'll heal the sick, that'll set orbits in conditions. But you're... It's controlled by a law, that Spirit that's in you. You are sons and daughters of God. That same Spirit that you've got in you, will raise yourself up at the day of the resurrection. [The Ever Present Water From The Rock, Jeffersonville IN, 61-0723M]

Just take the Word of God and cut your way through every doubt. You see it? Sure, that's it. If that's the next job, let's get it done. Right. Best thing I know to do is get away from my doubts, cut it down. That's my next job is get all my flusterations away. If my senses tell me, "Well, you feel bad," the next thing do is cut that thing away. That's right. You say, "Well, you--they tell me that uh... You know, my conscience tell me, Brother Branham, that I can..." Well look, you might as well cut that thing away; you ain't going to get no farther than that. Just get your next job done. Take off your coat and barrel right into it. Just keep on going. One objective: "I'm going to win." Amen. "I can't lose. I'm going to win." Amen.” [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“ "Come out from amongst your people, Abraham, the thing of it is they're doubters and unbelievers, and they'll have you in the same fix. Come on out and separate yourself and live for Me." What is it? "Leave all your conscience, and senses, and--behind you like that; open up your mind, and remember It's Me. Come live with Me." Amen. God's calling every seed of Abraham this morning to that same kind of a life. Great battle is on now worldwide. God wants his children separating themselves from what? See, taste, feel, smell, hear, imaginations, conscience, memories, reason, affections, everything. Open up their mind and let the Word come in and march with the Word. That's a real soldier.” [The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, 62-0311]

“"Though I stand at the heart and knock, if any man would hear My voice and open, I'll come in." Will you let Him in? Open and make Him your Lord over your entire being. "Take my selfishness, Lord; be Lord there. Take my indifference; be Lord there. Take my jealousy; be Lord there. Take my pride; be Lord there. Take my faith; be Lord there. Take my eyes; be Lord there. Take my hands; be Lord there. Take my ears; be Lord there. Take my feet; be Lord there. Be the Lord of my being, of my soul, body, and spirit. Lead me and guide me, oh, Lord, and open my eyes that I might see." ” [The Door Of The Door, Newark NJ, 57-1212]
