2:49
from Temptation and from any evil that
2:51
tries to enter our lives we believe in
2:54
your power Lord and we trust that your
2:56
protection is over us now and forever in
2:59
Jesus mighty name we pray amen when we
3:04
think about God's protection it's
3:06
important to understand that it goes
3:07
beyond physical safety yes God does
3:10
protect us from physical harm but his
3:13
protection also extends into the
3:14
spiritual realm where battles against
3:16
evil forces are waged every day the
3:19
Bible speaks of the spiritual battle in
3:21
Ephesians 6:12 saying for we do not
3:24
wrestle against flesh and blood but
3:26
against the rulers against the
3:28
authorities against the Cosmic Powers
3:30
over this present Darkness against the
3:33
spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly
3:35
places in moments when we feel like
3:38
everything is going wrong or when we
3:39
sense a spiritual heaviness around us
3:42
these are often signs that we are
3:43
engaged in spiritual warfare but take
3:46
heart God equips us to stand firm he
3:49
provides us with his armor his strength
3:52
and most importantly his Divine
3:55
protection Psalm 91 beautifully
3:57
illustrates the depth of his protection
4:00
the imagery of being covered with his
4:02
feathers and finding Refuge under his
4:04
wings speaks to the closeness and
4:06
intimacy of God's care for us we are not
4:09
distant from his love we are wrapped up
4:11
in it the enemy may try to plant seeds
4:14
of fear doubt and confusion but when we
4:17
are Anchored In God's protection those
4:19
attempts will fail think about a shield
4:22
in battle it is designed to absorb the
4:25
blows of the enemy it doesn't mean we
4:27
won't be hit with challenges or
4:28
difficulties but it does mean that God's
4:31
Shield will absorb the impact his
4:33
faithfulness to us becomes our Shield
4:35
when we place our trust in him he covers
4:37
Us deflecting the enemy's attacks a key
4:40
element to walking in God's protection
4:42
is trust Psalm 91:2 says I will say of
4:46
the Lord he is my refuge and my Fortress
4:52
trust trusting God is not always easy
4:55
especially when we are in the middle of
4:56
a storm but it's in those very moments
4:59
of difficulty that our faith grows the
5:02
more we trust in God's protection the
5:04
more we experience his peace even in the
5:07
midst of chaos this protection doesn't
5:09
mean that we will never face trials or
5:11
difficulties in fact Jesus tells us in
5:15
16:33 in this world you will have
5:18
trouble but take heart I have overcome
5:22
world the promise here is not the
5:25
absence of trouble but the assurance
5:27
that in the midst of trouble Jesus has
5:29
has already overcome it we are
5:31
victorious through him and his
5:33
protective covering ensures that no
5:35
matter what we Face we are not alone in
5:38
your own life think about the times when
5:40
you have felt overwhelmed attacked or
5:43
fearful perhaps there were moments when
5:45
you weren't sure how things were going
5:47
to turn out but God showed up in ways
5:49
you never expected that's his protection
5:52
at work sometimes we don't even realize
5:55
the full extent of what he Shields us
5:57
from but his faithfulness never fails
6:00
one of the most powerful ways to
6:02
activate God's protection is through
6:04
prayer and declaring his word speaking
6:07
scriptures like Psalm 91 over your life
6:09
your family and your home builds a
6:12
spiritual wall of protection remember
6:15
the word of God is alive and active
6:17
Hebrews 4:12 and when we speak it in
6:20
faith we align ourselves with the power
6:22
and Promises of God as you go through
6:25
your day remember this you are never
6:28
alone and God's protection surrounds you
6:30
like a fortress even when you cannot see
6:33
it his angels are guarding you his hand
6:35
is guiding you and his wings are
6:37
covering you let your heart find peace
6:40
in that truth you are safe in his
6:43
arms as we continue to reflect on God's
6:46
Divine protection it's essential to
6:48
recognize that his covering isn't just a
6:51
passive Shield it's active and Powerful
6:54
the Bible reveals time and time again
6:56
that God fights for his people he steps
6:58
into our battle and brings Victory where
7:00
we may see only defeat one of the most
7:03
powerful illustrations of this is found
7:05
in Exodus 14 where the Israelites were
7:07
trapped between the Red Sea and the
7:09
approaching Egyptian army with no way
7:11
out and fear gripping their hearts Moses
7:14
spoke the word of the Lord saying the
7:16
Lord will fight for you you need only to
7:21
14:14 in that moment God parted the sea
7:25
making a way where there seemed to be no
7:27
way he didn't just protect them from
7:29
harm he obliterated the threat entirely
7:32
and the same God who fought for the
7:34
Israelites is fighting for you today you
7:36
may be facing an impossible situation or
7:39
you may feel like the enemy is closing
7:41
in but God's protection is active he is
7:44
making a way for you even when you can't
7:46
see it yet in our daily lives we
7:49
sometimes feel like we're constantly
7:51
under attack whether from stress
7:54
relationships or inner struggles like
7:56
anxiety and fear it can feel like the
