Over all my years in the path of the Gods, I have observed and I have venerated above all the protective powers of the Gods. From all things, I have seen in testament and directly, how powerful the Gods are in their protection. Members escaping catastrophes, fires, and all sorts of other things; or if even the negativity has hit, it has not hit home on the most destructive area or the person itself.
There are cases where we can make grave errors which make this intervention very difficult sometimes, and yet, the Gods can be there to help us. But in respect to the above, it's always sensible to stay on the healthy and proper route of life and not test their protective powers, let alone test them negatively. Yet, here they always are with loving hands to help us when we humans do what we know to do best: errors and mistakes.
It's imperative to understand that the protection of the Gods extends into many areas in life. Negative events might occur. But the fact that one prays to them, gets power, or is emotionally unscathed from these events, is the testament to the protection itself. I have witnessed about a hundred times the negative events through my life or that of others, beheld in front of me, and watched what great difference it makes to have the Gods in one's life and to not have them. In life, endless situations where chances of being saved were so marginal, it would be an impossibility for certain things to have happened, I saw that too. Repetitively.
I watched lives collapse and people collapse in front of my eyes with the slightest things (especially outsiders), and cases of others who were beaten down by life, yet Zevists having these things and more happening and through the Gods, still finding the strength to rebuild and get up on their feet. Rebuilding better, on the trajectory for future victories, with renewed hope.
This power is again a protective power of the Gods. The world is not the most peaceful place and life can get gruesome and cruel; yet in the beauty of life, there is also another type of beauty which is the help of the Gods. The closer we are to negative circumstances, we are blessed to have experiences as Zevists that show this help as apparent.
Remember to make it easier for the Gods to protect you. The first layer for this is listening. When the Gods give you signals that you are on a dangerous path, that you can change, such as health for example, heed their advice. Or in other avenues of life. The Gods will raise signs for you to see, so you avert disasters. Yet, what surprises me that despite of human errors or falsehood, the Gods never give up on us, no matter how grim situations look.
The life of us humans can be on the jaws of destruction or the laws of the universe might be hard on our necks, but the Gods from their domain help us however they can. The more we allow the help to come in, all the better.
So many people live their lives without any protection. Unprotected, with nobody to look out for them. The Zevist knows there is "someone" out there for them, but for many people out there? Nobody really. They have in many cases earned this by not engaging in the path and the Gods. Or building proper relations; which are also a part of this in material life. As they don't look out for others, others don't look out for them. This cycle is very dangerous for any being.
There are cases in life where all support and protection vectors can fail, and we humans try to build safe societies, but the enemy upsets them and creates dangers all the time. Protection is integral to the survival and growth for all beings. We jeopardize this daily and take this lightly, and of course, many deny the spiritual aspects of this as well. The results are very bad. Everyday I read terrible things in the news and I see chaos, but this chaos reminds me only of the protection of the Gods and how important it is.
Because we are so unaware of life, we oftentimes take it for granted and say "this is how life is". No, in society one must not walk the streets and worry for impeding attacks all day. That is not a normal state of being, and shows we have fallen into a level of an unworthy society. This makes only even more important the spiritual protection I explain here. Human beings should not be exposed to these things all the time. The enemy normalizes this only for destructive reasons. We banish their influence and we must continue doing so.
Everyday I wake up and go to bed thanking them for protecting each of us. There are no words to describe what this bond means to someone when they comprehend how life is "in general" and how life is for the Zevist. The difference is so drastic, one can understand only after a very long time of being in the True Path. The Gods are your support when all cards have been dealt wrongly by life, and even if one cannot win a set hand of fate, they know how to lift you or take you outside of the table, give you a fresh start and help you reset your ways. When the cards are dealt good, they make sure you deal with the win properly.
Nobody and no being can be as powerful as the Gods in these matters, so we have every right to worship and venerate them. I am thankful, and will forever be thankful to them, for all the things, seen and unseen they do for each of us and in the lives of all.
