Jehovah Will Protect You - How?

 WE DO NOT HAVE TO FIGHT ALONE

An experienced soldier knows that he cannot successfully fight a massive army on his own; he needs the help of his fellow soldiers.  Similarly, we cannot successfully  resist Satan and his followers on our own; we need the support of our brothers and sisters. Jehovah  has provided us with a worldwide  "association of brothers" who are there to help us. - 1 PETER 2:17. 

One way we can receive support is by attending our meetings.  (Read Hebrews 10:24, 25.)  When we feel discouraged- aswe all do at times -meetings  can lift our spirits.  We are encouaged by the heartfelt comments given by our brothes and sisters.  The Bible-based talks and demonstrations that they presents strengthen our determination to serve Jehovah.  And our upbuilding conversations before and after the meeting   encourage us.  (1 Thessalonians 5:14)  In addition, our meetings  give us the opportunity to have the joy that comes from helping others.  (Acts 20:35; Romans 1:11, 12)  Our meetings helps us in other ways too. They improve  our battle skills, so to speak, and by equipping us for the ministry.  For example, we learn to use the tools in our Teaching Toolbox effectively.  So prepare well for congregation meetings.  During the meeting, listen carefully.  After the meeting, apply the training you received. By doing such things, you will become  "a fine soldier of Christ  Jesus." - 2 Timothy 2:3. 

We also have the support of myriads of powerful angels.  Think of what just one angel can do! (Isaiah 37:36)  Now consider what a mighty army of angels would be able to accomplish.  No man or demon is equal to Jehovah's powerful fighting force. It has been said that one faithful Witness plus Jehovah equals the majority.  (Judges 6:16)  How true that is!  Keep those thoughts in mind when you feel intimidated by something a workmate, a scoolmate, or an unbelieving relative says or does.  Remember, you are not aline in this fight. You are fllowing Jehovah's direction.
