Good Morning!
 
Psalms 23:1  continues~~~~~~
 
I am still talking about "angelic" PROTECTION that has been made available to us when we acknowledge The Lord Jesus as our SHEPHERD.  Let me point out a very important word in the above sentence . . . it is the word "available".  Just because God has made His "covenant promises" available to us, does not mean that we are seeing those promises come to pass.  Think about it . . . When Jesus shed His blood on the cross, then salvation and eternal life in Heaven with God was made available to all people.  Did all people automatically become saved, born again, with their names written in The Lamb's book of Life?  If everyone got saved just by the fact that Jesus died on the cross, then why are we still obeying the great commission to go in to all the world and preach the Good News of the Gospel?  You will find the answer in Ephesians 2:8 . . . yes, it is by God's "grace" that we are saved, but we received that salvation through our FAITH!   Precious ones, that is the same way that we are going to receive anything and everything from God . . . by FAITH!
 
Yes!  God's PROTECTION is available to us, but we are going to have to have FAITH in the integrity of His Word concerning this PROTECTION in order for it to come to pass in our lives!  For example . . . I was planning to share with you something else that I say every day, which is:  Father, I thank you that your Holy Angels will "bear me up in their own hands if I stumble" (Psalms 91:12).  If you are always being "fearful" of falling and breaking a bone or a hip or what ever . . . then your "fear" will keep you from receiving that "angelic" protection!  Why?  Because you cannot, and I repeat, you cannot operate in "fear" and "faith" at the same time!  I know of a lot of "elderly" people who have this fear.  You may be thinking . . . Luanne, aren't you one of the "elderly" people?  No!  My birth certificate may say that I am seventy years old, but my Bible says that God is daily "renewing my youth"!  That is why I am always referring to myself as "this kid"!    Anyway, I make sure that the angels that are assigned to me "hear" what I say out of my mouth . . . i.e. the above scripture! 
 
Well, this has been "different"!   But, I pray that what has been said will help someone begin to get out of "fear" and start operating in "faith", so that they can receive the "covenant promises" of angelic PROTECTION that The Lord has made available to them!    See you tomorrow!
 
Have a Blessed Day!!          (Fear not!  Believe God!)          In His Love, Luanne
