I was driving down the interstate feeling discouraged from an
appointment I had just had. A former employee's company was seeking to
displace me, and my company, as their source for our services. It had
been one of many difficult events during those months. As I was driving,
some words popped into my mind, No weapon formed against you shall
prosper. I could not tell you where those words came from other than I
knew the Holy Spirit was speaking them to me; I knew they were in the
Bible. I knew they were in the Old Testament.
When I returned to my office that day, I searched for the key words in
my concordance and found the verse. "No weapon forged against you will
prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you" (Is.
54:17a).
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would remind us of the things He desires
us to know. There are times in our lives when the Holy Spirit speaks
into our spirit words designed to encourage us or give us what we need
at the moment. That is just one of the roles of the Holy Spirit in the
life of the believer. The more you know God's Word, the more often
you'll recall verses the Holy Spirit will bring to mind for a given
situation. Study God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to remind you of
the things He desires you to know.
