Protection from Error and Terror

UV 3254/10000 Protection from Error and Terror
In righteousness you will be established. Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you.

Isaiah 54 v 14

Since we humans are not having a righteousness of our own but only an appearance of it, we are established in the righteousness of Jesus. Our integrity in Christ is to be beyond reproach, beyond question and unshakable. As we believe in the absolute righteousness of Jesus, we too will receive grace or enablement to walk or live in accordance with His teachings, precepts and example. It is on account of the righteousness of Christ working in us that we become the salt of the earth, the light of this world. Like salt, we remain humble, crystalline or clear in our character, beliefs and principles. Like salt or NaCL is the combination of two deadly or poisonous elements, the Lord will neutralize the poisons in our lives and make us salt that is fit for consumption and wholesome living, not the kind of salt that is dirty and torn in the rubbish dump. Like good salt, we endeavor to make the lives of others tasty or hopeful and worthwhile.

The Lord has freed us from the yoke of oppression of the enemy, of the tyrant of our souls. He sets us free from all fears. Nothing can touch us or harm us. The Lord will keep all terror of day or night far from us.  In short, the Lord protects us from error as well as terror, error being harm that begins from within us while terror is harm that comes from outside us. He is an internal as well as eternal and external shield. We should only cling to Him like a leech instead of allowing sin to stick to us like a leech. The Word of God acts as the salt to remove the grip of the sin-leech on our lives.
              

When we are set free from the grasp of sin, lust, pride, deceit and fears, we are God-ready or ready to live the abundant, eternal, fulfilled lives in Christ. Like Elisha, we have the double anointing, an external anointing to lead, equip, empower, enable us from outside us and an internal anointing to strengthen and guide us from within. We will not longer fear for our lives, be exhausted and demoralized like Elijah. When we live so close to God that He is closer than our own skin, both error and terror are repelled or repulsed. We are primed, poised and prepared to taste victory and command deliverance.
