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.

are…. I have given them thy word; and the
world hath hated them, because they are not
of the world, even as I am not of the world. I
pray not that thou shouldest take them out of
the world, but that thou shouldest keep them
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.”

You are not the part-time focus of God’s
attention. You are His delight and the full-time
object of His affection. Israel’s King David wrote,
“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under
the shadow of thy wings” (Psalm 17:8). That’s the
heart of your heavenly Father.

His promises to Abraham and Moses show that
man’s well-being is God’s number one concern.
He sent His own Son, Jesus, to take every curse
of the Law on His own body for us, so that we
could walk in all the benefits of God’s protection,
wholeness and prosperity. From beginning to end,
He tells you in His Word how much He loves
you by demonstrating how protective He is of
His people.

God is not someone who is hard to get hold
of when you get in trouble. He is not someone
who can’t hear you call out His Name when
you have a need. In fact, He is waiting for those
who will take His promises seriously. For the
sake of His Word and His Name, He will rush
to the aid of those who call on Him. He wants
to be involved in securing our lives not only in
heaven, but also while we live down here.

So don’t ever accept the lie that you are
alone and forgotten. The Lord knows right
where you are.

Trust Him, turn to Him, give Him an
opportunity to prove His love for you in time of
trouble—He’ll shake heaven and hell to deliver
you and bring you to a place of safety.

Psalm 3:4-5

NIV—To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers
me from his holy hill. Selah. I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

He hears and answers me out of His holy hill.
Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! I lay
down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord
sustains me.

answers me from his sacred hill. I laid me
down to sleep, and this morning I waken, for
the Eternal upholds me.

KJV—I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and
he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid
me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord
sustained me.
