Kenneth Copeland — God’s Contract of Protection
In the days to come you will see a great
deal of trouble in the world around you. The
reason is, there are two groups of people on
the earth. There are the people of God and
there are the people who still live in the devil’s
kingdom of darkness.
The Word of God tells us that these two
groups, even though they may live side by side
on the earth, will experience very different
kinds of lives. We can see this in Isaiah 3:10-11
where the Lord tells Isaiah to “say ye to the
righteous, that it shall be well with him…. Woe
unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him….”
Take two groups of people living in the
same space, in the same earth, in the same
city, even in the same family, and one can live
well and the other can live in woe. One can live
in security and the other in constant peril. The
difference is that one of these two groups has
a covenant with God, and the other does not.
God is a God of covenant, and God’s covenant
is a covenant of protection.
We see this in the preservation from their
enemies that belonged to Israel, even before
Jesus came and paid the price for man’s sin. God
made a way for His people to be secure. He
said, “If you’ll serve Me, if you’ll obey Me, I’ll be
an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to
your adversaries.” And as long as Israel obeyed
God no enemy could stand before them. No
enemy could overrun them. No sickness or
disease was in their midst. No catastrophe
would come upon them if they lived with God,
obeyed Him and did what He said.
If the Israelites under the old covenant
had that much protection, think how much
protection belongs to those who are in Christ—
who are in the One anointed to defeat Satan
and restore to man the glory lost in the Fall. As
good as those covenants were, God has made
a new and better covenant with you through
Jesus Christ, His Son. God has offered all He
has—His Son, His Word, His Name, His Spirit,
His Love—to you. Actually, you and I can walk
in the comfort of the Holy Ghost every day.
Think about that. The comfort, the protection,
the counsel of the Spirit of God.
Don’t let God’s covenant sit on a shelf
and gather dust. Use it for the peace and
protection you and your family need in these
troubled times.

of the world, even as I am not of the world. I
pray not that thou shouldest take them out of

from the evil.

and prayed: “…Holy Father, protect them by the
power of your name—the name you gave me—so
that they may be one as we are one.... I have given
them your word and the world has hated them, for
they are not of the world any more than I am of
the world. My prayer is not that you take them out
of the world but that you protect them from the
evil one.”
