Because I have made the LORD my refuge, the Most High my dwelling place, no evil will be allowed to befall me, nor will any plague come near my tent. Psalm 91:9-10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
I have made you a magnificent promise, if you make Me your dwelling place, no evil will be allowed to befall you and no plague come near your tent. I would think you would be interested on how to do that so you can keep away all evil and sickness. I will just add, to do it requires vigilance. But in a different way than most think. I said vigilance and not anxiety, toil or fear.
If a man knew when the thief was coming, he would guard his house. Be on guard.
How do you make Me your dwelling place? I have told you many times and My Son summed it up for you, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.” John 14:23-24.
And how did Jesus tell you that you abide in Me like a branch in the vine? “If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and become My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:7-11.
If you keep My Words, abide in My Words, live My Words, make My Words the foundation of your life, you will be in My dwelling place, My secret place, where no evil can touch you. And for perfect protection in these perilous times on earth, for the devil’s time is short now and he knows Adam’s leasehold is almost up for My Son to open the scroll with the seven seals of the title deed to the fee, you must stay in My dwelling place. If you step out, the devil is roaming about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour, do not swallow his bait and step out in the flesh for then he can hook you and take your captive to do his will. And he will destroy your flesh.
Let Me explain. To stay in My dwelling place, the secret place, you must remain in My Word and let My Word remain in you. This simply means you need to set your mind on a spiritual viewpoint of things that is found in My Word. The mind set on spiritual realities is life and peace, but the mind set on the flesh, just what you see in the natural realm and you own strength, is death. The mind set on the spirit sees healing and prosperity available in Me by faith, which has no limits, the mind set on the flesh does not, but only looks upon what man can supply, which is very limited. You can easily tell where you are setting your mind, you do not have to wonder, if you are depressed, anxious, bitter, and/or angry much of the time, your mind is set on the flesh and it is tending towards death. But if you have peace and joy beyond understanding by the circumstances, your mind is set on the spirit, which just means on My Word. My Words are spirit and life.
That is why the first thing the devil is out to do is still the Word out of your heart by doubts, lust, disappointment, and whatever dust storm he can raise in your life. He waits on the shifting sands of the sea to see which way you are being tossed and if he sees it is getting to you he turns up the volume and the storm. You have to rebuke him. How? You submit to My Word on the subject as true, resist his attack, and he will have to flee. Guaranteed. He cannot touch you when you remain in the Word. When Job stepped out of the hedge of My dwelling into fear of punishment for his children and property that was all the devil needed to take action.
Do not have self-confidence to overcome by your own abilities. That is what Adam was tempted by the devil to do. Instead of self-confidence have “God confidence,” confidence in the surpassing greatness of My power into you. You can do nothing without Me, but the good news is when you are born again you do not have to, I am with you always. You are never without Me. You are no longer without Me and without hope in the world. Put no confidence in your flesh to save you, put your confidence in Me. Whoever calls on My Name is saved.
Stay in the dwelling place. Noah had to stay in the ark until the flood went down. And then he still had to continue to walk in My Word to be protected from all evil.
If you look at a person’s garden, you know what they planted or allowed to grow for you see the result. If you see corn, you know they planted corn seed. If you see flowers you know they planted those particular flowers. But if you see weeds, you know these got planted in some manner, and if they grew up, you know the person who owns the garden allowed them to do so.
Do you see? Look at your thoughts, at your life, at your state of mind, and you will know immediately if you are walking in the spirit or walking in the flesh. And the devil knows too. And he is a “flesh” devil. He cannot touch you if you are in the spirit.
Now, how do you enter My dwelling? By keeping My Word, but how do you do that? First, you must enter My presence by the only door in, which is Jesus, Jesus told you that there was no way to the Father but through Him. And before that He told those crowded around Him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:7, 9-10.
And once you are in Christ, you have a new and living way to My throne. And you enter that gate with thanksgiving, My courts with songs of praise, but how do you get into the HOLY of Holies? My secret place, My dwelling above the cherubim? Look back at the shadows of time, how did the High Priest enter the Holy of Holies? In a cloud of incense, with the blood of the spotless lamb (sprinkling it seven times), and in holy attire with bells ringing at the base of his robe.
What am I showing you?
I tell you that your prayers are like incense before Me. They are placed on the golden altar before Me in the Holy of Holies. I tell you to pray without ceasing. I tell you to cast everything on Me by prayer and petition. I tell you I hear you when you ask according to My Will, which you find in My Word, and it is done for you. So you enter with prayer, but not a begging victim prayer but the prayer of My royal priesthood, which you are who believe, a prayer of agreement with you great High Priest, Jesus, who is My Word made flesh who dwelt among you and is now in you. The prayer of agreement with My Word, with My promises. A prayer that turns back the tide of evil and releases My Word into the earth to heal and deliver from all destructions.
With the blood of the Lamb. You come by the new and living way, with the Blood that speaks more eloquently than Abel’s, with the Blood that cleanses you of all unrighteousness and released you from your sins, making you kings and priests to minister spiritual sacrifice of prayer and declaration before Me. Apply the Blood, pour it out on a sinful people. Pour it on My altar throne. And let the Blood plead mercy for sinners. Pray for those who are not praying. Help Me to save the souls that I so love. Cover your nation and other nations of the world with the Blood of the Lamb. The Blood will go to work when you release it in the spirit.
And come in holy attire. Come clothed in Christ—the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness that all who are born again receive. If you do not have your wedding garment on, you know what happens from the parable My Son told about the marriage feast!
And tingle the bell in your heart as you come, making melody and spiritual songs to Me in your heart.
And above all put on LOVE. Love covers a multitude of sins.
And enter the Holy of Holies with confident joy by the Light of the Lampstand (the golden Menorah), the Light of the World, the way, the truth and the life, the new and living way, and come in agreement with My Word of healing, peace, protection, provision, prosperity, salvation, righteousness, redemption, sanctification, joy and, above all, love without limits. You are one to be welcomed.
I love you. I am with you. Come and enter My dwelling place, My secret place, and abide there forever. I set a table before you (eat the Word) in the sight of your foes, I anoint your head with oil, and overflow your cup, and you can dwell in My house now and forever. But in this world, you have to be vigilant to stay there. Guard you heart with all diligence from from it come the issues of life.