7:59
for forces of evil are pressing down on
8:01
us trying to break us but God's
8:04
protection is not just for the big
8:05
battles it's for the daily ones
8:08
too Psalm 1217 8 tells us the Lord will
8:12
keep you from all harm he will watch
8:14
over your life the Lord will watch over
8:16
your coming and going both now and
8:19
more God is watching over every detail
8:23
of your life from the moment you wake up
8:25
to the moment you rest your head at
8:27
night he is guarding you guid in you and
8:30
shielding you from harm but how do we
8:32
practically walk in that protection it
8:34
starts with surrender the more we
8:36
surrender our worries our fears and our
8:38
situations to God the more we allow him
8:41
to move in those areas it's not always
8:43
easy to surrender because it requires
8:45
trust it requires us to let go of
8:48
control and believe that God truly is
8:50
our refuge and Fortress but when we do
8:53
we tap into a piece that surpasses all
8:56
understanding Philippians
8:57
4:7 we also access God's protection
9:00
through prayer prayer is not just a
9:03
routine or a duty it's our direct line
9:05
to the one who holds the universe in his
9:07
hands when we pray for protection we are
9:10
inviting God into our circumstances
9:13
asking him to surround us with his
9:14
presence in Psalm 34:7 it says the angel
9:18
of the Lord encamps around those who
9:20
fear Him and he delivers
9:23
them this is such a powerful truth God
9:26
sends his angels to surround us to Camp
9:30
and to Deliver Us from
9:31
danger think about that for a moment
9:34
God's Heavenly Army is stationed around
9:36
you guarding your every step sometimes
9:40
the protection God provides is not what
9:42
we expect there are times when we pray
9:44
for deliverance from a particular
9:46
situation but God allows us to go
9:48
through it this doesn't mean his
9:50
protection has failed instead it means
9:52
he has a greater purpose at work in
9:55
those moments God is protecting our
9:57
souls refining our faith faith and
9:59
drawing us closer to him he knows the
10:02
bigger picture and his protection is
10:04
always aligned with his perfect plan for
10:06
our lives an incredible example of this
10:09
is found in the story of Shadrach 2
10:10
meach CH and Abednego in Daniel 3 these
10:14
three men were thrown into a fiery
10:16
furnace because they refused to bow down
10:17
to the king's Idol from the outside it
10:20
looked like they were doomed but instead
10:23
of protecting them from the fire god
10:25
protected them in the fire they walked
10:27
through the Flames but the flame Flames
10:29
did not harm them in fact the Bible says
10:32
they didn't even smell like smoke when
10:34
they came out not only that but Jesus
10:36
himself was seen walking in the fire
10:38
with them this is a powerful reminder
10:41
that sometimes God doesn't remove us
10:43
from the fire but he walks with us
10:45
through it protecting us from harm and
10:48
ultimately bringing us out
10:50
Victorious so as we pray for divine
10:52
protection we must also trust in God's
10:55
process we need to trust that he is
10:57
working all things together for our good
11:00
Romans 8:28 even when we don't
11:03
understand how the key is to keep our
11:05
eyes on him not on the fire the storm or
11:08
the battle as Peter learned when he
11:11
walked on water it was only when he took
11:13
his eyes off Jesus and focused on the
11:15
wind and waves that he began to sink but
11:18
as long as we keep our eyes fixed on the
11:19
Lord we will stand firm in his
11:21
protection in the New Testament Jesus
11:24
reassures us of his ongoing protection
11:26
in John 10:28 29 where he says I give
11:30
them eternal life and they shall never
11:33
perish no one will snatch them out of my
11:36
hand my father who has given them to me
11:39
is greater than all no one can snatch
11:42
them out of my father's
11:44
hand this is a beautiful promise that
11:47
nothing and no one can separate us from
11:49
the love and protection of God once we
11:51
are in his hands we are secure for all
11:54
eternity in your personal life you may
11:56
be facing situations where you feel
11:58
vulnerable unprotected or exposed to
12:01
attack maybe it's a financial crisis a
12:04
health issue or a relational conflict
12:06
that has left you feeling defenseless in
12:08
those moments remember that God is your
12:11
Shield he is not distant or uninvolved
12:14
he is actively working behind the scenes
12:16
setting up Divine protection around you
12:18
even if you can't see it his angels are
12:21
encamped around you and his spirit is
12:23
within you giving you strength and
12:26
wisdom as we walk in this world we must
12:29
be be mindful that our protection is not
12:30
found in our own strength abilities or
12:34
resources it is found in God alone he is
12:37
the one who stands between us and the
12:39
enemy he is the one who raises a
12:41
standard when the enemy comes in like a
12:46
59:19 and he is the one who will never
12:48
leave us nor forsake us Hebrews 13:5 so
12:52
whatever you are facing today take heart
12:55
God is with you he is your Refuge your
12:57
Fortress and your Shield he will cover
13:00
you with his feathers and under his
13:02
