Hedge of Protection

Some times in our journey with the Lord we need greater spiritual covering and protection. Worship ministry, for example, is a powerful spiritual weapon that attracts the enemy (that would be satan). Healing and deliverance is another area that can bring spiritual backlash. Confronting something of satan's that he has just the way he wants it causes spiritual upheaval. The Body of Christ needs to understand spiritual warfare, and be trained in it. We are not to walk in fear, but to stand strong in the authority God has given us. Greater is He who is in us, than he who is in the world. God promises His divine protection in His Word. Here is a prayer, using scripture, that claims a hedge of protection over our lives. Pray it when you feel vulnerable.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come to you and pray a hedge of protection around me, my family, and all that belongs to us. I thank you, Father, that You are a wall of fire round about us and that you set Your angels round about us.

I thank you , Father, that my family and I dwells in the secret place of the Most High and abides under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of You, Lord, You are our refuge and fortress and in You we will trust. You cover us with Your feathers, and under Your wings we will trust. We will not be afraid of the terror by night or the arrow that flies by day. Only with our eyes will we behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because my family and I have made You, Lord, our refuge and fortress, no evil shall befall us-no accident will overtake us-neither shall any plague or calamity come near us. You give Your angels charge over us, to keep us in all Your ways.

Father, because You have set Your love upon us, therefore will deliver us. We shall call upon You, and You will answer us. You will be with us in trouble, and will satisfy us with a long life and show Your salvation. Not a hair on our heads shall perish. Amen.
