Clear the road. Burn the brush of unbelief! Your branches belong to Christ Jesus, the vine of righteousness. 

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5

In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Proverbs 12:28

A blooming life with bountiful fruit, your future is budding with promise. So precious are you to the Father, He erects barricades to protect and mark your perimeters. While wolves prowl, they have no permission to devour unless the gate of sin permits them in. For those wise in the Word, the sword of the Spirit is never cast aside; for it locks the door of death and disease. 

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. Leviticus 26:7

Sheltered by your Shepherd, demonic strikes dare not come nigh. Satan is snipped away from your safe pastures. True peace is possible as you dwell in divinity; hidden in His fortress, accessed by faith. 

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.  Psalm 23:2

He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked on toucheth him not. 1 John 5:18

Unlike the world thrashing through thickets and thorns, your passage is prepared by grace. As angels assist and the Word wars, an invisible, invincible and incredible route through this raging world arrives. Private and privy to the Father’s family is a dome of peace. Peace in the deepest sense, referred to as shalom. Shalom is bundled with blessings. Wrapped in righteousness. Arriving in a manager. Peace is the Messiah, sharing Himself with every day people. Give up rationalizing Shalom as Jesus surpasses your understanding. 

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Exodus 23:20

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:11-14

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Thrust your trust into the courts of Christ. Guardrails will be constructed around your heart. Peace can be pooled into a quiet pond within your heart. Unscathed by the evils of tragedy or disease, you pass by with confidence and contentment through this pilgrimage. Stand in awe, refrain from mixing the profane into holiness. Unless personally possessed, no one can perceive this peace called shalom, a Savior. 

He leadeth me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:2

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Ezekiel 22:26

May we conclude before the Christmas celebration by confessing Psalm 91 together. It is the passage of peace, provision and protection. Allow the branches of belief to clear your vision of Christ. Anticipate and watch with wonder as angels lead you into the Secret Place of the Most High.

Psalm 91

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

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.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
