God’s Impregnable Fortress

Hearts around the world are “failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth”, we are safe and can assure these people to “be not terrified” Luke 21:26,9. Here are few texts that we could share with them -

God’s Impregnable Fortress


All Power

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18


Kept Safe

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:5


Before & Behind

For ye shall not go out with haste,

nor go by flight:

for the LORD will go before you;

and the God of Israel will be your rereward. Isaiah 52:12


Then shall thy light break forth as the morning,

and thine health shall spring forth speedily:

and thy righteousness shall go before thee;

the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Isaiah 58:8


Around 

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

so the LORD is round about His people

from henceforth even for ever. Psalm 125:2


Over

He brought me to the banqueting house,

and His banner over me was love. SS 2:4 (See also Romans 8:31-39)


Refuge & Underneath

The eternal God is thy refuge,

and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27


Shadow

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:

my God; in Him will I trust…For He shall give His angels charge over thee,

to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:1,2,11 (See also Psalm 46)


And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind,

and a covert from the tempest;

as rivers of water in a dry place,

as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. Isaiah 32:2


Angels

The angel of the LORD encampeth

round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. Psalm 34:7


Armour

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God Ephesians 6:10-17


Hedge

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Job 1:10


Peace

In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah;

We have a strong city;

salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

Open ye the gates,

that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

whose mind is stayed on Thee:

because he trusteth in Thee.

Trust ye in the LORD for ever:

for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Isaiah 26:1-4


And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7


Great peace have they which love Thy law:

and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 119:165


Comfort

And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 14:16-18


I Have Overcome

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33


No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;

and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,

and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17
