101. PROTECTION
--page 807--
When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee (Isa.43:2).
1. The Lord's protection is like a force field around you, & the Enemy cannot penetrate it unless the Lord allows him to do so as a spanking, chastening, or as a reaping of an unconfessed & unrepented act.
2. You must ask for the Lord's police protection & He'll give it to you! "Powerful are they which watch over thy Father David!"
3. God won't let a thing happen to you except what He has designed or allowed to happen.
4. Nothing happens to His children but by His Will or with His permission.
5. I'm sure the Lord is taking care of His children even before they ever find Him, before they're born! They're still in the womb, in a sense, & they haven't been born yet in the spirit, but they're His children just the same & He takes care of them.
6. The Devil can't attack you unless the Lord lets him, & He only lets him for some good reason.
7. Who dares harm whom God protects?
8. We are in a war! You'd better keep in tune & touch with the Holy Spirit & on God's territory all the time & close to His Word & in the right spirit & constantly in prayer & seeking the Lord & praying for His protection & His help & thanking Him constantly for His blessings & staying mighty close to the Lord, or you're going to be singed by that old fire-breathing Dragon! If you go running around outside of the tower of God's protection & the holy place of His will, that old Devil's going to be on your trail & try to give you all kinds of trouble!
9. If you get out of touch with the Lord, watch out! Because then the Devil gets in touch with you or some member of your family, & that's his privilege, if you run outside of the Lord's protection.
10. When you have the Lord & His favor, it's just like you have a shield all the way around you, like a forcefield protecting you from the Enemy!
11. There's something about the House of the Blessed, the Camp of the Saints, that God really protects, & His Angels are camped 'round about us guarding us night & day!
12. Some of you have been scorched with disease & with accident & suffering because you have run outside of the tower of God's protection & His will & His way, onto the Devil's territory where he's allowed to scorch you!
13. The Lord is bound by His Own rules & His Own laws!--If you violate the rules, He can't protect you, & He has to let the Devil spank you or punish you or scorch you or give you what you deserve.
14. The Lord gives children a certain immunity to the influence of Satan up to the age of decision.
15. One of your best protections is to keep busy for God & obedient to those who love you in the Lord, & also to fill your mind & heart with positive, encouraging, strengthening & faith-building thoughts from His Word.
16. If you're in the Lord, then you're His child, & you don't have anything to worry about. He hallows you 'round about & gives His angels charge over you.
17. Thank God for His angels who are watching over you continually, even your personal guardian angel, whose job is you!
18, You abide under the shadow of the Almighty, like the Lord's special forcefield around you, like an aura, a special kind of glory that protects you.
19. There's really no safe place in the World except in the Lord.
20. It's miraculous how the Lord takes care of us & how few troubles, accidents & sickness we have!--TTL!
21. The Enemy cannot touch you without the Lord's permission.
22. They'd better watch out if they are thinking about putting a finger on us!--They are touching the eyes of the Lord, & God will not allow them to get away with it!
23. You can't defend yourself, God has to defend you.
24. Our only weapons are God's Truth & God's Love! If they fight against these, God will fight back!
