"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me, says the LORD." Isaiah 54:17. NKJV
If you don't know it already, accusations and fake news is going to come upon you at some stage in your spiritual walk. It goes with the territory. do something wonderful for God and the devil and demons have a meeting to decide what they can do to prevent you going any further.
When I was pastoring a certain church, I received a letter from a solicitor advising me that a woman that I knew very little about, had accused me of spreading lies about her and her male friend. I was totally taken aback but after talking to my regional superintendent, I followed his advice and wrote back to the solicitor, totally refuting these accusations. I never heard from them again.
Fake news and accusations fly around and they can be received by many as the truth, 'There's no smoke without fire,' type of thing. The devil loves to taint our reputation. This is why we should live our lives in such a way that people who know us, know this type of thing is not true.
You may be a victim of this at the moment. Firstly, don't worry, God knows your heart and that's all you need. Give it to Him and allow Him to vindicate you. When these type of things come our way, remember that, no sickness, no circumstance and no problem that rises against you can successfully bring you down. God has set His Word in place for each one of us to stand on. Whatever happens, this weapon will not prosper. The tongue that accuses you falsely, you can condemn. This is your right as a child of God. In Jesus we are the righteousness of God - a redeemed sinner, accepted and saved by grace.
Don't be the underdog any longer. Don't you think its time to accept that you're the head, not the tail? (Deuteronomy 28:13). Don't allow the evil one to push you around. Rise above his lies and taunts. Don't be afraid. He just wants you to fret and worry; to be weak and unproductive in your walk with God. Don't allow this.
The devil has powerful weapons which he will use against you given the chance. But when you're kitted out in the Armour of God, no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement, you shall condemn.
