Do you know that it is possible to stay hidden in a place where the enemy cannot find you? 👀
In Psalm 91, God promises protection to those who dwell in the SECRET PLACE of the Most High, and abide under the SHADOW of the Almighty. 📖
A SECRET place is somewhere that is hidden. It is a place that is not known or seen by others. 🤫
A SHADOW is a dark area that is produced by a figure coming between beams of light and the area in front of them.☀️
1 Peter 5:8 tells us that the devil roams like a roaring lion SEEKING whom he may devour. 👀
But guess what?
The devil CANNOT find someone that is hidden in the secret place, because it is not known or seen by him. 🤫
And when he turns in their direction, dazzling light smacks him in the face, and all he can make out is the shape of the Almighty. He cannot see the person that is abiding deep under His shadow. ☀️
And the devil passes on, continuing to seek.
Isn’t that awesome?! 😍
And Psalm 91 tells us HOW to dwell in this secret place and abide under the Almighty’s shadow…
By SAYING, “Lord, you are my refuge! Lord, you are my fortress! My God, in YOU I TRUST!” (Ps. 91:2) 🗣
By SAYING, “No weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper!” (Is. 54:17)🗣
By SAYING, “No evil befalls me or my family and no plague comes near us!” (Ps. 91:10)🗣
We activate and enforce our covenant of protection with our mouth – by declaring who God is to us and our promises of protection. 📖🗣
The only ones the devil is able to find are those who step out of the secret, hidden place and reveal their whereabouts with words of fear. 😰
But it doesn’t matter if a thousand fall on one side of you and ten thousand on another side, God promises that it SHALL NOT COME NEAR those who make the Lord their refuge and fortress – the ones that SAY of the Lord! (Ps. 91:7) 🥰
That’s GOOD NEWS! 🙌🏼 #faithtalks
Hi Emily,
I’ve been a Christian many years but noone explained sufficiently about confession. Now I see how my own words caused so many problems. And I’m seeking the Lord through confession for a bright, bright future. Thank you.
Hi Liz! Praise God for revelation of this truth to you! Yes, life AND death are in the power of OUR tongues. I have a podcast series called “the Importance of Confessing The Word”, and another one called “How To Bridle Your Tongue”, where I teach further about confessing the Word and how important it is to control our tongues. They will be a big encouragement to you if you’d like to listen!
Blessings!
Emily
