” Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”(Psalms 23:4 KJV).

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
(Psalm 56:3 NKJV).

2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
[7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”( 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV).

Let’s Pray…
O God,Our Father, we are so thankful that You are not only good and gracious to us, but You are our fearless and bold defender. We cannot begin to shower You with enough praise for fighting our battles and restoring peace and calm to our weary souls and anxious hearts. In all honesty, it is so hard to remember this truth. Thank you for the promise of Your presence. You promise to be with us even when we are faced with sabotaging fear. Selfishly, we tend to turn to the things that provide immediate but fleeting relief from the crippling grips of fear. So, we humbly come before You and ask for Your grace and forgiveness where we have not trusted in You. Lord, it is evident that we need Your strength, especially in times of intense fear.

We ask that You would calm the waves in our fearful storms and grant us Your peace and comfort, along with the serenity of still waters only You can give. We know that as we place our trust in You, our fears will not only subside but will offer us a safe refuge to hide as You fight on our behalf. For that, we are so grateful that we serve a loving and fearless God. We love you, Lord and pray that with You on our side, we can live with courage. IN JESUS’S MIGHTY ’ NAME AMEN 🙏.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. “[Jude 1: 24-25 KJV].

Psalm 23:1 says : THE LORD is my Shepherd I shall not want.
+As our SHEPHERD the Lord Feeds us, Leads us, Guides us, Guards us Protects us, and Governs us.
+SHALL NOT WANT means He is our Jehovah Jireh (The Lord our Provider).
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power has given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness…
Romans 8:32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS.
+The LORD is our Shepherd we shall not want.

Psalm 23 :2 -He  makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.
+The Lord is our Shepherd which means we are His SHEEP and LAMBS. The Lord tends (cares for and look after) us with special attention like a Shepherd to His SHEEP and LAMBS.
+He makes me to lie down in GREEN PASTURES means we are resting, thriving and flourishing in the loving tender care and presence of the Lord.
+He LEADS me beside the STILL WATERS. The Lord gently guides us to the quiet waters similar to that which flows from the Throne of God in Revelation 22:1.
+Heavenly Waters of the Lord quenches and satisfies the thirsting of our souls.
+It is the Water that Symbolizes the Holy Spirit Who Rejuvenates, Revitalizes, Re-energizes, Refreshes and Restores our spirits, souls and bodies. Hallelujahs to Jesus!

Psalms 23:3 -He RESTORES my SOUL: He leads me in the PATHS of RIGHTEOUSNESS for his NAME’S sake.
+He RESTORES my SOUL is the Salvation or Saving of our souls.
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation…
+Also see: John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10, 1 Corinthians 2:16,
1 Corinthians 6:17, and 2 Corinthians 5:17-21…
+Through Salvation we have been Reconciled and Reconnected to God our Heavenly Father by the Redemptive Work of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Work of the Precious Holy Spirit.
+Through this we have the RESTORATION and Reconciliation of our SOULS with our Heavenly Father.
+The PATHS of RIGHTEOUSNESS are also the PATHS of Love, Truth, Holiness and Faith while living by every Word of God for His Name’s sake.
+As we walk in this New Path our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Name is Honored, Praised, Glorified and Respected in every way.
Hallelujahs to Him and Amen!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the STANDARD for your LIFE. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus Loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

” I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 NKJV).

“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”(Philippians 1:21 NKJV).

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”(Romans 12:1-2 NKJV).

+++Think about this, Christ lives in you. How? Through the Holy Spirit.

“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”  But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.  Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”( 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 NKJV ).

+++The Holy Spirit is in you so Christ can live through you. Remember you were crucified (died) with Christ when He died on the cross. Your newness of life now is all about Christ. When you think it’s in His mind (you have the mind of Christ). When you speak, it’s His Words which is in your heart. When you act it’s In His strength and the Power of His Might.

“…for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing,  that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.” (Philippians 2:13-16 NKJV).

+++Remember you have laid down (sacrificed) your life in Christ. Now the life you live is Christ living in,and through you.

” Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”( 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen! HAVE A HOLY SPIRIT filled day.

REMEMBER
Psalm 84:11 says :
…NO GOOD THING will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Then Proverb 11:23 says this :
The desire of the righteous is only good…
However, I love what 3 John 1:2 says:
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
-Abundance and Great Desires are Good and Wonderful to have, but:

• What happens when your Faith is not strong enough to obtain it?
• What happens when your Wisdom is not Enough to Manage it?
• What happens when your capacity is not enough to accommodate it?
• 
  -Here is wisdom. In 1 Kings Ch-3 God asked Solomon what “Do you want me to do for you?”
  -Solomon asked God for wisdom to be wise.
  -God answered and made Solomon the WISEST, RICHEST and most PROTECTED Man on the earth in his time.
  -In the Lord Jesus Christ you have much more than that. You have RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, PROTECTION and ETERNAL LIFE.
  -Let the Lord Jesus Christ be your Wisdom today and your a Wisdom for the rest of your life, and enjoy your Abundance and Great Desires. 
• ” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” (Jude 1:24-25 NKJV).
  
