No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper

In an antique shop, I read these words from Isaiah 54:17 printed on a collectible:

No weapon that has been made to be used against you will succeed. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you. This is the inheritance of the Lord’s servants. Their victory comes from me,” declares the Lord. (GWT)

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. (KJV)

The visual that comes to mind is The Shepherd Boy David lifting the Philistine sword to behead The Champion Giant Goliath. Yes, even though the enemy's sword had been formed to fell God's people, the reverse actually happened.

How inspiring is that? Think about it! The weapons the enemy is making to mess up our lives, will actually in the end be turned on him instead.

Hallelujah!

Grateful (The battle belongs to the Lord!)

Great Conflicts with the Tempter

Mrs. Charles Cowman writes these words in her classic devotional book, Streams in the Desert: If a man has much of the Spirit of God, he will have great conflicts with the tempter.

 

I once heard another saintly lady say, if you run into the enemy, you must be going in the right direction.

So, let us be encouraged in the spiritual battles we must endure, remembering always that "The battle belongs to the Lord."

Holiness Unto the LORD!
