My beloved child…consider the heart of My servant David when surrounded by his enemies: But you are a shield around me, O Lord; You bestow glory on me and lift up my head.  To the Lord I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy hill.  I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.  I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. [David…Ps 3:3-6]

Surely, **        **, I shall deliver you from the hidden traps and from deadly hazards.  I shall cover you with My pinions, and under My wings you shall abide with Me in an unwavering child-like trust and find refuge.  You will be safe in My care; My truth and My faithfulness will protect and defend you.  You need not be afraid of any terror of the night, nor the sudden evil attacks of the enemy during the day, nor of any dreaded diseases that stalk in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death of disasters that surprise and lay waste at noonday.  My child, don’t lose sight of godly wisdom and discernment…do not let them out of your sight.   for they will refresh your soul.  They are like jewels on a necklace.  They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.  You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord will keep you safe.  He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. [Prov 3:21-26]

A thousand may fall at your side, beloved child, and ten thousand at your right hand… but these evils will not touch you.  Safe and secure in the secret place of the Most High, you will be only a spectator as you witness the recompense of the wicked.  Surely, you will never be overcome by evil; a righteous man will be in everlasting remembrance.  You will have no fear of bad news; your heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.  You will surely be confident and fearless, and can face your foes triumphantly. [Ps 112:6-8]

Because you have made Me your refuge, **        **, and the Most High your dwelling place, there shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your dwelling place.  For I give My angels special charge over you, to accompany, defend, and preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service.  They will steady you with their hands, and keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the pathway.  You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes; you will walk unharmed among them…yes, even trample them beneath your feet!

Because you have set your love upon Me, **         **, greatly beloved, therefore will I deliver you.  I will set you on high, because you know and understand My Name through our deep and intimate Sacred Covenant relationship…knowing I will never, never leave you…I will never, ever forsake you…no, never; assuredly not!  You shall call upon Me, and I will answer you; I will be with you in trouble, I will deliver you and honor you. With long life will I satisfy you and show you My salvation. [Ps 91:3-16]

And so, My beloved child, abide with Me, in the shelter of the Most High…here in the Holiest of All, in My unclouded Presence, within the Heavenly Sanctuary…where you will find your home and your resting place in the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered in My loving arms.  I am your Refuge and your Fortress, your God and Father, in Whom you may have an unwavering child-like trust and in Whom you may continually be at rest in an unruffled child-like rest…in My loving arms, **        **, where all is peaceful and calm, all is tranquil and unruffled.  Abide here with Me with an unclouded child-like carefree joy.  Don’t you worry, don’t you fret.  Don’t be anxious or afraid.  Trust in Me with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.  Watch for Me and wait before Me; look off unto Me and listen for My voice.  Acknowledge Me in this way, and I will lead you and guide you by My Holy Spirit.  He will place you where you are to be, lead you where you are to go, show you what you are to do to participate with Me in My plans, My purposes, My will for you.  He will give you the thoughts you are to think and to present, the words you are to speak or to write.  He will direct your paths…if only you would just only trust your disquieted heart to Me.  I will watch over that heart of yours and keep it safe, if only you would just trust Me with it.  So don’t be disappointed, don’t be discouraged; don’t be disheartened or disillusioned.  Don’t be downcast, down-trodden, distraught, dismayed, or distressed.  Don’t lament over the past, or be anguished about the present, or agonize over the future.  You needn’t be angry, upset, frustrated, irritated, or annoyed.  And don’t become impatient, or grow weary of waiting.  I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.  You are My workmanship, created in Christ Jesus My Son to do good works…works that I Myself have planned in advance for you to do.  Every day of your life was recorded in My book before you were born…before you ever began to breathe.  So be still, and know that I AM your Father and your God!

Friends, brothers and sisters…

There is one absolutely necessary preparation for every living soul on the face of this Earth, for the soon coming and imminent return of Jesus Christ…the one preparation that will irrevocably determine in which neighborhood you will spend all eternity, whether in Heaven or in Hell.  You must be a born-again child of God.  I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot be in God’s Kingdom.  I tell you the truth, no one can ever enter the Kingdom of God unless you are born of water and the Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at My saying you must be born again. [Jesus…John 3:3-7]

If you have never been born again,
or you are not sure whether you have been born again,
or you have been living your life as a lukewarm Christian and would now like to recommit your life and enter into a deep and intimate relationship with Christ Jesus in preparation for the soon coming marriage supper of the Lamb…
then I counsel you to get alone with God, read the solemn marriage vows you must make to become the bride of Christ and thereby be born-again, [https://preservechristianfamily.org/2019/01/21/bride-of-christ/], and with sincerity of heart from within the depths of your being, acknowledge before God, “I DO.”

Psalm 23:
