Do you need protecting? And is it you need someone/thing to do the protecting? or add to your protection?Why do you need protecting? Most important, protection from….? Identifying who/what you need protecting from is critical. And, what is it you can do to enhance your own protection?
There are many scriptures, over 30, that relate to protection, examples (AMP):
“Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11)
Though it’s God’s armor, it is we who have to put it on. The enemy is identifies, the reason for the armor is explained, and our responsibility is indicated.
“So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say, ‘The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:6)
Comfort, encouraged, confidently, not afraid – and the reason is the Lord.
“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31.6)
What we do (be strong and courageous), what we don’t do (be afraid or tremble), and the promise that the Lord will not fail or abandon us.
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:17)
This protection is summed up in the words… “No weapon…will succeed…”
These are only a few of the verses in scripture that demonstrate how protection is provided for us in every aspect of our lives. Why would we fear? We have nothing to fear – we are overcomers!
“For [a]everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world— our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].” (1 John 5:4)
