No Weapon Formed Shall Prosper

The Last day events are unfolding right before our very eyes. The economy is on a steady decline, violence has increased on a domestic front, children are killing children, and now the violence has invited itself to the church. Jesus said, “In the last days men would be lovers of themselves more than lovers of God.” Saints, now is the time for us as believers in Christ Jesus to make sure that we have on the “whole armor of God.” While some will fall away and not return, we have to make sure that we are dressed for the battle. Paul said we are troubled on every side, yet not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed. Nay even in all things we are more than conquerors.

Saints, through the power of the Holy Ghost we have been given all that we need to make it to the end. Faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Him only is what is vital for us to make it in these last days. While the economy is in limbo, we have the promises of God [given to Abraham] extended to us that we would be lenders and not borrowers, heads and not tails, above and not beneath. We are blessed in our going out and blessed in our coming in. We are going to thrive during this time.

Currently, many people have to deal with issues regarding the loss of jobs, their homes, their vehicles, and some even their minds. Yet, through the word of God, we have the comfort in knowing that with every step, and in everything that we face, He is with us. For Jesus declares to His people, “lo I’m with you always, even until the end of the age.” We have been assured in Psalms 37, “ for yet a little while and the wicked shall not be; for they shall soon be cut down like the grass and whither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink. He does not depend on the world’s system to supply our needs, for the riches of the Lord are endless, which means your possibilities and means of thriving are endless.

Do not stress about it, but give praise for what the Lord is doing and what more He will do in your life. When you praise, God will do the impossible. For His word is true, and surely “no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper.” There are no grey areas with the Lord and since the weapons will not prosper, you WILL thrive during the times when the enemy expects you to die. I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord!!!

What can man do unto you when the Lord is on your side!
