The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
When we hear testimonies we hear God say do it again… and that sparks our faith
into hearing what God has for us.
I have shared some stories with you this weekend. ...
maybe some stories you can share with others, maybe you have stories to share on your own. Our stories are prophetic words and promises into those that hear them
revealing and showing the heart of God for us. and what God wants to and is willing to do for us....
Testimonies reveal the person and character of God. his love his compassion, his heart caring and loving his people. His history and how he interacts with us.
Very important -
when people are sharing their testimonies we can see and hear how differently God reveals himself to all of us.
The root word in hebrew for Testimony is TO DO AGAIN.
Stories of God moving brings encouragment and spark and refresh our faith we all love a good story of God moving
There is something that happens when we share a story - an atmosphere is created and the room can get pregnated by people hearing a testimony DO IT AGAIN Lord
That word can ignite passion in us that God can do it again and not only again but for us.. for me and for you!
Remember Benny Hinns miracle crusades. Worship and testimoniy nights,
Benny Hinn Meetings talk about them and the culture of faith that is created
Short focused Testimonies. are so powerful infusions of faith.
When I was just saved and I hardly knew the bible, but I could discern the presence of God and I saw these meetings on television with Benny Hinn
I had no church, not training no connectins but the TV
the worship drawing down the presence.. I with my friend would drive around town and pick up people that neededa lift often from downtown and tell them stories of how God would move and how his presence would com from watching these crusades with Benny Hinn. and some became so hungry to know more that I invited them to my house to watch these tv shows and then pray with them and multiple people Got saved and the word spread out…
and I the guy who could hardly speak God pushed me by the wall.
My passion for God moving - pushed me to grow out of my limitations
and being dead in Christ helps Moses stuttered - God can use anybody that is willing.
it was so strange some of my friends would speak and share things but when I shared and opened my mouth there would just be silence in the room and the anointing would come and hit us all. Drunk people became sober asking for their money back had been drinking alcahol for 200$ the whole nigth and now they are sober.
Yesterday I shared a story about my friend Guðmundur that lost his hands and I told you what God did for him. but I did not explain fully all the prophetic sympolism God was showing me through his story.
We talk about us being the body of Christ his arms and feet and the synbolism of the fingers being the apostle, prophet, teacher, evangelist and pastor.
What God spoke to me in this process was that he is raising up the fivefold ministry gifts in a great way in these times.
What is starting to happen now all over the world is apostolic hubs are arising.
that are aimed to train and equip people into ministry. not only the fivefold but the whole body.
and I believe you guys here are a powerful training center. and that the Lord is going to help you build equipping and training schools to prepare and send people out in many ways and forms.
By what I sense by being with you guys here is that you are an apostolic church
let me explain what I mean by that..
When we look at the book of Acts we can see 2 types of goverment models emerging the pastoral church and the apostolic center. We are so familier with the pastoral church
but I see and feel in the season of the apostolic centers are arising up this day.
YOU MAY ASK WHAT IS THE DIFFEREnCE OF THESE TWO.
THE PASTORAL CHURCH IS AIMED AT PROVIDING A SAFE HOUSE AND NURTURE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD
THE APOSTOLIC CENTERD IS FOCUSED ON EMPOWERING THE SAINTS OF GOD TO RELASE THEM INTO THE HARVEST.
PASTORAL CHURCHES CAN BECOME MAINTAINANCE ORIENTED WHILE THE APOSTOLIC THRIVES ON DEVELPMENT AND EXPANSION. PASTORAL CHURCHES CAN BE QUIET AND FALL INTO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WHILE THE APOSTOLIC STARTS TO SHAKE THE GROUND.
ITS A new structure - aligning up with a apostolic vision. There is something that happens when we make this shift the apostolic alignment is geared into team building. not just the pastoral that tends to get stuck in comforting the hurting
in iceland today for the general public the church excists to do funerals and weddings its silent and does not have a word in season. its just service.
Where is the heartbeat of God for the churches - what are you feeling and hearing the Lord say to you? what is knocking on your heart. ?
I Read a little yesterday from the book of acts chapter 2 about the church that was arising there.... what jumps so hard out to me reading that yesterday
was “and the lord added to those being saved every day”
Is there something in the model of the church that is holding back growth?
