Every child of God carries a spiritual force field of divine protection. The attacks of the enemy are repelled by the hedge God places around His people. However, Scripture shows that this hedge can be weakened or broken through one’s own actions.
Job, for example, compromised his hedge through negative confession. He declared that he was not in safety, and what he greatly feared came upon him. In contrast, Elisha remained spiritually alert and fully aware of God’s protection. When confronted by the king of Aram, he stood confident and blinded the entire army. He responded in faith, not fear.
Activate and maintain the perimeter of God’s protection by speaking His Word over your life and praying fervently in the Spirit. As you do, your hedge remains strong, and every serpent sent against you loses its power.
