Along with salvation by the blood of Jesus, much has been given to us by God the Father through Christ Jesus (Revelation 5:12 [KJV]). As is the case with all things pertaining to God, faith (which is powered or operated by divine love) is a requirement; and the faith used for salvation doesn’t end there. Those rendered sons & daughters of Abba Father by the blood of Jesus are predestined (called) for God’s always good purpose; such necessarily involves moving beyond the threshold of salvation and into the things of God kept in the heavenly realm for you (never from you). In other words, faith requires believing and acting in order to manifest God’s provision that includes “preservation, healing, soundness, and deliverance from temporal evils”¹ which is the ministry of the Angels of God assigned to you. Angels move by the WORD of God; to have the WORD in your heart, eyes, and mouth is so that you may speak it. Christ Jesus only spoke and acted on that which He heard of God the Father (John 8:26a [NLT]; John 8:38 & 14:10 [NKJV]; John 12:49-50 [NIV; NLT]). Therefore, those rendered sons & daughters of the Sovereign LORD God by the blood of Jesus also speak in the very same way; we confess or speak the WORD. The first Scripture that brought revelation to me about protection is that in which the Lord Jesus uses the analogy of the Good Shepherd and His sheep: “27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one” John 10:27-30 (NIV).   

Psalm 34:4,7 (NIV; NKJV) – “4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. 7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear (God), and delivers them.”

Psalm 91:9-12 (NIV) – “9 I make the Most High (God) my dwelling—even the LORD (God Almighty) is my refuge—10 then no harm befalls me, no disaster comes near my (house). 11 For He commands His angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways; 12 they lift me up in their hands so that I do not strike my foot against a stone.

Psalm 118:6-7 (NLT; NIV; KJV) – “6 The LORD is for me, I am not afraid. What can man do to me? 7 The LORD taketh my part among the ministering spirits who help me; I look in triumph on my enemies.” (personalized)

Isaiah 54:17 (NIV) – “no weapon forged against (me) will prosper, and (I) will refute every tongue that accuses (me). This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me, ‘declares the LORD.” (personalized)

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
