HOW GOD SUSTAINS US DURING DIFFICULT TIMES “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." (PSALM 23:5) PASTOR A. GLEN BASUEL 1. GOD FELLOWSHIPS WITH US IN OUR HARD TIMES "YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES…” “BUT LET ALL WHO TAKE REFUGE IN YOU BE GLAD; LET THEM EVER SING FOR JOY. SPREAD YOUR PROTECTION OVER THEM, THAT THOSE WHO LOVE YOUR NAME MAY REJOICE IN YOU.” (PSALM 5:11) 2. GOD ANOINTS US FOR OUR PROTECTION AND FOR HIS PURPOSE “YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL” “14 IS ANYONE AMONG YOU SICK? LET THEM CALL THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH TO PRAY OVER THEM AND ANOINT THEM WITH OIL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. 15 AND THE PRAYER OFFERED IN FAITH WILL MAKE THE SICK PERSON WELL; THE LORD WILL RAISE THEM UP. IF THEY HAVE SINNED, THEY WILL BE FORGIVEN. 16 THEREFORE CONFESS YOUR SINS TO EACH OTHER AND PRAY FOR EACH OTHER SO THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED. THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS PERSON IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE.” (JAMES 5:14-16) “1 THE SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS ON ME, BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME TO PROCLAIM GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM FREEDOM FOR THE CAPTIVES AND RELEASE FROM DARKNESS FOR THE PRISONERS, 2 TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF THE LORD’S FAVOR AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD, TO COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN,” (ISAIAH 61:1-2) 3. GOD PROVIDES OUR NEEDS WITH OVERFLOWING BLESSINGS “MY CUP OVERFLOWS.” “HOW ABUNDANT ARE THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU HAVE STORED UP FOR THOSE WHO FEAR YOU, THAT YOU BESTOW IN THE SIGHT OF ALL, ON THOSE WHO TAKE REFUGE IN YOU.” (PSALM 31:19) “GIVE, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. A GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER, WILL BE POURED INTO YOUR LAP. FOR WITH THE MEASURE YOU USE, IT WILL BE MEASURED TO YOU.” (LUKE 6:38) 1.
