The Hedge of Protection 0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the god of all things possible. He's the god of all0:22 miracles.0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:55 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the show today. We're gonna be talking about the hedge of protection. Did y'all know you have that? Like, God says in Job that he1:07 will place a hedge of protection around us, and Job prayed that. And he also prayed that it was so big that the enemy would complain about it. I mean, who doesn't want that? Think about1:19 this hedge. Like, I always envision, like, some giant wall, like a giant, you know, I I I think, you know, Israel. I think those kind of walls, like the hedge, not necessarily thinking of a bush.1:31 This is a1:31 hedge. And this is like like walls that chariots can drive on. That's how I picture it. Let it be so huge and so fortified because if the devil complains about it because he can't1:43 get to you because it's so big, that's what I'm gonna picture. I'm gonna take it. And so we're gonna take this wall that's this hedge with with made of stone and brick and all things fortified1:55 that it cannot come down. And you know 1 of the 3 things that I always pray and I've been praying forever is that is that God would cover me and my family in the blood of Jesus, put a2:07 hedge of protection around us so huge the enemy complains about it, and sent his angels to encamp around us at all times, protecting us and delivering us from all harm. And so, you know, and I I I kinda2:19 I pray these things all the time, and it it's like those are all scriptures, all available to us. And so when you know that that's for you, did you know you could pray for a hedge of protection?2:31 Then think about that. Wrap that around your kids, around everything. Right? And you know I've been praying for forever.2:37 Yeah. That a hedge of protection would would, guard them, but, you know, and and also, you know, as you're praying for a hedge of protection, I learned this,2:49 and it was it was like we my family, got saved around the same time. Like, I got saved when I was 7 in about, you know, it was about3:01 8 years later when I was 15 that my parents began to go through a very hard time spiritually, and it was like a satanic attack. And they didn't know who to go3:13 to, and they didn't know how to fight it. They knew that it had to be spiritual because of the scary things that were going on around them, and they it woke them up. And so they were asking God for a3:24 protect for protection, but they they didn't really know how to pray. So they went to a priest, and thank God for the priest because he taught them to pray protection and3:36 a hedge, and he he taught them to pray to plead the blood of Jesus over themselves, over the house, over, their3:48 family. And when they began to plead the blood over our family, our household began to change. And so, I I find that so interesting, you4:00 know, because we grew up, you know, and I've shared this before. I grew up watching, you know, every year at Easter, we watched the children of Israel. They were, you know, getting out of Egypt.4:12 And, and then, you know, Pharaoh wouldn't let them go, and they put the lamb's blood on the door. And as a result of the lamb's blood, the death angel had to pass4:24 over those houses. And because I had watched that show every year at Easter on 1 of the 3 networks that were on at that time, I understood, well, that blood4:36 is the lamb's blood. And who's the lamb? Jesus himself. And so we can have protection over ourselves, over our family. I you know, every time I get on a4:47 plane, you know, when I get on a plane, I'm like, Lord, I plead the blood. It's me again. You know? Here I am pleading the blood asking you to protect, you know, us as we fly. Let4:59 angels get under there. And if even if it has trouble, I pray if the engines fall out, who cares? Got your angels that are gonna come up under there and hold us up and protect us, put a hedge of protection.5:11 True. I I picture the same thing. Like, I picture God picking up the plane in Houston and landing it wherever I'm going. Just him just carried it over.5:20 Yep. And just because he said we can have protection. We can have a hedge.5:25 The actual scripture in Job, think about what this is. It's it's Job 1 9 through 12. Have you not put a hedge of protection around him? This is the enemy5:37 is speaking to God about this because he's the 1 asking to sift Job like wheat. He wants he he wants he thinks that he's gonna get Job to curse God because he's5:49 gonna bring all of these these atrocities and afflictions on him. And so he says, have you not put a hedge of protection around him, his house, and all he has on every side? You have blessed6:00 the work of his hands, and you have given him prosperity and happiness, and his possessions have increased in the land. So think about that. So God has had the devil's complaining6:12 that there's this huge hedge of protection around him. He's complaining that God