Protection. Bønnesvar

It is our prayer that God's perfect will be done in you for protection according to His Word.

“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest 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.”
~ Isaiah 43:1-2 ~

We are believing the Almighty to send supernatural protection from His mighty hand. The Bible declares in Psalms 91:1-12,

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

God delights in showing Himself strong on behalf of His loved ones. Our Father has given us all authority and power over the devil. Luke 10:19 says, "Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm you." Zechariah 2:8b states “... for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.” We must use the Word of God to overcome the enemy. It is a spiritual battle we fight through Him while we reside in this world. As the apostle Paul said:

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
~ Ephesians 6:10-13 ~

Another thing God has given to his children and all law biding individuals in society is law enforcement agents. If you have been threatened or if a crime has been committed against you or your loved ones we strongly recommend that you seek the assistance of your local police. God has placed local law enforcement as aids to the honest, defenseless people that need protection from the lawless sector of society. We are to look to the law enforcement agencies the way Christians look to ministers of the Gospel for answers to life’s tough questions.

“So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don't want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose.”
~ Romans 13:2-4 (TLB) ~
