… Here's the deal, Psalms 91. I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge. He's my strength. He is my God in whom I will trust. It says, I will say of the Lord. It doesn't say, and I will think of the Lord. it doesn't say I will contemplate of the Lord. It says I will say, because some things just need to be said. Some things need to be said. I have found for me, it's a strength for me when I'm in a rough place. In fact, Benny and I will sit together on the couch. We'll pray together and we will make this statement. We trust you, Father. You are our refuge. You are our strength. You're our hiding place. We trust you. We trust you. and make the decree, make the proclamation. Don't let it be passive. Don't let it be just some passive comment of agreement. It's no. Apparently, things come into my life by what comes out of my mouth. And so I am going to make a decree. …
… I would like for him to do that. Psalms 91 said, I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. God said, because you love me, you will rescue me. What if in the middle of your situation and your dark and broken hour, you just begin to say to God, God in Psalm 91, I don't feel it right now. I don't understand it. None of it's making sense. But in Psalm 91, you said, because you love me, you will rescue me. Because you love me, you will rescue me. That I can find shelter. I can find help in your shadow according to your words. So God, give me that now. If you don't know a book to pray in the Bible, turn to Ephesians. Paul wrote this. He said, I pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation that you might know him better. I pray that over my babies every day, that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you might know the hope to which he has called you. …
… 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 will I trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers. Under His wings you shall take refuge. His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

Because you have made the Lord who is my refuge, even the most high your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. …
… He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. For it is he who delivers you from the snare of the trap and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions. Under his wings you may seek refuge. His faithfulness is a shield and a bulwark. And a bulwark is like a solid wall-like structure to protect us. Listen to that. When we come to those times that we wonder what in the world is going on and we have fear, he says we're to run to the refuge. He says he's a refuge and he's a fortress. He's a bulwark.