  +++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the Glory. Amen!

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. ( Isaiah 1:18-20 NKJV)

IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW BAD THINGS ARE : Jesus says, ” Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”( Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV).

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”( John 6:37 NKJV).

” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. [9] The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”( Philippians 4:6-9 NKJV).

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”( Hebrews 4:14-16 NKJV).

” If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”(1 John 1:9 NKJV).

+++In life we make mistakes, but we don’t have to be a mistake. God is Merciful, Gracious and Forgiving because God is Love.
+++With a sincere heart just repent, and ask God for forgiveness. That’s what God is saying to you today, Hebrews 8:12 says :
For I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and your iniquities will I remember no more.
+++It time to get over it and move on. Jesus has never left you or forsaken you. The Spirit of God is in you. You have the heart of God, the Mind of Christ and God is the Strength of your life, alleluia!

+++May I remind you that you can also do all things through Christ which strengthens you,as it says in, Philippians 4:13.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the Glory. Amen! and Alleluia! Hallelujah! Glory to God.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]

“O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.  You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 

If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.  If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.  If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;  Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.  For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.  I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” ( Psalms 139:1-14 NKJV).

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Beholding the evil and the good.” (Proverb 15:3 KJV).

” For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12 : 14 NKJV).

” Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.  But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” ( Matthew 12: 34-37 NKJV).

” For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. ” ( Luke 8: 17 NKJV).

“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:13 NKJV).

-There is nothing that is done in darkness that will not be brought to the light.
-There is an appointed time when the truth of all things will be revealed.
-Some of us are tormented by wrongdoings TO others and wrongdoings BY others and we do not want anyone to know, but God knows.
-Things like these are ruining people’s lives, breaking them down mentally, physically, emotionally, making them sick and some sick to the point of death.
-Where do we go from here?
-How can things get better?
-Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the life. He is the ONLY Person that can permanently resolve all of our problems. Go to Jesus with it.
– Romans 8:1 says : There is no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus. For who the Son sets free is free indeed.

” Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”(James 4:17 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” (Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV).

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

” Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.”( Isaiah 48:18 NKJV).

” My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.  Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.”( Proverbs 3:1-4 NKJV).

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”( John 14:27 NKJV).

” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV).

“But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”(Colossians 3:14-16 NKJV).

Let’s seal the word in prayer:
HEAVENLY FATHER,   LORD OUR GOD, grant that we may heed your commandments, that our peace may be like a river, and our righteousness like the waves of the sea. Be with us through your Spirit, we pray. Speak with us and tell us what we need to hear so that we can understand what draws us always nearer to you. Show the might of your hand to help us and all people. Even under judgment we shall not despair, we shall not lose courage because of troubles and distress. Come with your strength, that we may grow strong to overcome the world through Jesus Christ the Savior.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Thank you,that You are my Guide and Defender, my Rock and my Stay. Thank You, that You are the same yesterday, today and forever. As You were when You led the children of Israel through their times of difficulties and oppression. Give me a teachable spirit, listening ears, and an attentive heart so that I may learn all that Your Holy Spirit desires to teach me. And continue to guide me I pray, in the way that is best for me. IN JESUS’S MIGHTY NAME.  AMEN 🙌 👏 🙏.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

I Samuel 12:22-24 NKJV
[22] For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people. [23] Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way. [24] Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

PRAYERS should be a lifestyle ,and a necessity for believers . IF YOU ONLY PRAY WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM GOD; YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. PRAYER GOES WHERE WE CANNOT GO,DO WHAT WE CANNOT DO, AND GIVE GOD ACCESS TO INTERVENE ON OUR BEHALF.

“You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. YET YOU DO NOT HAVE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.  Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:2-4 NKJV).

WHY WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE, AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD AND YOU. HE SAYS:

” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and PRAY to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” ( Jeremiah 29: 11-13 NKJV).

“Watch and PRAY, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26: 41 NKJV).

“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to PRAY and not lose heart,..( Luke 18 :1 NKJV).

“Rejoice always, PRAY without ceasing,  in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you..”( 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 NKJV).

“PRAYING always with all PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—..” (Ephesians 6 : 18 NKJV).

” Confess your trespasses to one another, and PRAY for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent PRAYER of a righteous man avails much. ” ( James 5 :16 NKJV).

” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, with THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” ( Philippians 4 : 6-8 NKJV).

“For if I PRAY in a tongue, my spirit PRAYS, but my understanding is unfruitful.  What is the conclusion then? I will PRAY with the spirit, and I will also PRAY with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.”( 1 Corinthians 14 : 14-15 NKJV).

” casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” [ Peter 5: 7-11 NKJV ].
