Good and Evil -
Rev.12 [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Gen.3 [
5] For God doth know that in
the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.
[22] And the
LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil: and now, lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Rom.6
[4]... we also should
walk in "newness of life" ( in God )
[5
] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man
is crucified with him, that the body of sin might
be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[11] Likewise
reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
[12
] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
should obey it in the lusts thereof.
[13] Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God,
as those that are alive from the dead, and
your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
[14] For sin
shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.[
15] What then? shall we sin,
because we are not under the "law", but under
grace? God forbid.
What law is this?
Heb.7 [
11] If
therefore perfection were by the "Levitical priesthood"
, (for under it the people received
the "law",) what further need was there that
another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called
after the order of Aaron?[12
] For the priesthood being changed, there
is made of necessity a change also of the law.
What law is this?
Heb.9:[11
] But Christ being come an high priest of good things
to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that
is to say, not of this building;
Rom.6
[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto
death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
[19] I speak
after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:
for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness
and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness
unto holiness.
Rom.7
[14] For we
know that the law is spiritual:
but I am carnal, sold under sin.
"many laws"
( 1
) a law warring
against the
( 2 ) law of my
mind,
bringing me into captivity to the
( 3 ) law of sin
( 4 ) I delight
in the law of God
[21] I find then a "law", that, when I would do
good, evil is present with me.
[22] For I delight in the law
of God after the inward man:
[23] But I see
another law in my members,
warring against the law
of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the
law of sin which is in my members.
[24] O wretched
man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom.8
[1] There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
"more laws"
[2
] For the "law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus" hath made me free from the "law of sin and death".
What law is this?
Heb.7[
23] And they truly were many
priests, because they were not suffered to continue by
reason of death:
( weak through the flesh, men die )
[24] But this man, because He, Yeshua continueth
ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.[
25] Wherefore He is able also to save
them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make
intercession for them.[26] For
such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from
sinners, and made higher than the heavens;[27] Who needeth
not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own
sins, and then for the people's:
for this He, Yeshua did once, when He offered
up Himself.
Rom.8
[13] For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall
die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live.
[14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God.

We are at War
Eph.2[
2] Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the spirit
that now worketh in
the children of disobedience:
Eph.6[
10] Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Dan.7[
21] I beheld, and the same horn
made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them;
Rev.13[
7] And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues,
and nations.
Rev.12 [
17] And
the dragon was wroth with the woman, and
went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which
keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
2Cor.11 [
13] For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
into the apostles of Christ.[
14] And no marvel; for Satan
himself is transformed into an angel of light.[15] Therefore it is no great
thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.
Judg.9 [
23] Then God sent an
evil spirit between Abimelech and
the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
1Sam.16 [
14] But the Spirit of the LORD
departed from Saul, and an evil spirit
from the LORD troubled him. [15
] And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an
evil spirit from God troubleth
thee. [16] Let our lord now
command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning
player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the
evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall
play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
[23] And it
came to pass, when the evil spirit
from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with
his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the
evil spirit departed from him.
1Sam.18 [
10] And it came to pass on the
morrow, that the evil spirit
from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the
house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin
in Saul's hand.
1Sam.19 [
9] And the
evil spirit from the LORD was upon
Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played
with his hand.
Luke.7 [
21] And in that same hour he
cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of
evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave
sight.
Luke.8 [
2] And certain women, which
had been healed of evil spirits
and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom
went seven devils,
Acts.19 [
12] So that from his body were
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from
them, and the evil spirits went
out of them. [13] Then certain
of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had
evil spirits the name of the
Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
[15] And the
evil spirit answered and said,
Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? [16
] And the man in whom the evil
spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed
against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Pss.78[
49] He cast upon them the fierceness
of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending
evil angels among them.

Yetzer HaTov ( Good Inclination )
Neh.9 [
20] Thou gavest also thy
good spirit to instruct them,
and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their
thirst.
Pss.51 [
11] Cast me not away from thy
presence; and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
Isa.63 [
10] But they rebelled, and vexed
his holy Spirit: therefore he
was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. [
11] Then he remembered the days of
old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of
the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his
holy Spirit within him?
Luke.11[
13] If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit
to them that ask him?
Eph.1 [
13] In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom
also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that
holy Spirit of promise,
Eph.4 [
30] And grieve not the
holy Spirit of God, whereby
ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
1Thes.4 [
8] He therefore that despiseth,
despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his
holy Spirit.
90 times Holy Ghost
Matt.1[
18] Now the birth of Jesus Christ
was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they
came together, she was found with child of the Holy
Ghost.
[20] But while
he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him
in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary
thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the
Holy Ghost.
Matt.3 [
11] I indeed baptize you with
water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose
shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the
Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Matt.12 [
31] Wherefore I say unto you,
All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost shall
not be forgiven unto men.
[32] And whosoever
speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever
speaketh against the Holy Ghost
, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither
in the world to come.
Matt.28[
19] Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost:
Mark.1[
8] I indeed have baptized you
with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost
.
Mark.3 [
29] But he that shall blaspheme
against the Holy Ghost hath
never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Mark.12 [
36] For David himself said by
the Holy Ghost, The Lord said
to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Mark.13[
11] But when they shall lead
you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither
do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak
ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost
.
Luke.1[
15] For he shall be great in
the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he
shall be filled with the Holy Ghost
, even from his mother's womb.
[35] And the
angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.
[41] And it
came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped
in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy
Ghost:
[67] And his
father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost
, and prophesied, saying,
Luke.2 [
25] And, behold, there was a
man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy
Ghost was upon him.
[26] And it
was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost
, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's
Christ.
