God knows how to deal with enemies threatening us – but, do we?

When you trust in the Great Infinite Intelligence to protect you, examples like the following story occur to you.

Standing on the street corner and right on the edge of the curb is extremely dangerous, as I found out. I was looking to my right as traffic whizzed by in front of me as I waited for the light to change so I could cross the street. I suddenly turned my head to the left just in time to get out of the way. A city truck was barreling down in the road lane right in front of me. I quickly stood back and the protruding box behind the truck cab where they carry all their equipment, passed by without killing or seriously injuring me. The box was sticking out over the curb by about 14 inches I would guess, as the truck raced along. Always stand at least 3 feet back from curbs when waiting for the traffic to change in your favor.

1Peter 3:13 "And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?" Isaiah 54:16,17 "Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.(this is quite encouraging as it shows there's absolutely only one being in charge of it all, and the problems you have experienced have come from ignorance, ignorance of your true self and ignorance of how your ego works). No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD." Luke 21:18 "But there shall not an hair of your head perish." 1Peter 3:13 "And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?" Psalms 4:8 ...for you LORD only make me dwell in safety." Proverbs 3:21-26 "...Then shall you walk in your way safely and your foot shall not stumble. When you lie down, you shall not be afraid. Yea, you shall lie down and your sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. For the LORD shall be your confidence and shall keep your foot from being taken." Job 5:20 "In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword."

And, could we be our own worst enemy, actually being enemies of love? If so an awakening is needed, and that's why we're here.

Awakening to the higher consciousness of love provides protection for you.

We do many things of sneak and deceit that are ruining our character.

Some people, mostly adolescents (the development of the mind and body toward maturity), drive and text message on their cellphone. Very dangerous! But, hey, most who do this think, 'the message is more important than safety', or worse 'it can't happen to me'.

When the Great Infinite One says He will protect you (Psalms 91, 27, 36:11, 46, 61-73, 66:9, 91:9-16, 121:7, and 125:1,2), He is fully able to and will, just as He did in Old Testament times: Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not....." Psalms 37:1-3 "A Psalm of David. Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and verily you shall be fed.", and will protect you just as He did in Paul's time:.Acts 27:10-25; Psalms 4:3,4,8.

Isaiah 50:8 "He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is mine adversary? Let him come near to me.".-.an expression of confidence.

The Great Infinite One has His angels watching over us:.Psalms 18:36 "You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip." Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is pure. He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.".Much more on this.

The promises of protection are not an excuse to be careless and not learn anything from life. We are allowed to learn from trials of our own making and some that are brought to us through engineering of circumstances:.Psalms 31:15. 

The Infinite One watches over those who trust Him (Daniel 6:23; Proverbs 30:5), even protecting nations; 1)

A platoon of men in the Second World War: Each morning one of them would read aloud one of the verses (or a few) in these Psalms:.91, 46, 27. As a result of this, many believed that this Great Infinite One we often refer to as God, was able to protect them. All went through World War II receiving only minor scratches and bruises. Thus, the importance of belief. 

A personal story: A former police Sergeant here in Calgary, the son in law of a older fellow I knew: He related to me the story of how his son in law was fired at by a gunman having a shotgun. Everything went into slow motion and the police officer walked around behind the man and cuffed him while he stood there and could not move.

Another personal story...here.

God is able to protect!.2Samuel 22:1-4;.1Peter 1:5 "Who are kept.(original is 'guarded', 'watching and guarding to preserve one for the attainment of something').by the power of God through faith unto salvation.(word 'salvation' can also just as easily be translated 'deliverance', 'preservation', 'safety').ready to be revealed in the last time."

Notice the scripture talks of faith, and the power of God unto salvation. Your mind has a part in all this. The Infinite Consciousness we often refer to as God will never override your negative fearful thinking; He respects you too much. Your mind is totally under your control. You allow what you feel is true for you in there. If negatives are there, you can fix that.

The Infinite One shows here also, that if He decides to protect you, He will:.Deuteronomy 3:22 "You shall not fear them, for the LORD your God he fights for you." Deuteronomy 3:2-8 "And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not, for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand, and thou shalt do unto him as thou did unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon."

Sincere love and concern for others is the spiritual way to protection. When your life is involved in alleviating the suffering and heartaches others have; when you desire to be alone so that you can pray for others; when concern for self is so that you can become more able to serve others, then you have learned the meaning of love. Then you are aligned with God, for God is love energy:.1John 4:8,16. Love is an art. It involves wise actions. When you love, as clumsily as you might at the beginning. you  think as the Great Infinite One does; you are aligned with this great power of love.

But why then does God allow suffering in the first place? Grief can be so grounding. It takes one away from the enveloping 'fluff' of living and returns one to what really matters in our lives 1) 2). All sadness is an awakening (hopefully, or more things might come along to change our direction) to something greater that is needed.

Everyone you meet needs your prayer's results to turn some part of their life more towards the light. Jesus prayed for those He knew:.Luke 22:31,32 "And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not, and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.".(and just who is my brother?)

Does prayer really work?
