DISPELLING THE SHADOW OF EVIL

June 6

eloved, there is a great shadow of evil which has spread itself across this world! It attempts to force itself upon the minds, bodies and spirits of all human beings. This Evil would like to invade your life with hopelessness, fear, discouragement, despair and all kinds of filth in every area of your living! However, there is also at the same time a great light sent forth out of heaven by your Father. This light is the "Light of the World” (John 8:12) --- Jesus Christ and His Blessed Spirit. He is sent to "destroy (all) the works (activities) of the Devil." (I John 3:8) His Holy Spirit is under commandment of your Father in Heaven to seek you out constantly, and He provides for you a shield and hedge of loving protection for you and all your loved ones. You read of this wonderful protection in the 91st Psalm) in the "secret place" (Psalm 91:1) of His protective love for you, your Father hides you "under the Shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1) This is a holy shelter which shields you from the view and destructive forces of the Evil One. Under this holy shadow of God Almighty, you are brought by His power into a place of true peace and safety in which no evil can come upon you. This shadow is spread over you as you declare (do so child of God) that He is your refuge (place of safety) and your trust. In the eleventh verse, you are told that He (the Lord God) will give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways!" (Psalm 91:11 NKJV) In other words, your Father orders his angels of heaven to station themselves around you, shielding you from the attacks of the Evil One. Isn't this good news! Now, beloved, read the entire 91st Psalm and place your own name in the position of the one being blessed and protected. (Take time to do this if possible, it will be a healing, blessing exercise for you)! A confession of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is also a powerful, life-giving proclamation which invites the presence of the shadow of God to spread over you!

Prayer

---

Father, I know that I cannot live or walk in blessings without your holy shadow of love spread over me. I call upon the name of the Lord Jesus to come to me and lay your hand of healing, love and blessing upon me. I will not lie down and allow this evil shadow to spread its influence in my life any longer. I invite you to truly become Lord and King over my life. I call upon you to sprinkle the precious blood of Jesus over my mind and over my spirit right now, in the name of Jesus. I bow my head and surrender to you completely in Jesus' name, amen!
