SEVEN DEFENSE WALLS

MEMORIZE: "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler" (Psalms 91:4)

 READ: Psalms 125:1-3

In 2 Kings 6:17, Elisha prayed that the eyes of his servant be opened. God heard and his servant saw the heavenly hosts which surrounded the invading Syrian army, and fear disappeared from his heart. Every bonafide believer is entitled to a special divine security provision consisting of seven walls. No enemy can penetrate this formidable security system whenever it is in place. The first of these walls is the blood of Jesus Christ. Apart from cleansing from sin, the blood of Jesus forms a wall of protection around every child of God. How often do you come under the blood of Jesus? Another wall is the wall of fire. Zechariah 2:5 says God will become a fiery wall around His children. You may not see it but there is a wall of fire around you as long as you live holy.

 

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them” (Psalms 34:7). If you fear God and keep His Word, you can be sure of an angelic camping zone around you. This covers all you have. Nothing evil will come near your dwelling place, because of this wall of defense. Besides, the name of the Lord is another wall that can secure the righteous. Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe”. If you are not born again, the Name of Jesus will work for you out of mercy. But if you are born again and you are not living in sin, call on that Name and the wall of protection will automatically respond.

 

According to Psalms 91:1, God’s shadow is another wall that if you come under, you have nothing to fear. In addition, the wall of His wings according to Psalms 91:4 is very reliable. It never disappoints those who put their trust in it. The wall of His presence is very important. Many believers have tares and hindrances, or fall into dangerous situations just because they keep away from  the presence of God. If you can regularly come into His presence at home and in church, and spend quality time there, no evil can penetrate God’s presence to harm you. All evils keep out of God’s presence. To what extent are you enjoying these walls of protection? They are not for decoration. They are there to protect you from the lions and Herods of the earth. Come under them today!

 


ACTIONPOINT: Make conscious use of these walls of defense from today. Pray for the greatest move of God during this year's Holy Ghost Congress.
