Divine Comfort, Care, and Protection
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalms 91:1
In this chapter God paints the picture of His oversight, His divine watch care, His provision and His protection over His beloved people. Each verse is this amazing chapter is inseparable connected to and anchored in the very first verse – which is the divine thesis statement for the whole chapter. As is the divine case made throughout Holy Scripture, it’s all about relationship! See also Jeremiah 17:12, John 17:3, and Philippians 3:10.
Read Psalm 91. GOD made this very creature/bird (pictured) for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, and protects His own (Ps 91:1).
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Psalms 91:4
As the bird covers its chicks under its wings for warmth and protection, so God covers His children – those who choose to “dwelleth in the secret place of the most high,” taking refuge under the shadow of His wings (Psalms 91:1). GOD made the “winged fowl” (birds) for the express purpose of showing His highest creation – mankind – how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, and protects His own (Genesis 1:21; Psalms 91:1).
Read Psalm 91 and make it a passage you revisit often so that the truth of it begins to permeate your whole disposition. Here the LORD uses the imagery of His “winged fowl” creation (Genesis 1:21). GOD made this very creature/bird for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, and protects His own (Psalms 91:1).
One of the main reasons and perhaps the very reason the LORD created birds, was to demonstrate to us in tangible form, just how much He loves and cares for His children. You and I have NO earthly idea how much He loves us …. not a clue!
The LORD created this very species (birds) for perhaps many reasons and one was to show us exactly how much He loves us and protects, shelters, comforts, provides and cares for, and blesses His beloved children.

Speaking of His love and protection over His beloved children, here’s another picture He gives us in His blessed Word:
“As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.” Psalms 125:2
Those who attempt to do harm to the LORD’s people will be contended with by the Almighty Himself.
Isaiah 49:15 tells us: “for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.”
In fact, we are told by our LORD that He actually becomes the enemy and adversary to those who take up cause against His children:
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.” Exodus 23:22
Note the conditional key here in the above passage – obedience. – “IF thou shalt indeed obey his voice.”
With Job, the LORD’s children can say with all confidence:
“He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. 21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.” Job 5:19-22
Dare we break out those 7 “troubles” we all face that God promises to “deliver” us from? Let’s do it from the above passage:
- “In famine he shall redeem thee from death”
- “in war from the power of the sword”
- “Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue”
- “neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh” (no fear or terror)
- “At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh”
- “At … famine thou shalt laugh”
- “neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.”
IF Satan is attacking, take cover! Memorize Proverbs 1:33 today.
I love what our LORD promises us in Proverbs 1:33:
“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33
Does it interest you to “dwell safely, and (shall) be quiet from fear of evil”? Think upon this verse. Your life cannot remain the same, if you do.
The only way to “hearkeneth” to the LORD is to tend diligently and daily upon His blessed Precepts – to tuck our lives under the infinite shadow of His wings. It is in the comfort of His Word that we shall not be offended by anything, being possessed with the knowledge, the living revelation that He has all things under His care.
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3
Safest Place: In the cross of Christ “your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3)
Our place of protection is in the love walk, with the LORD where we express our love for Him in obedience to Him.
“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4
Are you ready for some “Great peace”?
“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Psalms 119:165
The “Great peace” of God is exclusively reserved for those who love His Word. They will not be moved, afraid, or offended! They are settled in the unchanging divine love and Word of God.
The All-Encompassing, Predominant Love of God Upon His Children
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:31-39
There is nothing that can separate us from His love. We did nothing to earn it, we can do nothing to keep it, and we shall experience it forever, if we abide with Christ to the end (John 15:1-6). In fact, Jude wrote that we must keep ourselves in God’s love:
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21
In great gratitude, letting all concerns and desires known to our Father in humble prayer “requests” (“supplication”) is essential to experiencing the “peace … which passeth all understanding.”
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” Philippians 4:6-9
Here, our LORD’s apostle instructs us to “think on these things”:
- “whatsoever things are true”
- “honest”
- “just”
- “pure”
- “lovely”
- “whatsoever things are of good report”
- “if there be any virtue”
- “if there be any praise”
This fixed gaze upon the LORD, setting Him always before our faces, is found throughout God’s Word and coincides with what Paul penned to the believers at Colosse, when He wrote:
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4
Essential to readiness when Jesus returns, is to have the affections of our hearts set upon Him as we “seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.”
The key is to perpetually dwell “in the secret place of the most high,” never departing from His will and therefore His blessed, divine presence (Psalms 91:1). Therein – in the perfect place of fellowship with Christ, are all the blessings of God contained (2 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 2:9-10, etc.).
“The secret of peace within and power without, is to be always and only occupied with Christ.” E. Schuyler
“For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” Psalms 61:3-4
Joshua Cooper notes:
“Jesus Christ is our Peace, Protection and Provider, no matter what. So, get with Him, stay with Him, never depart from Him, and stay strong to the finish. We should all want to hear, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.’”
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You so very much for loving me – for loving all of mankind. Thank You for finding and saving my wretched soul! Thank You for Your peace that passeth all understanding! I love You Jesus and thank You for coming to die for me – for my sins – so I could be brought into relationship with You and the Father. Thank You for finding and saving me and for all of your blessings, including Your peace, prosperity, and Your protection. In Jesus’ name. I humbly ask you to please use me to help others know you! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Read the Handwriting

