THE PLACE OF SAFETY – PART TWENTY
Greetings dear and precious saints of the only Living God and welcome back to this Saturday Bible Study series focused on “The Place of Safety”. Please take a moment now to share this teaching as widely as possible. God is so good dear ones and that needs to be better known. Fear is ubiquitous dear ones and that should not be the case at all. We are children of the Most-High God and there is nothing bad in our God, our Heavenly Father. Everything ugly in the earth has its origins in our individual decisions. Those decisions that are contrary to the Word of God open the door to the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy, and the destroyer (demons) are more than happy to accommodate. On the other hand, if we will think, speak, and do according to the Word of God there is nothing but abundance and safety.
Before moving into our Bible Study, I want to remind us all that Election Day is November 3rd, just a few weeks away. Please be registered to vote and prepared to vote, and vote according to the Holy Word of God. Take the time to find the Republican and Democrat Platforms and review them. If you still have a question as to how to vote you are either in deep deception or just plain ornery and crossways the Word of God. Please do not vote for the death of the unborn, the promotion of sexual perversion, and the destruction of justice in the land.
2 John 1:10-11 (KJV)
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Voting for a wicked agenda (Democrat Platform) makes one guilty of those evil deeds. How would one explain that on the day of judgment? Now, let’s move into our primary Bible text.
Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Our Chief Shepherd is Christ Jesus and His will is our heartbeat. He came to the Cross and secured not only eternal life but an abundant life off the charts for His brothers and sisters, the children of God. Shun, absolutely do not allow poverty thinking, poverty talk, or listen to poverty teachings/preaching. It is an abomination! If any one of us are in want we are following the wrong shepherd. Now, don’t go all religious on me with talk like, “well we have all we need”. Jesus didn’t die for us to have all we need but to have an abundant life. Only in our abundance can we further the Kingdom of God in any kind of meaningful way. Oh, oh, is there hair on fire and riled up religious spirits? If so, put the fire out and cast out the religious spirits, poverty spirit, in Jesus name. The devil wants us in poverty. As discussed last week poverty is by our choice, and the will of the Devil. Overflowing abundance is also our choice, and the will of God.
Now, let’s move into verse two of the 23rd Psalm.
Psalm 23:2 (KJV)
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
As we find throughout Scripture physical or natural examples are used to illustrate spiritual Truths. Jesus did this very commonly. These sheep in our text are not stressed out and worried about their next meal. They are in a place of abundant high-quality feed and clean easy to get water. When we are with Jesus (thinking, talking, and doing the Word), the good Shepherd, we have an easy yoke and light burden.
Matthew 11:30 (KJV)
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
If our yoke is not easy and our burden is not light, we are with the wrong shepherd. Green pastures (from our text) are a place of abundance and the still waters are the Word of God. The Word of God and abundance go together but the Word of God and poverty are diametrically opposed.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next Saturday.
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
