Good Morning!
 
To finish up this message about Psalms 23:1,  I want to share with you how this "revelation" has affected me personally.  I don't talk about my "personal" past very much, even though a lot of people ask me to share my "testimony".  I have shared bits and pieces, but it would take me from now until Jesus comes back to share all of it and I am not sure everyone would be "interested" or even "believe" it!     Sometimes it is even hard for me to believe what Jesus has brought me through!
 
Anyway, I believe that what I am going to share with you today, will encourage some of you and maybe even make a difference in your life.~~~~~
 
I accepted Jesus as my "savior" when I was very young, but I did not have any revelation of Psalms 23:1....when they would read that verse in Church, I would just always think about what my Mother had told me when I would say that I "wanted" this or that.  She would say to me..."Luanne, the Bible says,  THOU SHALL NOT WANT!  So, I grew up thinking that it was a sin for me to "want" (or desire) to have something.  I spent most of my life feeling "guilty" about buying something that I wanted for myself, even if it was something that I "needed"!  All because, I did not know that the Bible was actually saying...THOU SHALL NOT "LACK"!  In fact, I grew up thinking that "lack" was going to always be in my life (that is called the "lack mentality").  I am talking to someone today!  If you have that "spirit" operating in your life, it is very hard to believe that Jesus is your "personal" Shepherd and that He wants to give you PROVISION, PROTECTION and DIRECTION!

Have a Blessed Weekend!      (The Lord is YOUR Shepherd!)     In His Love, Luanne
