RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (8)
--- Full Protection from Diseases and Disasters, Death and Destruction
God is our father; we are all His children.
As a Father to us, He wants to protect us from all diseases and disasters and destruction.
To do that, we need to do the following things:
... Always declare that God is our refuge and our fortress.
... Always cover ourselves and our loved ones with the blood of Jesus.
... Always confess our sins whenever we have sinned against God and man.
... Always obey the Holy Spirit as He leads us daily, so that we do not sin, and live under God’s constant protection.
1. God has promised to protect us from all diseases and disasters and destruction
MATTHEW 28:20
20 And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
ISAIAH 43:2
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
ISAIAH 54:17 NET
17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed; you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. This is what Yehovah will do for His servants--I will vindicate them," says Yehovah.
God promises to be with us at all times to watch over us and to keep us from all danger and harm, and from destruction by all floods and fires.
He promises us that no weapon formed against us will succeed.
And He will watch over His word to perform it, if we will believe in His promises. (Jeremiah 1:12)
2. Always declare that God is our refuge and our fortress, and that He will protect you and your loved ones from the evil one
PSALM 91:2-3; 9-11
2 I will say of Yehovah , “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
9 If you say, “Yehovah is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
MATTHEW 6:13 (Lord’s Prayer)
13 “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
When we make God our refuge and fortress by declaring it with our mouth, He will deliver us from the fowler’s snares (or traps of the devil), and from all diseases and pestilences.
He will send His angels to deliver us.
He will answer us when we pray the Lord’s Prayer, and deliver us from the evil one.
3. Cover yourself, your family, your businesses and your ministry with the blood of Jesus daily
EXODUS 12:13
13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
The blood of Jesus will protect you from all disasters and calamities, diseases and pestilences.
Nothing is more powerful than the blood of Jesus to protect us from all the attacks of the enemy and the judgments of God against the disobedient.
4. Always confess our sins whenever we sin against God and man, so that we do not open a door for the devil to destroy us
ROMANS 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
EPHESIANS 4:26-27
26 In your anger do not sin 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
JOHN 10:10
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
When the Holy Spirit convicts you of sin, repent quickly.
If not, your sin will open a door for the devil to kill and steal and destroy in your life.
5. Always obey the Holy Spirit as He leads us to walk in paths of righteousness daily, so that we do not sin
JOHN 16:13
13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.
PSALM 23:6 NAS
6 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
JOHN 14:29-30
30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me,
31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
As we walk in obedience to God’s word daily, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will not sin.
And the devil will not have the right to destroy us with disasters and calamities, and diseases and pestilences.
This was the testimony of Jesus in John 14:29-30.
Because Jesus always obeyed the Father, the devil cannot touch Him.
It will be the same with our lives when we walk in daily obedience to the Spirit of God.
6. Decreeing the Decrees of Heaven
In Jesus' name, I declare and decree that .....
1. God is always with me till the end of this age.
When I pass through the waters, they will not sweep over me; when I pass through the fire, I will not be burned.
No weapon formed against me will succeed.
(MATTHEW 28:20; ISAIAH 43:2; ISAIAH 54:17 NET)
2. Yehovah is my refuge and my fortress, the God in whom I trust.
Therefore, He will save me from the trap of my enemies and from the deadly pestilence.
He will deliver me from the evil one.
No harm will overtake me, no disaster will come near my home.
He will command His angels concerning me and my family to guard us in all your ways.
(PSALM 91:2-3; 9-11; MATTHEW 6:13 (Lord’s Prayer)
3. The blood of Jesus covers me and my family, my businesses and my ministry, protecting us from all attacks of demons and men.
(EXODUS 12:13)
4. I will always confess my sins whenever I sin against God and man, so that I do not open a door to the devil to destroy me and my loved ones. (ROMANS 6:23; EPHESIANS 4:26-27; JOHN 10:10)
5. I will always obey the Holy Spirit as He leads me to walk in paths of righteousness daily, so that I do not sin, and the devil will have no hold over me. (JOHN 16:13; PSALM 23:6 NAS; JOHN 14:29-30)

A TESTIMONY
"God protected my life from instant death when I was travelling in a car in Basingstoke 10 years ago”
BROTHER AAA:
“About 10 years ago, I went to Basingstoke, in the UK, for my sabbatical for about 5 months, to refresh and renew myself in God.
“One day, my brother Peter and I went in a car to visit our family friend, called brother Johnny, a retired army officer, a few kilometers from Basingstoke.
“Our car was driven by a Chinese lady from Basingstoke, whose husband owns a sundry shop in the town.
My brother Peter had been sharing the Good News with her.
She was kind and generous to use her car to bring us to see Johnny.
“As we reach the small town where Johnny lived, a red sports car suddenly came rushing down at us from a side road.
It was about to crash into the front passenger side, where I was sitting.
“Suddenly, it swerved slightly and passed right in front us, and crashed into the hedge surrounding an old church on the other side of the road.
“We had not seen this car until the last seconds when we intersected, because the side road was hidden by tall bushes in this country town.
“God spared my life that day.
His angels pushed the sports car away from us at the last second so that it did not crash into my side of the car.
“God spared the life of my brother Peter also.
Peter works as a chef at a Chinese takeaway, but he spends all his free time preaching the Good News and he had brought hundreds of Chinese from China to the Lord.
“God also spared our lady driver.
A few years later, when I returned to Basingstoke to visit my brother again, this lady and her husband had become believers in Jesus.
“I give all glory to our great God for delivering our lives from death and destruction that day....!!!
He watches over all of us constantly to protect us from disasters and diseases, and death and destruction.
“What a mighty God we serve!!!”
Shalom.
