Do You Know What God Has Promised In Psalm 91?

6/29/2019

God lets us know in Psalm 91, “You will not be afraid of terror, arrows, pestilence or destruction because I have said in My Word that it will not approach you—if you are obedient to verses one and two to dwell in My shelter and abide in My shadow.” And, of course, we cannot dwell and abide in Him apart from Jesus. But, praise God!—because of the shed Blood of the Cross, it has now been made possible. We can receive anything that God has already provided. The secret is knowing that everything for which God has made provision is clearly spelled out and defined in the Word of God. If you can find where God has offered it—you can have it! It is never God holding it back. His provision is already there—waiting to be received.

Faith is not a tool to manipulate God into giving you something you want. Faith is simply the means by which we accept what God has already made available.
Our goal needs to be the renewal of our minds, to such an extent that we have more faith in God’s Word than in what we see. God does not make promises that are out of our reach.

When the Lord first began showing me these promises and my mind was struggling with doubt, He took me to a portion of His Word that helped to set me free.

What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written: that thou mightiest prevail when thou art judged.
–Romans 3:3-4

God is telling us that, even though there may be some who don’t believe, their unbelief will never nullify His promises to the ones who do believe. A very important part of that verse in Romans 3 is the reminder, in a quote from the Old Testament, that what we as individuals choose to believe and confess will determine our own individual judgment.

Without the promises of protection throughout the Word of God, and especially, without our Psalm 91 covenant—listing all of the protection promises in one chapter—we might feel rather presumptuous, if, on our own, we prayed asking God to protect us from all the things covered in these four categories. In fact, we probably would not have the nerve to ask for all of that, but God is so good. He offered this protection to us before we even had a chance to ask! It was God’s plan to provide protection for His children, even before the foundation of the world.

My husband Rick Johnson and I have been reading your books now for years and we keep ordering the military edition where you added his testimony a number of years ago. We constantly give them away. You have been such a tremendous blessing in our lives. We thank God for you!!

How wonderful to hear from you. I will make sure that Peggy Joyce and her daughter Angie know of your correspondence today. The Psalm 91 testimonies Rick shared remain so powerful today! What a great witnessing tool you have to share the goodness of God!! (Pg. 153 in the red-cover God's Shield of Protection book for anyone wanting to read Rick's incredible story.) This book continues to be a blessing to our Military, First Responders, their families, as well as many others. Thank you again for sharing a portion of your life story with readers. So very appreciated. We would love to help with bulk orders for you or anyone else reading this. (Ann for PJ)

I now read psalm 91 out loud every day as a result of you teaching. I ask God to make the Psalms rule over my household.

I pray Psalm 91 every day. I also have Peggy Joyce’s book “Those who trust in the Lord shall not be disappointed” which I find very inspiring especially as I’m going through a serious health problem which Doctors can’t find a reason for. I have lost 10 kilos in 5 months and I was only 48 kilos to begin with. Everything I eat I lose so I’m not getting any nourishment.
I have copied out parts of the book such as:
“Lord, I am trusting You in the middle of this impossible situation, and I know the time will come that I will not be disappointed – so I am making the choice not to allow feelings of disappointment to overtake me now”
I am saying this constantly as well as Psalm 91 every day. It’s hard not to be disappointed when the problem doesn’t improve but even gets worse.
I try to quieten my mind in case God is speaking to me or giving me advice but I don’t hear anything. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong.
Any words of comfort or advice would be welcome.
