Podcasts about Psalm 91

Many believers are unknowingly involved in witchcraft, yet God is calling us out of witchcraft and idolatry. Being ignorant of what God's Word says about the occult is not an excuse. We must partner with God to root out all occult practices from our lives. 

Before diving into an in-depth study, this episode pauses to let Psalm 91:1 speak for itself. Here we outline exactly what the verse does say, expose what it doesn't, and remind ourselves that Psalm 91:1 is a statement of truth, not a checklist of tasks.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 91:2 — A Prayer for Peace and Freedom from AnxietyScripture (NIV):“I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” — Psalm 91:2 (NIV)Recorded live here in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope.Show NotesAnxiety often whispers what-ifs, but faith declares God is. Psalm 91 reminds us that safety is not found in control but in trust. “He is my refuge and my fortress.” When storms rise, we find shelter beneath His wings.Across the nations, hearts are weighed by worry and restlessness. Yet this Psalm speaks calm to the chaos. God does not promise a storm-free life — He promises a secure one. Peace is not the absence of trouble; it's the presence of trust.When we confess “my God, in whom I trust,” we exchange panic for presence. Anxiety shrinks when faith is spoken aloud. Every word of Psalm 91 builds a wall of peace around the soul.Whatever you face today — news, noise, or the unknown — run to the refuge. He never turns away those who trust Him. Breathe deeply and rest under the shadow of the Almighty.10 Global Prayer PointsLord, replace anxiety with Your perfect peace.Cover families struggling with fear and stress.Heal minds troubled by worry and doubt.Protect communities in times of crisis.Strengthen those fighting mental exhaustion.Bring rest to those who cannot sleep.Fill nations with the peace of Christ.Break the chains of fear and control.Let faith arise in every believer's heart.Thank You, Lord, for being our refuge and fortress.Life ApplicationPeace is not earned — it is received through trust. Declaration: God is my refuge and my fortress; I rest secure in Him.Call to ActionShare this prayer for peace and freedom from anxiety.

Deliverance is a spiritual house cleaning. We are responsible for 3 areas. 1. Personally. 2. Getting witchcraft out of your family. 3. Purging the Land of Evil. God means for witchcraft to be destroyed and completely removed from your life. And it's not just evil that gets us in trouble. It is when we try to mix good and evil together. Comprise or agreement with the enemy at any level leaves an open door for the enemy. In Acts 19 they destroyed all the witchcraft books and objects by fire. Even objects from witchcraft must be removed. God wants and is willing to set you completely free, but witchcraft has to be completely cut out of your life.  

Episode 18 of 'Beyond the Call' explores the powerful connection between Psalm 91 and music. Host Nicole Harris delves into spiritual themes, sharing her personal journey from Mormonism to Christianity. Through music and conversation, the episode offers insight into faith, deliverance, and spiritual awakening, featuring performances and discussions that aim to inspire and uplift.

Don't ignore satan - answer him. When Satan sends thoughts our way, many times we ignore them instead of answering with the Word. The enemy's thoughts and temptations don't simply disappear by ignoring them. They continue to build until the enemy traps us. It is vital to answer the enemy with the Word until we get the victory.  

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPrayer 2 — Psalm 91 : 1-2 (NIV) — Whoever Dwells in the Shelter of the Most High | Global Prayer for Divine Protection and Safety | Reverend Ben Cooper | RB Christian Radio London | DailyPrayer.uk PodcastScripture (NIV): “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” — Psalm 91 : 1-2 (NIV) Recorded live in London, England — a global prayer of faith for God's divine covering, angelic safety and supernatural peace in every nation.Show NotesAcross the world, millions search “prayer for protection,” “divine covering,” and “God keep me safe.” Psalm 91 remains the most searched and spoken prayer of safety for believers in every generation. In this powerful daily devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper declares the timeless truth that the Lord is our fortress. From London to Lusaka, from Accra to Atlanta, the same God who covered Israel in the wilderness still guards His people today. When fear surrounds the nations, faith builds a refuge. When danger rises, the shadow of the Almighty stretches over His own. God's Word promises that those who dwell in His presence will find rest and security.Psalm 91 is not poetry alone — it is a covenant of protection. Every believer who abides under the blood of Jesus walks beneath the Father's covering. This is the season to rebuild trust in God's protection, not in human systems. As you listen, let the Word shield you from fear and fill you with courage. Your life is hidden with Christ in God — and no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Reverend Ben leads a global prayer for every listener, inviting the Church worldwide to declare: “The Lord is my refuge and my fortress.”10 Global Prayer Points (Long-Tail Keywords)Prayer for divine protection and safety.Prayer for God's covering over my family.Prayer for angelic guardians and supernatural defence.Prayer for protection while travelling and working.Prayer for peace and security in dangerous times.Prayer for God to shield me from harm and evil.Prayer for faith to trust God's refuge daily.Prayer for safety of children and homes.Prayer for deliverance from fear and anxiety.Prayer to abide under the shadow of the Almighty.Life ApplicationDeclare Psalm 91 : 2 aSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Who do you place your soul next to? Soul ties either bring bondage or joy. Healthy soul ties should have a peaceful and settling influence on you. Jonathan loved David as himself, and their souls were knit together. It is so important to understand how God set it up. We are to love God more than we love ourselves, and we are to love those God has placed in our lives the same as we love ourselves. If God is not included in your relationship or you love another person more or less than you love yourself, it will become unhealthy. Loving God with your heart, soul, and mind creates an emotional intimacy that fills every other relationship in your life, but loving something witchy or dark will bring in emotional destruction. It is a necessity to have the Lord wrap the whole thing together because it is impossible to stand and endure in life without His great love.

