Yom R’vi’i, Tammuz 1, 6004 – June 5, 2019

No Weapon

It is interesting how the promises of God work together in scripture. This morning I was thinking about a particular promise.

Isaiah 54:14 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.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16 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.
17 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.

Isaiah is referring to a time to come when the Redeemer comes. He also speaks of how the audience was estranged from God at one point, but will not be in the future. This promise (from the “OLD TESTAMENT”) is talking not only about our Messiah, Yeshuah. It also speaks of the righteousness of God. We get there through yielding to Yeshuah first. Then we always make course corrections to get back to our Father and His path. We must always be willing to return.

2 Chronicles 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, we ask in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
