There is a place in Christ Jesus where we abide in the secret place of God’s protection. The world knows nothing about this secret place, nor can they live there…. It is a place revealed by the Holy Spirit. It is for the obedient. Our life is hid with Christ in God.

That was a word from the Lord revealed to Gloria Copeland years ago, and it still holds true today. God is a covenant-keeping God, and He has made a covenant of protection with YOU. A covenant is defined as “an unbreakable agreement between two parties that have joined together as one to support, provide, protect and defend each other.” Psalm 105:8 (KJV) says, “He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations.”

If you’ve ever had any doubts about His desire to keep you safe, let these 14 Scriptures About Your Covenant of Protection build your faith.
