do you realize that there are two systems in the world there are two kingdoms there's the kingdom of darkness and there's the Kingdom of Light those of us who are a part of the Kingdom of Light those of us who are a part of God's kingdom you are divinely protected God will protect you even in the midst of danger God will protect you even in the midst of chaos when things are falling apart all around you when systems are being shaken if you live in the kingdom of God if you walk by faith you are
divinely protected so know this though a thousand may fall at your side and 10,000 at your other side it won't come near to you for greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world no weapon formed against me shall prosper why because of the blood of Jesus 121st Psalm the Lord is your keeper the Lord is your shade on your right hand the sun will not Smite You by day nor the Moon by Night the Lord will protect you from all evil he will keep your soul the Lord will guard
your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever the Lord is your keeper the Lord is your shade on your right hand now what does he mean by that simply this he's is our protector God's righteous right hand that that that's the hand of the sword that's the hand of protection and so when he says that he's our shade on our right side he's simply saying this god Jehovah God infinite in listen infinite in wisdom absolute in power unwavering in his faithfulness is standing by our side when he says he is
your keeper he's your shade on your right hand what is he saying that God the Father listen God the father and the person of the Holy Spirit is always by our side living on the inside of us yes always by our side is our protector doing what always equipping us and making us ready for any satanic attack that comes our way now Satan's attack comes in all forms it comes in all directions sometimes it comes from a friend from an enemy from a family member whatever it may be but Satan is always there to attack
whether we even before we leave home during the day wherever we are s is always treacherously seeking to Devour the child of God seeking to do anything in his power he can to trip us up to cause us to hurt in some fashion in some way yet he says God is indeed our protector but many Christians are living their life right now in a state of fear and Jesus is the great Shepherd and one of the roles of a Shepherd especially the great Shepherd is to calm the Sheep and I just hear the voice of
the great Shepherd speaking through me today to his flock for you to just relax he's in the driver's seat and he has got you protected you need to understand that you're under the protection of almighty God and those that know their God and those that are righteous and those that know that God hears when they pray realize this that around your life are angels guarding and protecting you there's a head of fire around those that fear God and we are not to be afraid of the terar by day or the Arrow by night we're not
to be afraid though a thousand fall at our side and 10,000 at our left it will not come near us no plague will come near our dwelling Psalm chapter 91 you need to understand that God is going to protect you and he is protecting you and he has protected you and I feel God speaking through me to you right now saying don't be afraid I have you and so so when you pray it's powerful we need to start crying out to God for protection over our life and in my family guys this is not something
I would preach and not practice I pray for God's protection over my wife I pray for it over my kids I say God guard all that is mine God is able to protect you and when the world around you is going crazy you are under the shadow of his wings God promises to protect his people God promises to protect his people and specifically he says I will guard you along the way I was interested in that phrase because a lot of times God is guarding you from things in your life that you don't even know
you need to be guarded from God will guard you along the way but you will only see it looking back that's how life works I can look back on several phases of my life where God was protecting me with what I thought was a problem later you will see that if I had gotten what I wanted wanted when I wanted it it wouldn't have been a blessing cuz I wasn't ready but sometimes we don't see all the things that he's kept us from and brought us to I I can't even imagine how many things God
protects us from that we don't even know come on I I mean how many things does God save us from that we don't even know he saved us from another way God uses detours is to protect us from danger the road you're on it seems like the best one and then you get put on a detour and it feels like it's taking you out of the way but what you don't know is that maybe there's an accident ahead what you don't know is maybe the road is flooded out in front of you and so you're
on a detour it feels like you're taking a long way around but in reality you're being protected and what I would just say as we talk about God's Sovereign will is that I believe that this happens for us to a degree much greater than we will ever realize you know on this side of Eternity that there are ways God is protecting us that we don't get to see or recognize and so you feel like you're on this detour where your your singleness just feels like this intolerable burden like that wasn't the path it wasn't the
plan you were supposed by this time at this point in your life you thought you would be this far along and you're on this detour but you don't know what God's protected you from you don't know what God's protected you from or it it feels like you you've just been praying for a long time that you you'd find a right house and this this doesn't seem to happen and everything seems to always fall through and you've been working at it and working at it and and it's frustrating like you understand in the scheme of things
okay but but it's frustrating and you're tired and worn out but you don't you don't know what God's protecting you from you can't you can't see that some of us who've been around for a while we recognize the reality of these detours because we can see in hindsight that God protected us from things that we prayed for we we asked for certain things God said No at the time we were frustrated because it felt like a detour what we understand now is that he was protecting us from things that we just didn't realize in the
moment that when God closes a door it's not because he doesn't love us just the opposite sometimes because he does love us he closes the door sometimes God shuts a door for my protection and you think it's it's a bad thing that you lost your job or something went sideways it doesn't feel good but it's for your protection you might have gotten fired but you don't know why you got fired and it doesn't even make sense but God had a bigger [Music] plan sometimes God removes a harmful person from your life for your protection but
God knows how to shut doors to protect you and God knows how to open doors to to to bless you [Music] [Music]