A weary mother returned from the store,
lugging groceries through the kitchen door.
Awaiting her arrival was her eight-year-old son,
anxious to relate what his younger brother had done.
“While I was out playing and Dad was on a call,
T.J. took his crayons and wrote on the wall!
It’s on the new paper you just hung in the den.
I told him you’d be mad at having to do it again.”
She let out a moan and furrowed her brow.
“Where is your little brother right now?”
She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride,
She marched to his closet where he had gone to hide.
She called his full name as she entered his room,
He trembled with fear — he knew that meant doom!
For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved
about the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved.
Lamenting all the work it would take to repair,
she condemned his actions and total lack of care.
The more she scolded, the madder she got.
Then stomped from his room, totally distraught!
She headed for the den to confirm her fears,
When she saw the wall her eyes flooded with tears.
The message she read pierced her soul with a dart.
It said, “I love Mommy,” surrounded by a heart.
Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it,
with an empty picture frame hung to surround it.
A reminder to her, and indeed to all,
take time to read the handwriting on the wall !!!!

If you truly desire to know more about how to really know the LORD, go here okay: Born Again: What is It?
YOUR CHILD is your heritage from God not money or materialism!!!!! (Psalms 127-128) WHAT King James Bible verse(s) are you teaching you child today? PARENTS who aren’t teaching their children literal SCRIPTURE in God’s love and joy today are out of God’s will. Repentance needed. Are you misleading your own children by teaching them to be “good church goers” OR authentic disciples who truly walk daily with Jesus? The LORD never told anyone to “let the local church teach your children”! That is the work of a counterfeit. YOU train your own precious children in God’s Word – instead of making them a churchianity hypocrite! Are you an authentic disciple or a typical counterfeit church goer?
Time to thoroughly TEACH OUR CHILDREN GOD’S LITERAL WORD – THE HOLY SCRIPTURES!!!!!!

The Blessing of Being Born of God, Born Again [podcast]

