2026: The Protection: Ep. 8.: Psalms 91: Your Shield in the Year of Shaking (2026)

In episode 8, host Connie Morris unpacks Psalm 91 as the covenant of God’s protection for 2026 (Hebrew year 5786), explaining how dwelling in the secret place, declaring God’s promises, and walking in obedience and wisdom keep believers safe during the year of shaking.

She gives practical steps—daily declaration, staying under spiritual covering, keeping your spiritual oil filled—and closes with prayer and encouragement to embrace God’s shield and the remnant calling.

WEBVTT

00:00:10.031 --> 00:00:15.591
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we pray bold prayers,

00:00:16.091 --> 00:00:19.951
walk in bold faith, and expect a bold God to show up.

00:00:20.091 --> 00:00:25.671
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we open every episode with the same unshakable

00:00:25.671 --> 00:00:29.611
confidence Jabez had in 1 Chronicles 4.10.

00:00:29.891 --> 00:00:35.611
Lord, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, let your hand be with me,

00:00:35.971 --> 00:00:39.971
keep me from evil, and keep me from causing pain. And the Bible says,

00:00:40.491 --> 00:00:41.831
God granted his request.

00:00:42.031 --> 00:00:45.571
So if you're here today, get ready, because we're praying big,

00:00:45.951 --> 00:00:51.811
believing big, and walking in everything God promised. Let's begin.

00:01:01.344 --> 00:01:04.544
Welcome back to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast.

00:01:04.704 --> 00:01:13.004
We're on episode eight, The Protection of God, Psalms 91 in the year of shaking and glory.

00:01:13.404 --> 00:01:19.804
This is from our series, 2026, the year when heaven and earth intersects.

00:01:19.864 --> 00:01:23.944
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and I'm so glad that you're joining me.

00:01:24.124 --> 00:01:29.064
In this episode, we step into one of the most comforting, stabilizing,

00:01:29.144 --> 00:01:34.504
and powerful promises God has given his people for the time of shaking.

00:01:34.784 --> 00:01:39.784
At Psalms 91, the protection of God in 2026.

00:01:40.204 --> 00:01:46.344
Because let's be honest, when heaven intersects earth, when shaking increases,

00:01:46.744 --> 00:01:54.484
when separation takes place, when God exposes and elevates, The enemy gets desperate,

00:01:54.644 --> 00:01:57.184
but God is not leaving his people exposed.

00:01:57.384 --> 00:02:02.804
He has already given us a covenant of protection and is found in the most powerful

00:02:02.804 --> 00:02:05.584
chapter in scripture, Psalms 91.

00:02:05.964 --> 00:02:12.144
So why Psalms 91 is the covering for the Hebrew year of 5, 7, 8, 6.

00:02:12.344 --> 00:02:15.144
And the prophetic meaning of 5, 7, 8, 6

00:02:15.577 --> 00:02:21.397
We see what it means, divine boundary, holy distinction, heavenly alignment.

00:02:21.917 --> 00:02:28.737
God's separating work, the rise of the remnant, and shaking of earth and its systems.

00:02:29.057 --> 00:02:36.997
But alongside of that, we also see supernatural protection for those who dwell in God.

00:02:37.397 --> 00:02:43.037
Psalm 91 says, in the secret place. 587, 586 is not only the year of shaking,

00:02:43.237 --> 00:02:48.437
it's a year where God covers his people while shaking everything else.

00:02:48.657 --> 00:02:53.537
Psalms 91 is your insurance policy, it's your shield, it's your hiding place,

00:02:53.697 --> 00:02:55.317
it's your divine sanctuary.

00:02:55.777 --> 00:03:00.977
God is not calling you to fear the shaking, he's calling you to abide.

00:03:01.257 --> 00:03:05.757
Psalms 91, the prophetic promise for 2026.

00:03:06.157 --> 00:03:07.237
Let me get a sip of water.

00:03:07.797 --> 00:03:11.997
Psalms 91.1. Let's go through it. Psalms 91.1.

