" "SHIELDED BY THE POWER"

Psalm 91: 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

1 Peter 1:3-5
Notice: vs 4-5 "you,... who are kept (protected) by the power of God through faith ..

Satan's most effective tool is sin. 'Sin is his power tool'

GOD'S PROMISE ⁃ To Be A Shield (Shelter)

Ephesians 6:10-11

We are not left on their own in the spiritual battle

1 Peter 1 Vs 5 says 'YOU"- are 'kept (protected) by Goď'

Jude 24 says He is 'able to keep you'

Paul's prayer for the church at Thessalonica was that their "whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless," and he added Faithful is he that calls you, who also will do it" 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24

THE TOOL TO USE FOR VICTORY — Faithfulness

▪︎ Save by grace through faith
▪︎ Kept by faith
▪︎ Faith provides the connection to real power to defeat sin
▪︎ That power is God himself

Psalm 103

The Faith-walk is a lifelong journey, and all relationships do take some effort. We will need help to nourish and carry this closeness over time.

Saved oy grace through faith.

Called by faith to be faithful.. We must remain faithful in fellowship being faithful, we cannot forsake regular fellowship within the church body.

Corinthians 12:12 says, "For as the body is one and has many members but all the members of that one body, being many are one body, so also is Christ."

To God be the glory !!"

"Lord, any good thing that comes today is of your doing. Any victory over injustice, poverty, hunger, sickness, loneliness, displacement, and greed is by your might. We are merely channels for
your work. Use us as you see fit and help us stand back when necessary. Amen."

"Think On This: "VICTORY - Not of Ourselves"

Deuteronomy 20:4 - For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.

Philippians 4:13-I can do althings through him who strengthens me.

Psalm 37:3-11 - Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His
faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of
your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to
pass.

1 Corinthians 15:57 "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". This verse emphasizes that victory comes from Jesus and that we cannot achieve it on our own.

2 Corinthians 2:14 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to trilumph in Christ". This verse states that God's will is for us to win and that He always causes us to triumph."

" "ARE YOU STANDING IN THE WAY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?"

Proverbs 25

Have you ever tried to talk to someone who wouldn't listen, teach someone who didn't want to learn, or correct someone who preferred doing wrong? Maybe you've been the one who was unwilling to listen, learn, or make a change.

Do you have a hard time accepting instruction or asking for help? Why do you think that is?

Is there any area of your life that's off limits to God?

What, if anything stops you from humbling yoursef before God?"
