"The Lord Your Refuge Will Deliver You" Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. Psalm 91:3 Today, we hear of new strains of viruses which were unheard of only a generation ago. The world has yet to find cures for them and many people are afraid of being struck down by these viruses. But as believers, we are not of the world, though we are in the world. (John 17:15–16) So our protection is not of the world, but of the Lord. And when we say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust,” (Psalm 91:2) then what follows is not “maybe”, but surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. A couple in our church can testify that surely the Lord delivered and protected their two young children during a Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) outbreak, which claimed a few lives in Singapore not long ago. When their four-year-old daughter started vomiting and running a fever, the mother brought her to their family doctor, who found ulcers in her mouth and small red dots on her hands and feet—symptoms of the HFMD. Naturally, the doctor prescribed medication for her. Back home, however, the little girl continued to vomit throughout the day, throwing up everything including the medication. Her fever persisted. Not able to do anything for their daughter, the parents prayed, proclaiming Jesus as their healer, and partook of the Holy Communion many times with both their children. That night, their daughter’s fever broke and the vomiting subsided. They continued making the Lord their refuge and fortress. Within two days, their daughter was completely delivered from the disease. And all this while, their six-year-old son was completely protected from the infectious disease. Beloved, you don’t need to be afraid of deadly diseases which may have claimed the lives of others. You don’t have to be fearful that you or your child may become victims of these super bugs. When the Lord is your refuge and fortress, surely He shall deliver you and your family from the snare of the fowler, such as the avian flu, and from all perilous pestilences! "Heaven’s Backing" “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?” John 2:20 (NLT) You and I have all of Heaven backing us up. What God has called you and I to do, Heaven has our back. He knows what is needed to fulfill our purpose and reach destiny. Jesus was talking to the people and giving them examples of His resurrection that would happen. They thought it was the physical building. But He was referencing His body. What He was telling them, I have all of Heaven backing me up. Today, know all of Heaven is backing you up. God is sending His angels on assignment. There is nothing good God will withhold from us. Heavenly Father, I thank you for covering me. I ask you to forgive me for allowing myself to get frustrated. I am living in the now. I have your favor, love, peace, and stamina to finish. Today, I declare I am faithful, hearing right, responding right, and accomplishing in my life. I love you. In Jesus Name. Amen youtube/watch?v=TuqQuqjz7Zg
