How To Expand The Hedge Around You

Every child of God has a spiritual force-field around him/her. This is a hedge of protection that repels the enemy. The story of Job affirms this fact. Satan had tried unsuccessfully to attack the man, and so he asked God, “Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?” (Job 1:10). Even satan acknowledged that there was a hedge of protection around Job and everything he had until he unfortunately breached it through his wrong confessions (Job 3:23-26). Here was a man who even satan acknowledged was hedged and divinely protected by God, yet he said he was not in safety. He broke the hedge of protection placed around him by God through his negative confession.

Another example is in the New Testament where Ananias and his wife Sapphira broke the hedge around them by lying to the Apostles (Acts 5:1-10). Not only does negative confession affect the hedge around you but lying and doing unscriptural things also destroy the hedge around you. Sin does not affect God nor in His communication to you but it rather affects you and makes you rusty. There is nothing that God tells us to do that is for Him but they are all for our sake.

No child of God should experience sudden calamities because we are all protected by a force-field. No matter how the enemy tries to come at you, the Spirit of God will erect a repellent barrier against him.

Knowing how to expand the hedge around you is very important to prevent you from paving a way for the enemy to damage you. Most people are suffering and going through various problems because they have permitted the enemy into their force-field by not keeping on guard. It is therefore your responsibility to fortify the hedge of protection placed around you by God and extend its perimeter.

How you may ask? If negative confession can be disastrous to the hedge then by talking rightly, you increase the force-field around you. These confessions are not just right talks but should be backed by the Word of God. The Word of God is your safe guard. Secondly, praying in tongues is another great advantage you have in expanding the hedge around you. When something bad happens, instead of talking fear and condemnation, pray fervently in other tongues and talk your faith until the power of God inundates your whole being and saturates the environment. As you do this often, the spiritual force-field around you gets wider and wider, repelling the enemy farther and farther.
