There is a frenzied activity in the devil’s armory today. Many weapons are being forged in the fires and on the anvil. Strategies have been finalized against this Lord’s Day and all the worshipers who recognize it as something special to us. Assignments have been communicated and specifically tailored in a way that intends to bring frustration, futility and failure against the army of God, lest we reveal again the power and preciousness of Jesus Christ. Today, Hell would have our songs be in word only, our sermons to be clanging cymbals, our acts of service and giving to be done with great weariness or deep guilt. “Let all their ministry be routine and without high expectation!”, Hell cries. Isolate the missionary, depress the widow, fill those pastors with pride and drop the atom bomb of selfishness on top of every steeple!
God is also present in all Satan’s warehouses and war rooms and as soon as every crafted weapon is drawn from the fire, hammered out on the anvil of demons and dry from hissing in the waters wherein they were plunged…God writes something with His finger across ever weapon’s blade in the hands of the enemy:
“No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed.” – Isaiah 54:17 {ESV}
The enemy knows that he is fighting a losing battle. Let us remember that today. Do not believe his lies against you.
