HEAVENLY PROTECTION

Proclamation:

“If you say, ‘The Lord is my refuge,’ and you make The Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.  For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;” Psalm 91:9-11 (NIV)

Explanation:

This psalm was written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by an unknown human author.  The psalmist states that those who know The Lord and love Him and follow His word will be protected by His angels.  No harm will come to them or their home.

Application:

Those of us who trust in The Lord will be under His protection.  He will assign guardian angels to watch over us and to protect us.  Believers will have not just one guardian angel but angels will be assigned to us and “they” will protect us. (Psalm 91:12)  As the song says, "O to be kept, by Jesus ..." He can keep us safe from all hurt, harm, and danger.

Don't Walk The Dark Road Of Life Alone

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105

"Order my steps in Thy Word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." Psalms 119:133

"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:6

The steps and directions of a good man/woman are ordered by The Lord. Don't walk down the dark road of life by yourself. Let The Lord direct you, light your path, and protect you as you go through life. As you plan, begin, continue, and end every work and purpose in life, include God in it.

Fear Not, Don't Be Afraid

Fear not! Don't be afraid. There is no need to be afraid of anything if God is your refuge.

"You shall not be afraid of the terror by night; nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday."

"Because you have made The Lord, who is my refuge, even The Most High, your dwelling place; No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways." Psalms 91:5-6 & 9-11 (NKJ)

If you love The Lord, then there is no need to fear anything. 1 John 4:18 (NKJ) says "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear..." So, fear not! Don't be afraid. Let your love of God show, He will protect you.

A Powerful Prayer For You

For all of you who are going through something that appears to be more than you can handle, I pray for you as Paul did, "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit ..." Ephesians 3:16

From time to time we all need help, more than that which can be provided by our fellow man, we need His help and strength. May God strengthen, energize, revitalize, empower, protect, and sustain you through whatever, as only He can.

No Weapon Formed Against Us Shall Prosper

The Lord will be our protection. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of The Lord, and their righteousness is of Me, saith The Lord." Isaiah 54:17

All of our enemies shall be put down and all of the devices that they planned to use against us shall fail. The Lord has promised to protect us because we belong to Him.

Even those who speak evil against us will find that their words will not harm us as they intended, but will backfire and condemn themselves.
