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.
Have you ever experienced a time when it felt like everywhere you turned, something, someone, or some problem was against you? I bet you have. It is in these moments that we discover the power of Jesus that lives in us. When hell seems to unleash all its fury against you, it is time to stand on the truth.
The truth is, weapons will be formed against us. There is no question about it; the devil will hurl stones and throw spears intended for your harm. Although people are never our enemies, the devil will use them to help him undermine our faith. You will encounter unkind words, slanderous remarks, and statements meant to unravel your emotions. When this happens, you must cling to the only words that truly matter: God’s word.
We know in advance that attacks will come. He has warned us. So do not be swayed or surprised when you face intimidating battles. These fiery trials come to all believers in Jesus Christ. The key is to know the truth: these weapons won’t prosper against us.
Say it with me, “These weapons won’t prosper against me.”
Now say it with force and authority.
You can even fill in the blanks by saying, “this sickness won’t prosper against me,” or “this fear will not prosper against me.” I encourage you to make this real in your life. If you are facing a job crisis, start declaring the truth over it. Do not allow the enemy the satisfaction of triumphing over you in the battle. You have to take up your authority, speak it, and pray it. God has already given you the truth that the weapons will not prosper, so use His truth by declaring it over your life.
Your heritage and legacy in the Lord is not one of defeat but of overcoming. You are covered inside and out with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. You have power and effectiveness built into you because your faith doesn’t rest in your own strength but in God’s mighty power.
Jesus is a stronghold breaker! He tears down the walls the enemy is building in our lives.
Let’s agree in prayer:
Lord, I know that battles will come, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction of causing me to operate in fear. I choose to walk in faith! I believe that You have given me the authority to overcome every weapon the enemy uses. No longer will I be bound by the dread of what may come. I will walk in freedom in the promises of the greater One who lives in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen!
