Under the Protection of God's Word

“Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God” - Ephesians 6:17.

Paul tells us plainly that the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.

The weapon that we are to use to defeat all our foes in this earthly walk is the Bible, provided for us by our Heavenly Father. The Holy Scriptures that have been penned by the prophets and divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit for our learning, is the blade that will cut through every attack from the enemy. As the writer of Hebrews states: "For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart”, and every portion of Scripture points to the LORD Yeshua Messiah, for He is the Living Word.

Every Word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to Him for protection” (Proverbs 30:5). We learned that the Word of the LORD is trustworthy and true, and though the fulfilment of God's Word may tarry, we should wait for it patiently for it will surely come.

The history of Israel is replete with examples where God protected His people from evildoers and those that would destroy them. His pillar of fire led them safely through the wilderness and the cloudy column of God hid them from the advancing Egyptian forces. Underneath were the everlasting arms of God which bore them up on eagle's wings, and He sent His terror ahead of His people to throw their enemies into confusion.

Moses was hidden in a basket of bulrushes, and Sarah was protected in the palace of the king. No surprise that the Psalmist would write: "You are my hiding place and You are my shield."

The LORD is no less our Shield and Hiding Place in this sin-sick world in which we live. He is still our Rock of defense and our Strong Tower in these troublesome times, and His precious promises to all His children continue to be 'Yes' and 'Amen'. There is true security in trusting in the almighty God of our salvation, we also can rejoice that we who dwell under the shelter of our God and Savior are shielded and protected under the shadow of His wing. He is our Safeguard and our strong Shield. He is our Defense and our Almighty Defender. The LORD is likened to a bird whose wings of protection overshadow us and whose strong-arm guards us when danger approaches or when we are overcome by the heat of the day or the perils of the night.

God will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection (Psalm 91:4).

God Can Accelerate His Plans

“You have kept the good wine until now! – John 2:10 NKJV

Yeshua’s first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding reception there were six water pots each capable of holding thirty gallons. First, He said, “Fill those pots with water”.  Next He said, :Take some out and bring it to the host of the party.” When the host tasted it he told the groom, “This is amazing. Everyone serves the best wine first, and after people have had a lot to drink, they bring out the less expensive wine. But you have saved the best wine for last”(V.7-10).

Do you know how long it takes to make wine? It begins with planting seeds, then takes several years for the vines to grow mature grapes. Then they have to be pick ed and processed to produce the wine. It often takes three to five years before the first wine is ready to be bottled. The better quality wine takes five to seven years to make. And people consider the best wine to be twenty to thirty years old. Yeshuah produced in a moment in time what normally takes decades to produce.

So, if you're concerned that you don't have enough time to achieve your goals, remember that Yeshua can do in a moment what might usually takes years. Maybe it would typically take you twenty years to pay off your mortgage, or ten years to build your business. But God's favor can thrust you years down the road. He still turns water into wine. Be encouraged, the God we serve knows how to accelerate natural laws. He can take you further, quicker than you can ever imagine.
