Fresh Fire For Security
THE LAMP DEVOTION
Exodus 13:20-22
20 So they took their journey from Succoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the wilderness. 21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. 22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
The testimony of the Israelites as they travelled through the wilderness was that they were safe and secure from anything that had the potential to destroy them. This passage mentions just one of the ways God ensured His children were safe from enemies. He led them by a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day. Both the cloud and fire are from the same source – the Holy Spirit. Elsewhere it is recorded that the cloud served two purposes, on one hand it was darkness to enemies and on another hand, it was light for the Israelites.
The Holy Spirit continues to be the source of protection for believers today. His mode of operation may not be a physical fire or cloud, but He definitely provides security. The scriptures talk about the Holy Spirit raising a standard against the enemy. We do not know exactly how this happens in the natural. All we know is that under the Holy Spirit’s standard, we are safe.
As often as we abide under the fire of the Holy Spirit, we are safe. Whether His fire burns our enemies or it simply drives them away we do not know. What we are eternally grateful to God for is that we are always safe in His arms.
Prayer
Thank God for shielding and protecting your life from anything the devil throws at you.
Pray that you will always abide under the shadow of the Almighty and be safe.
Father, please help me not to move out of Your protection
Declarations
I declare that I am safe and secure from all alarms. The devil cannot get to steal from me, kill or destroy me or any of my loved ones because of the fire and cloud. God’s fire and cloud is my safe haven. The standard of the Holy Spirit shields me from my enemies. In Him am fully covered. I will not break the hedge and I am not giving the devil an inch. I declare that I abide in the Strong Tower in the name of Jesus.
