“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!” Isaiah 54:17, New Living Translation
You may think the weapon has prospered because of the negative impact it’s having on you and your family. You may think the weapon prospered because the enemy got into your home, and he got into your marriage and into your children and caused chaos. But just because the enemy got your children to do some things that are out of character, just because he got your husband to act and behave in a way that is not loving towards you, doesn’t mean that any weapon formed has prospered. The weapons of the enemy prosper when we allow them to get us out of the will of God, out of the plan and purpose of God, and out of our seat.
As long as you are doing what God has called you to do and being who He created you to be, the weapon may have formed, but it did not work. It did not stop you!
Listen to me, no weapon in and of itself is strong enough to force you off your post, force you out of your seat, force you out of God’s will, or force you off of the plan and purpose of God for your life. It may look like it is. It may feel like it is. But the Spirit of Christ within you is stronger than any weapon of the enemy. This is something the devil doesn’t want you to know. Sometimes we wonder why God allows us to face things. My question to you is without the fire, how would you ever know who and what you are? Your will and your resolve are more powerful than any missile of the enemy. You would have to be the one to decide to walk away, to put your shield down, and to step away from your calling, but the weapons themselves are not stronger than you.
Just like with Nehemiah and everything he and the people of Israel experienced while they were rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, they had to decide whether or not those weapons would prosper against them and cause them to give up and stop the work. You have to decide to stay right there where God placed you and by His grace and power, finish the work He’s commissioned you to complete in His strength, not yours!
This devotional is taken from the book Stay Right There (Available on Amazon).
Amen.
I know, receive, and believe, in Jesus Christ name.
Hallelujah thank You Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit❤️😊🙏🏽
God,
I have decided to stay there where YOU have placed me and by YOUR Grace and Power finish the work YOU’ve commissioned me to complete in YOUR strength and not mine!!!!!
Because greater is HE that is in me then he that is in the world and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me I don’t particularly like this season I’m going through, but I’m trusting YOU God and I know YOU’re gonna bring me through it and I know YOU’re going to honor the vision YOU gave me though it tarries, I wait for it… and I praise YOU in this waiting room! YOU ARE WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
OH what a beautiful message your writing team is on point today
Blessed by the Word!!! I have decided to stay right where God has placed me and by His grace and power, finish the work He’s commissioned me to complete in His strength, not mine!
I needed to read this devotional as I have been feeling defeated and like my situation is hopeless. But God. It is Him that is strengthening me through it all. Thank you. Very timely. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽♥️📖🙌🏽
Same here. I feel so beat down, stressed etc. This post is helping me to rise up again. I definitely could use some prayers.
There was a young woman who has two daughters that has requested prayer not stuff. But if you believe you are being led to gift a grocery card for her they probably have the info where you can send it.
I just want her to her our testimony since October. Because of physical problems my husband and I had to sell our home and find a brand new Doublewide to live in. We are 68 now. So it is a perfect time for us to sell our home and get rid of things we do not need nor do they want. So God brought us a buyer and we looked at a mobile home three times. We were able to move from our home directly into the mobile home which is a 3/2. We are continuing to unpack. We saved money on the moving too. We stored a lot of things at our son’s home as well as our daughters. Saving money on a storage space. My daughter knew someone that just unpacked with super strong brown boxes for free. So we saved on packing materials too. We got into the mobile home and rebates and other finances from a solar kickback to our extra insurance policy kickback. This is all money that we did not expect. We are living on a fixed income so any money that is extra is God supplying money to us in ways that we did not expect and a total blessing. With Christmas coming up shortly this will help us bless our family. Remember I said we had people from all over praying for us. God answered their prayers as well as ours. It has been awesome to watch Him work. He continues to bless us each and every single day. I fell two nights ago with no injury and my husband fell yesterday and is okay. So I want to say to this young woman PRAISE GOD IN THE STRESS AND WHILE YOUR BEING BLESSED. He is our provider and never fails To provide for us. This is just a portion of what He has done for us. So I’m praying that you begin to see Him meet your needs in many ways. Merry Christmas to this young mother and everyone that reads this.
Hallelujah 🙌🏾
Praise God 🙏🏾
✝️♥️
Amen! Thank you Father God and Lord Jesus for this Awesome word! It is so reassuring and right on target with what I have been experiencing. I will indeed complete the calling God has given to me, and when I reach Home where HE is, in heaven, I hope to hear that I did the work in a way that pleased Him, not the world. Wholeheartedly, with full courage a boldness of the LORD.
God bless each and every one of you Sisters in Christ here on this website. We will All complete the special calling that the Lord has on our individual lives, and it will be done as according to God’s will, only. I decree and declare this, in Jesus name!
