Isaiah 54:17a:
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” (KJV)
There are some people in this world who are just plain
mean and nasty. Their behavior is sociopathic and their evil is deep
rooted. We see countless examples of parents who starve, abuse and
torture their children or men who would kill their estranged wives rather than
see them happy with someone else. We hear reports of genocide for the
sake of a few parcels of land and we tremble when we learn of unprovoked public
shootings.
As
children of the Most High God we hear of these conditions and our hearts have
empathy, care, concern and sympathy for the victims, their families and the
populace at large; but our mind set should still be that we are protected. Life
is not without its trials and perils and surely there are those whose actions negatively
impinge upon our lives; but we must not resort to becoming agoraphobic and
sequester ourselves away from living. We have alarm systems, closed circuit
cameras, guard dogs, and motion sensor flood lights canvasing our properties,
but have we covered our domicile with the blood of Jesus? Have you prayed
at your front door and rebuked any negative powers that might try to enter
whether on their own or trailing along with guests who harbor negative energies
with them? Have you anointed the rooms and hallways of your home and
invited guardian angels to reside with you? Have you blessed the beds
that you and your children sleep in and asked God to put his hedge of
protection around you from not only illness, but fire, burglary and
abuse? It might sound funny, but I would rather depend on an
‘all-present’ God than to wait on the response time of the police to my burglar
alarm. Don’t get it twisted…people are nuts…keep your security system intact,
but put your trust in God!
Every day is a good
day it is up to us to make it a GREAT power-filled day. Be blessed! Dr.
