Staying under His wings in the midst of chaos...

1. Protect us from What?The Bible is filled with
God’s promises
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take
refuge; His truth shall be your shield
and buckler. Psalms 91:4
Calling: Wrong Right &
Right Wrong
God is willing to
Provide Protection

2. Deuteronomy 32:11-12
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its
young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings 12 So the Lord
alone led him, And there was no foreign god
with him.
Luke 13:34
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the
prophets and stones those who are sent to her!
How often I wanted to gather your children
together, as a hen gathers her brood under her
wings, but you were not willing!
An Eagle uses its wings to fly high
above the storm to take refuge from
danger
A Hen uses her wings to take the brunt of
the storm to protect her own.
God promises to carry us high on HIS
wings above any of life’s storms to take
refuge in HIM.
Jesus promises to cover us under HIS
wings to protect and give us security from
life’s storms.
Condition: We don’t worship any
foreign gods. We surrender and put away
those things that separate us from HIM.
Condition: We are willing to put our
trust in Jesus. We surrender and put our
trust in HIM alone.
A Hen uses its wings to take the brunt of
the storm to protect her own.

4. Surrender our will
Present our bodies a living sacrifice
Christ Surrendered All
 When we surrender our lives to Jesus, we
are willingly yielding our personal rights,
physical bodies, heart, mind, spirit,
emotions, thoughts, gifts and talents.
✞ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service. Romans 12:1
 It is true that nobody is perfect but one can
make a choice to live a holy life. The only
acceptable worship is to give ourselves
completely to God for this is reasonable.
✞ Saying, “Father, if you are willing,
remove this cup from me.
Nevertheless, not my will, but yours,
be done.” Matthew 26:39
 The most powerful prayer of faith is
praying as Christ did that no matter if the
answer is yes or no you put your total trust
in a sovereign God. Not my will but Yours.
❤ We serve God because we love Him
✞ And he (Jesus) said to him, “You shall
love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with
all your mind Matthew 22:37

5. God’s
Perfect
Will
God’s
protection is
Permanent
God’s
Permissive
Will
Learning to hear from
God but choosing to
follow the path of our
own will instead of God’s.
Accountability comes as
we mature in Christ.
God’s
protection is
Temporary
Subject ourselves
to
God’s Judgment
When we hear God’s
voice, understand what
HE is telling us to do and
refuse to do it.
Rebellion
God’s protection is
Non-Existent
Hearing and being
obedient to what HE
instructs us to do

6. Teaching them to observe all
that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you
always, to the end of the
age.” Matthew 28:20
The LORD repay you for what you
have done, and a full reward be
given you by the LORD, the God of
Israel, under whose wings you have
come to take refuge!” Ruth 2:13
That this is God, our
God forever and
ever. He will guide
us forever
Psalms 48:14
Under His
Wings
