Psalms 91 TLB
We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. 2 This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. 3 For he rescues you from every trap and protects you from the fatal plague. 4 He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you. His faithful promises are your armor. 5 Now you don’t need to be afraid of the dark anymore, nor fear the dangers of the day; 6 nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning. 7 Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. 8 I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it. 9 For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. 10 How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? 11 For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. 12 They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. 13 You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet! 14 For the Lord says, “Because he loves me, I will rescue him; I will make him great because he trusts in my name. 15 When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him in trouble and rescue him and honor him. 16 I will satisfy him with a full life and give him my salvation.”
Luke 10:19 NLT
Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.
This is an amazing song filled with God’s promise of protection and a long good life. In the Old Testament the Patriots had types and shadows of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. In the New Covenant, we have the reality. Jesus Christ is our secret place. Jesus Christ is our place of safety. He is our protection and with his stripes we are healed from every disease. Jesus is our Jehovah Rapha: the Lord our healer. We don’t have to fear the enemy, he can’t touch us. We are protected and secure in our Union with Jesus Christ. The Old Covenant was great, but the New Covenant is far better than the old because we enjoy the reality of Jesus Christ. The enemy could not touch Jesus Christ therefore, he cannot touch us. He can roar, try and put sickness, disease, and poverty on us, but we don’t listen to his Roar neither do we allow sickness and disease to camp out in our body. We know Jesus Christ paid the price for us to be free from the authority of the devil and nothing can harm us in Christ Jesus (Luke 10:19). In our union with Christ Jesus, we are untouchable. Enjoy a long, good life in Christ. You are untouchable!
Prayer – Thank you Father for the security I have in Jesus Christ. I am protected, I have Divine health, and you satisfy me with a good, long, and prosperous life. What a great God and savior you are. For sickness I have divine health, for poverty I have Kingdom wealth because of my union with Christ. I thank you Father for your never-ending goodness to me. In the wonderful name of Jesus Christ my savior!
