The Absolute Certainty of Divine

Protection

ere is an absolute guarantee: There is no more certain

H place to be than in the presence of God. And when I say

certain, I mean safe, secure and assured. You can count on

it. Even if the Lord prompts you to go minister to someone

in a hospital filled with deadly contagious diseases, you

can go with confidence and peace. Why? Because you

know you are walking in God's presence, and in that

divine presence is certain, supernatural protection.

Whenever the Lord says with great certainty in His

Word that you can possess something, it should be very

difficult for the devil to take that promise away from you.

On the other hand, it may be harder for you to be

confident if you are praying for something that isn't

specifically promised in the Word. In that case, you need a

strong inner knowing from the Holy Spirit that the

petition you have asked for is yours to claim.

You are a covenant person. Therefore, you should be

confident that God will perform His promise of protection

for you as you stand in His presence by faith.

Hebrews 6:19 AMP talks about a hope that helps us

enter the absolute certainty and security of God's

presence:

[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast

anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break

down under whoever steps out upon it—a hope] that

reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of

the Presence] within the veil.

Let's read the two previous verses to find out what

that hope is:

Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more

convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to

inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His

purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath.

This was so that, by two unchangeable things (His

promise and His oath) in which it is impossible for

God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have

fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling

strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold

fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].

Hebrews 6:17, 18 AMP

Verse 17 is talking about the oath God made to

Abraham, the father of our faith. To show Abraham

"convincingly and beyond doubt" that what He had

promised to him was absolutely certain, God intervened

with an oath made by blood. Thus, by those two

unchangeable things—God's promise and His oath made

by blood—we, too, can grasp and hold fast to the hope set

before us.

God wants you to grasp the hope He has given you

through His promise of protection. The blood of Jesus can

work in your life so much more powerfully when you are

fully persuaded.

You don't get very far when you are wavering in your

faith, always wondering, Is pleading the blood of Jesus going

to accomplish anything? Are my children really going to be

delivered in the midst of danger just because I do this every

day? That's why God wants you to be convinced beyond a

shadow of a doubt that He will faithfully keep you and

your children safe from all harm.
