Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms 91:4; Hebrews 7:22; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Jeremiah 1:12; Isaiah 49:16; Isaiah 54:17; Numbers 23:19; Psalm 105:15; Proverbs 11:5; Psalm 37:12-13; Job 21:9; Proverbs 29:25; Psalm 119:117; Mark 4:38-39; John 1:1 Psalm 18:33

We are walking in today:  Safe.


Deuteronomy 33:27
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.  Underneath are the everlasting arms!  That is God, which supports of His people and their protection--safety and security such are the arms of His everlasting love, which encircles and encompasses them about as a shield.  This is His everlasting covenant which is immovable in which they ever remain.  Eternal redemption and salvation walked out by Christ which secures them from destruction and everlasting power.  When He carries us in His bosom and bears us up under all of our afflictions, temptations, and trials.  Nor will He ever suffer us to drop out of His arms or to be plucked from His hands.  Walk with Him, one step at a time, your are safe in His everlasting arms!  God, the eternal God is Himself our support at all times.  And especially when we are sinking and are in deep trouble. There are seasons when a Christian sinks very low in humiliation, under a deep sense of great sinfulness.  He presents himself humble, before God, until he scarcely knows how to pray because he appears in his own sight so worthless.  But child of God remember that when thou art at thou worst and lowest, yet underneath thee are His everlasting arms!  Sin may drag thee ever so low but Christ's great atonement still is under all!  You may have descended into the deep but you cannot fall lower than the uttermost, and into the uttermost He saved!  Again, the Christian sometimes sinks very deeply from trials without.  When every earthly prop is cut away, what then?  He cannot not fall so deep in distress and afflictions, that the covenant of grace and ever faithful God will still encircle him!  The Christian maybe sinking in trouble from within due to fierce conflict and even then he cannot be brought so low to be beyond the reach of the eternal everlasting arms!  They are underneath him.  While this sustained Christian is made safe from satan's efforts to harm him that the enemies plots avail nothing!  This assurance of comfort and safety comes from on high.  That we be not weary in well doing but an earnest worker in the service of God.  It implies the promise of strength for each day, grace for each need and power for each duty further more when death comes the promise shall still hold good!  When we stand in the midst of the Jordan, we shall be able to say what David said, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me!  We shall descend into the grave but no lower for the eternal arms prevent our future fall.  All though life and at it's close, we shall be upheld by the everlasting arms!  Arms that neither fail, nor lose their strength.  The everlasting arms--God does not grow weary nor does He faint! 
I don't know about you but on yesterday, I took a walk with Jesus, He told me that he is holding us in His everlasting arms.  That He will never leave nor forsake us!  Underneath it all, is it His everlasting arms!  Psalms 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.  He is eternal, He is Alpha and Omega, He has everlasting power, He is bearing us up on every side!  Under His everlasting arms!  He is the maker of a way out of no way!  We must be still and know that He is God!  We are safe because of who our God is!  That He gives us peace that surpasses our understanding, that He give us joy unspeakable.  That is why we don't have to worry about tomorrow, we are safe!  Many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers us out of them all!  We are not like the world who has a false sense of security that when the wind blows or any kind of stresses come, that security comes crashing down.  All of that faith in money, all of that faith in the things produced by man--has all been brought down and shown to all the world their true folly.  Our God is not like that!  His word is true and He is a refuge to those that run to Him.  Those that run to Him have placed their trust in Him and rightly so!  Fiveamprayer, He is our strong tower!   Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.  We have all had experiences with running home and finding safety where we can not be attacked nor touched or caused any harm.  The Lord provides us all that form of safety from every source of attack that would attempt to rise up against His children.  As a loving and protecting Father He has a watchful eye out for anything that needs to be thwarted or cast down to protect that which He bought with the perfect and sin-less blood of Jesus!  We are covered and have a surety in our security!  We are not like some who have alarm systems that are not being monitored by anyone.  We know that the Father is ever watchful over us!  Hebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.  Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.  We have been sealed with the promise from on high--sounds like a monitored alarm system to me.  That God is watchful over us, keeping us, protecting us from things that we may not know about, that has been sent to attack us.  Some attacks are cut off at the early stages that we have no knowledge of it, other are known that we may see His mighty hand cast them down and give Him glory!  We find rest and peace in His presence--won't you rest in Him?  He is where you will find safety, not just the mere appearance of safety but true safety from all of the attacks of the enemy.  We are covered in the blood.  We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us!  We know that greater is He that is with in us, than he that is with in this world.  Fiveamprayer, you are safe!  Safe in your marriage, with your children, in your singleness.  Your destination is preplanned.  He left us with a Comforter, you know when that calmness come over you that is apart of His not leaving nor forsaking us!  Isaiah 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.   It is because of who You are Father, that You are the all knowing God!  That He already has a plan for us!  He knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end.  He has plans for you!  There is power in the blood, He got up on the third day.  We don't have to be worried or fearful, call on His name!   When the enemy comes in like a flood, God lifts up a standard against Him!  You are safe in the omnipresent God, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh!  You are safe because of the blood that was shed at Calvary.  We have to know that we are safe in His arms  and that God is more than able!  That we are safe in our marriages, with our children and in our singleness.  He has placed a hedge of protection around us .  That he leads and  guides us.  That nothing comes against you--Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.  He is holding, leading and directing us!  You have to know, that you know, that you know!  Fiveamprayer you gotta know that you are safe!  Thank You God for this weekend meditation!  That He comes to tell us that we are safe.  That we are to stop second guessing God, you are safe.  That we no longer ask how long, that we know that we are safe.  We are safe in His everlasting arms!  The enemy is not able to pluck us from God's hand!  Trust God--it doesn't matter about the storms or what ever is going on in our lives, He can speak peace be still--even with all hell breaking loose in your life.  Then God shows up to say, peace be still, no more.  You are safe in His arms.  Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  We are safe, with everything breaking loose but you have a calmness and peace about you.  That you can be still and know that He is God!  Knowing that you are safe!  Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?  When He says you are safe, then we really are safe!  Stop getting caught up in the lies and disguises of the devil.  Our Father has brought us out of many things!  The enemy is still a lie!  Let us not be weary in well doing!  That even when we are wandering in the wilderness, He is still keeping us safe!  Psalm 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.  God comes to tell us that we are safe this morning!  Don't worry about the plots and schemes of the wicked--Proverbs 11:5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.  Psalm 37:12-13 12) The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13) The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.  You are safe in His everlasting arms!  No weapon that is formed against thee shall ever prosper, you are safe!  Because prayer changes things!  So we are not worried about anything.  He will hide us in the secret place, in the shadow of the Almighty, we are safe!  Fiveamprayer, don't get weary in well doing.  We have fought too hard and for too long to give up now!  You are safe!  He is an ever present help, He is our buckler and our shield.  We are being held in His everlasting arms!  He is a fortress and strong tower!  Job 21:9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.  Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.  Psalm 119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.  You are safe in His presence, when the Holy Spirit shows up--safe!  Because He has already given us dominion, a long time ago.  Who the Son sets free is free indeed!  We are safe!  No matter what the enemy brings, we are safe!  We are not worried about it!  Hallelujah God!  In His presence is where the safety is at!    Call on His anointing and on His presence!  That we would be surrounded by God encircled by Him.  He is our shield!  Hallelujah God!  Safe from all harm, safe from it all!  Keep walking with Him!  Get that in your spirit!  The enemy comes to distract us, but God can not be hindered!  Trust that God is protecting us!  We come to lift up those that are weary in well doing this morning.  That is is all for His glory!  There is safety in the boat!  Mark 4:38-39 38) And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39) And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  Get in the boat with Jesus, there is safety in the boat!  Look at the above scripture while the winds were blowing Jesus was asleep on a pillow, there is not restful sleep if you are not safe!  There is only peace in true safety.  Like Pastor Taffe has taught, if the back door to your house was missing you would not sleep restfully.  Due to not feeling safe.  Well as Christians we have been encircled and surround by God and His safety.  That is why He can say fret not.  He has it all covered!  But do you trust Him?!  There is not another place for your trust to reside. We must be faithful, even if we are like a ship tossed on the waves, we have to know that we are safe.  That we stand on the solid rock not sinking sand.  We stand on the Rock of Ages!  Sounds like we are safe to me!  We come to repent this morning.  That we get out of Your way and let go and let God!  That we follow where You are leading us, to all truth and righteousness.  Fiveamprayer, He is guiding and leading us!  That we will be able to rest in His peace.  Stay in His presence, in prayer and keep seeking His face.  You are anointed, there are so many things that have come against you!  If it had been someone else,  you would have gone crazy or would no longer be here.  But you just keep standing on God's word!  His grace is sufficient--that is why you are still here!  That is why you are safe!  He will step in and cover you!  Thank You Lord!  Thank You God!  Be still and know that He is God!  That's why you are safe!  The battle is His not ours!  We are safe in His arms!  He is Jehovah Jireh!  We are safe and He supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory.  That He goes before us making the crooked things straight!  Thank You God!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.   Fiveamprayer, we are safe!

