Protector: Living Under the Coverage of God

Protector – Sermon Notes

Living Under the Coverage of God Pastor Nicole Myers

Tied to Series Theme: Hungering for His Presence

I. The Presence of God Brings Protection

– God’s protection is a blessing that flows from His presence.

– Mothers reflect God’s nature as fierce protectors.

– True peace and deliverance are found in abiding in God, not in circumstances.

– Key declaration: There’s a power greater than chance, a presence deeper than fear, and a Protector who does not sleep or slumber.

Scripture: Psalm 91:1–7

II. Mothers as Earthly Reflections of God’s Protection

– Psalm 91:4 – Like a mother hen, God gathers and shields us.

– Mothers:

– Stand in the gap
– Stay up when we’re sick
– Pray for us when we’re far
– Fight unseen battles on our behalf

Scriptures: Psalm 91:4, Deuteronomy 31:6

III. Protecting the Most Valuable Treasure – The Gospel

– The gospel of grace is our treasure (2 Corinthians 4:7).

– We are fragile vessels, yet God protects the treasure within us.

– In seasons of pressure, God guards what He has placed in us.

Quote: “Grace is not the absence of the struggle, it is the presence of protection.” – Sarah Jakes Roberts

IV. Experiencing God’s Protection Through the Power of Agreement

– Speak the truth of God’s Word aloud—”I will say…” (Psalm 91:2).

– Power is released when we verbalize God’s promises.

– Biblical examples: David, Joshua, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego.

– Agreement with fear = bondage
– Agreement with God’s Word = freedom and peace

Question: What are you walking in agreement with—fear or faith?

Scriptures: Psalm 91:2, Joel 3:10

V. God’s Supreme Authority Over Every Threat

– God’s authority protects us even when threats form.

– Weapons may form but will not prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

– Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced the fire but were not burned.

– The enemy custom-designs traps to lure us.

– Be aware of his schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 6:11).

– Godly mothers sense danger and pray ahead of time.

VI. God Warns Us to Protect Us

– God gives warnings through:

– Others’ counsel
– Sermons
– A still, small voice
– Scripture

– Reasons we may ignore God’s warnings:

– Stubbornness
– Pride
– Deceptive appearances

– Self-will and rebellion build a wall between us and God’s protection.

VII. God Stands Between Us and the Storm

– Exodus 14:19–20 – God places Himself between us and harm.

– Sometimes our greatest miracle is what didn’t happen.

– We are invited not to take control but to take heart.

– Prayer is for communion, not control.

– God does more with our surrender than we can with control.

Scriptures: Psalms 32:7, John 16:33

Closing Encouragement

For Mothers: Your protective love and prayers are a reflection of God’s heart.

For Everyone: No matter your age or stage—God is still watching, covering, and protecting you under the shadow of the Almighty.
