“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” – Psalm 91:1

The Bible abounds with PROMISES of DIVINE PROTECTION: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psa.91:1). This refers to safety, refuge, and angelic guard for those dwelling in God’s Presence. Psalm 91 is a prominent biblical passage frequently referred to as the "Psalm of Protection" or the "Soldier's Psalm." It offers profound, hope-filled promises of security, deliverance, and God’s constant Presence, acting as a spiritual shield for believers in turbulent times. Both psalms 91 and 92 assure believers that God is a shield against fear, plague, and enemy attacks. Through faithful declarations, we as individuals, families, or groups, can claim supernatural security, trusting in God’s constant watch over our lives, coming, and going. 

The central theme of today’s meditation psalm is God’s protection and refuge. Those who make the “Most High” their dwelling place are shielded from physical, emotional, and spiritual harm. “The Secret Place" refers to an intimate, consistent, and personal rapport with God, not just a stop gap during crises. The "Shadow of the Almighty" suggests being so close to God that His Power covers and hides the believer from danger. Interestingly, the psalm offers a four-fold description of God – using four names for Him: Most High (sovereign), Almighty (all-powerful), LORD (covenant keeper), and My God (personal relationship) – to emphasize the totality of His protective nature.

Here are some prophetic declarations of Protection, in Jesus’ name:

I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The Lord is my Refuge, my Fortress, my God in whom I trust. No evil shall befall me, and no plague shall come near my dwelling.

The Lord has given His angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways. I am covered by the Blood of Jesus, rescued from every hidden snare and protected from every deadly disease.

The Lord is my Shield and my Buckler; I will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day. I am covered by His feathers, and under His wings, I find safe refuge. My family, health, finances, career, and ministry, are under Divine Covering.

The Lord continually preserves my going out and my coming in from now and forevermore. I walk in authority and tread upon the lion and the cobra; I trample the plans of the enemy, untouched and unhurt.

No weapon of the enemy formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me is condemned in judgement, being my sonship heritage. The Lord is my Defender, and no attack of the enemy shall prevail against me.

I am at peace because the Lord is my Refuge, protecting my spirit, soul, and body. With long life, He satisfied me and shows me His Salvation!
