The other day I was reading Joshua, where he sent in 2 spies to search out the city of Jericho. They came to Rahabs home, who was the prostitute of that city. Being hid by her, they granted to her and her family the privilege of safety when they came to take the city. They told her to hang a red thread or rope out of her window so when they came, the men would see the thread and know that her home was not to be touched and all inside would be spared. They did give a warning that no one in her home should go into the street, for if they did their safety would be on their own head.

Our nation is going through the worse time in our history. At some point Christians may have to hide from our government. In Psalm 27, we are promised, that in the time of trouble we will be hid in His pavillion. I looked up the word pavillion in my concordance and it is a word that means, entwined boughs, or lair. I keep telling people we may need to run into the woods and hide at some point. Many just laugh but the woods are a place of refuge and a beautiful creation of Almighty God. We must not leave the divine protection of Almighty God. We must draw so close to Him that we feel His very breathe upon our necks. Think I am kidding, think again. It was His breathe that gave us life.

If only I had the power to dangle people over hell itself and bring them back, I know I would see conversions right and left. People would clammer to get to church and fall to their knees. But alas I don't have that power. It is by faith in Christ and not thru intimidation. LOL! As fun as that would be. LOL!

So in conclusion, as the scripture states. Do not go into the street and leave the divine protection of Almighty God!
