STAY IN CHRIST
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD (Isaiah 54:17).
This opening verse is one of the blessings of Israel’s millennial kingdom under the Messiah; but it’s true of us in Christ today. In Him, we live and move and have our being. We’re guaranteed divine protection from all weapons of any nature, formed or used against us.
In Christianity, we dwell in Christ. Christ is our home. In Christ, we’re in safety. We’re immune from hurt or harm. It’s like what God did for the children of Israel in the Old Testament. Exodus 12:22-23 says, “And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.”
He told the children of Israel to stay inside their houses because the death angel was coming to town; there would be no safety outside. Then He instructed them to mark their doorposts and lintels with blood to prevent them from being destroyed along with the Egyptians.
They did as God instructed and they were preserved. As long as they stayed where God told them to stay, the death angel couldn’t touch them. It’s the same thing today; as long as you’re in Christ—as long as you stay in the truth of God’s Word—death, evil and peril will “pass over” you. You’ll live perpetually in victory.
When the reality of the Word and who you are in Christ dawns on you, you suddenly come to a place of absolute confidence and independence, where you realize that you’re superior to Satan and nothing he does can affectyou. This is our life in Christ. Glory to God!
Confession
I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and under the shadow of the Almighty. He is my refuge and my fortress. I’m forever protected and fortified against all evil, wickedness and corrupting influences in the world because I dwell in Christ, the place of safety, glory, dominion and everlasting joy—where I reign and rule over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Everything about me exudes the life of Christ; therefore, my health does not fail, rather, my health is ever radiant and ever flourishing. I am a dispenser of eternal verities. I am of God. I live in the ageless and deathless zone. I have eternal life; therefore, no disease or infection can fasten itself to my body. I do not suffer from diseases of old age, for I am renewed daily by the Word. I am bursting forth in divine health always.
The Lord is my refuge and my fortress. My God, in Him, I trust. On Him, I lean and rely. He delivers me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. I am not afraid of disease and death because the Lord is my shield and buckler. The angels of the Lord bear me up in their hands. I do not fall. I do not fail. I do not falter. I trample under my foot, challenges, sickness, infirmities, disappointments, agony, mishaps deceptions, and falsities. I live and dwell in health and safety all my days. I live the supernatural life in Christ – the life of majesty, tranquility, and dominance.
The reign of the Word and the influence of the Holy Spirit is over my spirit, soul, and body. I have the eternal life of God; therefore, I am not affected by anything that hurts. I flourish in perfect health and I am above all crippling circumstances of life. I am in Christ! I reign in righteousness. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, and I function with the ability of the Spirit always. I am the best of God’s creation because His Word of truth gave birth to me, therefore, no weapon formed against me shall prosper in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.
