Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of today's post is Deliverance from Hidden Traps and Deadly Hazards.

The Hebrew language is pictorial.

The letters form pictures and concepts.

The context gives us specific applications. The word paga is a good example.

The picture or concept of this word is of two or more entities coming together or meeting.

The concept can be applied to various scenarios, including a

meeting between two individuals, someone arriving at a location, carrying someone's burden,

striking or hitting an enemy, and more.

Anytime two or more things come together or meet, this is Pagah.

In my book's intercessory prayer and the essential guide to prayer,

I explain how all of these concepts and usages of Pagah can be pictures of intercession. And indeed, Pagas sometimes translated as such. Intercessory prayer creates

meetings between God's provision and individuals' needs,

allows us to carry one another's burdens, strikes our spiritual enemy with God's power, etc.

Interestingly, Pagat is also the word for a boundary or border, the point at which two territories meet or connect.

Pagah is used repeatedly this way in Joshua 19 to define the boundaries of the tribes of Israel.

When applying this principle to prayer, Pagha is the

establishing of boundaries or perimeters of protection. Psalm 91 describes the power of the secret

place of prayer. Versus one through four of the message date. I love this. You who sit down

in the high God's presence, spend the night in Shadai's shadow. Say this, God, you are my refuge.

I trust in you and I'm safe. That's right. He rescues you from hidden

traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you under them.
