Is The News Getting You Down?

I have seen what I have to do when any news may come my way, and facebook, newspapers, news broadcasts are FULL of it ALL, is that I will speak to that news. Not to my house it won't come in the Name of Jesus, be it disease, famine, fear, terror, injustice, corruption....NOT TO MY HOUSE.
This house has no fornication, this house has no drugs, this house has no deceit or a lifestyle inhabited by sin, this house has no FEAR or anything else that is an address for the devil to come to, and in the Name of Jesus he will not be allowed. This house is sanctified, covered by the BLOOD OF JESUS, not just inhabited by angels but they are sent to work all the time. I CHOOSE to live and move and have my being in God, IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH, IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY where DIVINE PROTECTION is for all of us, in Jesus' Name.

The Secret Place of The Most High - A Loving Place

Be still and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations,

will be exalted in the earth!

Psalm 46:10

All through the Word of God we read of political unrest, the fear of what enemies would do, war, devastation all around.  There's a place in II Samuel 22 where King David is mentioned.  "Then David spoke to the LORD the words of this song, on the day when the LORD had delivered him from the hand of ALL his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.  And he said:  "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.

Wow, what a breath of fresh air.  The man had been THROUGH it, and he could still say this.  

The following, Psalm 91, the whole chapter has to do with God's PROTECTION of His own.  The only thing is, the first verse is the prerequisite for the benefits that follow  The only, ONLY thing that will bring us protection, is if we are IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH and UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY.  If we do not get in there and stay there, our goose is cooked.  We are then looking at and dealing with FEAR, and just like FAITH brings us God's Word into existence FOR US.  FEAR will attract/bring the work of hell to us all, it's a spiritual principle.  None of us can afford fear. 

Psalm 91 NLT

1. Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God and I trust Him.

3.  For He will rescue me from every trap and protect me from deadly disease

4. He will cover me with His feathers. He will shelter me with His wings.  His faithful promises are my armor and protection.

5. I will not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. (the one you were not expecting.)

6. I will not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

7. Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, these evils will not touch me

8  Only with my eyes will I see the reward of the wicked.

9.  If I make the Lord my refuge, if I make the Most High my shelter, 

10. No evil will conquer me; no plague will come near my home.

11 For He will order His angels to protect me wherever I go.

12. They will hold me up with their hands so I won't even hurt my foot on a stone.

13. I will trample on lions and cobras; I will crush fierce lions and serpents under my feet. (the devil)

14. The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trusted My name

15. When they call on Me I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.

16. I will reward them with a long life and give them My salvation."

While going over my newsfeed this morning, I read much of the same YOU did.  ARGH!!!!

I don't like what I see, it angers me, tries to bring a chilling effect of fear, and after I posted a couple of things on my page, I thought NO!  I cannot afford to be in fear and frustration, so I then removed them from my page.  I have to run back up into that Secret Place of the Most High, and STAY there.  Trusting and believing His Word and saying so with my mouth, Refusing to lend myself to fear and frustration.

Yesterday, one of he things God ministered to us at our fellowship, was  "Be still and know that I am God." The only way any of us will be able to do that is to be dwelling/living in the Secret Place He has for us.  Abiding under His shadow, by BELIEVING what He's already told us in the whole chapter of 91, and making the choice to be obedient to all God has said in His Word.

My maternal Grandmother had this WONDERFUL rocking chair that she would take us into her lap and rock us in that squeaky old thing.  Every time she did, it would still our hearts.  There was NO

PLACE like being with Grandma in her rocking chair  That reminds me of what God's Secret Place is to us.  That should be HOME to us, abiding, living and not visiting there.  The time I would have in Grandma's lap would be limited, but the time we are living, abiding, DWELLING IN GOD'S SECRET PLACE - He's made JUST FOR US....Actually, He designed it for our LIVING space.

I stay there by trusting what He's already told me, believing that He's good for it and remain obedient - not just that, He wants to Love on us, it's a LOVING PLACE.  It doesn't mean we have our head in the sand, or oblivious to what is going on around us, but we are able to take EVERYTHING to God in prayer.  Remembering this:  James 5:16 - Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous (believing) man avails much.

....Come away with Me, My Love.

Keep Looking Up

KEEP    LOOKING   UP

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;

In the morning I will direct it to You, 

And I will look up.

Psalm 5:3

WE NEED GOD.

We need Him every day, in all of our lives.  

He wants us to involve Him in every part of our lives.  Are we?

He wants us to inquire of Him, to show us which direction, in our lives we NEED to go.

If left to our own devices, we are likely to go down paths that are not intended for us, where traps of hell are waiting for us.  Traps that could take a lifetime to get out of and/or to be free of the effects of them.

He wants us to ask Him to show us what He has for us.

He told us in His Word:

Jeremiah 29:11-14

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity.

He has PLANS FOR US.  Just for US.  He knew about US, the plans He has for us since before the foundations of the Earth, when He created it, He knew that you would be here, in this point of time....before we were on the globe.  God was, and still is, so looking forward to us being here, and walking and talking and fellowshiping with Him.

His thoughts towards you and are are of PEACE and not evil.  I LOVE THAT.

He would like us to defer to Him to Help us miss the pitfalls in life that the enemy of our soul has laid and continues to lay for us to fall into.

Do we ask Him about which car we need to own?

Do we ask Him about which house He's planned for us to buy for rent?

Do we ask Him about which church HE has intended for us to be a part of?

Do we ask Him about that business venture that we are considering?

Do we ask Him about which business partner He has in mind for us?

Do we ask Him about which job He has in mind for us, to bless us with?

Do we ask Him about the size of family HE has planned for us.

Do we ask Him about relationships He has designed for us to have in our lives.

Do we ask Him about when or if He wants us to marry, and if so to whom?

Do we ask Him about when and where to vacation, or travel?

He wants to involve us in every part of our lives.  Not because He wants us to miss out on the fun stuff that WE have in mind, but because He's interested in our safekeeping and how to BEST BLESS our lives.  We have NO IDEA how wonderful His thoughts and plans are towards us.

I remember when we moved to a country house quite a number of years ago.  I did NOT want to live in the country, at all.  As it would happen, this house was made available to us.  We'd been searching for a house for about three years.  While we finished moving in, I was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot tea, looking out the East window.  About 1 1/2 miles away I saw a group of horses frolicking in the pasture they were feeding from.  It was then that I realized, "God this was the desire of my heart, and I NEVER EVEN KNEW it. Thank You."

There are dozens of instances where I've found the same thing, only because I asked HIM to HELP us and lead us in the way He has for us.

Often we humans have such a puffed up idea about the worth of our own ideas, then go about MISSING OUT ON GOD'S BEST FOR US.

Haven't we all been there, done that?  Are we tired of our own misled, disappointing thoughts, and plans of ours, yet?

Are we tired of losing our own way, and the inexpressible lack of peace in our lives yet?  It's never too late to inquire of the Lord.  It's never to late to ask HIM what HE THINKS ABOUT IT.  What did He say?    

His thoughts towards us are of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  In Jesus' Name.
