The Protection of His Presence
In Isaiah 4:5 in the Amplified Bible we read this in the last part of the verse: …”for over all the glory shall be a canopy (a defense of divine love and protection).”
You hook that verse with Psalm 91:1 regarding the shadow of the Almighty God, and you see the protection of His glory, of His Presence, which comes as we worship Him. We dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, WHOSE SHADOW no foe can withstand. That shadow is God’s glory or His power. His power is like a canopy over us, defending us. His Glory is His defense for us of His divine love and protection.
When we are in the Presence of the Lord, there is no enemy who can touch us. In fact, Jesus told us in Luke 10:19 that He has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions (demonic forces) and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm us or hurt us. Satan may try to deceive us and lie to us and tell us that we can be touched, but that would be contrary to the Word of God. We are protected as we walk out our victory over whatever comes against us.
Know that God is your protection. He is always there with you to defend you and keep you from evil or evil ones harming you. Believe Him! Trust Him! He is your Defense and Strong Tower of Refuge. His glory is His presence manifested or made visible for you. His glory is the FULLNESS of HIS LOVE expressed on your behalf. His divine love never fails. Know that He is guarding you and protecting you, regardless of what may come against you. Place your life in His hands. You are His responsibility. He is your Defender.
Personalized Confession:
God has spread His glory over me like a canopy. It is my defender against all the wiles of the enemy. His love is sheltering me and protecting me from all the plans that satan has set against me. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, in His glory, in His presence. God has given me authority over all the power of the enemy. He cannot touch me. I am hidden beneath the wings of my Savior. I am free.
