“The Weapon Has Formed But It Will Not Prosper”

Isaiah 54:15-17

Prosper is defined as to thrive; flourish; succeed; advance; multiple; progress.

God will protect us from our adversaries both in camps and courts. the prophet Isaiah delivers a message from God about the restoration of Jerusalem after its destruction by the Babylonians. The people would be in chaos and confusion, but the Lord promises a future day when the city will be more glorious than ever. God’s people will return to their land and live there without fear of further devastation. In saying that “no weapon formed against you shall prosper,” God promises the people of Jerusalem that no enemy will be able to produce successful weapons against them. God is in charge. He created the one who creates the weapons, and He will see to it that whatever weapons are wielded by Israel’s enemies would be ineffective against them. This promise will see its ultimate fulfillment in the millennial kingdom of Christ. The promise to Israel is often applied to God’s children today, as we deal with spiritual enemies. No matter what the devil devises to throw at us, in the end it will fail because God is the sovereign ruler of our destiny. He gives us the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 

I come by this morning to let you know God is our salvation. Even when bad things happen to us, when we feel defeated and crushed by our enemies, we can trust and not be afraid. God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths; even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence. No weapon formed against us shall prosper not now or ever. Our God is almighty and He is faithful to His word. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
