From The Pastor's Pen - 5/21/12 - No Weapon Formed Against Thee


"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" (Isaiah 54:17 AKJ).

The above verse is a rhema word from the mouth of the God, Himself, directly to the prophet, Isaiah. As such, it is easily identified by the phrase, "...saith the Lord." And, although every word from the preserved Holy Scriptures is inspired by the Holy Ghost, this particular promise from the 54th chapters of the book of Isaiah, carries with it a singularly powerful relevance in our time.

The good news is that, when God sends the true remnant believer into the supernatural arena, the entire scope of the battle suddenly becomes His. And once we fully understand that Truth and Kingdom principle, and allow it to operate, we can confidently go forth against any and all odds or enemies. This is not to say, however, that our mission or path will be easy, but, rather, that we can be assured of a positive and victorious outcome.

In fact, the examples of Moses, David, Gideon, and, later, the Acts of the Apostles, and the sending of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost, are recorded to further remind us that no weapon, no circumstance, no difficulty, however large or seemingly impossible, along the path shall prosper. Knowing that, we, as serious believers, are charged to inflict swift condemnation against any and all within, or without, the church who, through word or deed, seek to hinder the agenda which the Father has set before us.

In closing, the example given throughout the ministry of Messiah Jesus, made clear that we are endued with unlimited power from on high to carry out God's sovereign agenda in every corner and crevice of the created world in which we live. In times past that truth was clearly understood by the heads of families and the historical church, as well as the founders of our nation. Every serious believer should be aware that we are stewards of, not only our families and church, but the civil government, as well. Let us therefore conduct our business in every earthly sphere as representatives of the Most High God, and to Him be the glory!

Consider these words of Jesus...

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you" (Luke 10:19).
