Die Hard Series: Part 2

Psalm 118:1-18

Psalm 118:1–18 TPT

1 A praise psalm Keep on giving your thanks to God, for he is so good! His constant, tender love lasts forever! 2 Let all his princely people sing, “His constant, tender love lasts forever!” 3 Let all his holy priests sing, “His constant, tender love lasts forever!” 4 Let all his lovers who bow low before him sing, “His constant, tender love lasts forever!” 5 Out of my deep anguish and pain I prayed, and God, you helped me as a father. You came to my rescue and broke open the way into a beautiful and broad place. 6 Now I know, Lord, that you are for me, and I will never fear what man can do to me. 7 For you stand beside me as my hero who rescues me. I’ve seen with my own eyes the defeat of my enemies. I’ve triumphed over them all! 8 Lord, it is so much better to trust in you to save me than to put my confidence in someone else. 9 Yes, it is so much better to trust in the Lord to save me than to put my confidence in celebrities. 10 Once I was hemmed in and surrounded by those who don’t love you. But by Yahweh’s supernatural power I overcame them all! 11 Yes, they surrounded me, like a swarm of killer bees swirling around me. I was trapped like one trapped by a raging fire; I was surrounded with no way out and at the point of collapse. But by Yahweh’s supernatural power, I overcame them all! 13 They pushed me right up to the edge, and I was ready to fall, but you helped me to triumph, and together we overcame them all. 14 Lord, you are my true strength and my glory-song, my champion, my Savior! 15 The joyful songs I now sing will be sung again in the hearts and homes of all your lovers. My loud shouts of victory will echo throughout the land. For Yahweh’s right hand conquers valiantly! 16 The right hand of Yahweh exalts! The right hand of Yahweh will never fail. 17 You will not let them kill me, but I will live to tell the world what the Lord has done for me. 18 Yes, the Lord punished me as I deserved, but he’ll never give me over to death.

Psalm 118:17 KJV

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

Hard 2 Kill

The Tony Evans Study Bible (Psalm 118)

118:1–4 The psalmist calls on Israel (all God’s people), the house of Aaron (all the priests), and those who fear the LORD (all who take him seriously) to give thanks to him. Why? Because his faithful love endures forever. Notice the repetition.

Psalm 118:1–4 KJV

1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

The biblical writers weren’t able to emphasize important truths with bold typeface or italics like we do today; instead, they used repetition for emphasis.

If there’s one thing the psalmist wanted us to know, it is this: for those who come under God’s covenant covering, his loyal, covenantal love lasts forever.

It doesn’t get any better than that.

But If you pay attention to the text The Prophetic gift jumps out at you

Psalm 118:6 KJV

6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

The Tony Evans Study Bible Psalm 118

The apostle Paul conveyed the same idea this way

Romans 8:31 KJV

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

I promise you, in order to declare this, you really must believe it & you must have a personal relationship with GOD.

I dare you slap your neighbor and tell them i ain’t never scared when the Lord is on my side..

You’re Hard To Kill

See Some of ya’ll scared to share how good God has been to you,

I understand you embarrassed...

You don’t want your kids, grand kids & spouse to look at you differently.. If they only new…

You didn’t have to grow up in church all your life to realize your Alive right now because as much as the devil wanted to Kill you.

God didn’t let it happen.

AIDS, HIV, Crack, PCP, Meth, Alcohol, Hoeing, domestic violence, Mental health, Sickness & afflictions, Poverty, money, Succcess, incarceration & divorce..

Many of us have gone through many of those items and while we where dealing with this issues it seemed as if we would never come out.

Victory is Found Only in God

Psalm 118:10–14 GNB

10 Many enemies were round me; but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord! 11 They were round me on every side; but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord! 12 They swarmed round me like bees, but they burnt out as quickly as a fire among thorns; by the power of the Lord I destroyed them. 13 I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated, but the Lord helped me. 14 The Lord makes me powerful and strong; he has saved me.

But Surprise I am Still Alive:

The Holy Bible: King James Version Psalm 118

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly

Listen Your Hard To Kill… And its time to praise God for keeping you alive..

I got to go… Let Me Prophesy to you..

Psalm 118:17 KJV

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
