NO WEAPON CAN HURT YOU

OPPRESSION IS NOT OF GOD 

It is so easy when the winds of adversity hits to feel oppressed. You may feel that God is angry with you and is trying to get back at you for something you've done. Even godly people (like Job's friends) may tell you that perhaps God is displeased with you or that you may need to check your life. With all the good intent they may have their judgement may cause you to feel oppressed. Thank God for the depth of His grace that He so liberally and freely has given. If we accept it we know that He is not trying to get back at us for anything but wants to restore us to Himself.

The following scripture states that you will be established in righteousness, and that you will be far from oppression. So there is no need to fear for terror, for it shall not come near you.

Isaiah 54:14 (KJV)

In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
It is also states that even when these things gather and come your way that you should not think for a minute that it was sent by God. He promises that if anyone tries to attack you they shall fall.
Verse 15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Be assured that God will fight for you and will guard you with His promise word. He does only make it but keeps it to the very letter.

TODAY'S FOCUS: GOD'S RIGHTEOUS DECREE

FORGED WEAPONS - God created the blacksmiths that fires up and create weapons to destroy and kill, but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged or made.
Let's take a look at the following meaning and then read the scripture:

Forge  n.1. A furnace or hearth where metals are heated or wrought; a smithy.
v.tr. 1.a. To form (metal, for example) by heating in a forge and beating or hammering into shape. b. To form (metal) by a mechanical or hydraulic press. 2. To give form or shape to, especially by means of careful effort

Isaiah 54: 16-17

Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
God has made this decree to those who have been established in righteousness through His grace and mercy. In this decree He has also established that your accusers that accuse you will not stand up a day in court, and every case brought against you will be dismissed. This is what you can expect as a servant of the Lord.
Remember, you have nothing to fear because you are built solid and grounded in the righteousness of God. Trouble and terror and those who want to attack and accuse you will fall. Know that God is not the one who sets up or assign these attacks, and even though you feel the effects of the attacks- no weapons that can harm you has been formed. Finally know that - The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 9: 9
