Victory Verses
When tempted claim these victory verses, resist the devil and pray,
depending solely on Jesus' power.
Avoid Disqualification
1 Cor 9:24-27 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one
gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes
in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not
last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not
run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27
No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others,
I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. NIV
Be Sanctified
1 Thess 4:3-5 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should

who do not know God NIV

Bible

James 1:22-25 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do
what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is
like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself,
goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the man who looks
intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not
forgetting what he has heard, but doing it-he will be blessed in what he does.
