Good morning covenant partners!

Did you know that God has promised supernatural PROTECTION in your life?  No matter what is going on in this world, you can be SAFE!  Psalm 91:1 says,

• He who dwells in the SECRET PLACE of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand.

Experiencing God’s divine PROTECTION starts with understanding where the “SECRET PLACE” is.  The power of death and hell and the curse of terror and fear CANNOT penetrate God’s divine PROTECTION in this “SECRET PLACE“.

This “SECRET PLACE” is not a prayer room or a building somewhere.  It’s under the shelter of Jesus’ blood.  Hebrews 10:19 says that,

• We boldly enter into the Holy Place by the blood of Jesus.

In Christ you are now in the presence of God and God’s presence is in you!  1 Corinthians 2:7 says this:

• We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom or “secret” which God has ordained before the ages for our glory.

Verse 8 goes on to say,

• Which none of the rulers of this age knew, for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Kindly notice what Paul is saying here.  He’s saying “Here’s the “secret”:  Jesus was crucified and His blood was shed to cleanse us and bring us into God’s presence.  The blood of Jesus hides us forever under the shadow of His wings.  Had the devil known that Jesus’ blood was going to tear down the separation between God and man, he would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

In Exodus 12:23, we read that they put the blood of a lamb over their door posts for supernatural PROTECTION.  It says,

• For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.

And Hebrews 12:24 says that as new covenant believers, we have better blood – the blood of Jesus, and a better covenant.

A covenant is an unbreakable promise.  By Jesus shedding His blood, He created a covenant of salvation, a covenant of healing, and A COVENANT OF PROTECTION in your life!

When you understand this mystery, this “secret”, you will never be afraid of what might happen because you will be confident in what HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.  Nothing in this world can undo ALL that Jesus did by going to the cross and sharing with us the power of His resurrection.

“Father, thank You so much for Your COVENANT OF PROTECTION for us.  You are our defense, our refuge, our high tower, and You make us dwell in safety.  You are a shield to all who trust in You.  Thank You for hiding us in the “secret” place of your presence from the plots of man.  You always keep us secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.  You are our hiding place.  Thanks for preserving us from trouble and for surrounding us with songs of deliverance.  Your loving-kindness is so precious to us, Father.  Thank You for preserving us, for keeping us alive, and for blessing us on the earth.  We thank You Father, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