had prospered him, that God had blessed him, that God had given him, you know, protection on every side over6:24 his family, over his possessions, over everything. Okay. So he was Job loved the Lord, and he, no matter what was going on, no matter all the things that that that6:36 he gave him, diseases, he his the devil tied all his kids to die. All these things. You imagine. Even his wife was saying curse God and die. His friends were coming against him and telling him all those things.6:49 But what did God do? God God restored double everything that he lost because he would not waver in his faith of knowing that God was with him and God would not7:01 leave him and God was gonna deliver him from all of this. He never ever cursed God, and I think about it. I I don't know what I would do if all my kids died or all of these things. Like, I I7:12 can't imagine, like, the faith that he had over that.7:15 Well, and then his friends came to him and said, hey, Job. You must be unrighteous. There's got to be sin in your life. I mean, they were terrible. And and I I love the scripture that talks about when Job prayed7:27 for those friends who were telling him, you know, well, God must be mad at you, Job, because you're going through7:33 all this.7:34 Have you ever heard of that? You know? Some that for a while, that's how people would be in the church. There was a time when there was just a prosperity gospel. And if you weren't being blessed at all times, if you7:46 were sick, if whatever, then, you know, something terrible. You had done something terrible. And that Job didn't do anything. It was your fault. He was blameless in all of this. And I love7:58 the scripture. This is when Job prayed for those friends, then God restored him. And so even when we are being kinda cursed by our friends and when we so you you8:10 find out who your real friends are when you go through a lot. And Job went through a lot. I mean, he even had boils. Mhmm. I mean, think about that. And his wife, like you said, you know, curse God, die.8:21 You're the closest people to you are discouraging you and telling you, well, you must have done something. And God God was all for8:33 Job, and he restored everything to him. I love that.8:37 Yes. We're gonna talk more about this hedge of protection when we come right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.8:44 Just like all of you, I had problems sleeping. I had tried every pillow out there and nothing worked.

It is yours. If it says it in9:56 this in this Bible, in this word, you can have it. And, you know, I I always think, well, what's this hedge made of? You know, can we I talked about how I think it's stone and all that, but it also could be like a hedge10:07 of angels. Like, you know, angels are encamping around us all the time, protecting us, leading us, guiding us, plucking us out of harm's way, because it says in Psalm 91 that he will give angels charge over us, to guard10:18 us in all of our ways. So there's the protection that they don't even want us to dash our foot against the stone, which means trip or stub a toe. And so think about that. Like, God was so specific to put that in10:30 the Bible that they he cares so much about us that he doesn't even want you to, like, you know, hurt your foot on a stone, you know, so think about that. That's how much he wants to protect you10:41 and send angels to protect you and and to put a hedge. And so a lot of times when I pray, I in my neighborhood or I'll I'll go outside and I'll stand in my yard and ask10:53 for angels to surround my house, to surround to be on the roof, on the balconies, to be at every doorway, every window, to be at the corners of the yard, and then I'll say, and then be at the neighbors and be in the11:05 neighborhood, the community, and I just keep branching out. And and and asking for that hedge of protection and for the angels' protection to guard me in all my ways, to guard my home, my families, and I'll place them at11:17 my kids' homes and wherever they're going, coming and going, workplaces everywhere, because I know that that's available to me to ask for. And so when you know these things and you know you have11:29 this available to you, then you know that that's mine. Okay? So, the angels are subject to our command. That they they when you it it says the minute we pray, they're commanded, and11:41 they go, and they and they take care of things. It it says this in Daniel, the very minute we pray, the angels are dispatched. That's what it says. So can you picture them? Just dispatched. And I I think11:53 about it a lot of times that are there this is this is a 9 0 9 ology. Are angels just sitting around a lot of times because we haven't prayed for them to be take their post or to go do12:05 what we've asked them to do? Like, how many angels are just sitting there going, I wish I had something to do today. Like, do you ever just think of that? Like, that's that's just me. It's like12:14 No. I I love that. And and the Bible says, don't you know that the that angels are sent to the sons