FOCUS: FOR GOD IS WITH US
FOCAL SCRIPTURES: Isaiah 8:9–10
“Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.”
EXCERPTS
The theme above came out of a season of opposition. The people of Judah were opposed by a confederation of their enemies. Isaiah 7:1–2, 6–7.
God declared in Isaiah 7:7 that their gathering would be in vain, regardless of how many they might be.
God is with us; that is why no gathering of the enemies will work against us.
Emmanuel is here with us. Therefore, fear not and be not dismayed.
Do not let anyone intimidate you. No evil speaking against you will work, because God is with us, and He has declared that it shall not stand.
The Word of God concerning us is final. God has the final say in our lives. Every evil speaking and evil counsel against us will not stand.
