Select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee. They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly. Numbers 35-11, 12 New International Version
Just as in the Old Testament times someone who accidently killed someone could and would take sanctuary in a city of refuge so too do we have a city of refuge in Christ. He will protect us from the dangers of the devil and his demons who want to kill our spirit. When they attack us we take refuge in the protection of Christ’s loving strong arms. Oh they may hurt or destroy our body but our spirit will be protected by Jesus.
It is equally important to remain in Jesus’ city because of we do not then we are fair game for the evil ones.
Don’t you think that is why there are some many addicts and murders today? Because they are not in Christ’s city they are open to demonic forces that not only destroy them but also many innocent others.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Shammah (God is present) for being the strong undefeatable city we can take sanctuary in to protect us from satan and his minions. Please give me the wisdom and strength to always remain in Your impenetrable fortress. I give thanks and request this in Your strong and mighty name. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus' precious love bless you today and every day.
