…no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord…-Isaiah 54:17a, NIV
I find this verse instructive about how we engage in spiritual warfare.
We are not passive participants. God calls us to speak truth, which has the power to refute the lies of the Enemy.
To be sure, the Enemy is not a human one. We know this from other Scripture (see Ephesians 6:12).
Sometimes, we may “only” be speaking the truth to ourselves to set ourselves free from the lies. Yet the refutation is still very necessary!
Why does such Isaiah characterize such refutation as the “heritage” for God’s people?
I believe Isaiah is speaking about the fact that we are rulers in God’s kingdom. Refutation of lies is how we extend and stand in the authority God has given to us.
Yes I agree since coming upon this verse thru your website was given to me providentially by the divine will of God in the Holy Spirit. It all I can say. I was praying that our church members would put on the Full armor of God. Then you’re website divorce minister pop onto my mine alluding to Isaiah 54:17 then leading to our daily Bible study on HOLY BIBLE topic fight on your knees spiritual warfare. God is moving thus through the body of Christ. Praise and thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father Amen and Amen
