91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of theAlmighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

PSALM 91

4 Points
Read v1.
1. Dwell in His Presence – in Hebrew – Yashab which means to remain in, to reside in, to be married to and to inhabit. This depicts a measure of permanency.
You see, God is not a temporary or one-time God. He is an Eternal God.
Naturally, while man wants to experience instant healing or to see a quick move of God, or even a sign by God, God didn’t have the short term in mind for you. Instead while we think in the short term, God who is an Eternal God has a long term relationship, an Eternal relationship in mind for each of His children.
When you are dwelling in the secret place of the Most High God, you are hidden from many things of the world. That is why it is called the secret place. While we have some challenges, there are many, many carnal things that the child of God simply doesn’t encounter. Satan is on a leash and there is still much evil that God has not allowed us to experience.
Therefore, We trust and find safety in His arms.
Matthew 6:6 Jesus told us that when we pray, we should go to our secret place, close the door and pray to the Father who is in secret, and He will reward you openly.
Read v2.
2. SAY I will say, He is my refuge.
“Consider both the power and agreement when words are intentionally spoken by faith and in alignment with God’s Word and God’s Will.
Mark 11:23 says, For sure, I say to you whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believe those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
When you speak you wrap your words with faith and expect what you have spoken to occur. By faith, in reverence, speak, ask God specifically, and it will be done for you.
Point 1 – Dwell in the secret place of the Most High God
Point 2 – Say, He is my refuge
Read v11.
3. Don’t worry. You are not alone.
Verse 11 informs us that we are not by ourselves. His word confirms that we have angels encamped around us and Hebrews 1:14 says Aren’t all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Therefore, God who knows what we need before we ask, and provides all of our needs according to His riches in glory also provided our ministerial needs by sending angels to serve us with.
So, Point 3, Don’t Worry, You are not Alone.
Read v13.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Point 4, You Win. You Have the Promised Victory! You shall tread.
That means you shall march upon that which feared you the most. The victory in Christ is Promised to the overcomer. You are more than a conqueror and Greater is He who is in you than He who is in this world. Jesus gave us the victory over sickness, disease and evil when He died on the Cross 2000+ years ago.
Some more Scriptures on the Victory He has promised.
