God has planned for you to live a long time. He has planned for you to live by faith.

Satan is after our immune system.

Those that worry all night is hard on their immune system.

Our immune system does a whole lot of work for us.

When you’re asleep at night Your immune system is working

Cells are being discharged and restored.

He meant for you to sleep.

When you get up in the morning it’s almost like Jesus being raised from the dead.

It’s like you went into a state where you didn’t consciously know what happened but God took care of you.

While you were sleep God was cleansing your body.

When your immune system isn’t working properly things don’t get cleansed.

The system isn’t repairing things.

It isn’t Keeping the arteries flowing freely

Satan comes after the spiritual and natural immune system.

The spiritual immune system can be found in Psalm 34:7, Psalm 91 and Job1:8-10

Angels are part of our spiritual immune system

Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Psalms 91:5-10

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thyhabitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.”

We have a spiritual wall of protection.

Job‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.”

‭‭

That hedge is spiritual protection

How did that protection get down

Through Job’s fear and his words

He tour that hedge down

Next thing you know he had sores from the bottom of his feet to the crown of his head

What kept that blessing hedge up Faith kept it up

And faith will keep it up in your life

The enemy wants to get through

He does it through ignorance of the word ,unbelief, fear, doubt and shame so the hedge won’t protect you.

‭‭Every virus, disease and germ that touches your body supposed to die instantly because of your immune system. That immune system is put together by faith.

Pray According to 1 Peter 1:5 That the keeping power of God is keeping my immune system strong in the power of his might.

And we also do things naturally trying to build that immune system and do things like eating right things and that’s fine

But there is a spiritual immune system and it needs to be kept in place and we do that by faith!

The bulk of what we know about Jesus’ birth comes directly from Jesus’ mother.

Before Luke wrote about the birth of Jesus, he interviewed Mary, and it was Mary who vividly told Luke about all the miraculous events that he then wrote about in the gospel of Luke.

Mary’s memory of these amazing events is referred to in Luke 2:19 where the Bible says, “But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.”

The word “kept” in the Greek means to keep within oneself in order to closely guard or accurately and carefully preserve, and the word “ponder” means to lay in order, to bring together like a person who carefully chronicles a story.

Mary was so impacted by this amazing sequence of events in her life and in the life of Jesus that she arranged in order all of it in her heart and carefully preserved her memories of it all.

It is amazing to me that if Mary had not kept a record of all these events in her heart and mind, we would not know about them today.

But because she so valued what she had seen God do in her life and in the life of Jesus, she was able to tell the gospel writers the entire account in vivid detail.

Mary’s remembrance of the miraculous events in her life was so clear that she vividly related all the following occurrences to Luke in perfect order

And you can catch that on recording as I went through all the Scriptures last week. You can read what Mary told Luke in the first two chapters of Luke.

Just as Mary shared details of her life with Luke, she told Matthew about many events that she preserved in her heart and mind so vividly — adding significant events that occurred after the holy family returned to Nazareth.

You can read what Mary told Mathew in the first two chapters of Mathew.

As we think about Mary’s remembrance it will make us want to ask — have I preserved my memories of what God has done in my life so vividly that I can share them with someone else?

Have we been careful to remember the works of the Lord in our life?

Or have you forgotten what God has done, or let those things slip because so much time has passed?

If you’ve let those workings of God slip in your life, it’s not too late to pause and take stock of those things again, pondering them deeply and preserving them in your memory like Mary did.

Whether it’s using a composition notebook a steno pad a journal something where you can write down all of the workings of God in your life.

Even have a notebook at your bedside that when you get a word from the lord you can write it down

This is your life and this is your story. You have a testimony to share. Your name is in the book of life. And your name will add other names to the book as you share the workings of God in your life.
