Introduction:
A hedge Is a wall of defense built around a special, precious and treasured substance, possession or property to prevent external dangerous forces from destroying, stealing or damaging it. Hedges can be physical and spiritual. A spiritual hedge is broken when one sins against God, thereby giving the serpent (Satan) the access to come in and strike.
