Protected Against All Harm

The world has become a terrible dangerous place and it has it has become so small that there is nowhere to run for safety. People are treacherous, they cheat and betray each other. Men cannot even trust their own wives any more, and that is why many men are avoiding and staying away from women. You cannot trust anybody.

This is nothing new. We all know how Samson was betrayed by Delilah. So, what is the solution? What shall we and our children do to survive?

We were warned in Jeremiah 17:5-8 "Thus says the LORD,

            “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind

            And makes flesh his strength,

            And whose heart turns away from the LORD.

      6“For he will be like a bush in the desert

            And will not see when prosperity comes,

            But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,

            A land of salt without inhabitant.

      7“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD

            And whose trust is the LORD.

      8“For he will be like a tree planted by the water,

            That extends its roots by a stream

            And will not fear when the heat comes;

            But its leaves will be green,

            And it will not be anxious in a year of drought

            Nor cease to yield fruit."

Many Christian believers are familiar with this scripture, but they do not really believe it, because they are subjected to the same troubles and betrayals as the unbelievers. They do not trust in Jesus and do not find refuge in Him, because they do not follow and obey Him.

These people justify themselves and their sin, their unfaithfulness to Jesus. God is not fooled because He repays each man according to their deeds. Let us read further in Jeremiah 17:9-10.

     9“The heart is more deceitful than all else

            And is desperately sick;

            Who can understand it?

      10“I, the LORD, search the heart,

            I test the mind,

            Even to give to each man according to his ways,

            According to the results of his deeds."

Going to church, being religious, confessing Jesus, will not save and protect you. You need to show by your DEEDS that you trust and OBEY Him.  Get serious with God. Obey Jesus, repent and be baptized and LIVE in obedience to His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach , guide and protect you, if you TRUST, FOLLOW and OBEY Him.

God protects those trust Him, those who follow and obey Jesus. He keeps them from harm and keeps their feet from stumbling, but all sinners and those who disobey Jesus will perish. You can run, but you cannot hide..

There is only one safe place and that is to trust, follow and obey Jesus. Are you following Jesus or are you living in fear and anxiety because you know that you are doomed?

May Jesus bless you.

Who will protect us?

The world has become a terrible place and people are concerned about their safety. They ask:"Who will protect us?" Many purchase firearms and improve the security of their houses.

Your safety depends on whom you trust in and whom you depend on. If you depend on yourself and on other people you will be disappointed. There is only One person who can

keep us safe and that is Jesus Christ. I speak from experience.

For some time we lived on a farm in a remote area of South Africa. It is an area that is extremely unsafe where farmers get attacked and killed daily. We had no weapons, we did not try to protect ourselves but Jesus Christ protected us. One night Jesus showed me a vision of a huge horse with a rider on top of it at the entrance to the farm but this rider and horse were immensely huge. It was an angel that was keeping watch over us.

Not so long ago I had a dream one night of this person who was helping me but I did not realize that he was that tall. I looked up and I saw that he was about twenty feet tall (7 meters). This person was protecting me and he would shrink himself to the size of a normal man. I said to him:"You are actually a tall guy." He just smiled at me. The purity that I saw in his face I have never seen in a human face. That was an angel of God.

The Lord knows how to protect His own. He sends out His angels to protect and to keep those who belong to Him. Our safety depends on Whom we trust in.

I read Psalm 91

1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

            Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

      2I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,

            My God, in whom I trust!”

      3For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper

            And from the deadly pestilence.

      4He will cover you with His pinions,

            And under His wings you may seek refuge;

            His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

      5You will not be afraid of the terror by night,

            Or of the arrow that flies by day;

      6Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

            Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

      7A thousand may fall at your side

            And ten thousand at your right hand,

            But it shall not approach you.

      8You will only look on with your eyes

            And see the recompense of the wicked.

      9For you have made the LORD, my refuge,

            Even the Most High, your dwelling place.

      10No evil will befall you,

            Nor will any plague come near your tent.

      11For He will give His angels charge concerning you,

            To guard you in all your ways.

      12They will bear you up in their hands,

            That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

      13You will tread upon the lion and cobra,

            The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

      14“Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;

            I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.

      15“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;

            I will be with him in trouble;

            I will rescue him and honor him.

      16“With a long life I will satisfy him

            And let him see My salvation.”



In whom do we trust? In people or in ourselves? Or in the Lord? He gives His angels command to protect those who serve Him.

I read from Hebrews 1:13.

"13But to which of the angels has He ever said,

            “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,

            UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES

            A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET”?

14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?"

In whom do you trust? Do you trust in Jesus Christ? He is the only One who can protect you. He looks after His servants.

May Jesus bless you.

The Believer's Protection

Many believers are fearful and anxious because of what is happening in the world. They are concerned about the future, about persecution and hardship. If we follow Jesus Christ we have nothing to worry about because He goes ahead of us. The reason why these people are so worried is because they are NOT FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and they DO NOT TRUST HIM.
We read in Revelation 12:11 “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives until death.” Those are the ones who FOLLOWED Jesus Christ and who OVERCAME.
You overcome by your TESTIMONY. Your testimony is the result of your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the PROOF that you are following Jesus because you only have a testimony IF you follow Jesus Christ.
Are YOU overcoming because YOU are following Jesus Christ and He is going ahead of you? Are YOU overcoming because of the blood of the Lamb and the word of YOUR testimony?

May Jesus bless you.
