NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL SUCCEED

DECADES ago, in  a small mountainous country in southeastern Europe, there was a fearless band of Christians. An atheistic Communist government did its best to crush them. Yet torture, labor camps, and media attacks could not stamp them out.  Who were they?  Jehovah's Witnesses in Albania.  Though meeting together and preaching were extremely difficult, their persistence over decades has exalted  and honored Christianity and brought praise to Jehovah's name. Last year at the dedication of their new branch facilities, a longtime faithful Witness said:  "No matter how hard Satan tries, he keeps losing and Jehovah keeps winning!"

All of this is living proof of the truthfulness of God's promise toward his people as recorded at Isaiah 54:17:  "Any weapon whatever that will be formed against you will have no success, and any tongue at all that will rise up against you in the judgment you will condemn."  History confirms that nothing  that Satan's world can do will ever put a stop to the worship of Jehovah God by his dedicated servants.
