INTRODUCTION
Life is warfare. From the day you decided to follow God, hell declared war against you.
But God is saying to you today: “No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper.”
The word “fashioned” means designed, planned, manufactured.
The word “prosper” means succeed, accomplish its purpose.
So God is saying: They can plan it. They can make it. But it will not work.
This is your heritage as a servant of the Lord. – Isaiah 54:17
POINT 1: THE SOURCE OF THE WEAPONS – WHERE ATTACKS COME FROM
Weapons don’t just appear. They are fashioned.
1. The Devil – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy” – John 10:10. His weapons are sickness, delay, confusion, accusation.
2. People – “Every tongue which rises against you in judgment” – Isaiah 54:17. Gossip, slander, witchcraft, betrayal. “They sharpen their tongues like swords” – Psalm 64:3
3. Systems and Circumstances – Job losses, financial attacks, family battles. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood” – Ephesians 6:12
But hear this: A weapon can be fashioned, but it cannot prosper without God’s permission. – Job 5:12 “He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.”
POINT 2: FOUR REASONS WHY THE WEAPON WILL NOT PROSPER
1. YOU ARE COVERED BY GOD’S PRESENCE
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” – Psalm 91:1
When you are under God’s shadow, arrows cannot locate you. – Psalm 91:5-7
2. GOD FIGHTS FOR YOU
“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace” – Exodus 14:14
“If God is for us, who can be against us?” – Romans 8:31
Every battle against you becomes God’s battle.
3. YOU HAVE GOD-GIVEN AUTHORITY
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” – Luke 10:19
The same power that raised Jesus is in you. – Romans 8:11
4. YOUR WEAPONS ARE MIGHTIER
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” – 2 Corinthians 10:4
Prayer, the Word, the Blood of Jesus, praise. These dismantle every plan of the enemy.
POINT 3: WHAT TO DO WHEN WEAPONS ARE FASHIONED
1. Don’t Panic, Pray – “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” – Philippians 4:6
2. Condemn Every Evil Tongue – Isaiah 54:17 – “Every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.” Speak the Word back to the enemy.
3. Put On The Whole Armor – Ephesians 6:11 “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
4. Stay Righteous – Isaiah 54:17 “Their righteousness is from Me” Sin opens doors. Holiness closes them.
5. Praise In The Battle – Paul and Silas praised in prison and chains broke. Acts 16:25-26. Praise confuses the enemy.
POINT 4: BIBLICAL PROOF THAT WEAPONS FAILED
1. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego – The furnace was fashioned to kill them. But the 4th man showed up. Daniel 3:25. The fire did not prosper.
2. Daniel – The lion’s den was fashioned. But God shut the mouths of lions. – Daniel 6:22
3. Haman – The gallows were fashioned for Mordecai. Haman ended up on it. – Esther 7:10
4. Jesus – The cross was fashioned to end Him. But it became the weapon for our victory. – Colossians 2:15
If God did it for them, He will do it for you.
CONCLUSION
Child of God, hear me:
That sickness fashioned against your body shall not prosper.
That delay fashioned against your destiny shall not prosper.
That gang-up fashioned against your family shall not prosper.
That demotion fashioned against your career shall not prosper. In the name of Jesus!
“No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord” – Isaiah 54:17
PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, every weapon fashioned against me, scatter by fire, in Jesus name.
2. Lord, arise and fight my battles for me.
3. Every evil tongue speaking against me, be silenced now.
4. I cover my life, family and destiny with the Blood of Jesus.
5. Lord, let Your presence be my hiding place.
