Psalm 91

“When I sit safely under the shadow of El Shaddai, the Great, “I Am”, I’m hidden in the strength of God, the Most High. He’s the hope that holds me, and the Stronghold that shelters me, He is the only God that I serve, in Him I have great Confidence. He will rescue me from every hidden trap of the enemy, and he will protect me from false accusation, and any deadly curse. His massive arms are wrapped around me, protecting me. I can run under His cover of majesty and find protection. His arms of faithfulness are a shield, keeping me from harm. I will never worry about an attack from demonic forces at night, neither, will I fear a spirit of darkness coming against me.

I don’t fear a thing ! Whether by night or by day, demonic presence will not trouble me, nor, will any powers of evil that are launched against me, succeed. For God will keep me safe and secure; The enemy can’t lay a hand on me. Even in a time of disaster,, with thousands and thousands being killed, I will be untouched and unharmed ! I’ll be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment, for they will be paid back for what they have done, by God Himself ! When I live my life within the shadow of the Most High God, MY Secret Hiding Place, I will always be shielded from harm ! How then could evil prevail against me, or disease infect me ? God sends angels with special orders to protect me, wherever I go, defending me from all harm.

If I walk into a trap, they’ll be there for me and keep me safe from danger ! I’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them under MY feet !!! This is what the Lord has told me:

‘Because you have been happy with Me and loved Me, I will greatly protect you. I will set you in a high place, safe and secure, where I can watch you. I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will find Me and feel My presence, even in your time of pressure and trouble. I will be your glorious Savior and give you a feast ! You will be satisfied with a full life and thankful for all that I do for you, For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!’” I love you, Jesus…
