No Weapon Shall Prosper

No Weapon Shall Prosper

December 8, 2011 [12.8.11] - 9:28 AM

What seems to now be loss is truly gain.  That which the enemy intended for evil, I shall turn around for your sake, but for My glory.  The accuser of the brethren says:

 “They praise You when all is well, when Your hedge of protection surrounds them and Your favor is evident.  Take it away and see if they will not curse you.  Take it from them and see if they will doubt Your love and intervention in their life.”

Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. [Job 1: 10-12]

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. [Is 59:19]

Trust Me in all that concerns you, despite outward appearances.  Do not listen to the voice of naysayers, (voices for the enemy), who plant seeds of doubt to lead you into unbelief.  Do not heed the voices of those who call you ‘brother/sister’, yet whose advice sounds much like the advice of Job’s three friends.

How often have you considered the depth of your trust in Me?  I say, Child, either trust Me in everything or trust Me in nothing.  

Have you not been taught, and do you remember to give thanks in all things?  As you give thanks in the midst of circumstances that have suddenly come against you, know that I am listening.

Yea, I have built this house; yea, I keep the city; yea, I watch over all that concerns you.  Fear not.  Doubt not.  Gird up and be strong in faith.

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. [Ps 127:1]

You have learned to enter into My gates with thanksgiving and into My courts with praise.  Indeed, how easy it is to enter in, in times of peace, yet in times of war (spiritual), the real test comes and your faith is tried.  How sure is your trust in Me?

When all around seems lost, do you search your soul to see where you erred, or do you trust Me, despite all outward appearances.  Yea, can I not rebuild the waste places?  Is My hand unable to restore the ruins, the places of desolation?

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. [Ps 100:4]

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. [1Thes 5:18]

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy [1Pet 4: 12, 13]

Think upon Joseph.  He suffered jealousy, hatred, betrayal, slavery, false accusation and imprisonment.  In today’s society, many who would watch this ‘Joseph’s’ life, would be the first to sound as Job’s friends. 

Many would whisper, ‘If he/she put the secret sin(s) out of their life, then God would move in their lives.’

Many cannot see past the circumstances, and many more see circumstances as judgments from Me.  Not all that happens pertains to judgment from Me, but rather it is oftentimes a work of the enemy.  

Yea, I AM Sovereign.  Nothing escapes Me.

Fear not, nor be discouraged.  My love has not stopped, nor have I withdrawn My hand from you.  Give thanks.  Be still and simply trust Me.

For we know that all things work together for good, to those who trust God and are the called, according to His purpose [Rom 8:28]

Be still, and know that I AM God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. [Ps 46:10]

With all that is coming upon the nations of the earth, many will not be able to stand.  I AM preparing My people.  Give thanks for the preparation and know that I AM with you.

Remember and stand upon this word…

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand [Eph 6:13]

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that rise up against thee in judgment, thou shall condemn.  This is the heritage of My servants and their righteousness is of Me, saith the Lord.  [Is 54:17]

So it is written; so it is true.

Selah

For His glory