We are caretakers of the mysteries of God that are to be revealed in these end days. As believers, our faithfulness is under investigation. We are in a time where everything and everyone is being shaken. Consistency with what God is revealing to us is necessary to remain faithful to God. Have you been faithful with the revelation God has entrusted to you?

Today Marilyn would like to invite you to take a walk through the unique promises from God found in Psalm 91. His Word applies to every situation, circumstances, and season.

Are all around you terrors, wickedness, fowlers, pestilence, arrows, and destruction? Then you are in the right place.Psalm 91 is where you can go to dwell in the shelter of the Most High and Abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  May I recommend being so close to Him that His shadow falls upon you?  Join me for 7 minutes to attach us to that very shadow. https://youtu.be/TJaNBez9Cbs

Are you hooked on a feeling? Soul ties are meant to be good, healthy, and from God, but when the enemy uses them for his purposes, they must be broken. When we have agreed with the enemy in any area, we must acknowledge the agreement, repent, and renounce until the soul tie is broken. Never before have we had visual simulation in the way we do today. TV, movies, and videos can open you up to a soul tie, causing you to relate deeply to something that isn't of God. Horror movies especially mix fear with fascination. The enemy is working to make it so that you are not a threat to his kingdom. But don't fall for his schemes. Don't train yourself with fear. Train yourself to overcome fear with the Name of Jesus.

There are times the enemy comes as a roaring lion, and there are other times Satan comes as a serpent. In Corinthians 11:3, Paul says, "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ." When the enemy comes as a serpent, he is looking to bring deception into our lives. This battle always starts in our mind first. But the good news is that if we recognize the scheme of the enemy when it is just at the thought level, it is much easier to defeat. 

There are things, as believers, that ought not be in our lives. Many times, we settle for crumbs when God has promised us bread. Jesus loosed a woman from an infirmity she had had for 18 years. In Jesus' words, what was happening to her should never have been. It is those demonic things that should have never been that God calls us to defeat. Our assignment is to take back territory that remains in the hands of the enemy so we can see the fullness of God's will in our time.

Are you right in the middle of a storm? Storms come to steal our peace. But we can decide to hold on to our peace no matter the storm. Fear comes and tries to tell us God doesn't care. But remember, Jesus calmed every storm while He walked the earth. God is never the one sending storms. God is our hiding place, our fortress in the midst of the storm. He is the one speaking, 'Peace, be still to the storm.' John 6:33 says, "in Jesus we have perfect peace, and in the world we have tribulation, but take courage, Jesus has overcome the world."

Discernment is a gift that few seem to have. It is also a stewardship. Without the Fear of the Lord, your discernment will not be clean. Being adamant or sloppy will not get you to the heart of the Lord. Discernment is truly a gift that must be treated as Holy unto the Lord.  When we are seeking knowledge or insight into a situation that is hidden, our own agenda or desires apart from God will not get us to the right conclusion. We should always be testing what we are hearing and holding ourselves accountable to God if we miss it. Having a pure heart that wants what God wants sets you on the path to seeing correctly.

teachings and testimonies from Psalm 91

Satan and bad angels are not all-powerful, but they can influence a person's thinking and emotions until we learn the enemy's schemes and the authority God has given us. Since his fall, Satan now peddles his merchandise of sin and rebellion to the unsuspecting and ignorant. He works through fear and self-will, pushing us to our "own" devices instead of the power and authority that comes from submitting to God and His Word.

Call 911 if you need the police, an ambulance, or the fire department. However, know that you can always go to Psalm 91 when you need God. This chapter is a great reminder that on the worst day of your life God will still be there.

September 7, 2025 Psalm 91

We need to have an understanding of the difference between God's protection and becoming a martyr. Is it true that God protects at times, but at other times allows believers to be martyred? It is not that simple. As a believer, situations will arise that will try to take your life prematurely, but God always promises a way of escape. Being a martyr is a choice between you and heaven, but many do not know we have a choice. Jesus said, "No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily." God's promise of protection and deliverance stands. He does not want our life and purpose on this earth stolen. But when the time comes, and our purpose on earth has been completed, we have the choice to lay it down willingly. (Our apologies for the quality. This is an older recording from before we were releasing teaching online.)

