Various talks about articles in news dealing with war, the up coming one and World War 2
The Circle of protection and the Circle of refuge. We will look at Psalm 25
We have a shelter that is ours for the taking. You must take the refuge the same way that you took Jesus as your savior.
There are keywords that bring us protection - Reverence and Honor to God - that is what causes your shield and armour to be up and on. You must have a life that you can hear God speak to you and do what you are told to do. Holiness is another word. Things that you have planted will come to harvest. Dig up those bad things now.
Psalm 25 [TLB]
4 Show me the path where I should go, O Lord; point out the right road for me to walk.
God can tell you how to travel to work.
5 Lead me; teach me; for you are the God who gives me salvation. I have no hope except in you.
6,7 Overlook my youthful sins; O Lord! Look at me instead through eyes of mercy and forgiveness, through eyes of everlasting love and kindness.
8 The Lord is good and glad to teach the proper path to all who go astray;
God always has the best way for you.
9 he will teach the ways that are right and best to those who humbly turn to him.
10 And when we obey him, every path he guides us on is fragrant with his loving kindness and his truth.
11 But Lord, .my sins! How many they are. Oh, pardon them for. the honor of your name.
12 Where is the man who fears the Lord? God will teach him how to choose the best.
13 He shall live within God's circle of blessing, and his children shall inherit the earth.
14 Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him. With them alone he shares the secrets of his promises.
15 My eyes are ever looking to the Lord for help, for he alone can rescue me.
Get that word, circle, of blessing.
16 Come, Lord, and show me your mercy, for I am helpless, overwhelmed, in deep distress;
17 my problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!
18 See my sorrows; feel my pain; forgive my sins.
19 See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me!
20 Save me from them! Deliver my life from their power! Oh, let it never be said that I trusted you in vain!
Here is your bodyguard:
21 Assign me Godliness and Integrity as my bodyguards, for I expect you to protect me
It will be your body guard.
22 and to ransom Israel from all her troubles.
Separate yourself and you will be separated.
Psalm 91 (AMP)
Ps 91:1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
There is a place that only those who are in Christ can live. The world cannot know about it. You do not need a man to cover you when God is covering you. Man will let you down, God will not.
Ps 91:2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
You have to take God as your refuge. Verse 1 tells you what the promise is. Verse 2 tells you how to take that refuge. Say it and take it.
Ps 91:3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
When you say it you will be covered.
Ps 91:4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
Without His truth you cannot know what the promises are. The promises are there and will protect you. You have to have truth before you know what to stand on.
Proverbs 35 Every word of God is pure, He is a shield to them that put there trust in Him.
Hebrew commentary has said..
v. 3 He will cover you with his pinions - you have taken your seat under, you can not be pulled out.
shield - protects its wearer incompletely on three sides, buckler - armour totally surrounds you completely, it circles you
The start of David - it was called a shield of David. (Psalm 3:4 God is a shield to David. David found security not in any armour or shield in the natural - only in God did he find himself encircled. He was shielded from North, South, East, and West as well as Up and Down. Covered on six sides, just as the star is. You are protected from all directions when you have the armour.
Ps 27:5 AMP For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.
Ps 27:6 AMP And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
Know that God has a plan for you no matter what is going wrong in your life. God is your source for healing, protection, etc. What ever man can do, man can undo, what ever God can do, man cannot undo it. Do not look at what you have lost, look at what you have gained (God).
Get the picture of God circling you. Like a crown that surrounds your head on all side.
It is your protection. It is a tangible thing. Look up and learn the scriptures that talk about your protection in God. Get out of fear, and get in faith in your shield and armour.
Attach yourself to God. Be like a shadow is to a man and mimic what he does.
