The word of God’s is our weapon of war.
When a soldier is given a rifle, they are taught to assemble and disassemble it. The do this so often that they know everything about the rifle. The weight, the feel, how it acts. They have memorized their rifle so they could assemble and disassemble it in their sleep.
If the military does this with their weapons we can do no less with the word of God. We need to know it inside and out. We need to have it readily accessible at all times so we can call on it when needed.
Here are 12 verses that should be memorized so you can instantly call on them in times of need.