In this episode of the Compelled Podcast, Emma Mae McDaniel invites us to lean into the promises of Psalm 91 and discover what it truly means to find rest in the shelter of the Most High. Through prayerful reflection and joyful encouragement, Emma challenges us to move beyond merely visiting God's presence in moments of desperation and instead make His presence our home in the everyday rhythms of life. From the Israelites' journey in the wilderness to Jesus' invitation to come and find rest, Emma reminds us that the Lord is our refuge, our strength, and the giver of peace that surpasses understanding. Whether you are in a season of weariness, longing for clarity, or simply craving deeper intimacy with God, this episode will stir your heart to dwell daily with Him and live compelled by His love. https://www.emmamaemcdaniel.com/books Learn more about your ad choices.

There are good and bad angels, but today we are going to talk about the origin and goals of Bad Angels. Satan himself is an angel who fell from God's presence in heaven. Bad angels are spirit beings that don't have a physical body, but that doesn't make them any less real.  We must recognize the enemy's schemes because if we remain ignorant, we will fall prey to his tactics. 

A Few Minutes in The Gospel of Mark  Part 3:  Mark Chapter 1 And Psalm 91  -  English only.  When Matthew and Luke recorded the story of the 40-day temptation in the wilderness, they included quite a few details.  Mark seemed to gloss over the event.  He even omitted the reference to Psalm 91 which Satan quoted during the temptation. Or perhaps, Mark did NOT ignore Psalm 91, but presented it in a different light!   This is a rebroadcast of a podcast originally recorded September 8, 2022.

Psalm 91 and Ecclesiastes 1: With Long Life Will I Satisfy Him by Shawn Ozbun

“The Lord says, ‘I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.’” (Psalm 91:14–15 NLT) An old sea captain who was quite vocal about his atheism was washed overboard one night during a storm. His men heard him crying out to God for help. After his rescue, someone said, “I thought you didn’t believe in God.” He replied, “Well, if there isn’t a God, there ought to be for times like this.” Some people must hit rock bottom before they will cry out to God. C. S. Lewis wrote, “The atheist too has his moments of shuddering misgiving, of an all but irresistible suspicion that old tales may after all be true.” Sometimes the hardships of life are the very things that bring us to God. I remember a letter from someone who made a commitment to Christ at a Harvest Crusade. Her husband had a stroke, and she also was having problems with her mother. This woman became upset with God as all these things hit at once. Then her eight-year-old daughter heard about the Harvest Crusade and wanted to go. She wrote, “When the invitation was given, my daughter wanted to go forward, so I went with her. But little did I know that God was sending me down, too.” She went on to say, “After a few minutes, I fell on my knees, and I felt His love. I knew that He loves me and has forgiven me. You have saved my life, not only my soul.” That is a beautiful letter from someone who had hit rock bottom. Some people recognize rock bottom immediately. They can tell that their situation is far beyond their ability to do anything about it. So, they cry out in desperation. Other people refuse to surrender. Their pride won’t let them. They struggle and struggle, convinced that they can change their circumstances through sheer force of will. They want to claim credit for their own salvation, not realizing that they’re only prolonging their misery. Proverbs 29:23 says, “Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor” (NLT). And James 4:6–7 says, “And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ So humble yourselves before God” (NLT). Once they let go of their pride, they discover something infinitely more valuable: God’s presence. In Psalm 91:14–15, God says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them” (NLT). In the midst of our storms, we need to cry out to Jesus. Reflection question: What happened the last time you cried out to God in the midst of a storm in your life?

Proverbs 21:2 says. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but Jehovah weighs the heart." When we don't intentionally seek God, we end up justifying our own actions. David justified not going to war in the Old Testament, just as many times we justify not doing spiritual warfare under the New Covenant. But God wants to show us the things we don't see about ourselves. If we cry to God and have a heart that is after Him He will open us up to see our blind spots so we can repent and turn completely from them. 

Arrogance causes us not to ask God, even though it is God's nature to give. When we try to handle everything in our own ability and intellect, we close ourselves down from receiving. James 1 tells us to ask God for wisdom. God will never twist things on you, and He will give wisdom unconditionally if you ask. Our carnal mind demands to be in control, to know everything before we trust God to do anything outside of our comfort zone, but Proverbs tells us to "lean not on our own understanding." It's not our own, earthly understanding that will help us. Our wisdom has limits, but God's Spirit has none. Could it be there is no limitations with God but our ask? 

We pray lots for God's protection. How does God protect His people and what does His protection truly mean for us?

How do we partner with God to bring His Word and will into reality? Sickness came on the earth by man's choice to sin. God created everything perfect in the Garden of Eden, and He now desires our lives to be completely redeemed, but it is not automatic. Through the blood of Jesus every part of our redemption has to be accepted and fully received. God is never sending the sickness or tragedy. He is always working to redeem us from it.
