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"!
Well,
this has been "different"!
Have
a Blessed Day!! (Fear
not! Believe God!)
In His Love, Luanne
