"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" (Isa. 54:17 KJV).

No weapon means not any kind of anything that could be used against you. What weapons are being used against you? What is coming up against you? The Word says no weapon that is formed against you shall succeed. It isn't going to prosper. It didn't say that it couldn't be formed. It said it isn't going to affect you.

This is a good reason to thank God every day. Give Him thanks, give Him praise like you believe it. And then say it: "No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper. And any tongue that rises against me in judgment I condemn with my words."

You have to condemn it. Here we are, back to words. Your words are important. And there is a time that you must condemn that which comes against you. Now if you don't condemn it, it doesn't get condemned. The scripture tells you what you have to do.

The scripture tells you what God would do. You are suppose to call the things which be not as though they were. And God will see to it that the situation turns out the way you say it would.

So you condemn it. You say, "You fall poverty! You fall sickness! You fall depression! You fall sin! You ALL fall! Your power is broken! I am prosperous!"

When you do that you are acting like God. When you put God's words in your mouth, you are applying the right hand and the arm of God to the problem to knock it out. Any tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you condemn. Why? This is your heritage.

What a heritage! Although I have ancestors in Africa, I have a better heritage in Heaven. You may have an heritage in Holland, Europe, China, or South America.

But I want you to know that you have a greater heritage. It is an heritage with God in Heaven. You come from God Himself. Therefore, you are a son of God, a member of His family, heir of God, joint Heir with Jesus Christ. And all that He has He has given to you.
