Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 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.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper. This is a promise directly from God’s word.
We are constantly in battle. We may not always see it, but it’s going on behind the scenes every minute of every day. It’s a battle in the spiritual realm. Darkness wars against light… evil trying to overcome righteousness.
The weapons used against us can vary greatly; words, accusations, temptations, sicknesses, etc. The enemy will use a broad range of things to try to bring us down and defeat us.
But, as children of God, we need to know and understand that, despite the enemy’s efforts, none of these things can defeat us, or “prosper” against us. They won’t separate us from God.
Yes, sometimes the weapons used against us can hurt. They can knock us down. They can push us back for a season. But, in the end, God will bring victory for us and the enemy will ultimately be defeated.
How do we have victory? How do we defeat the enemy when he rails against us?
We stay close to God. We stay in His word. We press in to Him. We rebuke the enemy in the name of Jesus. And we follow His leading. By doing this, we protect ourselves, because He is our shield.
Proverbs 30:5 (NKJV) 5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
So, as we face these attacks, we need to remember that God is our shield. He is our protector and our strong tower. Run to Him.
Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV) 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.
