Probably one of the most-quoted verses in the Bible is in Isaiah 54: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” It is a comforting promise, but there is more, so we should learn to quote the entire verse because it is a powerful promise.
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. Isaiah 54:17
Some may say that it is a promise to Israel, but if you read to the end, you can see that it is a promise to the servants of the LORD, and we are the LORD’s servants through Jesus, and if you read the entire chapter, you can see that the Gentiles are part of this promise.
For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Isaiah 54:3
Don’t miss this: it doesn’t say that we won’t have enemies, or that weapons won’t be formed, but it does say that they won’t prosper. We can be confident that when the forces of evil come against us and the enemy and his cronies inundate us, they won’t win. Repent of any unrighteousness and quote Isaiah 54:17 to rebuke the enemy, then keep your focus on Jesus and keep moving forward, and let nothing stop you from receiving your inheritance.
