When we deviate from the plain path of duty, a train of circumstances will arise that seem irresistibly to draw us farther and father from the right. . . . Angels of God will preserve His people while they walk in the path of duty; but there is no assurance of such protection for those who deliberately venture upon Satan's ground." Ev 607

"To connect with an unbeliever is to place yourself on Satan's ground. You grieve the Spirit of God and forfeit His protection." 5T 364, 365

"It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what he has declared that He would--He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same." GC 589

"The Lord is removing His restrictions from the earth, and soon there will be death and destruction, increasing crime, and cruel, evil working against the rich who have exalted themselves against the poor. Those who are without God's protection will find no safety in any place or position." 8T 50

"That time will soon come, and we shall have to keep hold of the strong arm of Jehovah. . . . Our minds must be stayed upon God, and we must not fear the fear of the wicked, that is, fear what they fear. . . . Could our eyes be opened, we should see forms of evil angels around us, trying to invent some new way to annoy and destroy us. And we should also see angels of God guarding us from their power; for God's watchful eye is ever over Israel for good, and He will protect and save His people, if they put their trust in Him." EW 60
