Shalom,
Psalm 91:1-2 contains the conditions that must be met for the rest of the Psalm to be fulfilled in our lives!
1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
We MUST spend time in the "secret place". That is the place where we are aware of HIS presence in us! The place of intimate fellowship with HIM! That is where we come to KNOW Him, to TRUST Him, to RELY on Him for everything! Here is the song "One Thing" by Hillsong that says exactly that!
Luke 3:3-4, speaking of John the Baptist, says this:
3 And he went into all the country round about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance (of hearty amending of their ways, with abhorrence of past wrongdoing) unto the forgiveness of sin. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness [shouting in the desert]: Prepare the way of the LORD, make His beaten paths straight,
This ended a 400 year drought of the voice of God to His people! There had been no prophetic Word in all that time. THIS was God's perfect time to prepare the way for the Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the world to come on the scene! WE are living in just such an extraordinary time today! We are so very close to the time of the Appearing of Jesus for His church! Make HIS priority YOUR priority and you, too, will hear from the Father, "Well done"! AMEN!
Numbers 26:64-65 is very sobering AND encouraging at the same time!
64 But among these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness, There was not left a man of them except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
God had said that not one of them except these two would see the promised land because of their unbelief, and that is exactly what happened! God's Word IS Truth! It has NO contradictions! If you think you have found one, you have simply found an area that you need more knowledge in! When everything around us looks like it is falling apart, we will ALWAYS have the WORD! AMEN!
Shalom in Him!
