For over two weeks now whenever I take communion, which for me is daily, the Holy Spirit keeps saying, as I take the bread, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper…”. Then I take the cup and I hear the Holy Spirit say, “No tongue that rises against you in judgement shall prevail.” I take communion daily and the Lord has taught me a lot of things through the communion meal over the years, but this has been a persistent word that is spoken daily as I take communion.

This morning as my communion sat on my desk, I kept hearing the same words from the Holy Spirit, so I finally looked up the verse and it is in Isaiah 54:17 and says, “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me, declares the LORD.” My heart melted upon reading, for multiple reasons. One because I just turned 54 on Monday and sensed Isaiah 54 was my chapter for this year, so this verse being in that chapter was a kiss from heaven. But secondly because it says, this is our heritage and our vindication.

Heritage is possession, property, inheritance, occupancy, portion; and vindication is righteousness, justice, salvation. When I put it all together, I sensed the Holy Spirit saying, “Communion is the weapon and the word that declares you righteous and gives you the right to possess justice.” Communion my friends is an offensive weapon we wield against the enemy. Every time we take communion and we declare Isaiah 54:17, we are decreeing vindication and our heritage from the Lord. It’s time to possess what is rightfully ours. From my communion cup to yours, cheers!!!!