and daughters of salvation? So if you have been saved, you are angel12:26 eligible. Yeah. And so you can call on the Lord, and he will send angels. And and there's no angel shortage, you know, so we can we can have angels.12:38 And and Evens of them we can ask for. Exactly. And and and the Bible talks about, you know, like, if that that that God is the captain of the host. So there are warring12:50 angels. There you know? Think about all this. There are messengers. When when we think about that between us, like, the Bible says the kingdom of13:01 heaven is at hand.13:03 Mhmm.13:03 So think about that. It's just right here. There is our world, the physical world, and then right here is the kingdom of heaven. And we can have the the the hedge of13:14 protection. We can have the angels of the Lord, encamping around those who love and trust him. If if the Bible says that angels are camped out,13:26 then I'm thinking my my yard is a camping ground because I love the Lord, and he protects us. So he watches over us. And and and just always pray.13:38 Don't forget because the Bible does say we have not because we ask not. So we can ask the Lord to dispatch these angels and and and and put up a hedge of protection13:50 around this and and cover us in the blood of Jesus that the enemy has to pass over us and over everything that would, harm us in any way, be it our finances,14:02 our accounts, you know, our homes, our cars, if we're wherever we are, you know, God is with us. And and this incredible kingdom that is14:14 always advancing is is is is here with us. And and I don't understand all the angels and and and all of those things. I know that a third of the angels fell with Satan,14:27 but but God has the Bible says innumerable angels that we can ask and and pray for and ask for protection, and I love that.14:36 Yeah. Well, think about a legion, where it says legions of angels. A legion is 6000. So and there's he said he'll send legions of angels. Amen. Think about that. And, you know, you've hear accounts and even when it14:48 talks about the size of some of the angels in the Bible. And so I I think about that as there's certain angels that do certain things. Maybe think about the angels that might come and take care of babies, and yet the15:00 ones who are gonna come to do battle in the in the darkness of the world, in the spiritual realm. Like, so I think that God, you know, if you read about the different angels, so think about the the angel15:12 of the Lord, the death angel that wiped out a hundred and 85000 men that were corrupt and evil in 1 night. So, you know, I don't think that was any small being.15:24 I don't Well, and15:25 I love how specific God is. Yes. Because he extracted the evil. Mhmm. Only the evil.15:32 Yeah.15:32 And and and he left the good.15:34 He left the good.15:35 I love that. And sometimes when I don't know how to pray and I think there's evil all around, but yet they're still good, I pray, God, extract it. Just extract it. Surgically remove it Yes.15:47 Like that Yes. Particular instance.15:49 And, you know, so think about 1 angel, 1 night, did all that. And and that's that's our God. How big is our God? And so if if 1 angel can do that when he says16:01 legions of them, and, you know, and we get that. We get to have that hedge of protection that he talks about in Job. It's available to us too. And, you know, and I but think about the faith Job16:13 had to trust God no matter what was happening to him, and that's where we need to activate our faith in a in a in a stronger way to to know these things are available to us.16:25 Know that God wants these things for you. He wants you protected. He wants you safe. He wants your family safe. He hears your prayers. You know, I'll I'll if I can't, you know, I remember when my kids were younger,16:38 you know, college and otherwise, you know, and you can't find them, you don't know where they are, or they're not answering their phone. I would just kind of freak out about a lot of that stuff. And it's like I still16:48 kind of do. Like, I just want, I I don't know. It's like a thing, and I I have to really pray about that. But but I'll said, Lord, send angels to to have them call me right now. Send angels to watch over them,17:00 to guide them, and to help me, you know, know where they are, to give me peace about a certain situation. Like, sometimes I'll just wake up in the middle of night and somebody's on my mind, or something's disturbing me,17:09 and I'll say, Lord, send angels right now to that place or that person or that assign it's when someone's when someone's on your mind or your heart, just know that that's almost like a divine calling or17:21 a divine appointment to pray for them, send angels. I don't know what's going on, Lord, but you do send angels right now, you know, to intervene in this situation. We're gonna talk more about the hedge of protection when17:32 we come right back. Stay right there.17:33 This past year has been 1 of the hardest in MyPillow's history. It's because of you that we're making it through.

