Your Safety Your Words and the Righteousness of God

Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue that rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the Lord, And their righteousness is form Me, “says the Lord.

Isaiah 54:17 (NLT) But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!

God is on your side and your life is unstoppable. In Romans 8:31, the Bible says, “What shall we than sway to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” You are dead and your life is hidden with Christ in God, Col. 3:3. In this position in God, there is no weapon fashioned or designed against you that will prosper. Numbers 23:23 (GNB) says, “There is no magic harm, no witchcraft that can be used against the nation of Israel. Now people will say about Israel, ‘Look what God has done!” Beloved of God, even if it appears that the weapon is prospering, it is a lying vanity. Don’t allow it to deceive you. It will work together for your good, Rom. 8:28.

You must realize that when it come to your life, your tongue is more powerful than every other tongue or voice. Even after God provided for your salvation, He could not impose it on you until you believed it with your heart and confessed it with your mouth. In the same way, none of the devil’s accusations or lies against you will stand. Don’t believe it and don’t confess it. Overcome it by believing and confessing what God says about you.

Guard your conscience with the righteousness of God. Do not allow yourself to fall into the thinking that what you are going through is because there is something wrong with you or because God is trying to punish you. God calls you righteous because He has made you righteous. Because of your faith in Jesus, you have God’s righteousness right now, 2 Cor. 5:21. The Bible assures us that many are the afflictions of ‘the righteous’ but the Lord delivers him from them all, Psa. 34:19. Be bold, Prov. 28:1. You have a right to divine protection. God Himself will vindicate you.

Faith Declaration:

I have the righteousness of God. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I have a right to divine protection. It is well with me.
