What does the Bible say about protection from evil?
When we’re giving thanks to God we should give Him thanks for the behind the scenes work He is doing in our lives. You never really know how many times God has protected you from danger, but trust and believe He has. God is working in our lives every day and even if we’re going through suffering right now God will use it for good.
He is always with you, knows your needs, and will help you. Christians can rest assure that God will always protect His children.
The devil can never harm Christians because we are protected by the blood of Christ. Neither can voodoo spells, spirits, witchcraft, etc. (Learn more about, what is voodoo here.)
God is our impenetrable shield. In all situations pray and take refuge in the Lord because He loves and cares for you.
Christian quotes about protection from evil
“The safest place in all the world is in the will of God, and the safest protection in all the world is the name of God.” Warren Wiersbe
“After a hard day scrambling to find your way around in the world, it’s assuring to come home to a place you know. God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection , where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God’s house is a place of peace. “Max Lucado
“Did you never run for shelter in a storm, and find fruit which you expected not? Did you never go to God for safeguard, driven by outward storms, and there find unexpected fruit?” John Owen
“When we stray from His presence, He longs for you to come back. He weeps that you are missing out on His love, protection and provision. He throws His arms open, runs toward you, gathers you up, and welcomes you home.” Charles Stanley