Luke.3 [
16] John answered, saying unto
them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh,
the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you
with the Holy Ghost and with
fire:
[22] And the
Holy Ghost descended in a bodily
shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou
art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Luke.4[
1] And Jesus being full of the
Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Luke.12 [
10] And whosoever shall speak
a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that
blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost
it shall not be forgiven.
[12] For the
Holy Ghost shall teach you
in the same hour what ye ought to say.
John.1 [
33] And I knew him not: but
he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou
shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which
baptizeth with the Holy Ghost
.
John.7[
39] (But this spake he of the
Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the
Holy Ghost was not yet given; because
that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John.14[
26] But the Comforter, which
is the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John.20[
22] And when he had said this,
he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the
Holy Ghost:
Acts.1 [
2] Until the day in which he
was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost
had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had
chosen:
[5] For John
truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost not many days hence.
[8] But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
[16] Men and
brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the
Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake
before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
Acts.2[
4] And they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and began
to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[33] Therefore
being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the
promise of the Holy Ghost, he
hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
[38] Then Peter
said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.
Acts.4 [
8] Then Peter, filled with the
Holy Ghost, said unto them,
Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
[31] And when
they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Acts.5 [
3] But Peter said, Ananias,
why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy
Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
[32] And we
are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the
Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey
him.
Acts.6 [
3] Wherefore, brethren, look
ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the
Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business.
[5] And the
saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith
and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip,
and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte
of Antioch:
Acts.7[
51] Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised
in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost
: as your fathers did, so do ye.
[55] But he,
being full of the Holy Ghost
, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God,
and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Acts.8 [
15] Who, when they were come
down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy
Ghost:
[17] Then laid
they their hands on them, and they received the Holy
Ghost.
[18] And when
Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the
Holy Ghost was given, he offered them
money,
[19] Saying,
Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the
Holy Ghost.
Acts.9 [
17] And Ananias went his way,
and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul,
the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the
Holy Ghost.
[31] Then had
the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified;
and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the
Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Acts.10 [
38] How God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
[44] While Peter
yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost
fell on all them which heard the word.
[45] And they
of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the
Holy Ghost.
[47] Can any
man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the
Holy Ghost as well as we?
Acts.11[
15] And as I began to speak,
the Holy Ghost fell on them,
as on us at the beginning.
[16] Then remembered
I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost
.
[24] For he
was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost
and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Acts.13 [
2] As they ministered to the
Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost
said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I
have called them.
[4] So they,
being sent forth by the Holy Ghost
, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
[9] Then Saul,
(who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost
, set his eyes on him,
[52] And the
disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost
.
Acts.15[
8] And God, which knoweth the
hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost
, even as he did unto us;
[28] For it
seemed good to the Holy Ghost
, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary
things;
Acts.16 [
6] Now when they had gone throughout
Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the
Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
Acts.19[
2] He said unto them, Have ye
received the Holy Ghost since
ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there
be any Holy Ghost.
[6] And when
Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost
came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts.20[
23] Save that the
Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
[28] Take heed
therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the
Holy Ghost hath made you overseers,
to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Acts.21[
11] And when he was come unto
us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus
saith the Holy Ghost, So shall
the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver
him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Acts.28 [
25] And when they agreed not
among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well
spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias
the prophet unto our fathers,
Rom.5 [
5] And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Rom.9 [
1] I say the truth in Christ,
I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the
Holy Ghost,
Rom.14[
17] For the kingdom of God is
not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost.
Rom.15 [
13] Now the God of hope fill
you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through
the power of the Holy Ghost.
[16] That I
should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel
of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified
by the Holy Ghost.
1Cor.2 [
13] Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the
Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual
things with spiritual.
1Cor.6[
19] What? know ye not that your
body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Cor.12 [
3] Wherefore I give you to understand,
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that
no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost.
2Cor.6[
6] By pureness, by knowledge,
by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost
, by love unfeigned,
2Cor.13[
14] The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the
Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
1Thes.1 [
5] For our gospel came not unto
you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy
Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner
of men we were among you for your sake.
[6] And ye became
followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction,
with joy of the Holy Ghost:
2Tim.1 [
14] That good thing which was
committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.
Tit.3 [
5] Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing
of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost
;
Heb.2[
4] God also bearing them witness,
both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the
Holy Ghost, according to his
own will?
Heb.3[
7] Wherefore (as the
Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will
hear his voice,
Heb.6 [
4] For it is impossible for
those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and
were made partakers of the Holy Ghost
,
Heb.9[
8] The
Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the
holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was
yet standing:
Heb.10[
15] Whereof the
Holy Ghost also is a witness to us:
for after that he had said before,
1Pet.1 [
12] Unto whom it was revealed,
that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are
now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the
Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;
which things the angels desire to look into.
2Pet.1 [
21] For the prophecy came not
in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved
by the Holy Ghost.
1John.5[
7] For there are three that
bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Jude.1 [
20] But ye, beloved, building
up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the
Holy Ghost,
Shalom -
Gen.2[9] And out of the ground made
the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and
good for food; the tree of life also
in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge
of good and evil.
[12] Neither by the blood of
goats and calves, but by His own blood He
entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us.
[13] For if the blood of bulls
and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth
to the purifying of the flesh:
[14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God?
[15]
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of
death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
[15] For that which I do I allow
not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
[16] If then I do that which
I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
[17] Now then it is no more
I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
[18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth
no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how to perform that which is good I find not.
[19] For the good that I would
I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
[20] Now if I do that I would
not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
[25] I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve
the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
[3]
For what the "law" could not do, in that it
was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
[4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.[6]
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace.[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please
God.
[9]
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of
God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none
of his.
[11] Put on the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
[13]
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand.
[14] Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15] And your feet shod with
the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16] Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked.
[17] And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18] Praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints;
