We are walking in today: Preserved by God!
Psalm 34:6-17 6)This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7) The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8) O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9) O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 11) Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12) What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13) Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15) The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16) The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17) The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Nothing can harm us against God's will. One of the clear teachings of scripture is that if we are in Christ, nothing can harm us outside of God's design. That doesn't mean that we won't be harmed or suffer. But we do know that the Lord is our keeper and does not slumber nor sleep!! The Lord shall preserve you from all evil (Psalm 121) God is never taken by surprise and He knew the problems would arise in your life, before you were born. This is what gives us faith and confidence in our circumstances. We know that God has a plan for our lives. In fact God planned every step we take and every breath that you would take before you were formed in the womb. The devil's desire to destroy you is nothing to God. According to the Bible, in the book of Job satan needed permission from God before he can tempt or harm us. God is the authority over all creation--and all that is within creation! He shall stand and nothing in heaven or earth will withstand Him! This is why we have the promise that the gates of hell can not stand against the church. Read Psalm 43 for yourself! If the angel of the Lord encamps around us--what harm can come against you unless God permits it? It will only take one angel to over throw satan when his time comes to an end (Revelation 20). God is able to preserve those who are His own. When queen Jezebel and king Ahab commanded that everyone worship Baal or be condemned; God said, He would preserve 7,000 men who have never bowed to this idol. When David was anointed king, king Saul hunted him relentlessly to kill him and David journeyed into the enemies of Israel--yet the Bible says the Lord preserved David, where ever he went. God preserves the lives of His people. Without His permission, it is impossible for anyone to harm a child of God! Matthew 10:28-31 28) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29) Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30) But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31) Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. We do not realize just how much control God has in this life! If a sparrow can not die apart from God's will--can we be touched if it is not within God's will. The Bible says, no! You are more valuable than many sparrows you know that God preserves you as well! Does this mean you will not suffer and will not be harmed? No it does not! Look at 1 Peter 3:12-17 12) For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 13) And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14) But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16) Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17) For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. The same is true in every believers life, until you have finished the race, there is not any power in heaven or earth that can take you out of this life or God's plan. Of course we do not always know when we have finished the race. But God does! Our confidence is that God is able to preserve us! That we can complete our calling in this life, if you are following Him--your calling should be the most important thing in your life. When we are in God's will we have confidence--there is nothing to fear! Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Fiveamprayer,
see what happens when you suit up?! God comes by today to tell us that
He is preserving us! Preserve is defined as to keep safe from injury,
harm, or destruction; protect--to keep alive, intact, or free from
decay; maintain--to keep or save from decomposition;to keep up and
reserve for personal or special use; something regarded as reserved for
certain persons. Fiveamprayer we have been reserved, kept from harm,
protected, kept alive, saved--for His personal use! Hallelujah! Praise
His name! It is God that is preserving us! We may suffer somethings,
but He tells us to count it not strange. We may suffer somethings, will
Jesus suffer the cross alone? No there is a cross for each of us. It
is the Lord that orders our steps and knew the end from the very
beginning! He is preserving us, He is our anchor for our souls! Tell
Him thank You for keeping our minds while stayed focused on Him! He is
our keeper--of our minds, children, marriages, and finances! He is the only one
who can preserve us! Obedience is better than sacrifice! He will
preserve us! That is why no weapon that is formed against us shall
prosper! We are covered by the power from on high, that got up on the
3rd day! Trust God in all your ways, fiveamprayer, and acknowledge Him,
He will direct you path! He hears every prayer--He will answer! He is
preserving you! He is our keeper! God has heard our cries and He will
hasten to His word, to perform it. Sometimes we have to pursue
peace--no matter what!! No matter what you feel like, or what was
said! It is by His power that we can do all things through Christ which
strengthens us! We are preserved by God! He is our Keeper-- even late
in the midnight hour. Thank You Lord for always being there! That You
make a way of escape out for us! So no matter what we are facing or
going through, God has already made a way out of us! Thank You Lord for
preserving our minds, hearts and our bodies! We seek after Your will,
we respond, "nevertheless, Thy will be done!" God has a calling on your
life. That is where our focus should be. God will give you all that
you need, to do it. God has the winning hand. He has already prepared
for it, before we were even shaped in our mother's wombs. Praise and
rejoice anyhow! There are angels that are encamped around us--thank You
Lord for preserving us! We receive new mercies daily! You come
bringing us a word that we can hold to that is true! Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he
should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken,
and shall he not make it good? Fiveamprayer, we will trust in the
Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in out mouths!
We lift up fiveamprayer to know that God is preserving us! He is the
Source of all things, the Creator of all things! Everything is under
His authority! That is why and how He is preserving us! He told us in
2012 we will see and that this is our year of authority! Just think--to
be preserved for such a time as this!! Thank You God!! Praise Your
name! We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown have them to
fall on their face before You. God has heard your cries. Thank You for
who You are, Alpha and Omega. He has it all covered from the beginning
to the end. He has this all planned out that is why He will give us an
expected end. He knows the end of our story from the beginning!
Hallelujah! We just have to walk it out by faith! We come asking for
forgiveness, that You would cast our sins into the sea that they be
remembered no more. Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation.
Teach us Lord how to forgive others that we are also forgiven.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Thank You for preserving our minds and hearts!Welcome to the overflow...
God comes by with a timely word this morning! Bless His name! Thank You Father for this peaceful rest that we have on the line, this morning! He is preserving us! Giving us that peace that surpasses all understanding! Thank You God! He is guiding, directing and protecting us! Not by power or by might but by His Spirit! We bless Your name! Now that you have on the whole armor of God, He comes by to tell you, that He is preserving you! He is our all in all--we are preserved! Bless His name at all times, let His praises be continually in our mouths! He is Source, our everything! He is preserving us for such a time as this! We are to take back all that the devil tried to steal. We are preserved day after day. He delivers us out of it all! All that comes against us, it will not prosper! Take some time out to read Psalms 34 today! Thank You Lord for this rhema word! We can do all things, because God has preserved us! God has the winning hand, we are suited up for battle and preserved by God! Have a blessed day!
