Dear devil,
Are you big mad or little mad about making a weapon that does not work?
(Asking for a friend.)
Signed,
God's Servant.
The Manhattan Project, the top-secret U.S. effort to develop the atomic bomb, took a little over two years to produce the first nuclear weapons. The project began in June 1942 and ended in August 1947. It cost almost $1.9 billion.
The first atomic bomb, codenamed "Little Boy", was used in the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945.
Unfortunately, almost some 80 years later we are still stunned at what that weapon did to a people.
And writing this now, it is one thing I wish would have never happened. But it did. And we must fight to never let history repeat such a terrible endeavor.
BUT........
What if the bomb had not worked?
What if after all that time and all those billions of dollars spent, what if it never worked?
What if every time it was tested, intricate little pieces came up faulty?
Let’s be honest, what if the makers blew themselves up trying to make it?
Now we would have a whole different story.
The narrative would most certainly be 'when you build something to destroy someone else, it can also destroy you'.
You could almost guarantee that the children that were playing on the streets of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are now grown and have their own children and grandchildren. You can almost imagine how far the city would’ve come had it not been destroyed by such an evil.
I am in no way taking sides, I just wish Pearl Harbor hadn’t happened & Hiroshima, and Nagasaki hadn’t happened. I wish war was not a thing and weapons were not formed.
But unfortunately, we are not in Heaven yet and so this is the world we live in for now.
So again, I ask the question from the beginning:
What is the whole point in making a weapon that does not work?
It’s the question we ask of an enemy that daily makes weapons against us that just will never work.
The only reason why it seems like the enemy's weapons are working, is because we believe what he says, and sometimes feel outnumbered and defeated.
The truth of the matter is God’s Word says that just because a weapon is formed does not mean that it will prosper and it indeed cannot.
God gave me a revelation about this by making me remember how people make fun of Ford; the automobile manufacturer.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard my mechanic Father say the letters in Ford stand for "fix or repair daily", or "found on road dead".
I’ve even heard him say he can’t understand why people would buy a Ford.
My Dad won't believe Google says Ford is the top selling brand in the US.
However, daily, the enemy is manufacturing and forging weapons against us that will never work.
Yet and still, people buy into it.
Just like a car manufacturer, the enemy has workers – and they are not all demons or his angels. Many are just regular human beings like you and I who, most of the time, are unwilling vessels, who don’t know that they are being used to further his purpose in the earth.
None of the enemy's weapons are fancy, they are all just raggedy.
Every weapon he makes and uses against you is familiar.
Distraction is a weapon. Hate a weapon. Financial issues is a weapon. Self-esteem can even be a weapon.
I heard somewhere that the devil doesn’t have any new weapons, he just uses what is familiar to you to get your attention and to draw you in.
So every time he uses a weapon against you, and you don’t let him win with that weapon, he has to go back and tweak it, fix it, bang on it and blow in it like an Atari cartridge to try it again & see if it will work against you the next time.
Hence, why I say his weapons are raggedy, Child!
Every time he comes at me with a familiar weapon I imagine it being covered in duct tape L O L!
When he comes at me and uses someone to cut me off in traffic and I want to cuss them out lol – but then I don’t – that means his weapon did not work. So therefore, he has to go back, and create another distraction that he thinks might get me the next time.
Can you just imagine him using a wrench when he really needs a screwdriver, or him using double-sided tape when he really needs to use superglue?
Maybe he gets his weapons from ACME! LOL
Every time he uses one of his weapons against you, he is basically just throwing something at the wall to see what will stick – to see what thing he can use that will make you give up and let him win.
Now ain’t that just raggedy L O L
If you can just get in your mind and in your spirit that none of his weapons are new or if you can just untangle your consciousness from thinking that you are alone going through something that nobody else has ever gone through, then you will notice that all of his weapons are garbage!
I hate to burst your bubble, dear, but thinking that you are special enough that he would make a brand new weapon... that in and of itself, is the weapon of selfishness.
God‘s word says that there is nothing new under the sun & the enemy's weapons are definitely not new.
As a matter of fact, I believe his most effective weapon is his power of suggestion.
Ask Eve.
He simply suggested “did God really say....?“.
He never argued with her by saying "no that’s not what he said", he just simply suggested.
He can suggest to you that you are broke and then you look at your checking account and agree.
He can suggest that you’re ugly and then you look in the mirror and see a couple of blemishes and you agree.
But no matter what his suggestion is, always compare it to The Word!
The word will always show you just how raggedy his weapons are.
When he says you’re broke, remind him that Philippians 4:19 says my "God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory".
When he says you’re ugly, let him know that Genesis 1:27 says you look like GOD: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Every single one of his suggestions can be refuted and proven wrong.
And every single one of his weapons needs to be fixed or repaired daily.
I’m willing to bet that if you look around your life, you will find bits and pieces of his weapons that did not prosper against you. It’s almost like looking around a junkyard, huh?
Well... time to get rid of the junk around you so he can't keep using it as weapons against you.
“no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.””
Isaiah 54:17 ESV
Another brilliant bit.
