"He Shall Not Come To The City Or Shoot An Arrow, Says The Lord."
Reference: Isaiah Chapter 37
When we yoke ourselves with the Lord, then our enemy becomes His enemy.
Satan will not shoot an arrow against a man or woman who is yoked with God in oneness, says the Lord.
Let's read.
Isaiah 37:1 "And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD."
Hezekiah received the threat of Sennacherib, a type of Satan. Hezekiah rent his clothes and rightfully went into the house of the Lord.
Isaiah 37:2 "And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz."
When trouble arises, the borderline believer knows exactly where to go. They went straight to Isaiah, the man who had the Word of God, the man who was in tune with that Spirit of God.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 37:3-4 "And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. [4] It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left."
There is no maybe with the Lord. He hears everything. He is Righteous. As long as we have our faith placed in Him, through death and resurrection, have exited the Blood of the first Adam into the Blood that he has provided, no devil can shoot an arrow at that man or woman who is encapsulated by the Blood of Jesus Christ.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 37:5-6 "So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. [6] And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me."
Be not afraid of any threat from the devil, as long as your faith is placed in the blood of the second Adam. You've died with him and resurrected with him, in union with him, one with him, you
Revelation 1:10-18 "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, [11] Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. [12] And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; [13] And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. [14] His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. [16] And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. [17] And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
He is the one that dwells in the believer. He is the one that dwells in the man or woman who has become one with Him through death and resurrection.
If he dwells in you, then where is fear? Then where is disease? Then where is death? Then where is Satan? They have to flee.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 37:7-29 "Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. [8] So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. [9] And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, [10] Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. [11] Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered? [12] Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar? [13] Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? [14] And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. [15] And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying, [16] O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth. [17] Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God. [18] Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, [19] And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. [20] Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. [21] Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria: [22] This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. [23] Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. [24] By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel. [25] I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places. [26] Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps. [27] Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up. [28] But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. [29] Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest."
The Lord will always raise a standard against the enemy. No matter which way he comes against a believer, the Lord will turn the enemy the same way he came. If it is a disease, the Lord will bring healing. If it is death, the Lord will bring resurrection.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 37:30-33 "And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof. [31] And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward: [32] For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. [33] Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it."
Those are the same words from the Lord to Satan today. He shall not come into your body nor shoot an arrow or cast a bank against you, for the Lord has met him where he is at. 2,000 years ago, when he made an open shame of him on the cross. If you will place your faith in that finished work and live there in oneness with God through Christ, Satan is already defeated, and you don't ever have to worry about him.
We conclude our reading.
Isaiah 37:34-38 "By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. [35] For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. [36] Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. [37] So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. [38] And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead."
The Lord cannot lose a battle. Rest in him. He has defeated every enemy:
- the enemy of sin
- the enemy of disease
- the enemy of death
- and the enemy Satan himself is already defeated
Yoke yourself with the Lord in oneness. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ the second Adam, as we revealed him from the first Adam. All enemies defeated, in Christ!
