NO WEAPON
A group of people have been attacking my creditability for over a year, and smearing the name of the Lighthouse. The attack intensified this past week. I took it to the Father, and this is what He gave me: July 11, 2023, Evangelist/Pastor Barbara.
Daughter, the enemy is raging and has run out of weapons, so he has now turned to the vessels that want you destroyed and is throwing this last bit of confusion into the camp. You will be vindicated, little one; you can count on that.
I have given you a promise, and I {will} keep that promise. The lies will catch up with them, and then great tribulation will begin in their camps. The enemy cannot stop what I have placed into motion. He has absolutely nothing more to throw at you. He has used every evil device to destroy your name, but there is no weapon he has to use against you. My word repeatedly tells you {no weapon formed against you shall prosper} Isaiah 54: 17 I have never changed one word in My Word. Man tries to twist and manipulate My Word, but it stays anchored in the sure foundation.
At the beginning of The Lighthouse ministry, The Father gave me Isaiah 54, and He told me I could stand on this chapter all the days of my life.
Isaiah 54: 16 – 17 (MSG) 16 I create the blacksmith who fires up his forge and makes a weapon designed to kill. I also create the destroyer— 17 but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” GOD’s Decree.
I am here as a living witness to tell you–that as you hold onto the Father’s hand–do not compromise your walk, and walk in pure trust, knowing your Father has you, you have no enemies. God is fighting your battles for you. You never have to walk in fear of what the enemy will do to you, your family or your ministry.
We serve a Father that never slumbers nor sleeps. Psalm 121: 1 – 8 (NIV2011)
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Isaiah 54: 1 – 17 (MSG) “Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth! You’re ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women.” GOD says so! “Clear lots of ground for your tents! Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, drive the tent pegs deep. You’re going to need lots of elbow room for your growing family. You’re going to take over whole nations; you’re going to resettle abandoned cities. Don’t be afraid—you’re not going to be embarrassed. Don’t hold back—you’re not going to come up short. You’ll forget all about the humiliations of your youth, and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory. For your Maker is your bridegroom, his name, GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies! Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel, known as God of the whole earth. You were like an abandoned wife, devastated with grief, and GOD welcomed you back, Like a woman married young and then left,” says your God.
7 Your Redeemer GOD says: “I left you, but only for a moment. Now, with enormous compassion, I’m bringing you back. In an outburst of anger I turned my back on you— but only for a moment. It’s with lasting love that I’m tenderly caring for you. “This exile is just like the days of Noah for me: I promised then that the waters of Noah would never again flood the earth. I’m promising now no more anger, no more dressing you down. For even if the mountains walk away and the hills fall to pieces, My love won’t walk away from you, my covenant commitment of peace won’t fall apart.” The GOD who has compassion on you says so. “Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise, Lay your foundations with sapphires, construct your towers with rubies, Your gates with jewels, and all your walls with precious stones. All your children will have GOD for their teacher— what a mentor for your children! You’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 you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it. I create the blacksmith who fires up his forge and makes a weapon designed to kill. I also create the destroyer— but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” GOD’s Decree.
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.
In the midst of every trial and tribulation we need to constantly remind ourselves that God is for us and not against us. He is constantly watching over His beloved ones. God is saying: Lift up your eyes to the hills from whence cometh your help. Your help is in the Lord of the Universe, not on the mundane things of this world. BE OF GOOD CHEER AND KEEP WALKING.
The phrase “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help” is from Psalm 121:1-2 in the King James Version of the Bible. This psalm is one of the fifteen psalms categorized as “Songs of Ascent” which were sung by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem for the three annual feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles1. The psalmist is expressing his trust in God’s protection and guidance during his journey.
