A Powerhouse of Protection
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tonguethat shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This isthe heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness isof me, saith the Lord."(Isaiah 54:17)

No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Isn't that great news!Isn't it good to know that no sickness, no circumstance, no problemthat rises against you can successfully bring you down?

Some years ago, one of our friends was facing a lawsuit. He and Iprayed together according to this scripture and agreed it was thefinal word in the situation, not the allegations against him. We stoodin faith, believing that lawsuit had to fail.

Sure enough, when my friend went to court, they just couldn't beathim. He didn't win that case because of his keen and witty lawyers. Hewon because he was innocent and because he had believed that powerfulpromise of God.

Follow his example. When the devil attacks you in some area of yourlife, don't sit around crying and begging God to save you. Open upyour Bible to Isaiah 54:17 instead. Remind yourself of what God haspromised you. Use that promise to strengthen you against sin and everyother evil work the devil would like to use to keep you bound.

Then establish yourself on it through prayer. Say, "Lord, I refuse tobe afraid of this weapon the devil has brought against me because Iknow that according to Your Word, it cannot prosper. I trust You toprotect me, and I thank You for it now. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

"Don't let the powerhouse of God's protection go to waste. Put it towork in your life. It is your rightful heritage as a servant of theLord.