wings you will find Refuge his
13:05
faithfulness will be your shield and
13:06
Rampart and no evil will come near you
13:09
trust in his protection and know that
13:12
you are safe in his mighty hands let's
13:14
dive even deeper into what it means to
13:16
live under God's Divine
13:18
Protection One of the most comforting
13:20
aspects of God's protection is that it
13:23
is constant it doesn't waver based on
13:25
our circumstances or emotions whether we
13:28
feel safe or not whether we see his hand
13:31
at work or not God is always protecting
13:33
us his love and care are unwavering and
13:36
his eyes are always on us as it says in
13:39
2 Chronicles 169 for the eyes of the
13:41
Lord range throughout the Earth to
13:43
strengthen those whose hearts are fully
13:44
committed to him this means that God is
13:47
always watching over us seeking to
13:49
strengthen and protect us as we walk in
13:51
faith one of the greatest enemies to our
13:54
sense of security is fear fear can
13:57
us causing us to feel exposed
13:59
and vulnerable but God's word tells us
14:01
repeatedly to a fear not Isaiah 41:10
14:04
says so do not fear for I am with you do
14:08
not be dismayed for I am your God I will
14:10
strengthen you and help you I will
14:12
uphold you with my righteous right hand
14:15
God's promise to be with us is one of
14:16
the most powerful assurances we have
14:19
it's a reminder that no matter what we
14:21
Face we are never alone fear often
14:24
arises when we focus on the problem
14:25
instead of on God's presence it's easy
14:28
to get overwhelmed when we fix our eyes
14:30
on the circumstances but when we shift
14:32
our gaze to the Lord we find peace this
14:35
is why Psalm 915 T 6 tells us you will
14:39
not fear the terror of night nor the
14:41
arrow that flies by day nor the
14:44
pestilence that stalks in the darkness
14:46
nor the plague that destroys at
14:49
midday the psalmist is not denying the
14:52
existence of these dangers but rather
14:54
proclaiming that God's protection
14:55
renders them powerless over us this is a
14:58
radical shift in perspective instead of
15:01
living in fear of what could happen we
15:03
live in the Assurance of what will
15:04
happen God's protection will cover
15:08
us Heavenly Father we come before you
15:11
once again fully aware of the battles we
15:13
face but even more confident in your
15:16
overwhelming power to protect us Lord we
15:19
thank you for the promises you have
15:21
given us through your word Promises of
15:23
safety refuge and strength we hold on to
15:26
those truths right now as we lift our
15:28
hearts and prayer father we ask that you
15:31
Shield us from all the forces of evil
15:32
that try to come against us whether they
15:34
are seen or unseen known or unknown we
15:37
know that nothing can stand against your
15:39
Mighty hand Lord we declare your word
15:41
over our lives just as you said in Psalm
15:44
91 a thousand may fall at your side
15:48
10,000 at your right hand but it will
15:50
not come near you we stand on that truth
15:53
today knowing that even in the midst of
15:55
danger even when everything around us
15:57
seems to be falling apart you are our
15:59
protector you are our refuge our
16:02
Fortress our hiding place we will not
16:04
fear because you are with us father we
16:07
pray for every person joining us in this
16:09
moment we don't know the specifics of
16:11
their battles but you do some are facing
16:15
spiritual attacks some are wrestling
16:17
with fear anxiety or depression and some
16:20
are dealing with physical illness or
16:22
financial hardship but no matter what
16:25
the situation we ask that you wrap your
16:27
loving arms around each each one of them
16:29
cover them with your feathers Lord and
16:32
let them find Refuge under your wings we
16:34
ask for your protection over their minds
16:37
Lord the enemy often attacks us with
16:39
thoughts of Doubt fear and
16:41
discouragement but we ask that you would
16:44
protect their thoughts and fill their
16:45
minds with peace help them to take every
16:48
thought captive and make it obedient to
16:50
Christ Let Your Truth reign in their
16:53
hearts and Minds so that they are not
16:55
swayed by the lies of the enemy we also
16:58
pray for protection over their homes and
17:00
families Lord send your angels to guard
17:02
their doorposts to stand watch over
17:05
their loved ones and to create a hedge
17:07
of protection around them we ask that
17:09
you keep them safe from harm that no
17:12
sickness no disaster no attack of the
17:15
enemy will come near their dwelling just
17:17
as you delivered the Israelites from the
17:19
hand of the Egyptians deliver them from
17:21
any threats or dangers that may be
17:23
lurking father we also pray for
17:25
protection over their Spirits strengthen
17:27
their faith so that it may may not waver
17:29
in times of trial remind them that no
17:32
matter how Fierce the battle becomes you
17:34
have already won the victory we pray
17:37
against any spirit of fear doubt or
17:40
confusion in its place we ask for a
17:43
spirit of power love and a sound mind to
17:46
dwell within them may your peace which
17:50
surpasses all understanding guard their
17:52
hearts and Minds in Christ Jesus Lord we
17:56
