Hedge of Protection

With the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, we have seen the essential role of the multilayered air defense system of Israel dubbed Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 for the protection of the Jewish State. Although not flawless, it has proven to be effective in preventing most of the incoming missiles and UAVs from wreaking havoc and deaths.

Just as a shield of protection is essential in the natural world, it is much more needed in the spiritual realm. 2 Corinthians 10:3 reveals: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. We are told to be sober and vigilant. Aside from protecting ourselves, we have the responsibility to shield our children. We must protect are loved ones from demonic attacks.

Based on Job 1:10, we see that there is such a thing as a hedge of protection in the spirit wherein the demonic powers can’t touch a child of God. This is corroborated by numerous testimonies of former witches, sorcerers and satanists who converted to Christianity. According to their testimonies, they were not able to cast spells or curses on praying believers and that there was a blue force field around the children of praying parents. They were able to oppress school children with their witchcraft but never succeeded when it came to children of Christians who practiced their faith. There were also streets or neighborhood blocks wherein the satanists could not penetrate because it was covered by the prayers of the saints.

As there are many terrorist threats reported by the intelligence community in the natural, we are aware of the wiles of the enemy of our souls. We must not grow weary in praying and interceding for our children, loved ones, neighborhood, city, region, and nation. Let us heed the admonition of our Lord Jesus to watch and pray.
