CANOPY OF PROTECTION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 91<\/strong> is our security system.\u00a0 It is our Psalm of protection by the God of the universe.\u00a0 This Psalm is a done deal because of the finished work of Jesus.<\/p>\n

Psalm 91: 1, KJV and Amplified Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High (El Elyon) shall abide, dwell, remain stable and<\/em> fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (El Shaddai) [whose power no foe can withstand].<\/p>\n

When we abide somewhere, we dwell there.\u00a0 We are fixed unalterably, settled, set, firmly established, steadfastly dwelling in that place.\u00a0 We take up residence there.<\/p>\n

We are in the secret place of God, covered by Him, sheltered under His wings like little chicks are under the mother hen.\u00a0 In Psalm 27:5<\/strong> we read that in the day of trouble He hides us in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent He hides us; He sets us high upon a rock.\u00a0 In Psalm 119:114 we read that He is our hiding place and our shield; we hope in His Word.<\/p>\n

The shadow of the Almighty is His glory.\u00a0 We read in Isaiah 4:5<\/strong> that over all, (that means you and me) the glory shall be a canopy, a defense of divine love and protection.\u00a0 His glory is our canopy of defense and protection.\u00a0 His glory is His love expressed and revealed for all to see.\u00a0 We can be here on this earth inside the glory of God, a protection over us and around us.\u00a0 Yes, God is our protection.\u00a0 His power no foe can withstand—-absolutely no foe.\u00a0 No one can stand against Him or His children, when we stay fixed in Him.<\/p>\n

The protection of His glory, of His presence comes as we worship Him.\u00a0 We dwell in the secret place of the Most High God WHOSE SHADOW no foe can withstand.\u00a0 Once again, I repeat; His shadow is His glory or His power as a canopy over us as His defense for us of His divine love and protection.\u00a0 There is no enemy or foe that can stand against us in God\u2019s Presence.\u00a0 That is forbidden territory for the enemy.\u00a0 He cannot even come near the Presence of God.<\/p>\n

When we are in God\u2019s Presence, through worshipping Him, we cannot be touched by the enemy.\u00a0 Satan may try to deceive us and lie to us and tell us that we can be touched.\u00a0 Oh, no, no, no.\u00a0 That would be contrary to the Word of God that we have just read.\u00a0 We are protected as we walk out our victory over whatever comes against us.<\/p>\n

Two more scriptures seal our knowledge that we are protected by God.\u00a0 1 John 5:18 makes this statement about those of us who are born or begotten of God:\u00a0 God carefully watches over and protects us; Christ\u2019s divine presence within us preserves us against the evil and the wicked one does not lay hold, get a grip on us or touch us.\u00a0 In Luke 10:19 we read that Jesus said that He gives us power to tread on serpents and scorpions (demonic powers) and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm or hurt us.<\/p>\n

We are protected by Almighty God.<\/p>\n