00:03:12.517 --> 00:03:19.057
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

00:03:19.277 --> 00:03:23.477
The key, this is a key to 5, 7, 8, 6.

00:03:23.677 --> 00:03:28.317
You cannot survive shaking outside of the secret place.

00:03:28.577 --> 00:03:32.457
So God's giving you the kind of like the access code,

00:03:32.915 --> 00:03:38.355
to protection for 2026. We see here, Psalms 91, you have to stay in a secret

00:03:38.355 --> 00:03:40.235
place. Let's go to Psalms 91, two.

00:03:40.515 --> 00:03:43.575
I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress.

00:03:43.815 --> 00:03:49.695
He said, your words matter in 2026, your declaration becomes your defense.

00:03:49.875 --> 00:03:53.595
And so you have to say it. It's like a shield too. So you're in a secret place

00:03:53.595 --> 00:03:58.015
and you're speaking the secret code language, right? Psalms 91.3,

00:03:58.155 --> 00:04:04.335
it says, surely he should deliver you from the snare of the fowler. What does that mean?

00:04:04.575 --> 00:04:12.855
Trap set by people, trap set by the enemy, trap set by the systems, and trap set in silence.

00:04:13.095 --> 00:04:15.595
God will deliver you.

00:04:15.915 --> 00:04:20.135
So we see that we're protected again. It says the system.

00:04:20.335 --> 00:04:24.075
So we know the system. And if you ever, like I just shared with you,

00:04:24.295 --> 00:04:27.315
you thought you had the promotion and they snatched it from you,

00:04:27.495 --> 00:04:28.775
that's the system stealing.

00:04:28.955 --> 00:04:33.455
And I won't get my sevenfold return. Amen. Let's go to Psalms 91, five through six.

00:04:33.635 --> 00:04:38.795
You will not fear the terror by night, nor the pestilence that walks in darkness.

00:04:39.515 --> 00:04:45.295
5786 is a no fear year. Fear cannot follow you into new levels.

00:04:45.415 --> 00:04:47.875
You got to declare that with you. Clear that with me.

00:04:48.695 --> 00:04:54.135
5786 is a no fear year. It cannot go with you into your new level.

00:04:54.355 --> 00:05:02.395
Psalms 91 7, a thousand may fall at your side, but it will not come near you. This is distinction.

00:05:02.695 --> 00:05:07.195
Remember he said God drew a line in the sand. It will not cross that line.

00:05:07.495 --> 00:05:10.435
The theme of 5, 7, 8, 6 in one verse.

00:05:10.615 --> 00:05:16.175
This is distinction. If you're on this side of the line, if you forgot, you are protected.

00:05:16.355 --> 00:05:19.835
You can't straddle the line. You can't be lukewarm on the line.

00:05:19.975 --> 00:05:22.835
You have to make up your mind on

00:05:22.835 --> 00:05:26.115
what side of the line you're going to be with. Let's go to Psalms 91 11.

00:05:26.395 --> 00:05:29.535
He will command his angels concerning

00:05:29.535 --> 00:05:34.335
you. You will have supernatural assistance. You will not walk alone.

00:05:34.932 --> 00:05:41.712
I love this. This is why it's important for the promise of Psalms 91 in our

00:05:41.712 --> 00:05:45.312
year of 2026, the year of shaking. Let's continue.

00:05:45.712 --> 00:05:52.112
Psalms 91, 14, because he has set his love upon me, therefore what I deliver him.

00:05:52.572 --> 00:05:56.292
Wow. When you love him, God knows when it's real love.

00:05:56.452 --> 00:06:02.192
He said, I will deliver him. It's like a personal invitation for God to come

00:06:02.192 --> 00:06:04.632
to your rescue. You know, he has all the angels.

00:06:04.932 --> 00:06:09.612
He has so much help. He doesn't have to come. He can send someone. That's just as good.

00:06:09.852 --> 00:06:14.932
But he says here, I will deliver you. It's a personal rescue from the Father.

