THERE IS COMPLETE PROTECTION FOR YOU

SERIES: DIVINE PROTECTION FOR YOU

TEXT: PSALM 91:7-10

These four verses give us a revelation of our complete protection. When you are full of courage and void of any kind of fear. When you put your trust in God, then all your enemies will scatter before you. Nothing will move you any longer. Such is the assurance in the verses above.
