Missile Defense System

The Word of God always has nuggets of truth that are just waiting to be uncovered! Obviously, after 2000 years, there is no new revelation...but there are definitely things to be revealed that we do not yet have knowledge of.  

Isaiah 54:17 has long been a passage that has been quoted and used in sermons, testimonies and songs.  Recently, this passage and the verses before it have brought about a greater meaning to me.

• 14. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
• 15. If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you.
• 16. See it is I who have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and produces a weapon fit for it's purpose; I have also created the ravager to destroy.
• 17. No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, says the Lord.

This passage has become even more real to me as I've watched the conflict that is presently taking place in Israel.  Israel has a Missile Defense System that has, up till now, been able to counterattack every missile that has been fired against it.

You and I have a Missile Defense System!  God has released His Angels to counterattack every missile that has ever been or ever will be fired at us!

God says that we are ESTABLISHED in RIGHTEOUSNESS!  We are LIFTED ABOVE OPPRESSION and do not have to fear...for TERROR WILL NOT COME NEAR US!

Verse 15 says that whoever is stirring up strife, gossiping about you, running your name down or trying to get others to turn against you...they will FALL as a result of their loose tongue!

God declares to us that it is He who has created the SMITH!  Who is the smith?  Well...it is the HOLY GHOST who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon fit for our purpose.  In addition, the RAVAGER is the ANGEL of the Lord who God has assigned to minister to us and protect us! (Psalm 91:11)

The Angel of the Lord will take out every missile that has been launched against us!  Praise the Lord today that God knows us by name and has declared that ... even when a weapon has been formed by people to try to take us out ... He declares that IT WILL NOT PROSPER and that EVERY TONGUE that has lashed out against us will be shot down in judgment!

God is your VINDICATOR!  Never forget that God has established your heritage to include a MISSLE DEFENSE SYSTEM!
