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

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.

Bible Verse Of The Day - The Father Figure of an Apostle
Where are the fathers today like Apostle Paul? They exist but are few...
Let them arise oh LORD in this hour! Apostle Paul told the fleshly
carnal fornicating Corinthian Church that if they did not repent before
he got there that he would set them in order publicly. And where are the
children who will heed and honor the work of a true apostle father?
Those who are wise enough to be open to a loving spiritual father and mother rebuke and counsel, these are the ones who truly love the Lord.
1Co 4:18-21 KJV
(18) Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
(19) But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
(20) For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
(21) What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
2Co 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed
1Co 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Ecc 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Bible Verse Of The Day
1Pe 4:1-5 ESV
(1) Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
(2) so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.
(3) For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
(4) With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you;
(5) but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
We are not of this world and our thinking is armed with the helmet of salvation in Jesus. A true disciple of Christ will not be doing things like the world, but will cease from the sin that had them entangled before. Lay the sin and weight behind and press on in Christ! Let us not practice lawlessness but keep ourselves pure and armed with the same mind of Christ.
Heb 12:1-2 KJV
(1) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
(2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Bible Verse Of The Day
YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!
If you have ever felt like you don't have the right standings in your own flesh to fight against the devil, you are correct on that! Your own righteousness is as a filthy rag - Isa 64:6, but through the blood of Jesus we have been redeemed and vindicated, fit for The King.
Our righteousness is of the LORD! Not of our own! Sometimes the devil tries to get people to where they feel just depleted and of no use because of past failures and sins. Thank GOD for the Blood of Jesus that makes us the new creation in Him. 2Cor 5:17 We are redeemed by His Blood and washed as white as snow for His use. Fit for His Glory by the Blood of the Lamb.
The next time, if there be one, the devil comes to you and tries to keep you in a pit of despair or grief, you tell him that Greater IS HE who is in you, than he (the devil) who is in the world - 1 John 4:4. You are not of this world, but are seated with Christ in the Heavenlies! Don't go by how you feel when you stand your ground. Go by what He says about you! Your righteouesness is of Me saith the LORD in Isaiah 54:17.
Isa 54:16-17 KJV
(16) Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
(17) No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD.
And do know that it is the LORD who is your Shield and Defense. Place your trust in Him.
Psa 33:10-22 ESV
(10) The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
(11) The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.
(12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!
(13) The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the children of man;
(14) from where He sits enthroned He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
(15) He who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
(16) The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
(17) The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
(18) Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love,
(19) that He may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
(20) Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
(21) For our heart is glad in Him, because we trust in His holy name.
(22) Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in You.

(10) The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
(11) The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.
(12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!
(13) The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the children of man;
(14) from where He sits enthroned He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
(15) He who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
(16) The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
(17) The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
(18) Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love,
(19) that He may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
(20) Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
(21) For our heart is glad in Him, because we trust in His holy name.
(22) Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in You.
You are greatly loved in Jesus,

Act 4:26-31 ESV
(26) The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against His Anointed'--
(27) for truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
(28) to do whatever Your hand and Your plan had predestined to take place.
(29) And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to Your servants to continue to speak Your word with all boldness,
(30) while You stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of Your holy servant Jesus."
(31) And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
No matter what the opposition says, we His people can not remain silent. Let us pray unto the LORD to stretch out His hand here in the USA and across the nations of the world to heal with signs and wonders being performd through the name of His Holy Servant Jesus. Help us LORD to move forward with boldness and give us the strength by Your grace to run this race with endurance. To Him be all the Power, Glory and Honor forever and ever! AMEN!
