GOD WILL PROTECT YOU

By Brother Godwin

Beloved,

Scripture: And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence (Isaiah 4:5).

But Godwin, do you mean I can escape all these hard times coming on the world? No, I did not say that. The Bible said that. I mean the unchanging Word of God said it.  Malachi 3:17-18  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Friend, God will spare you. How will he do it? I don’t know. It is not my responsibility to wonder how it is going to be done. Look at this But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) (Romans 10:6-7). We need to take our eyes off what is seen, and rather focus on the triumph in Jesus Christ. God's is ready to recreat heaven and earth to help you.

I want to talk about just two reasons why I know that God will protect you. There are many more. When you accept Jesus, there is an anointing of God on your life. The Bible says you are anointed. Look at this But ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things (1 John 2:20 WEB). How does this relate to your protection? Psalms 105:14-15 said, He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, “Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!” God does not allow anyone or anything to harm you. Jesus said “Nothing will in any way hurt you” (Luke 10:19). We are the ones that have the keys. Unless we give the enemy a place, he does not have the ability to take one (Ephesians 4:27). You can keep yourself and the wicked will not touch you (1 John 5:18). Because we are anointed, there is a "touch not" order over our lives. Hallelujah! You will escape in the name of Jesus Christ.

While praying in John 17: 23, Jesus said, And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them. The glory of God is resident in you if you have received Jesus Christ as Lord. Hallelujah! We also have a second witness of that, If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you (1 Peter 4:14). We have the glory of God in us. And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense (Isaiah 4:5). Friend, because you carry the glory of God, there is defense over you. You can count on God to use the whole resources of heaven to keep you. He is faithful.

But you need to consciously invoke this security. How? From Psalms 91 we can find a few things

1.       Dwell in the consciousness of who you are in God and the protection over your life. You do that by allowing the Word to abide in your heart.

2.       Declare consistently, no matter what the challenge is that the Lord is your refuge. Learn to command the mountains.

3.       Set your love on God. Let God be your priority. Anything that does not fit into God in your life should have no place in you. Plan every other thing around God and not the other way round.

I want you to know that God will protect you no matter what is happening. Jesus has the key of death and hell (Revelation 1:18). He cannot hold it to your disadvantage.

You shall not suffer in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

These are not easy times. Killings in Asia, riots and killings in the middles east, flood in the USA and murder on the streets in Europe. People are losing their jobs in thousands, and where hitherto was secure are laying off people. There is fear out there, in line with biblical prophesies that Men's hearts shall fail them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (Luke 21:26). Yes, the time has come, that burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up (Malachi 4:1). Friend there is no security out there in the world. But that is not the whole story for though the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee (Isaiah 60:2). This clearly defines a separation. If we know who we are and do what we are supposed to do, the Sun of righteousness arises on us with healing in his wings (Malachi 4:2). Make no mistake about it, if we do things the way of the people, outside God and fear their fear, we will have the results they have. The Sun of righteousness only shines on those that fear the name of God. These are those who God’s Word is the final word. These are those that reverently obey the Word of God. The choice is really ours to determine on which side of the divide we belong.
