They Shall Not Come Near You

“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.” – Psalm 91:7

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are moments when it seems like the pressures are closing in from every direction, left, right, forward, and backward. You may feel surrounded by battles, enemies, or invisible forces clothed in black. But here’s the truth: the Word of God is unshakable.

God has promised that even though thousands may gather against you, they will not prevail. Whatever schemes the enemy tries, they cannot stand.



1. God’s Promise Still Stands

Psalm 91 isn’t just poetry, it’s a covenant of protection. God reminds us that though the enemy comes in like a flood, His Spirit raises a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

You are not outnumbered, no matter how many rise against you. One with God is the majority.



2. God Is With You in the Valley

Sometimes the valley feels dark, but Psalm 23 gives us confidence:
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me.”

Shadows cannot kill. Storms cannot drown you. Attacks cannot consume you. Why? Because the Shepherd is right there, guiding and comforting you.

3. Victory Belongs to You

Here’s a secret the Lord revealed to me during my own spiritual battles:
The enemy’s greatest weapon is fear.

Fear makes you forget God’s presence. Fear weakens faith. But the moment you let go of fear and hold onto faith, the enemy loses his grip.

Victory starts in the mind. When you know deep inside that God has already secured your future, the enemy trembles, because he knows he’s fighting a losing battle.



4. God Prepares a Table Before You

Psalm 23:5 says:
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

This means God doesn’t always remove your enemies; sometimes He blesses you right in front of them. Your testimony becomes a message all by itself.



A Word of Encouragement

If you are in a season where the battles feel intense, take heart. The intensity means you are close to victory. The enemy is throwing all he has at you because he knows your breakthrough is near.

So don’t give up now. Don’t let fear steal your faith. Stand firm in God’s promises.



Declaration Prayer

“Father, I thank You that though a thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, it shall not come near me. I renounce fear and embrace faith. I declare that every plan of the enemy is destroyed and that I walk in victory, peace, and divine protection. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
