No Weapon

Many people have prayed this verse, but have no idea where to find it in the bible.

It actually resides in Isa 54:17, and if I'm not wrong, it's the only instance where it is said.

The whole of Isaiah is like a mini bible. The first 39 books are like the old testament (judgment), and the next 27 books are like the new testament (hope). Since it's in Chapter 54, this verse is a verse of hope.

It's a prophetic verse spoken to the Israel, and thus by extension to all believers today.

"NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU...", means that in our world today, not everyone are our friends. There will be people, principalities and powers that will be against us, and they will deliberately be all out to come against you. Not only that, they will try all sorts of means and ways to see you fail.

"...SHALL PROSPER", in context, this means that it will never succeed. God's covenant to us is that if we keep walking in His ways, there is divine protection (it's like a heritage to all believers) against the devil, his demons, principalities and powers, human enemies, etc.

In Christ, we have nothing to fear.
