Expect God's Protection

 Expect God's Protection




We should expect God's protection, and thank Him for it.


But we must remember that we receive from God by faith. So if we don't believe God will protect us, we are, in effect, hindering God's protection.


So we need to feed our faith on the promises of the Bible concerning God's protection for His people. There are many, but here are two.


ISAIAH 54:17 GWN 17 No weapon that has been made to be used against you will succeed. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you. This is the inheritance of the LORD's servants. Their victory comes from me," declares the LORD.


LUKE 10:19 NKJ 19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Then we also need to express our faith in thanks to God every day for His protection. The ninety-first Psalm can help us do this. I suggest you make it personal and speak it often.


CONFESSION BASED ON PSALM 91 NLT 1 I live in the shelter of the Most High so I will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. 3 For he will rescue me from every trap and protect me from deadly disease. 4 He will cover me with his feathers. He will shelter me with his wings. His faithful promises are my armor and protection. 5 I will not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6 I will not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, these evils will not touch me. 8 I can just open my eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. 9 I make the LORD my refuge, I make the Most High my shelter, 10 so no evil will conquer me; no plague will come near my home. 11 For he will order his angels to protect me wherever I go. 12 They will hold me up with their hands so I won't even hurt my foot on a stone. 13 I will trample upon lions and cobras; I will crush fierce lions and serpents under my feet! 14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. 16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation."


SAY THIS: Thank You Lord for protecting me and my family today.

Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith

  Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith MESSAGE FROM PRINCE EUDES  Our efforts may at times look like failures, but that doesn’t mean God has stopped working through us to achieve His purposes. November 11, 2023 James 1:2-4 Is there someone with whom you’ve consistently but unsuccessfully tried to share Jesus? It can be disheartening, but God’s Word encourages us to not grow weary of doing good ( 2 Thess. 3:13 ). That’s the third way to pass along your faith: perseverance. Yesterday we read about how to tell loved ones about Jesus through our actions, but doing something once or even a few times isn’t enough. There must be consistency. Does what you believe have merit in small situations as well as in major ones? Do you still trust God in those times when circumstances look impossible? How do you react when things don’t go your way? What do you do when life gets tough? Do you keep loving others no matter what? Don’t be discouraged or feel guilty when you fall short. We all are ...

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

 Lord, Teach Us to Pray Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are. November 12, 2023 Matthew 9:35-38 When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration. As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying. And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attem...

To See the Glory of God’s Purposes

 To See the Glory of God’s Purposes The light of Christ provides hope, love, and power to overcome any darkness. January 2, 2024 Ephesians 1:18-19 If you’ve ever stumbled through your house in the dark, then you know that even perfect vision is useless without light. But flip a switch, and everything suddenly becomes much clearer. That’s what Paul’s getting at when he prays “that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened” (Eph. 1:18). It’s not a prayer for some kind of spiritual X-ray vision; rather, he’s asking that God enable the Ephesians to view everything they experience in the best light of all—His light. What did they need to see? The scope and richness of salvation in Christ. First, it’s grounded in hope, something the Ephesians didn’t have before their encounter with Jesus. They’d been outside God’s kingdom, but as a result of His calling, they became His people. That reality transformed not only their future but also their present. Now, as God’s treasured people, they wer...
