Where Are We Safe?

Recently I have had many prayer request from friends and people that I know from all different areas and walks of life.  Prayer has always been a huge part of my walk with God.  Most things that I have learned in my relationship with Him, I have learned in reading the word and prayer.  Even though prayer is a passion of mine,  I am not any more unique or special to the Father than anyone else.  Just because I have those who will ask me to pray for them in my prayer time, doesn't mean that God hears my prayers anymore than yours. Why? Because God has called us all to prayer. This is how He has designed for us to learn from Him. Think of that: learn from HIM!  I think that it is amazing that God wants to teach us Himself! So how important are you? Very Important !!



So I would be honored if you will walk with me though a passage of scripture. Now mind you that I am nothing special.  God will teach you exactly the way that He wants to teach you when you lend your ear to Him. But I would like to walk you through what He has showed me, and I have prayed this samething many times over my own life and the lives of my loved ones.  As the picture above quotes Psalms 91:1 lets look at this chapter more closely.

What I have done for many years is to pray this scripture when I read it. I pray it in the 1st person context. Ps 91:1  "When I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, I shall abide in the Shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him will I trust. (3) Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

     [  Look at this image.... He really covers us! No wonder God used this metaphor to help us understand His protection ! ]

 Vs 4: You shall cover me with your feathers and under your wings I will trust; Your truth is my sheild and buckler.....      Isn't it awesome !!  We can have the assurance that no matter what is going on in our life, That God doesn't just watch out for us or over us, but we are actually safe under His wings or arms.  When I was little, there was no other place that was more assuring than sitting up under the arm of my dad or grandfather. God wants us to feel just like that!  God is our sheild and buckler.



 Vs5: I will not be afraid of the terror by night; nor the arrows that fly by day; (6) Nor the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor the destruction that wasteth at noonday; (7) A thousand shall fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand but it shall not touch me.

We have the assurance that no matter what may try to overtake us, we have a Heavenly Father who is always there to protect us and guide us, as long as we are willing to follow Him!!


Vs 8 Only with your eyes shall you see the reward of the wicked.....
 It is hard for us as humans to remember that we not to want to see destruction of a person, God loves us all and sent His son Christ Jesus for us all, but if/when judgement comes, it will be in God's timing, not ours.

Vs 9 Because I have made the LORD, who is my refuge and even the Most High my habitation,
(10) There shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling.

Vs11 For You(God) will give your angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways.

Vs 12 They shall hold me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.

Vs13 (Because of you oh God) I will tread upon the lion and the adder(cobra) the young lion and the dragon(serpent) shall I trample under my feet.









Vs14 Because I set (focused) my love upon you, you will deliver me; You will set me on high, because you know my name.

How much more provision could we possibly need!! 
Our freedom and authority of who we are in Christ will happen when the truth in this scripture becomes real to us!!!



Notice that the picture above used the pouring of water as a symbol of Holy Spirit Moving, it can also show us pouring our love out on the Father.  I believe that this is an extremely important truth.  Remember in the last entry, that water is a symbol of the Word of God.  So this reminds us that when we want to grow closer to God, and we often times do not know what to pray.  When we pray the scripture like we are right now, reminding God of what He has promised us; We are actually pouring words of faith back to God which is pouring our love back over Him as He has poured or given these words to us!!!  This is one of the most mind blowing realizations that I came to in my walk with Christ!!!!  No one taught me this..... God Himself, taught me, and He will teach you as well. We just have to make ourselves available to Him!!  I wish that you could be sitting here with me right now and know the joy that is in my spirit.
To have the honor of proclaiming HIS truth that You are so special to Him..... He has made provision for you. Look below, if you do not believe me :)                                                                
                                                                 

Vs. 15 I will call upon you (God) and you will answer me: You will be with me in trouble; You will deliver me and honor me. (16) with long life you will satisfy me and show me your salvation.



Oh how our Heavenly Father loves and cares for us!  I pray that this scripture gets way down in your spirit and blesses you today!

 I pray that you continue this journey of getting to know the Father as we walk with Him!!


Blessings to you my friend!! Have a great day !!
