Nothing Can Touch Me!

The car that just sped through the stop sign and almost took you out. The bank robbery that took place just after you left. The flat tire that put you on the side of the road, but OUT of the 10 car pile-up that suddenly took place. All of these things that happen to us are NOT COINCIDENCE! They happen due to divine intervention and protection from the Angel of the Lord! He encamps us, chases and persecutes for us, and charges for us!


First of all, He camps, or encamps around us, as the picture above. Psalm 34:7 says," The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, AND delivereth them." He stands guard over His saints in protection. "Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler and STAND UP FOR MINE HELP" Psalm 35:1&2. As the Lord encamps about us, this creates a hedge around us. This Hedge IS GOD HIMSELF! Only what He ALLOWS through will get through! In the book of Job this hedge is first mentioned. "Hast thou not made AN HEDGE ABOUT HIM, and about his house, and about all that he that on every side?..." Job. 1:10. These words were spoken by Satan himself! He knows very well all of the hedge and encampment that the Lord has placed around us for protection. No doubt he has tried numerous times to get through to all of us, but has failed, only receiving admission by the Lord.(Job 2:6) If he recognizes this fact, why can't we?!Why do we stay so fearful of events or daily things that may affect us? We need not fear, but trust in the Lord's encampment, fully knowing that He is well-able to protect and shield us from harm!

Secondly, the Angel of the Lord CHASES away our enemies. He not only keeps Satan and his minions out, He persecutes the workers of iniquity! Psalms 35:5&6 says, "Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord  CHASE them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD  PERSECUTE them." Our enemies cannot even stand before us if the Lord doesn't allow them too! He will speedily make them flee our presence.  "He hath delivered my soul in peace from THE BATTLE that was against me; FOR THERE ARE MANY WITH ME!" Jesus delivers us! "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee; HE SHALL NEVER SUFFER THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED!" Psalm 55:22.

Lastly, the Angel of the Lord Charges for us! "For He shall give His angels CHARGE over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." Psalm 91:11 & 12. The Lord sends out the CHARGE to HIS "ministers of flaming fire" to give us EVEN MORE protection! If the Lord is concerned enough for the smallest aspect of our well-being, such as hurting our foot, how much more for our health and very lives! In Genesis when Jacob was returning home to meet his brother Esau, the Lord sent an angel band to keep a hedge about him as well! (Gen. 32:1). The Lord allowed him to see this band, to give encouragement to Jacob that the Lord was going before him. We may not see the Angel of the Lord around us physically as Jacob did, but we can see Him through the eyes of FAITH IN HIS WORD! We can know that they are waiting for the very word to attack the forces of evil, whether human or supernatural, for our defense! "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little one; for I say unto you, That in heaven their ANGELS do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 18:10.

Whether it is a physical, mental, or spiritual attack, we can rest assured that the ANGEL OF THE LORD is ENCAMPED  around us always! He will NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US! (HEB.13:5). Even if it seems He is gone, He is there. Even when it seems all Hell is against us, and it may be, HE IS ALMIGHTY! He will chase it away, and HE WILL PREVAIL for us! He is ever watching and will give the CHARGE for our defense when it is NEEDED! He WILL NOT suffer the righteous to be moved! May the Lord give us His Grace to know that we can trust in His protection and that He will keep us from all harm!
