Are You a Lover of Truth

Truth has to be going into us—and coming out of us—at all times. Behind the pulpit, in the pew, in our own private lives and outside of church we need to search to see if we truly love truth. If you have an area in which things consistently go wrong, look closely. You will often find that there is not an adamant love of truth, because truth always sets one free. Just to acknowledge truth is not enough; one will not continue to adhere to the truth unless he chooses to love it.

 God Will Set You Securely On High - Psalm 91

To be set securely on high is the second promise to those who love the Lord and know Him by Name. What all is there to know about a name? When God wanted to show the people something important about Himself, or about His promises in the Old Testament, He would make it known by revealing another one of His covenant Names. His Name revealed Himself: Jehovah Jireh is above lack, His Name Jehovah Rapha is higher than sickness, His Name as Jehovah Shalom is above a revved up, restless mind. We see this theme of His Name above all other names also in the New Testament.

Psalm 91 - God Rescues Us From Trouble

The Fourth Promise of Psalm 91 - to rescue from trouble those who love the Lord—is found in the middle of verse 15. It is a well-known fact that human nature cries out to God when faced with trouble. Men in prison, soldiers in war, people in accidents... all seem to call out to God when they get in a crisis. Even atheists are known to call on the God they don’t acknowledge when they are extremely afraid. 

By His Stripes We Are Healed

Jesus has already borne every sickness and disease on His own body for us. It is already accomplished. If we believe that, then we need to realize that SYMPTOMS that comes on our body are not ours until we receive them. Why, because Jesus has already borne it for us.

The Thief Comes to Steal, to Kill, and to Destroy....

Jesus very simply said exactly the same thing in John 10:10—“The thief [that includes all his demon powers] comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy....” Most people take that statement too lightly. What Jesus was saying is very literal. But in the counterpart to that—Jesus said, “...but I have come that you might have abundant life.” And the way we have that life is by thinking and acting dependently upon God rather than independently on our own.
