Ps 91 speaks about hiding under the wings of the almight. What an intimate experience to embrace our beloved lord so close. John leaned on to the bossom of our dear Lord.  Lets see what the benefits of Intimacy with God is from Psalm 91.  

Benefit#1 – Sure Deliverance

Surely He shall deliver you…Ps 91:3  Not “if” or “maybe” or “sometimes”…But SURE deliverance. God of Daniel gave him Sure deliverance in the Lion’s Den. God of Shadrach, Mesach and Abendego gave them Sure deliverance from the burning furnace.   

Benefit#2 – Personal Protection

He shall cover you with His feathers …Ps 91:4  A picture of a hen trying to hide its chicks under her wings from the eagles. God takes personal interest in protecting his intimate ones.  God cared for the Children of Israel and protected her in the wilderness. There was a cloud by day and Pillar of fire by night guiding them. He allowed no enemy to touch them.  “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.’”   (Ps 105:15)  

Benefit#3 – Holy Boldness

You shall not be afraid …Ps 91:5 As we spend intimate time with Jesus there is an impartation of Holy Boldness.  Acts 4:13 -Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Peter and John were Bold because of being with Jesus. They received an impartation of Holy Boldness.   

Benefit#4 – Angelic Activity

For He shall give His angels charge over you…Ps 91:11 There is strong angelic activity around Intimate intercessor. Examples of these are Daniel during his 21 day fast had Angels come and speak to him and war with the prince of Persia. Jesus after his 40 day fast and overcoming the Devil was ministered to by angels. Jacob prayed at Bethel and saw Angels ascending and descending on the Ladder the reached upto Heaven.  Angels protect you and fight for you and minister to you as you pray. 

Benefit#5 – Dominion and Authority

“You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot”. …Ps 91:11  You start to walk in Authority. You start to trample upon the Lion (King of the Jungle) and Cobra (also called KING cobra). God has given you authority to destroy the works of darkness.  I John 3:8 – “…The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” Luke 10.19 – Jesus says, “I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing shall by any means harm you.”             

Benefit#6 – Divine Favor and Promotions

“I will set him on high, because he has known My name”. …Ps 91:14     God will start lifting you up and honoring you.   1 Sam 2:30 – for those who honor me I will honor     Promotions will come from God.   Ps 75:6-7 – For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the       south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.  

Benefit#7 – Long Life

“With long life I will satisfy him”. …Ps 91:16  God will bless you with long life and satisfaction. If you are looking for the fountain of youth and long life. Drink from the well of his presence in the secret place.                           God Bless. Your fellow Soldier, Biju Joy