Welcome to the overflow...

So many of us are tired of fighting and wrestling, but we will take a stand and be still and know that He is God!  That we will not talk about it nor try to fix it ourselves.  We are safe, in His everlasting arms!  The eternal God is our refuge!  As the main text for this morning says, The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever more!  He made a way out of no way!  He is our Bright and Morning Star!  Hallelujah safe, in His arms!  Rest is right here in His arms!  Thank You God for this weekend meditation, this week we walked in stop second guessing God, stop asking--how long, God will lead us one step at at time--this morning, safe!  Don't worry about how long and stop second
guessing God.  While we walk hand in hand with You, we are safe!   John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  That is why we are safe!  Because of His amazing grace, that saved an awful wretch like me!  Think about His goodness.  That He is the only one who has and can keep you in every situation!  Take a look back over you life, and see God's hand keeping you safe!  When you were going into surgery who guided the surgeon's hand?  When you had sickness and pain in your body, who put healing into your body, a healing that the doctor's could not explain?!  God has encircled and encamped around us.  That He kept us while everyone turned there backs on us even friends from way back, God still kept us!  He is always there!  His strength is made perfect in weakness!  You are safe!  They may have counted you out, but God counts you in His number!  For every stumbling block set by your enemies, God has made your feet sure, in high places!  Psalm 18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.  Hallelujah God! He is and always was right there!  It was nobody but God!   Thank You God!  I know that I am safe!  Somebody needed to know that this morning!  That He give us peace that surpasses all understanding, that we can have joy unspeakable. Thank You Lord for this word, I will rest in it all weekend!  Rest in Your everlasting arms, amen!  Glory to His name!  He has set us free this week!  Go back and revisit the word from this week on the blog.  Stop second guessing God, no more complaints about how long, He is walking with us one step at at time, then today safe!  Tell someone today that you serve Jehovah Jireh.  That you don't need a bailout plan, Jesus went to Calvary for me already!  Thank You Lord!  By His stripes we are already healed!  We have Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, that is who we serve!  We are safe!  Hallelujah!  Have a supernatural blessed weekend.  Walk in this one all weekend long!  Walk this out in holy boldness!  We have to know who we are, that when the devil comes you are not deceived!  The enemy is still a liar!  Just as true God is, is how untrue the devil is!  We are safe!  Have a blessed day!
