God’s Protection

Here are some scriptures for God’s protection:

Psalm 121:1-3
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Psalm 18:39
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Jesus used the Word of God to defeat Satan in the wilderness. You can probably recall the story. After Jesus had fasted 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness (Matthew 4:2), the devil approached him. The answer Jesus gave to every one of Satan’s temptations was “It is written” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10) Jesus effectively used the “sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesaisn 6:12); therefore Satan was defeated.

These scriptures from the Word of God will help you get victory. Here’s a simple approach to get started. First, identify the specific scriptures that are relevant to your situation – employment, healing, financial breakthrough, debt cancellation, etc. Write those scriptures down and memorize at least two key scriptures. During the day and as you rise and prepare to go to sleep, repeat those scriptures out loud. Continue to read the scriptures out loud on a daily basis to firmly establish your faith.

You may be wondering why it is necessary to read the scriptures out loud. The answer is clearly explained by Jesus in Matthew 17:20 when Jesus told His disciples to speak to the mountain; the mountain is symbolic of seemingly immovable circumstances or problems. The book of Hebrews states that the “worlds were framed by the word of God.” (Hebrews 11:3) A review of the story of creation in Genesis reveals that what God spoke came into existence: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. ” (Genesis 1:3) The book of Proverbs teaches that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21). Words have impact; therefore, speaking God’s Word consistently is critical.

Feel free to study the following scriptures, print them out, study and begin utilizing them in your daily prayer time.
