Victory Comes From the Lord

UV 3599/10000. Victory Comes From the Lord No weapon that is formed against you will succeed: And every tongue that rises against you in judgement you will condemn. This (peace, righteousness, security and triumph over opposition) is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord. Isaiah 54 v 17 The uni-verse assures us of blanket protection from all weapons- physical, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, relational, professional – aimed against us. Even as the weapon is being forged or formed, the Lord will neutralize its power or ability to harm us. The human tongue itself being a powerful weapon is included in this arsenal that is to be nullified. We can in faith nullify every word spoken against us unjustly, untruly, uncharitably. We can judge and sentence any negative word spoken against us. We can anul curses and threats. We should not be intimidated by any of these weapons or be fearful of the harm it can cause us. The stone that they plan to roll against us will roll back on them. Instead, our inheritance, our rights as children of God is to enjoy peace, the fruits of righteous living, the absolute sense of security that comes from our confidence in the Lord and this promise in His word. It is our just wages as servants of God. The words we speak in faith can counter any of these forces or threats effectively. The enemy will keep stirring up some force against us but we should use our authority to bind, cast down such elements. Scripture promises that the battle is the Lord’s, the defensive weapons are also the Lord’s. We should bind the truth of His word tightly around us to hold the whole armour of God in place with no element loose or out of place. Our vindication is from the Lord and not in the forces and powers of this world. We should not therefore trust in our physical prowess, weapons, strength, abilities, connections or wisdom. We do not trust in horses or chariots but our victory is truly in the Lord. Even as the Egyptian army pursuing the Israelite slaves as they crossed the Red Sea were routed using the very water that was parted to give way to Moses and Israel to pass through, the Lord will do great wonders on our behalf. Sometimes, He allows and uses these circumstances and opportunities to manifest His power and glory.
