God Will Run Protection For You

Sometimes God will want you to go into the battle, and then He will fight the battle through you to defeat your enemy. However, there will be other times where you will have to do absolutely nothing. God will run protection for you so that no attacks will ever come your way in the first place. God will act as a shield and fortress for you.

As you will see in the following Scripture verses, God will be:

• Your Hedge
• Your Refuge
• Your Fortress
• Your Deliverer
• Your Defense
• Your Front and Rear Guard
• Your Stronghold
• Your Strength
• Your Rock
• Your Savior
• Your Light

These verses in particular are extremely powerful, and I mean extremely powerful! These are the types of verses you will need to ground on in your walk with the Lord. These are the types of verses that can keep a lot of unnecessary attacks from ever coming your way in the first place. Quote these verses back to God the Father in your prayer life with Him. Tell Him that you will stand on the promises of these verses with full faith and belief.

Again, it would be my very strong recommendation that you either write or type all of these verses out on index cards so you can have all of them right at your fingertips should you ever need any of them for an emergency situation. These verses have the full power and anointing of God Almighty Himself on them.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” (Psalm 91:1-16)

If you will read each one of these verses one right after the other, you will really feel the power on these verses when you string them all of them together. All of these verses show us, without any shadow of a doubt, how protective God can be with His own children. However, as the last verse points out, this kind of divine protection will only be given to those who have established a true personal relationship with the Lord.
