Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most-High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Under the early rain that fell on the believers on the day of Pentecost, we do not find a single recorded instance where we read of them taking up weapons to protect themselves. When Peter was arrested for preaching, the church made unceasing intercession for him, and thereby, God sent His angel to deliver him.
Similarly, under the latter rain, there is not a single scripture calling on the remnant to arm themselves with weapons, because the battle is not ours, but The Lord’s. Our preparation and our defense ought to be centered in and around Christ, and we know we can trust Him to do what’s best for His people.
The arm of flesh will fail us and we have seen clearly from the experiences of Job, that without The Lord’s defense department covering us, we do not stand a chance against the invisible forces of darkness, who are much stronger, more intelligent and experienced than we are, in planning and executing destruction.
Psalms 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
