How to beat any adversary!

“For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.” Luke 21:15 KJV

The key to overcoming any adversary lies in two divine weapons: a mouth and wisdom—both are given by God. Jesus promised in Luke 21:15, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.” When you receive a mouth from God, your words should carry divine authority. David did not just rush at Goliath with stones—he first declared boldly, “This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; …” (1 Samuel 17:46). His words defeated Goliath before the stone flew. Likewise, Moses declared victory before the Red Sea parted. In Exodus 14:13, he said, “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord…”—his mouth released faith, and God followed with power.

But it’s not just about speaking; you need to act wisely. That’s where divine wisdom comes in. Wisdom shows you what to do—whether it's using a sling like David, a rod like Moses, or marching around walls like Joshua at Jericho (Joshua 6). These were not random acts—they were divinely guided strategies. James 1:5 reminds us that “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God...” So, if you're facing opposition, don’t panic. Instead, ask God for a mouth that speaks with boldness and wisdom that acts right. With those two, your adversaries won’t stand a chance.

Prophetic word: "I have armed you with a voice and with wisdom that confounds the wise of this world. Fear not the giants before you, for I will speak through you and act through you. Just as I gave David the words and the strategy, just as I gave Moses the rod and the command, I am giving you divine utterance and heavenly insight. You shall not be silenced in the day of battle. Your words will pierce through confusion, and My wisdom will dismantle every plan of the enemy. Stand and speak, move and act—your victory is sure, for I, the Lord, fight with you and through you.” Says the Lord (Exodus 4:12, Isaiah 54:17, and Jeremiah 1:9).

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for the promise in Luke 21:15. Today, I receive the divine gift of a mouth that speaks with boldness and wisdom that confounds every adversary. Lord, fill my tongue with Your fire, and let my words carry weight in the Spirit. Teach me to speak right. Let every utterance align with Heaven's agenda. Father, grant me divine wisdom—reveal to me the rod I must stretch, the stone I must sling, the step I must take. Let me not be paralyzed by fear but empowered by revelation. Like David, I declare: I come in the name of the Lord of hosts! Let every adversary fall before me. I silence every accusing tongue and cancel every plot of the enemy. In Jesus’ name, I declare I have a mouth and wisdom—and by them, I overcome. Amen.
