In this life, we will always be tainted by sin and evil until we get to Heaven. Until God creates the New Heavens and New Earth, this world will be filled with evil. And God is the only sure deliverer from all evils of this world.
Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Jeremiah 15:21. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
Obadiah 1:17. But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
This same promise was made by God to the Jews in the days of Joel, the prophet, that He would deliver them from their strong enemies, if they would return to Him, in implicit obedience. See it.
Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
Beloved see how God affirmed this promise in the lives of saints of old. See some of them and be sure that, He will, without fail do same for you anytime and everywhere this year and beyond in Jesus name.
1. Israel delivered from the hands of Pharaoh and his armies at the Red Sea:
Exodus 14:26-31. And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.
2. Joseph, during his travails with his envious brothers delivered to truncate his dream:
Acts 7:9-10. And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
3. The three Hebrews delivered from the furnace of fire:
Daniel 3:24-28. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
4. Daniel delivered from Lions in their den:
Daniel 6:18-23. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
See His unfailing promise, trust Him wholeheartedly and be rest assured that, He will deliver you from all challenges presently confronting you. It is done in Jesus name.
Psalms 34:19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Dearly beloved, Jesus our Lord was not just the Saviour and Redeemer of the whole world. But, much more than that, He has been and shall continually be the timely deliverer of believers of all ages, especially you, from satanic life threaten challenges on this side of heaven and even at eternity.
HE IS THE RENOWNED UNDENIABLE DELIVERER. See what the Bible says about Him.
Hebrews 2:14-15. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Jesus disappointed Satan who thought, he could kill Peter and stopped the commission Jesus gave him. But then Jesus delivered him, timely before this dastardly acts could be done. See it.
Acts 12:5-11. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
He did same for Paul severally. So don’t be afraid this present challenges confronting you shall not overwhelm you, but turn to testimonies in Jesus name.
2 Timothy 3:10-11. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
See unfailing promises to believers of all ages and you too, that , our Lord Jesus Christ shall deliver His people always, no ,matter how traumatic or severe the challenges are.
Romans 8:20-21. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
1 Corinthians 15:24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

JESUS DELIVERS BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES AND YOU IN PARTICULAR FROM ALL EVILS HERE AND HEREAFTER. TRUST HIM.
Friend, the reasons why believers in the time past and now have made it to glory with Jesus, was His timely deliverance He gave them. The reasons why faithful believers all over the world and you too shall partake in the dawning rapture shall be, because of the uncommon deliverance Jesus shall give you.
In the same token the reasons why the Worldling and nominal churchgoers have gone to hell and shall be denied partaking in the rapture, but suffered indescribable pains during the great tribulation is simply because of their failure to secure deliverance from Christ.
IT THEN BEHOVES YOU TO ENDEAVOUR TO REMAIN A BONAFIDE BIBLICAL BELIEVER TO ENJOY THIS UNCOMMON AND TIMELY DELIVERANCE.
The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name. See the Worldling and the nominal churchgoers actually sought for deliverance, but they never got it, because of their wilful disobedience to Christ. He is no respecter of persons.
Romans 2:6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Proverbs 1:24-31. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Zechariah 7:13-14. Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear;
so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts: But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
See what happens to them during the great tribulation, because of their failure to secure deliverance. This shall never ever be your portion in Jesus name.
Revelation 6:15-17. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
But then, the reverse is the case with beliebers of all ages and you in particular. This is because, the dawning rapture delivers the believers from partaking in the great tribulation
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10. For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

2 Timothy 4:17-18. 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.
2 Peter 2:5-9. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
See you at the top in Jesus name.
