Weapon formed

"'No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment 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

The promises of God are magnificent. All enjoy and memorize, but none of them fall from the sky like rain. Those who want to take possession of them have to pay the price. The verse above guarantees that every weapon formed AGAINST HIS SERVANTS will not prosper. Servant is the one who serves, who devotes his entire life, sacrificing their desires for his Lord.

The wise

"Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like." Luke 6.47

Wisdom is a virtue that few possess. Not because it is only available to a few people. But because few are willing to pay the price to acquire it.
The teachings of Jesus, when practiced, can materialize the impossible dreams. Those who are wise invest in it and reap a lifetime of distinction from the foolish.

Entry price

"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5.19-21

Anyone who is willing to be different and make to a difference in this world - and to inherit the Kingdom of God - has to pay the fair price, which is to behave according to God's Kingdom. Or would it be possible to live by the darkness and still inherit the Kingdom of Light?

THE PRICE OF OBEDIENCE

"...though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him..."    Hebrews 5.8-9

Learning obedience has a high price.
If the Son of God, who was an obedient servant, had to pay the price by suffering, then imagine what we must suffer as well.
Denying the will of the flesh to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit hurts. But this is the price of obtaining eternal salvation of the soul.

NEW LIFE

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain."John 12.24

The price of having a new life in the Lord Jesus is death. The death of sin.
Those who want to be born of water and the Holy Spirit must die to sin.
Is it possible to live in sin and in the presence of God at the same time?
Either you give up your sinful life to live a new life or you will remain alone.

Left

"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent." Revelations 2:4-5

To return to the first love, you need total abnegation. In other words, sacrifice, sacrifice, and sacrifice. People are not always ready to pay the price, but if they don't follow this rule, even what they have left will be taken away from them.
