No Weapon Formed!

ISAIAH 54:17 KJV

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

“O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the spoiler to destroy. 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.”

God wants his people to know he cares deeply for them. You maybe in situation that seems like God doesn’t care, but He does. God cares for his people. It may seem like He is far from you but, God cares and doesn’t want you afflicted.

God makes sure you are protected and cared for. He makes sure whatever you need to survive you have it through him. Don’t become distracted by the progress of the enemy and become fooled. God is who He says, He is He builds us to become strong and to be used for His purpose. He makes sure His loved ones are able to survive during their affliction. Whatever it maybe God makes sure you have what you need during that time. You may have endured whatever it maybe. But rest assured you are well taken care of.

The LORD makes sure our loved ones are shielded and protected; during whatever trial we are faced with. He gives our children a peace of mind, and our close family members.

Do what is right and the LORD will take care of the rest. No matter who or what comes up against you God is going to shield you from this, He is there with his army waiting to protect you, no matter what dust the enemy kicks up.

God created the heavens and the earth and no doubt He has control over whatever circumstances that is taking over your life. He promises that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and He means that.

The LORD will not allow weapons formed against His servants to prosper. Sometimes the LORD takes the weapon out of the enemy’s hand.

Then sometimes it means that our God allows the weapon to strike, but brings greater good out of it than the pain of the blow. In allowing this, God does not allow the weapon to prosper, but transforms the violent sword into a trowel for building His Kingdom.

The tongue which rises against you can really hurt. “Satan leaves no stone unturned against the Church of God. He uses not simply the hand; but, what is oftener a sharper weapon, the tongue. We can bear a blow, sometimes, but we cannot endure an insult. There is a great power in the tongue. We can rise from a blow which smote us to the ground; but we cannot so easily recover from slander, that lays the character low.” Yet, we can trust in the LORD’s triumph. “The more accusers, the more acquittals; the more slander, the more honor; so the enemy may slander us as much as he pleases.”

This is not a blanket promise for any churchgoer. The LORD specifically says, this is the heritage of the servants of the LORD. Are you a servant of the LORD? Then you can rest easy in His promised protection. The LORD also says that this is a promise for those whose righteousness is from Me – from the LORD Himself – and not from themselves. When a person understands that their righteousness is really from the LORD, they are much more comfortable in letting the LORD protect their righteousness.
