Isaiah 54:17 No Weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper

^{Isaiah 54:17} 

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.

I was watching Rod Parsley on the Daystar network, and he was preaching about this scripture. To be honest, I hadn't thought of this scripture for a long time, even though I read my Bible everyday. A few days later, I was reading Perry Stone's new book, Purging Your House, Pruning Your Family Tree: How to rid your home and family of demonic influence and generational oppression, and the same scripture was there again.

I think that sometimes the Lord speaks to us in different ways. I think The Holy Spirit was directing me to read this scripture and claim it's promise for the circumstances that has been going on in my day to day life. Perry Stone told a story about a Mayor and his wife who were being attacked and ridiculed by constituents, and the Mayor's re-election was in jeopardy. The wife wrote that scripture down on little notes to him at various places to get her husband to believe that scripture and to get it into his spirit. They won the battle, he won re-election, and some lies that had been told on him were debunked. Praise God!

I have been quoting this scripture for the past three days, and have noticed some differences happening to me. I have noticed that some of my thought patterns about people are changing, and that situations in my life are also changing. I also told a friend of mine about this scripture, and also some family members. My mother has asked me four times where it is in the Bible, and each time, I tell her again. I am going to write it down for her.

When you stand on the promises of God, the Devil has to back down. I have been battling a sickness, with a fever and a sore throat, and have been getting better, I believe, due to this scripture. That is what we have to do, use God's promises and His Word to defeat the devil in our lives. I challenge you today to begin to meditate and use this scripture every day, and see what happens in your life!
