Psa. 12:7 ... Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
When God brings a word to our mind, and we speak it, the evil doers flee from us and and no more to do with us. This is one way God preserves us from "this generation".
Pam Padgett was engaged to a man who had adult aged children. They called themselves Christian. But when one of the adult children was going to marry a divorced woman, Pam shared scripture such as Mt. 5:32 with the man she was planning to marry.
Jesus said ... 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery:and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
After she shared that, Chuck wanted no more to do with Pam.
Now Pam is so grateful she didn't marry this man.
What would have happened to Pam had she remained silent and not shared that scripture?
But she did share that Word, and because she shared she was preserved by the Word.
I've had many people leave when when I have shared scripture with them. This is one way we are preserved by God.
