In this message, Pastor Dale discusses the supernatural protection provided to believers who are connected to the local church to which they have been called and, in particular, the protection God provides to us through the office and jurisdiction of the pastor. God never called for us to be alone. Our connection to the local body acts as a safety net against doctrinal error, gives us the opportunity to partner in prayer with other like-minded believers, and provides an avenue through which God is able to release impartations into our lives through the laying on of hands by our shepherds. In order for believers to walk in the fullness of God's plan, the covering of the local church is essential, not optional.
