Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,\u201d Says the Lord.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No weapon formed against you shall prosper. This is a powerful word from God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We hear it quoted often. Most times it is used to teach people that God will always come through for us when we are facing a trial or a tough time, and that we can never be defeated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is true. God is for us. He is our keeper and protector. And if He is for us, how can anyone or anything else prevail against us?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?<\/p>\n

But we need to be careful and understand that there is a big picture involved here, not just the here and now that’s directly in front of us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not understanding this can cause us to sometimes become disappointed or disillusioned if something doesn’t go quite the way we want it to or think it should go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life here on earth is a funny thing. It has peaks and valleys, ups and downs. Sometimes we might even liken it to a rollercoaster.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

But we can also liken it to a war that we are in. It’s a spiritual war, with many different battles. War is never, ever easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, we have to remember that not all battles are won in a war. Some battles are won, but some are lost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s most important is that we remember that the victory is ours, no matter how things look on the surface. When we suffer a defeat in a battle, it doesn’t mean that we are finished, washed up and ready to be tossed aside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not at all. Instead, it means that this particular battle is behind us. And now we need to learn from that battle, prepare for the next battle, and get God on it, so we have His strategy for victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus has already bought the ultimate victory for us. We need not lose our faith or our hope if we suffer defeat in a battle or two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The enemy has already been defeated in the heavens. That defeat is indisputable and can’t be undone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So take up the weapons of our warfare, which is spiritual, and prepare for the battle before us. The victory is ours, in the name of Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
