19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luke 10:19 - I give you the authority
Luke 10:9 - The Kingdom of God has come close to you
8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set
before you. 9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has
come near to you.’

1 Cor 13 - Love never fails
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
John 8:31-32 - And you know the truth
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
The truth is the truth of the Word of God. But we have to know the truth. Only the truth you know will set you free.

Mat 16:18 - I will build my Church
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
“You are Peter” = Gr. Petros, masculine = A huge stone
“on this rock (Petra), feminine” = A massive rock, eg. mountain range.
The church must be build on living stones. The Church is built on people who confess that Christ is the Messiah.
See also
1 Peter 2:4-5
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
It is one thing to receive the Lord but another to commit yourself to Him. Because we have passed from death to life, we are fit to be living stones in the Church.

Psalm 3:3 - You, O Lord, are a shield for me
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the LORD with my voice,
And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
5 I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around.
Psalm 1:1 - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