00:06:15.152 --> 00:06:17.852
It says your love for God becomes your shield.

00:06:18.152 --> 00:06:21.692
So remember, when you love him, he protects you. When you dwell in that secret

00:06:21.692 --> 00:06:26.172
place, when you follow Psalms 91 and do what the word says, you are going to

00:06:26.172 --> 00:06:32.952
be protected in 2026. Psalm 91, 16 tells us that with long life will I satisfy him.

00:06:33.192 --> 00:06:36.852
You will live to see God's promises unfold.

00:06:37.112 --> 00:06:40.672
He said, I will satisfy you with long life.

00:06:41.099 --> 00:06:45.199
If you're watching the news, we're seeing people are dying left and right,

00:06:45.239 --> 00:06:47.179
and they're not even living a long life.

00:06:47.339 --> 00:06:50.159
We're not breaking any records on old age lately, have we?

00:06:50.419 --> 00:06:55.239
You know, so God says, long life, I will satisfy you. What is God protecting

00:06:55.239 --> 00:06:57.719
you from in 2026? That's a good question.

00:06:57.999 --> 00:07:03.399
Like with all this time, 91, I'm feeling so protected. But what am I being protected from?

00:07:03.679 --> 00:07:07.959
Protected from fear, confusion, deception, hate, emotional, being overwhelmed

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:16.179
emotionally. The wrong voices, the wrong people in danger, demonic agitation, harm in transition.

00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:21.019
Come on out. You're going to get to the other side. We're not without any harm,

00:07:21.159 --> 00:07:24.639
hurt, or danger coming now you. Spiritual exhaustion. Hello.

00:07:25.099 --> 00:07:27.539
Assignment sent to distract or destroy.

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:33.259
Psalm 91 is heaven's guarantee. I will not only shake, I will shield.

00:07:33.619 --> 00:07:36.619
Isn't it good to be on the right team? Because if you're on the wrong team,

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.199
you're shaking, you ain't got no shield.

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:44.739
Come on now. So how do you live under God's protection in 5786 in the year 2026?

00:07:45.219 --> 00:07:50.059
Number one, you dwelled in a secret place. Your safety is connected to your intimacy.

00:07:50.419 --> 00:07:54.419
Stay aligned with God's voice. Protection requires obedience.

00:07:54.679 --> 00:07:57.639
How can he protect you if you're going to decide to go the opposite way?

00:07:57.779 --> 00:07:59.019
He said, we're going to go right.

00:07:59.299 --> 00:08:03.379
Move when he moves, right? Move when he moves. If you're moving to the right

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:06.499
and he's moving to the left, you're not protected. So pay attention.

00:08:06.979 --> 00:08:10.979
Number three, keep your spiritual oil filled. That seemed to be the running theme.

00:08:11.299 --> 00:08:14.899
Don't be running on empty. Emptiness is dangerous in the year of shaking.

00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:19.479
What does that look like to be filled? Pray, pray, pray, read your Bible.

00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:21.179
You're filling your oil. Do you ever ride?

00:08:21.419 --> 00:08:24.059
How often do you fill your gas tank? Remember that.

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:27.219
You got to fill up your Holy Spirit tank. Let's go.

00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:33.099
Four, walk in wisdom. Permanent protects you. Five, cut off access to the enemy.

00:08:33.099 --> 00:08:38.719
786 is a year to not to entertain old strongholds.

00:08:39.280 --> 00:08:43.260
Come on now. That's how he keeps us trapped. You think we got to go back to

00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:45.140
the old stronghold, that old cycle.

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:50.200
You know what happens? That delay, that delay, the foolish virgins delay.

00:08:50.460 --> 00:08:54.240
They weren't ready. They weren't ready and they got left. Don't let that be you.

00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.700
Number six, stay under spiritual covering. Isolation makes you vulnerable. So don't isolate.

00:09:01.060 --> 00:09:06.720
Be around those believers that are like-minded declare Psalms 91 daily.

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.700
You have to activate your mantle with your mouth. The remnant carries a different protection.

