He who dwells 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 I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

Psalms 91:1-4 NKJV

In the 90s and early 2000s Hezbollah fired series of rockets into Israeli population, thereby posing serious security threat to the nation of Israel. This led to the development of an Iron Dome – a mobile all-weather air defense system, designed to intercept and destroy rockets and artillery shells fired into Israeli populated area (Wikipedia). No matter what is fired against you, when you’re within the coverage of the iron dome you’re covered. You’re able go about your normal activities knowing you are protected from every assault of the enemy.

Speaking is the way we activate our divine iron dome. When we speak safety and protection we activate angelic activities to intercept and destroy every rocket launched against us. The hallmark of those who dwell under the shadow of the Lord is that they speak of the Lord’s protection “I will say of the Lord He is my refuge and my fortress… Surely He shall deliver me…”

There is a kind of confidence that comes from abiding in God’s presence, there is an audacity that comes from making the Most High your dwelling place. One that propels you to speak safety and preservation. What you’re saying is a betrayal of where you are dwelling. If you’re dwelling on bad-news estate, insecurity-avenue, no-one-is-safe street, constantly meditating on evil reports, your heart won’t feel safe and it will show in your language and response to happenings around.

In these days of all kinds of attacks, let’s activate our divine iron dome.
