No weapon

Isa 54:17
'But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed.' (NLT)


Let's look at one of the most dynamic promises given to us "warriors of Christ" in the Bible; Isaiah 54:17. I think we should really use this verse all the time for our well being.  It's more than a verse in the Bible, it's also an assurance - no weapon that can be formed against us will prosper.
It doesn't say that there won't be any weapons formed against us, as a matter of fact, Isaiah is saying that most assuredly there will be things formed against us with the intention to do us harm. This verse doesn't say that our enemies won't forge or form a weapon that can be used against us to cause us hurt; they most assuredly will be formed and put in motion by satan to harm us.  We can be sure that at times we will experience attacks in our life. They will show up, they may even startle us for a time, quite possibly a weapon, or as Ephesions calls them, 'fiery darts' may knock us off our feet or they may have a degree of success during their duration till we figure out we are under attack and neutralize it.
This verse also tells us that we have an enemy.  As if life isn't tough enough already, there are bullies out there trying to make our lives difficult. Only an enemy forms devices that he can use to do us harm.
I do want to remind each of my bloggers that for every weapon formed against us, Jesus Christ gives us the antidote for that weapon. 2Cor 10:3 reminds us that, 'We are human, but we don't wage war with human plans and methods [guns, knives, fingernails, etc]. 4 We use God's mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons to knock down the Devil's strongholds.
   The Old Testament puts it nicely also...Gen 50 :20 says, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good."  It's time to stand in faith on the Word.  When your situation comes, and it surely will if it hasn't already, remind yourself that God will bring you through.
