P. 13

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in
       the shadow of the Almighty…For it is He who delivers you
       from the snare of the trapper (enemy), and from the deadly
       pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His
       wings you may seek refuge . . .”

       In Isaiah 51:16 God says –
        “I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you
       (believer) in the shadow of my hand.”


         2. The Spiritual  Covering Of God’s Son And His
                            Prayers

       Jesus ascended into Heaven and covers with His prayers
       and intercession all those who draw near to Him through
       His atoning sacrifice –
        “Hence, also, He (JESUS) is able to save to the uttermost those
       who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to
       make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7: 25).

        3. The Spiritual  Covering Of God’s Spirit And His
                      Providential Leading

       The Holy Spirit is given to indwell every believer so that
       He can lead us in God’s plan (John 16: 13). The Holy Spirit
       clothes  us  with  power  (Luke  24:49)  and  covers  us  with
       a  garment  of  praise  (Isaiah  61:1–  4)  –  love,  joy,  peace,
       patience, kindness, goodness, meekness, faithfulness and
       self control, when we allow Him to control us.

       Remember, when Satan wanted to spiritually attack Job, he
       complained to God –
