Feathers of Protection





Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.This I declare about the Lord:He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trapand protect you from deadly disease.He will cover you with his feathers.He will shelter you with his wings.His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side,though ten thousand are dying around you,these evils will not touch you.(Psalm 91:1-7)



This scripture is so near and dear to me. It's alive it's personal, the Lord allowed me to witness it first hand with my grandmother before she died. Here's my testimony....



My grandmother was sick during this time and she wasn't really getting better but, one night I had prayed to the Lord for her health and went to sleep. That night the Lord gave me a dream of Angels coming into the house I was in. My grandmother was in a chair sitting down and my mom was standing beside her. My grandmother was shining brightly in the dream I knew the glory of God was on her but, I started hearing a noise that sounded like wind. It sounded like birds were flapping in my ear so I went and hid underneath a chair. The noise got louder and louder and I remember saying "their coming" When I got up from under the chair there were so many white angel wings on the floor and I then I knew God's angels of protection had visited us then I woke up. At the time I thought God was preparing to take my grandmother home because the next day her health got extrememly better but, then the news came that my aunt & cousins(my grandmothers dauther & nieces) were killed in a head on collision. Something none of us was expecting. I instantly realized that God was protecting my grandmother from this news until he was ready for her to go home to glory. This scripture and that season has forever changed my life. I'm humble that God would give me a first hand experience with this scripture. God will protect you if you make him your shelter. My grandmother understood this and she always taught us God's protection as well. I pray that you are encouraged by this testimony and choose today to believe and trust God to protect you no matter what you are facing.


God Bless,

Submission





In the process we get taught so many things. As I sit here almost a month later from posting so much has happened and so much has changed within me. Change for the good change that can only be walked out not put into words. Change that's eternal. God's love always brings about change in the most wonderful and strange ways. Sometimes we fight that change because we are so used to doing things in our own understanding and not in the understanding of God. So God brings about change that makes you take your focus off self and put your entire focus on him. His plans His purpose for your life. It gets hard sometimes to embrace the change but, it's necessary to see any growth in God. You have to submit to his leading and walk through the process. In your walking humility will come, in your walking more faith will come and in your walking wisdom will come. Come to take up residance in your way of living and most importantly in your heart. So embrace the change Submit to the Process and watch God bring about a Glorious Work in your life.......


It's just a process it's not the end of your story....



Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.(James 4:10)

No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.(James 4:7)