We are talking about God's hedge of protection and, and how God had such a huge hedge of protection around Job, and that so much so18:46 that Satan complained. Satan himself complained. And I remember years ago, when my children were smaller, I, was just going through 1 trial18:58 after the other after the other, and it just was like, Lord, what happened to my life? And I I had a friend from church who said, you're just like19:09 Job. I'm like, no. Did did you read the story of Job? I'm like, no. But19:16 I don't have any boils.19:17 I did say that. I said, I don't have any boils.19:20 I know you too well.19:21 And and so, guys, I promise you I'm not making this up. I went like this when I said that, and I had something on the back of my neck. It felt like, you know,19:33 like a zit. I had the chicken pox. I'm not kidding. They had the will. An adult mama with the chicken pox. My kids had the chicken pox. I mean, that is nothing compared to19:45 Job. But I was feeling so sorry for myself. I'm talking major pity party. Boils. I have boils, god. I have boils. Of course, nothing19:57 compared to Job, you know, and thank you church person. Yeah. I hope you don't remember who it is. But, yeah, sometimes church people can say some things, right, to encourage you.20:09 But I really did get the chickenpox right right after I said, and I don't have boils. And, you know, sometimes it can feel like that hedge of protection has been removed. It has not20:21 been removed. God is with you even in the midst of it. And now when I go back and look at that time, I think about, god, you were so close to me at that time. I thank you for20:33 that. It was so precious, how I, you know, just felt your presence. And over and over and over, God's presence was he was there.20:45 And, shortly after my chicken pox, I I went in, and I don't know if you've ever heard about the message of tongues and interpretations. It's in the word. And it you20:57 don't see it a lot in churches now, but I am grateful for it, and, I believe in it. And I'll tell you why. I, right after my chicken pox, I was walking into church still going through the21:09 same trial, had 2 little babies in my hands and, dragging them in there. And and God I said, God after I dropped them off in the nursery, I said, please, you have to tell me21:20 that you're gonna take my feet out of the miry clay and put them on solid rock. And there I'm I'm not kidding. We were in praise and worship, and all of a sudden,21:32 the music just died down. And there was a message in tongues. And the interpretation was, I take your feet out of the miry clay, and I put them on solid21:44 rock. You may feel like your hedge of protection has left you, but God has not left you. And God is still with you, and you're not like Job. And and21:56 God can protect you, and and he will protect you. And I just am so grateful for those times.22:03 And, yes, I mean, like, you know, we have so many stories. We have seen God move in so many different ways in our lives, and and, you know, it's not just to protect you from from, like, harm,22:14 but also to protect you from, you know, anything in life. Like maybe he's gonna protect you from from a divorce or from taking the wrong job or from, you know, just all these things that he22:26 can, you know, deliver you from, protect you from, have angels help you with certain things, you know, so that we make wise choices, wise decisions according to the word of the Lord. When we follow him, we follow22:38 peace. And you know, we can have we can have a hedge of protection around our minds. We can ask for that. I do. Place a hedge around that I have the mind of Christ, that my thoughts are your thoughts, that that, you22:49 know, we don't get get going with, you know, lots of fear and anxiety, that he would give us wisdom to know how to navigate some some of the tumultuous times that are happening right now. I know, you know, right23:01 now we're in a new year and I, you know, you see I saw, you know, it's a Monday today, I saw a church yesterday that our our parking lot was just busting full way way23:13 more than usual, and the church is always pretty full. And I thought well here it is, everybody's got their new year, I'm gonna like start off, I'm gonna I'm gonna go to church and you know, and and you know, what do we23:24 seek that for? For for for a hedge, for protection, for guidance, for wisdom, And yet, you know, I wonder what that parking lot's gonna look like in February or and then even by March or whatever. And so and then people23:35 are racing to the gym because they this new year resolutions, they wanna like lose lose weight. What if God wants us to lose some spiritual weight, which means he says our burdens23:47 need to be light. He said we need to cast our cares onto him, that he would, you know, protect us through all things. And what what if we what if we ran to church and ran to God as much as we're, you know, running to the23:58 gym and to try to do all these other things? What if we need to make sure that we are spiritually fit more than we are physically fit? Because those are the things that are that are so important to God. And24:10 to stay with it, you know, now is I don't know why we need a fresh year to think we have to do all these things. I mean, it's it's available to you always and anytime, anytime. Jump in. Whenever whenever you see24:22 this program, it doesn't matter. Start today. Start in get in the word of God. Get to church when the doors are open. There's the hedge right there. You know, knowing what that word says that is available to24:33 you, praying the scriptures around you, pleading the blood of Jesus over you, that's the hedge that we all need. The hedge of protection that comes only from a relationship with the Lord and knowing that that his24:45 promises are yes and amen, and they are true for you.24:50 Amen. And with that, we're gonna pray the hedge of protection over you. Amen. Lord, I thank you for each person that are that they are watching, they are listening. We ask you25:01 right now, Lord, to put a hedge of protection around each and every 1. Lord, for those who are going through anxiety and mental battles, Lord, we put a hedge of protection around them.25:13 Lord, you have mercy upon them. Lord, I thank you for a hedge of protection around prodigals and children, and we call them back in, Lord. We ask you, God, we plead the blood of Jesus25:25 that that the enemy has to pass over us, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name, we thank you for these protections, Lord. We dispatch angels, over over each 1 of us, and25:37 we thank you for that, Lord. And we ask you that they that you will guard us in our ways. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
