The heritage of the servants of Jesus!


“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.”
Isaiah 54:17

Isaiah, the prophet, is speaking about the downfall and revival of the Israelites. He speaks in great detail with imagery explaining how the Israelites will be restored and esteemed as the apple of God’s eye.

God said where there was no peace there will be peace. Barren women will have babies. The afflicted will be comforted and given a foundation like precious gems.

God said His great mercies are like the waters of Noah and He will never again take His covenant of peace away from Israel.

God never changes so you can claim all these powerful promises. 

This scripture gives you insight into the mind and personality of God. 

God for a moment decided to forsake the Israelites. Remember, a moment with God can be many years for a human being. 

God admitted He was a little angry. If God was very angry the Israelites would have been destroyed. God hid His face from the Israelites for a moment but God’s everlasting kindness reflected mercy on the Israelites. 

God seemed aloof and distant with the Israelites and the Christ follower will experience the same feelings of abandonment by God at times.

God promises no weapon formed against a believer will prosper and every word spoken against you in judgment shall be condemned. This is the heritage of the servants of Jesus who have received their righteousness from Him.

As a believer you are entitled to speak against any weapon formed against you. This includes calamities sickness, evil curses, poverty and slander from your enemies. You have the authority of Jesus to rebuke all evil words and actions spoken against you.

God promises to restore your standing and give you more than you ask or think.

God reminds believers His righteousness comes by faith and not through any other source.

God does not function on our timeline so we have to be patient and wait upon Him. The timing of Jesus is perfect because He operates on an eternal timeline.
