I carry a gun… I want to be able to protect my family, my church and those who are unable to protect themselves… Its concealed, I don’t flaunt it… life is not very enjoyable if you do not have protection.

 

Vasthi…. who is it. 

 

 

We do a lot to have protection, carry a gun, take classes, watch your surroundings, we spend a lot of money…

But why… because it is not about protections but rather safety. We want to feel safe. 

 

Have you ever heard a pilot confess that every landing is a controlled crash… its kind of true. A massive multi ton piece of metal filled with 100’s of gallons of incredibly combustible fuel with a few hundred people riding on it about 40k feet up in the sky… what could go wrong, and how would one get this to the ground….

 

Life sometimes feels like it is falling from the sky, but we are told we have Gods protection. How do we access it? Through a consistent life of prayer. 

 

Listen…Psalms 91:1-2 (KJV) 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under 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.

Marge and I claim Psalms 91 when every we fly and travel. I heard that every landing is a controlled crash, when I heard that I confess and declare every time we take off and when we land. Psalms 91:11-12 (KJV) For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Marge and I have flown a couple thousand flights equal to over 10 round trips to the moon. We have claimed God’s protection and the prayers of the saints. Thank you for praying for us.

I declare and decree that no weapon former against me shall prosper and all those who rise up against me shall fall. I declare that I am the head and not the tail, that all His promises in the covenant with Abraham are mine. His thoughts of me are of good and not of evil. I abide under His shadow and He covers me with His wings. I shall not fear the terror by night or the pestilence at daytime. He is my shield and my buckler.

He is my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust and not be afraid. He has not given us the spirit of fear but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind. We have power over all principalities, rulers of darkness and the enemy himself.

 

But these are just words unless you activate them with faith… and that comes from knowing God’s faithfulness… from knowing God intimately. 

Look we understand from PS. 23 and other scriptures we are his sheep and he is our shepherd. Sheed fall into danger and   out of protection in a few obvious ways. 

By trying to provide for themselves

by trying to protect themselves

By trying to lead themselves

by trying to save themselves

 

They can’t do any of those and that is why they need a shepherd… ALL THE TIME. They must not just have a shepherd, but they must be in the shepherds presence all the time. 

When scripture says pray at all times… 1 These. 5:17 it is saying practice the presence of God… staying in his presence.
