Psalm 91 starts with the condition of us dwelling in the secret place
(prayer & fellowship) with the Most High YAH and the promises follow
thereafter. Keep your love set on Him!
Psa 91:1-16 KJV
(1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
(2) I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
(3) Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
(4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
(5) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
(6) Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
(7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
(8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
(9) Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
(10) There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
(11) For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
(12) They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
(13) Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
(14) Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.
(15) He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
(16) With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him My salvation.

Not Too Much and Not Too Little
This
should be our hearts desire that the LORD would bless us with what He
desires for us financially. Not too much and not too little. But just
the amount we need to fulfill His purpose in our lives.
Pro 30:7-9 ESV
(7) Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die:
(8) Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me,
(9) lest I be full and deny you and say, "Who is the LORD?" or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.
Paul instructed Timothy what godliness was all about:
1Ti 6:6-12 ESV
(6) Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment,
(7) for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
(8) But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
(9) But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
(10) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
(11) But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
(12) Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

The Richness Of His Mercies
Psa 141:1-4 KJV
(1) A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
(2) Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
(3) Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
(4) Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Such a beautiful Psalm showing David's heart. Have you ever thought about what the "Mercies" of David are when God said that we could have them?
Isa 55:3 KJV
(3) Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Ohhhhhh the richness of His mercies toward His people who humble themselves in His sight!
Jas 4:6-10 KJV
(6) But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
(7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and He will flee from you.
(8) Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
(9) Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
(10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.

Judgment Will Begin At The House Of God
Homosexuality is an abomination in the sight of YAHWEH and judgment will come to those who do not repent of this sin and it will begin at the house of God first. The self proclaimed "rev" Jesse Jackson announced his support of Obama in the homosexual area this weekend and it is disgusting. I personally have never believed Jackson to be anything of a true Christian. Do the research and you will find the wicked lifestyle he supports beyond homosexuality. Why am I stating this as a Bible verse of the day? Because if I do not say something about this then I would have sinned because this needs to be exposed for what it is.
1Pe 4:17 KJV
(17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Rom 1:21-32 KJV
(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
(29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
(30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
(32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Repent Of Your Sins Says The Lord Jesus
Recently
someone had opposed our post on facebook about repentance saying that
it is not to be preached anymore because God was not angry at the
wicked. Their reasoning was that Jesus said to love your enemies.
Imagine that! Since then I have been more fired up to preach about
repentance than I ever have. The Bible clearly states that in the last
days they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears to hear what they desire. Oh my. Yep, we are in those days.
So
to those Churches who do not believe repentance should be preached how
do you explain away what Jesus preached in the following verses? You
simply can't! Repentance is commissioned by Jesus Christ to preach to
all nations beginning at Jerusalem:
Luk 24:45-49 KJV
(45) Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
(46) And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
(47) And that REPENTANCE and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(48) And ye are witnesses of these things.
(49) And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Luk 24:45-49 KJV

(46) And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

(48) And ye are witnesses of these things.

Daily Encouraging Word
Isa 57:15 KJV
(15) For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Revival begins with a repentant heart. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. When a person has reached that place of a contrite heart it is the place that God can step in to begin forming and shaping the heart to be what He wants it to be.
