[Today is my youngest son’s birthday! Happy B-Day Michael! These following verses are promises given personally from God for me & my family!]
Isaiah 54: 13-17 God’s Decree
(MSG)
All my children will have God for their teacher—
what a mentor for my children!
We'll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,
far from any trouble—nothing to fear!
far from terror—it won't even come close!
If anyone attacks us,
we won't for a moment suppose that God sent them,
And if any should attack,
nothing will come of it.
God created the blacksmith
who fires up his forge
and makes a weapon designed to kill.
He also created the destroyer [the devil]—
but no weapon that can hurt us has ever been forged.
Any accuser who takes us to court
will be dismissed as a liar.
This is what God's servants can expect.
He'll see to it that everything works out for the best."
God's Decree. Who is like unto thee!
(AMP)
13 All my children shall be disciples [taught by the Lord (Himself) and obedient to His will], and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of my children.
14 We shall establish ourselves in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God's will and order): we shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for we shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near us.
15 Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not from Me [says the Lord]. Whoever stirs up strife against us shall fall and surrender to us.
16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose; and I have created the devastator to destroy [says the Lord].
17 But no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment we shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which we obtain from the Lord [this is that which He imparts to us as our justification], says the Lord.
Acts 16:30-31
(AMP)
30 And (the Philippian jailer) brought them out [of the dungeon] and said, Men, what is it necessary for me to do that I may be saved?
31 (Paul & Silas) answered, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ [give yourself up to Him, [take yourself out of your own keeping and entrust yourself into His keeping] and you will be saved, [and this applies both to] you and your household as well.
(CPV)
"Sirs," the jailer said, "what must I do to be liberated?" They told him, "Put your faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will be liberated."
[Just as the jailer saw with his own eyes that Paul & Silas were saved & liberated I have the same promise! Today Lord, I am renewed with joy by Your promise of liberation for my whole family!]
