Fuel the Fire, Lord
Isa 9:5
5 For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
NASU
Saints of God: The weapons that the enemy of your soul has formed against you will be discovered to be the fuel that feeds the celebration fire of his defeat. A manifestation of that victory that God has wrought for you will be as evident as the light and heat given off by a large bonfire.
Look at the next two verses.
Isa 9:6-7
6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
NASU
In the last sentence of the above verse we see God referred to as the Lord of hosts. This name refers to God as the commander of angel armies. May we see this Son, Jesus, given to us, as a mighty warrior; moved at the cry of His people. He is mighty to save. That weapon which the enemy has formed against us will fuel the fire of our victory celebration.
Isa 54:17
7 " 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.
NASU
Eph 6:10-12
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

WOW - The weapons that the enemy of your soul has formed against you will be discovered to be the fuel that feeds the celebration fire of his defeat.
Your thoughts today made me recall something from a few months ago. I had this thought pop up when looking at something on the web: While protestants generally do not use/wear the crucifix I got this image in my mind about the devil and the crucifix. He was cringing before it because every time he sees a crucifix he is reminded that what he believed was the day of his greatest victory was actually THE DAY OF his GREATEST DEFEAT!
