Promise of Victory Psalm 125

Why would God give us a sword and shield if we were not in a fight?


Psalm 125 Those who trust in the Lord will not be moved. Ps 125:1 The scepter of wickedness will not rest on the land (promise) of the righteous. Ps 125:3


Here in Psalm 125 is a promise that we will not be moved from the promise of God.


Unfortunately Satan does play by the rules. If we know who we are in Christ and the power of Christ within us, we can dislodge Satan our enemy and gain the victory.


1 The force of faith of perseverance, expectation, speaking and acting on the word of God. Rom 16:19,20; Romans 10:9,10
2 The violence of the kingdom. Matt 11:12
3 The perseverance of the saints. Rev 14:11,12
3 The prayer of faith. James 5:15
4 Casting down strongholds. 2 Cor 10:3-5
5 Taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Cor 10:3-5
6 Persistence of standing on the promises. Eph 6:13
7 Being led by love of God and others and the peace of God. Isaiah 55:12; 1 Peter 1:22
8. The blood of Jesus, our testimony of Christ and love Rev 12:11


Proverbs says that if a person steals from us we get 7 fold back Proverbs 6:30,31. Isaiah says that if we are under loss we will get a double portion. Isaiah 61:7 We can cast out the enemy and gain more than if he just left us alone. So in view of this, we can relish a fight, looking for the reward to come. God will crush Satan under our feet. Romans 16:19,20

Not that we would want to fight, but if a fight comes, we can know we will be rewarded for it.

Live ready. Luke 12:35

Bone Strength

Isaiah 58:11 "And the Lord will continually

guide you,

And satisfy your desire in scorched places,

And give strength to your bones;

And you will be like a watered garden

And like a spring of water whose waters do

not fail."

Isaiah 66:14 "Then you will see this and your

heart will be glad.

And your bones will flourish like the new

grass;

And the hand of the Lord will be made known

to His servants. ..."

Proverbs 3:8 "It will be healing to your body

and refreshment to your bones."

Job 21:24 "His sides are filled out with fat,

and the marrow of his bones is moist,"

Prov 15:30 Bright eyes gladden the heart and

good news puts fat on the bones.

Proverbs 16:24 "Pleasant words are a

honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to

the bones."

Proverbs 17:22 "A joyful heart is good

medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the

bones.

Proverbs 4:22 "For they are life to

those who find them and health to all their

body."

Proverbs 12:18 "There is one who

speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,

But the tongue of the wise brings healing."

Confessing the word of God is a good way to build strength in the spirit and repel the work of the enemy.

Rev 12:11 and they overcame him, because of the blood of the lamb, the word of their testimony and they did not love their life even unto death.

We change the course of our life with our tongue. James 3:4-6 We can also set our life on a course for destruction by our speech.

Job 22:28 We can set the course of our life by our statements.

Isaiah 41:15 “Behold I have made you a new sharp threshing sledge with double edges; you will thresh the mountains and pulverize them, and make the hills like chaff.” The bible has been refereed to as a 2 edged sword, Hebrews 4:12; Rev 19:15; Jesus is the Word John 1:1. Mountains are a type of problems.

Mark 11:23

Lord I pray for our bones to be strong and the pain to leave our bones, joints, ligaments. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for a health body to live life to the fullest.

There was a guy I planted trees with in the Oregon woods. I remember him saying, "problems (speaking of slash which was logging debris that got in our way of planting trees) what problems? I don't see any problems." And he was the fastest tree planter on the crew.

The lesson being our work is hindered if we focus on problems instead of solutions.

Of course there is problems or there wouldn't be any work to do. But Jesus is the solution and He gives us stratagy on what we can do to overcome the problems.
