Memory verse: Christ defends and protects me.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

Spring speaks of new life, resurrection, and “Becoming.”As Christ rose from the dead, a new spiritual
reality was placed upon mankind. Those who believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, are granted eternal life. Our mortal bodies will be raised to immortality, at the Rapture.

We are promised that angels surround us and defend us from the snare of the devil…often unbeknownst to us.

In my book, The Erstwhile Acorn, I share the “God Things,” that brought me to become an author.

We all pray,”God give me a sign! Let me know which way to go!” It took 7 years for God to answer my prayer; “Get re-certified to teach elementary.”

After I began teaching Kindergarten, my sister urged me to get my masters Degree. My answer; “I just started teaching again. I have two boys doing football, and 3 sons in 3 different schools. God will have to lay it in my lap.”

One week later, I called my sister: “You better sit down, because God is gonna blow your mind!” “Wright State Univ. is coming to our high school one day a week, for 3 years for a Masters Program. I’m in!”

God defended me! He brought me into that special realm, that spiritual reality, that only He can maneuver.

So if you are praying for an answer, hold on. Angels will defend and protect you in time of trouble. God will bring you his answer, at the appointed time.

Each of us has a Guardian Angel that God gives us at birth. I know that my Guardian Angel has protected me many times. There was an incident in my college years; it was God and only God, who protected me.

As my son was throwing a bale of hay out of the barn, by the law of physics, he should have landed 20 feet below. He felt a Divine Force pull him back.

Praise you, Father, for the reality of your angels who defend us. They are real. They are beside us protecting us. Never fear…God’s army of angels surround us.

Thank You, Father, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: My Holy Word in Isaiah states: My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, as My ways are higher than your ways. I can give you the desires of your heart, at the appointed time. I know what is best for you. Trust me. I have sent my angels to guard you and defend you. Here is the Guardian Angel Prayer:
Angel of God, My Guardian Dear, to whom God’s love entrusts me near. Ever this day be at my side to light, to guard, to rule, to guide. Amen. Know that you are seen in the spiritual realm as a devoted child. I will send angels to protect you. I love you.
Your,
ABBA, Father

Psalm 91:11 For He will give his angels charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all of your ways. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Psalm 18:29 With your help, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall.

Joshua 1:5-9 “No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will go with you, wherever you go.
