Isaiah 36:18-21 “Don’t let Hezekiah mislead you by saying, ‘The Lord will rescue us!’ Have the gods of any other nations ever saved their people from the king of Assyria? 19 What happened to the gods of Hamath and Arpad? And what about the gods of Sepharvaim? Did any god rescue Samaria from my power? 20 What god of any nation has ever been able to save its people from my power? So what makes you think that the Lord can rescue Jerusalem from me?” 21 But the people were silent and did not utter a word because Hezekiah had commanded them, “Do not answer him.”
This scripture reveals to us one of the greatest spiritual strategies ever given to man. The bible says that in the midst of the enemies taunts, threats and accusations the people were silent and did not utter a word. There is victory in silence that many have failed to experience. So many times we allow our fleshly feelings to become our voice and instead of holding our tongue until we have heard from God, we speak out of emotion and fuel our enemy instead of defeating him.
I want to challenge you to refuse to argue with the enemy, we never gain victory by debating the enemy. Our victory comes when we take authority over the enemy and speak the word of God. The next time someone wants to taunt you or make false accusations against you, hold your tongue. Don't fuel the fire of their ignorance, walk away, get a word from God and then move forward in the direction that he speaks into your life. Silence isn't weakness it is strength and it will bring the victory of Christ into your life.
