1. When I was in England, during one of my conferences, a woman told me she was once
awakened by a very strange noise of pecking, or something of the kind. When she got up, she saw a
butterfly flying back & forth inside the window pane in a great fright, & outside a sparrow pecking &
trying to get in. The butterfly did not see the glass, and expected every minute to be caught, & the sparrow
did not see the glass, expected every minute to get the butterfly. Yet all the while that butterfly was as safe
as if it had been millions of miles away, because of the glass between it and the sparrow. So it is with a
Christian. Satan cannot touch the soul that has the Lord Jesus Christ between itself him.

2. If the Father has the Kingdom ready for us, He will take care of us on the way.

3. Everyone who is a man of God has omnipotence as his guardian, & God will sooner empty
Heaven of Angels than leave a Saint without defense.

4. Should all the hosts of death,

powers of Hell unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage & malice on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Superior power & guardian grace.
--Isaac Watts

5. Nothing was too little for God to create. Nothing is too little for God to preserve.

6. Millions of spiritual creatures walk the Earth unseen, both when we sleep & when we awake.--
John Milton

7. He is able to keep you through anything, protect you everywhere, & I'm certain that He wants to
spare you to minister to others, to help & encourage & inspire faith & glorify Him.

8. The only hiding place, the only safe place to be, is in the Lord.

9. The Lord is your best defense--so stay close to Him!

 10. The Lord's able to keep you, no matter where you are! And if He decides He'd rather TAKE
you than take CARE of you, then you've got it made one way or the other!

11. Don't worry about the Crash or the Tribulation or the war or anything! You're God's pets & He
is going to take care of you until your job is done, till the very End, & then He'll still take care of you &
take you to Heaven! What better place to go? PTL? So why worry? We've got the best Boss in the World,
the best job, the best income, the best protection, we've got the best of everything! We ARE the best of
everything, that's why the Lord gives us the best of everything, & He'll take care of us right to the End, so
don't worry!

12. Lord, you're not going to fail no matter what times of trouble are ahead! You're going to take
care of us, protect us, provide for us, feed us, empower us & make us a mighty witness, Lord, no matter
what! When sin shall abound, grace will much more abound! (Rom.5:20) And when iniquity abounds, Thy
mighty power will much more abound! When the Devil casts out a flood to try to drown us with his
iniquity & his devices, You're going to let the World swallow his lies & protect us & keep us! You're going
to save us, Lord, & not allow us to be inundated or overcome by the flood! (Rev.12:16) TYJ! When we
walk through the waters they'll not overflow us, when we have to go through the fire it will not burn us,
when we pass through these trials & tribulations they'll not overcome us! (Isa.43:2) You'll do mighty signs,
wonders & miracles to keep us going & keep us preaching Thy Word & showing Thy Love to millions to
the very End! Hallelujah!

13. We know You'll take care of our souls, our spirits & bodies, Lord, right on till it's time for us to
go! Help no one to be fearful, help no one to fret, help no one to worry about it, Lord, but just to rest in
Thee. "Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee."
(Isa.26:3)

14. If we have done everything possible, Lord, we know that You'll do the impossible! You're an
expert at that. For with Thee nothing shall be impossible & all things are possible to those that believe.
(Luk.1:37; Mk.9:23.) So help us, Lord, to believe & do all we can & trust You for the impossible, to do
what we cannot, to protect our Homes & our mates & most of all our precious children, in Jesus' name.
Amen!

15. We weren't put here just to have Heavenly Homes & Heavenly fellowship & Heavenly
freedom, that's just a part of the blessings of God to make our main job possible. He's given us all these as
rewards & blessings for obeying Him & doing what He told us to do--to preach the Gospel & win disciples.
As long as we keep obeying, the Lord will keep supplying & blessing & protecting & making it possible!
Where God guides, He provides!

16. We know that no matter what happens, it's all in Your hands, all things will work together for
good for us because we love thee & because we are Thy children, Lord, & we know that you are going to
take care of Your Own & that it is all going to work out for the best in the end somehow. But Lord, help us
to always be wise, to count the cost, to be watchful & prayerful, & not be caught napping or sleeping.
You've said time & again, "Watch & pray" that these things don't come upon us unawares without notice &
without preparation.

17. Help us, Lord, to be prepared, whatever happens, most of all spiritually & work-wise in Thy
Will! We know that if we are close to Thee in Spirit & in Thy Will that You are bound to provide & protect
& to take care of us somehow. Help us also to use our heads & Thy wisdom & guidance we already have in
thinking of various ways in which we can protect ourselves & prepare ourselves for any eventuality, no
matter what, that we will have various avenues of recourse in mind, various means of escape, various
means of survival prepared that we may hope to come through & continue as long as possible.

18. Thank You Lord that we're in the palm of Your hand & no man can remove us. We're safe
under the shelter of Your wings, hiding in You as a strong Tower, Lord. We don't have to worry what Man
can do to us because You are in control & You are taking care of us as You always have & always will.
Thank You for Your provision of our every need, Your protection in every danger & Your help in every job.
Each year has been greater than the last one, & we thank You, Jesus!

19. Lord, You are going to take care of everything! Forgive us for our doubts, forgive us for our
fears, forgive us for our worries about the future or problems or people or enemies or any kind of
concerns--for support, protection or provision--knowing that You love us, Lord, & You, our Heavenly
Father, will take care of it all & You'll never let anything happen to us more than we are able to bear, not
even death! (1Cor.10:13) But You'll give us the grace to bear it with joy & thanksgiving!

20. The Lord & prayer are your best protection & your greatest security!

21. I've got a God Who is all-powerful & He rules over everything! He won't let the Enemy, not
one of his little devils or imps or Satan himself, lay a finger on a hair of your head, unless you need it or
deserve it or somehow it's warranted.

22. I have an all-powerful God Who can do anything & prevent anything & will not let the Devil
get any power over us! As long as we are obeying God, trusting Him & resting in His Word, I don't believe
God's going to let much happen to us except maybe as a little test to just see how much faith we've got,
how determined we are, how much patience we have, & how convinced we are that we're right to go ahead
& do what we're doing.

23. The Devil cannot touch us without God's permission, & then it's gotta be for a mighty good
reason. I'm convinced that most of the time it's our own fault, but sometimes it's to test our sincerity, our
faith, our faithfulness, our patience, our determination, & to purify & purge us & make us white & see if
we really mean business!

24. The Lord is our Salvation & our Strength in every fight.
Our Redeemer & Protector, our Eternal Godly Might.
He has promised to sustain us, He's our Refuge from all harm,
And underneath this Refuge are His everlasting arms.
