Dear Insiders,
I absolutely love this reminder...
We are in a spiritual battle and we must armor up each and every day.
We are reminded here that no weapon formed against us will prosper!!! So what do these words actually mean and how can you use this today in whatever battle you are facing!!!
Isaiah 54:17
You have probably either heard or even quoted this scripture (at least the first part of it), but there is so much more than protection against attacks.
‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper’ – This is not a promise that you will not receive attacks, or that you will not be struck by a weapon (i.e. test, trial, tribulation, suffering of any kind), but as we know we are born to the trouble (Job 5:7). The promise is that it will NOT PROSPER. Meaning that you will be able to rely on God’s hand to lift you up out of the trouble that you are in, or He will cause the trouble to turn around for good (Rom 8:28).
‘And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn’ – Now doesn’t that just sound great? You will be able to rail against those that have caused you problems in the past. All of those that have slandered, or caused grief and sorrow by what they have said, you will be able to turn the tables on them, and condemn them. But notice the words ‘in judgment’, meaning at the end times when we ALL have our mistakes aired, so make sure that there is no beam in your own eye (Matt 7:1-5). Forgiveness is always the best policy.
Next time you hear this scripture, pause… and remember the rest to obtain the best.
'Word for the Day - 'battle'
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord. - Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV)
You have probably either heard or even quoted this scripture (at least the first part of it), but there is so much more than protection against attacks.
'No weapon formed against you shall prosper' - This is not a promise that you will not receive attacks, or that you will not be struck by a weapon (i.e. test, trial, tribulation, suffering of any kind), but as we know we are born to the trouble (Job 5:7). The promise is that it will NOT PROSPER. Meaning that you will be able to rely on God's hand to lift you up out of the trouble that you are in, or He will cause the trouble to turn around for good (Rom 8:28).
'And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn' - Now doesn't that just sound great? You will be able to rail against those that have caused you problems in the past. All of those that have slandered, or caused grief and sorrow by what they have said, you will be able to turn the tables on them, and condemn them. But notice the words 'in judgment', meaning at the end times when we ALL have our mistakes aired, so make sure that there is no beam in your own eye (Matt 7:1-5). Forgiveness is always the best policy.
'And their righteousness is from Me' - Another acknowledgement of our lack of ability to obtain righteousness for ourselves (if we could, then we do not need Jesus). We rejoice in that we receive this righteousness, as what other creature (natural, or spiritual) can say, 'I have received my righteousness from God Himself'... Again, even the angels which were thrown out of heaven (Jude 1:6) cannot say that. For we are unique in all of God's creation as He created us in His image and likeness.
Next time you hear this scripture, pause... and remember the rest to obtain the best.'
It is so easy to feel defeated when we aren't walking in the spirit and we don't armor up. Put on the armor of God this morning and go out the door to the battle that awaits knowing the victory that has already been won!
Now can I get an AMEN!!!!
What battle are you facing and how can we pray for you???
please share!!!
