Don’t be intimidated or threatened by all the news flying up and down of people who say they shall unleash terror against some people in your nation..

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 he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Dearly beloved, preservation of believes still remains the priority of your Father in heaven. Because you belong to Him, you need not be afraid of a particular time in the year or evil tidings flowing up and down. Think of how our Lord at infant was delivered from the wicked plot of king Herod..
Mat 2:1 — Mat 2:8. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Mat 2:12 — Mat 2:15 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Mat 2:16 — Mat 2:18Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Dearly beloved, if your Father in heaven would go out of His way to secured the life of our Lord at infant during His earthly ministry. He would do more for you too. Besides your Lord had promised to be with you until the end of your life, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Matthew 28:20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Now in the same way our Lord assured Bible days believers to be there for them. So also the blessed Holy Spirit is assuring believers of all ages and you in particular of secured preservation from all evils, during ember months or whenever religious fanatics are unleashing terrors. See it.
2 Thessalonians 3:3. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
See how the scriptures affirmed this all important promise.
2 Corinthians 1:10. Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
Heb 13:5 — Heb 13:6. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
2Ti 4:17 — 2Ti 4:18. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Dearly beloved, you remain calm and avoid compromise or sinful lifestyle through which the devil can use to do you hurt. Sin will expose you to satanic attacks.
Ecc 10:8. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
You shall be secured as long as you continue in righteousness and holiness lifestyle. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Friend, glory to God, you are awakening to the reality of this end time. No doubt the signs are clearly seen by believers walking in the spirit that the rapture is dawning. However, just like the Lord is concerned about the security of His people on this side of heaven. So also He is prepared to help faithful believers to be prepared and preserve them from evils that can sway them from being ready when the trumpet shall sound.
2 Thessalonians 3:3. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
The wicked one and his cohorts will not be tired in trying to make believers engage in things , that can disqualify them. You shall not be disqualified in Jesus name. For this to happen, all you need to do is to heed the warnings from the Lord through the scriptures.
See some of them.
1. Remain on the narrow gate and avoid false prophets.
Mat 7:13 — Mat 7:16 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 24:23 — Mat 24:25 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.
2. Do not trade your eternal wellbeing with any transient things. No matter the gains..
Luk 21:34 — Luk 21:36 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
3. Separate yourself from anything and anyone, who can make you go astray.
Mar 9:43 — Mar 9:48. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
4. Don’t compromise to avoid persecutions. It is inevitable.
Revelation 2:10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
5. Live by the totality of scriptures. That is the only guarantee, for you to escape great tribulations.
Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Jn 12:46 — Jn 12:48 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
