No Weapon Formed
Isaiah 54:17 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. (KJV)
No weapon formed against you will prosper;
why is that? Well, because the Lord saw it coming and made a way of
protection and escape for His people. But how would one know this unless
they take the time to make the Lord a priority in their life, and hear His
message of escape from this present evil world. You know, the Lord planned
your life, not only yours, but He made a way of escape for all mankind; now
it is just a matter of how many will seek Him and receive all that is
afforded to those in Christ. Have you accepted His plan of salvation today;
do you know you are standing strong in the Lord and the power of His might,
or have you been blindsided by the enemy with a weapon you should have seen
coming?
Ephesians 6:14-16 Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel
of peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (KJV)
Please take note of the fact that the
Lord said no weapon, not just a few, but all of them. Then as we see once
again, the Lord is reminding us that His shield of faith will quench all,
not just some, of the fiery darts of the wicked one. The Lord is prepared,
and went ahead of us to prepare a place for us in His body of believers in
Christ; the question is are you prepared, having taken the time to hear His
gospel of peace which eliminates all doubt and fear? If you notice it says
this shield ‘is able’, but only if you know how it works. So, if you have
taken some direct hits then obviously you were not prepared for something
our Lord saw ahead of time, and was willing to show you how to avoid it.
Ephesians 3:17-20 That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) May
be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height; (19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (20) Now unto him that
is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us, (KJV)
You know people, there is quite a power
source available to you the believer; in fact, it is a power that can do
above and beyond anything you could have ever thought about, as long as you
are in agreement to what is working within you. Those things in the past
that you thought were impossible and unachievable, well they are now there
for the taking, because you have now tapped into an unlimited source of
strength and wisdom, that being Christ. When you are rooted and grounded in
love, staying seated in the heavenly realm, you are able to hear the
message of love and deliverance by God, and know for yourself that there is
no weapon the enemy would try to form against you that is going to keep you
from accessing the love of God which is in Christ.
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from
the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) As it is written, For thy
sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter. (37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us. (38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come, (39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord. (KJV)
If you notice in verse 35 it uses the
term ‘who’ not what, shall try to separate us from the love of God which is
in Christ, located in the heavenly realm. Many times the enemy will try to
put a face (that being those in the carnal realm) to a situation and try to
get us entangled and caught up in the affairs of this life, wrestling with
flesh and blood. However, for those that truly know who they are in Christ
and what they have access to through His name, they know that nothing or no
one will come between them, and separate them from their first love.
Basically what we are seeing again is that no weapon the enemy may try to
form against you, no plan that he may try to formulate as well, will prosper
as long as you have taken to time to hear our Lord’s message of faith and
deliverance from this present evil world.
Williams New Testament translation
of Ephesians 6:10-13
10. From now on you must grow stronger
through union with the Lord and through His mighty power. 11. You must put
on God's full armor, so as to be able to stand up against the devil's
stratagems. 12. For our contest is not with human foes alone, but with the
rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark world; that is, with
the spirit-forces of evil challenging us in the heavenly contest. 13. So
you must take on God's full armor, so as to be able to take a stand in the
day when evil attacks you, and, after having completely finished the
contest, to hold your own.
You know, there is lot going on in the
heavenly realm, especially as you get closer to the Lord and see all that
you have been blessed with. God’s full armor is complete; it covers His
people totally, so that they can be complete in Him. You have access to the
whole armor of God, take it and put it on, so that no weapon formed against
you will prosper.
