taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"
Seek guidance for outer action, but be even more concerned with the desires of the heart, that they be consistent with the character of the Lord Jesus Christ. Never did He call upon men for protection, nor even upon angels, although they were sent to minister to Him. It was His own inner unification with the Fathers heart that effected His preservation against all evil that was directed against Him. Even so your own heart purity determines the extent of your personal preservation.
In the biblical account (2 Kings 6:17) Gehazi owed his own safety to Elisha. for God was with Elisha, the man of God in the form of an angelic host that filled the mountains, and Gehazi the servant, benefited by being in his company. So shall it be for those who journey with you, as God, seeing your confidence in Him and desire to please Him and do His will, moves in your behalf.