QUESTION:
“What does it mean to be ‘born again’?”
REPLY:
Great question. I am praying for you now. Born again is the same as regeneration we see in Titus 3:5-7. When the sinner (ALL of us) comes to God humbly, in repentance, turning his life to the LORD, and putting all of his faith now in Jesus Christ alone, God does a miracle in the person’s life—a change on the inside that is unmistakable and transforms that persons nature and life forever. From that moment onward, Christ reigns in that person’s life, filling him with love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). The LORD works from the inside out. First He saves, washes our sins away, and then dwells in that newly saved, born again temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
To be born again you have to go to God directly…. admitting you have sinned against Him, and receive Jesus into your life. It has to be personal. Religions are designed to keep you from God while claiming to be the way to God. Beware.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (2nd birth).” John 3:7
“The birth for which Christ contends is from above—by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Every man must have two births, one from heaven, the other from earth—one of his body, the other of his soul: without the first he cannot see nor enjoy this world, without the last he can not see nor enjoy the kingdom of God. As there is an absolute necessity that a child should be born into the world, that he may see its light, contemplate its glories, and enjoy its good, so there is an absolute necessity that the soul should be brought out of its state of darkness and sin, through the light and power of the grace of Christ, that it may be able to see, or to discern, the glories and excellencies of the kingdom of Christ here, and be prepared for the enjoyment of the kingdom of glory hereafter. The Jews had some general notion of the new birth; but, like many among Christians, they put the acts of proselytism, baptism, etc., in the place of the Holy Spirit and his influence: they acknowledged that a man must be born again; but they made that new birth to consist in profession, confession, and external washing.
The new birth which is here spoken of comprehends, not only what is termed justification or pardon, but also sanctification or holiness. Sin must be pardoned, and the impurity of the heart washed away before any soul can possibly enter into the kingdom of God. As this new birth implies the renewing of the whole soul in righteousness and true holiness, it is not a matter that may be dispensed with: heaven is a place of holiness, and nothing but what is like itself can ever enter into it.” Adam Clarke
“I can remember after getting saved my friends and my family immediately saying What happened to her?’ There was an immediate and complete change in me. God cleaned me from the inside out. I was made brand new and people noticed. My family asked ‘What has happened to her?’ Does anyone know? Yes! Jesus happened to me! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran
YOUR PRAYER TO GOD TO BE SAVED, TO BE FORGIVEN
Are You Ready to be Saved? Okay here’s a prayer to be God’s child. You have to admit the obvious, that you have sinned against God and turn to Him fully, turn your life over to Him who made you, and confess Jesus Christ as the new LORD and Savior of your life. Pray this …
Your Prayer to God … You must honestly admit your sins and receive Christ… Apply His holy blood to your life so that you may be saved, forgiven, and live eternally with Him. You must completely turn your life over to Him in repentance and faith. Now, pray the following prayer to God with all that is within you, from your heart and out loud:….
Dear heavenly Father, right now, if never before, I come to You as a broken and sinful person. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die in my place for my sins. Thank You Jesus for coming to this earth to die and rise again to rescue me from sin and eternal hell and to save me for Your eternal glory. Right this moment, if never before, I receive You LORD Jesus. Come in and take over my whole life. I am all Yours and You are all mine. I love You Jesus and I will follow You from this moment forward till I am with You in Heaven forever! Please use me to help others know You dear LORD. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
How do we know someone is “born of God”?
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; … Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, 20
First off, if you are born again you are changed from the inside out … you desire to do God’s will now…. and are learning the need for the cross, the daily crucified life (Luke 9:23-25).
Let us remember that the biblical words “born again” (John 3:3, 7), “born of God” (1 John 4:7), “regeneration,” and being a “new creature” in Christ go hand in hand or we can say, are synonymous.
“Born of God” appears 6 times in God’s Word and are all found in the book of 1 John:
1 John 3:9
Whosoever is BORN OF GOD doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is BORN OF GOD.
Those who are “born of God” do not live in sin. They repent or return (turn back) to the LORD, confessing all sin. If not they will “fall away” and be outside of Christ (Luke 8:13). See Can a Born Again Man be Un-Born Again? [podcast]
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is BORN OF GOD, and knoweth God.
Those who are “born of God” walk in His love toward others.
1 John 5:1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
Those who repent and believe upon Christ are “born of God” and they love all other of Christ’s saints.
1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Those who are “born of God” overcome this fallen world. By present and perpetual faith, they “overcometh the world.”
1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is BORN OF GOD sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Those “born of God” do not live in sin. Rather, they “keepeth” themselves from sin and therefore Satan. This is accomplished by what we read in 1 John 1 and 2—which spells out the walk of the true disciple of Jesus.
MAY GOD bless each disciple of Jesus today to abide in Christ by walking crucified and raised up by Him today (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). May “the fruit of the Spirit”—the “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance” be abundantly produced in the life of every saint of Jesus! May it be 100 fold LORD! Read John 15. If you have been drawn in by Christ (John 6:44; 12:32), have repented (Luke 13:3), have received Christ (John 1:12), and are born again (John 3:3), you are bought by the precious blood of the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:17-18).
YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You found and saved me into Your eternal kingdom by way of the precious blood of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I stop this life here and now, and I give You praise. I love You LORD Jesus. I am no longer my own but Yours. I am crucified with Christ. Please work in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. I am all Yours LORD and I know You are all mine! Please fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost afresh, and please use me. In Jesus’ name, amen Master Jesus!

From brother Juan:
“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan