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:17.340
In 2026, the remnant will come on out.

00:09:17.540 --> 00:09:23.620
Once you know how to pray Psalms 91 and you get an understanding of what it

00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:27.980
means, not that you just saying it, that you actually obeying it because there's

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:29.340
some obedience in there, right?

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:35.340
And so you have to stay in that protection and that shield of obeying the voice

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:38.840
of God, staying close to him, hungering after him.

00:09:39.020 --> 00:09:41.220
And what will happen in that protection?

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:46.200
You will walk through danger untouched, staying in storms unshaken,

00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:51.920
walk in clarity when others are walking in confusion, carrying peace when others

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:55.260
carry panic, experience angelic protection.

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:59.420
See divine reversals, and witness miracles.

00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:03.720
Why? Because the remnant is hidden in God.

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:09.900
So this is your divine protection mandate. You are not entering 2026 vulnerable.

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:15.220
You are entering covered. You are not entering 2026 alone.

00:10:15.420 --> 00:10:20.460
Angels go before you. You are not entering 2026 afraid.

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:26.340
God has already spoken about your protection. Psalms 91 is not poetry,

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.740
it's covenant language.

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:33.600
So let's declare this authority in this prophetic decree. Repeat after me.

00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:39.780
I dwell in a secret place of the Most High. I am covered by the shadow of the Almighty.

00:10:40.397 --> 00:10:44.537
No evil should come near me. No plague should come near my dwelling.

00:10:44.997 --> 00:10:49.417
Let's pray. Father, thank you for the covenant of Psalm 91.

00:10:49.777 --> 00:10:53.657
Thank you for covering your people during the shaking, the separation,

00:10:53.677 --> 00:10:56.677
and the awakening of 5786.

00:10:57.517 --> 00:11:02.557
Hide every listener under your wings. Encamp angels around their homes.

00:11:02.797 --> 00:11:06.177
Protect their minds, their hearts, their steps, and their destiny.

00:11:06.437 --> 00:11:11.117
Let no weapon prosper against them. Let no traps secede against them.

00:11:11.337 --> 00:11:13.337
Let no fear dominate them.

00:11:13.657 --> 00:11:20.277
We walk into 2026 with confidence because you cover us. In Jesus' name, amen.

00:11:32.295 --> 00:11:36.755
Family, thank you for spending this time with me today. To every woman listening

00:11:36.755 --> 00:11:42.535
who has ever felt hidden, overlooked, or pushed aside, I want you to hear me clearly.

00:11:42.855 --> 00:11:45.715
God has not forgotten you, and neither have I.

00:11:45.875 --> 00:11:51.175
That's why I moved everything to our new home on pod page, so you would have

00:11:51.175 --> 00:11:54.755
one place to connect with me, read the devotionals, listen to the podcast,

00:11:55.055 --> 00:11:56.975
and reach out whenever you need to.

00:11:57.135 --> 00:12:01.975

00:12:01.975 --> 00:12:05.655

you'll find a Buy Me, a coffee link on the site as well.

00:12:13.975 --> 00:12:18.075
No pressure, just love and community. Before we leave, I want to speak the word

00:12:18.075 --> 00:12:21.095
that I close with every time because somebody needs this reminder today.

00:12:21.255 --> 00:12:24.035
It comes from Jeremiah 29, 11, 14.

00:12:24.315 --> 00:12:28.815
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and

00:12:28.815 --> 00:12:32.975
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call upon

00:12:32.975 --> 00:12:36.155
me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.

00:12:36.295 --> 00:12:39.995
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

00:12:40.155 --> 00:12:43.635
I will be found by you, declares the Lord.

00:12:44.015 --> 00:12:48.535
Beloved, God has a plan for your life, a real one, a good one,

00:12:48.535 --> 00:12:54.515
and as long as you keep seeking him, you will find him even from the hidden places. I love you.

00:12:54.615 --> 00:12:57.055
I'm praying for you and I'll meet you next time.