I dont know about you but these are my thoughts..
bigger ralllies, better preaching, better programs and all of these structural things wont do it more conferences…
I talked about sowing the net together In Gods kingdom its about the relationships the friends ships the koinania. to be connected to the body.
We can get so stuck in mainteinance mode and taking care of what we have there
there is no renewal. where will we then be after 20 years ?
Genesis 49 God lives in the next generation and we have to pass down what we know to the coming generation! talk about this dream some.
God is helping us breaking out of the old and moving into the new
Here is how this works
The prophet sees something opening and a new pasture beyound the horizon
The apostolic says lets go check it out.
For the pastor change is challenging and thats why we need the five fold ministry gifts and the whole body working to expand and then keep the harvest.
Just a prophet or just and apostle leading a church can often be like the leaders have ADD they cant focus on where they are they are always going somewhere.
I once heard this powerful statment
LET LIFE CALL FOR STRUCTURE - NOT STRUCTURE CALL FOR LIFE
If we get stuck on the structure we can end up drained and broke after building the walls
but if we build with the Life brick by brick line up one line precept upon precept here a there
10 “For He says,
‘Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’ ”
We build with the life that God is leading to us. one by one and that is easier.
God puts in us hunger for change, provoking us that what we have is not enough, there is a deep cry in our hearts for something greater, bigger, better, more anointing, more God, more this more that.. This is the act of the Holy Spirit provoking us for action not giving us peace in our hearts with the status quo.
I like conferences like this one, but if we are just holding conference to hold a confernce everything will fall into the same pattern next week.
If God is speaking we need to look and see if there are turns to be made or shifts to do in order to align us up to where we want to be
I have been talking about equipping some
When somone is sharing a word they got from God we need to hear how they God it. how did they discern it, when this person got healed in your meeting did you pick up something special? When do you move, when do you sit back and wait?
What are we sowing to activate those around us into ministry?
to do the same again?
We have to teach the simplicity of the gospel and taking the steps of faith in order for the Holy Spirit to come and step in.
Jesus did it this way
1. I do it, you watch me.
2. We do it together
3. You do I watch
When we start to work a new job - especially if it is in a company that handles somekind of production, we have to see how the person before us handles the equippment, feels the machines and how they move and function..
we watch the supervisor do it, then we do it with him, and after a little while he is just observing that we are doing things correctly.
This is desperatlly needed in the body of Christ. Training and equipping in safe places. so people will feel equipped and with the confidence to Go out.
We are SENT ONES
We all have a calling, goals and missions in life Remember the commisioning of Moses.
Exodus 3:1–14 (NASB95)
1 Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2 The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.
3 So Moses said, “I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.”
4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
5 Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
6 He said also, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
7 The Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.
8 “So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
9 “Now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
10 “Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain.”
13 Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
It took God a lot of time to prepare Moses but in front of the burning bush the commisoning took place. Moses turned aside..... he could have walked passed the burning bush but he was curious
In that encounter we have
God the sender
Moses the sent one
and the mission at hand.
That was Gods dialouge with Moses
Moses payed attention to the extrordanery.
In the gospel of John we see him often use expressions like “the father who sent me” and in
John 5:37-38 (NASB95)
37 “And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.
38 “You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.
and again in
5 “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
18 “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
Just as God send Moses, and his prophets and apostles and people so God is sendign us me and you.
We have the mission in.
16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Jesus is saying to them You have made me an apostle now I make them apostles.
Here is a key
When God raises up the apostolic the pattern is like this.
a word is sent from heaven causing the earth to alight with it and whosoever carries the word has authority to make declaration on earth as in heaven let it be God.
10 ‘Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
7 “Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;
8 for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
its under this word that we know we have been sent according to Mark 16:15
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”
Think about this forming a team an apostolic team was priority for Jesus -
We need each other, serving God is not a one mans show. God builds with teams
Ecclesiastic 4:9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
the apostolic always builds teams
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
Paul was runing forward in his seal with the gospel but it was Barnabas that saw the potential in Paul
1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Paul only knew The holy Spirit was sending him with Barnabas but they ended up building commuities all over.. then they returned to antioch their sending base to give a report of what the Lord has done.
Then paul and silas traveled ogether in flexability linking churches to apostolic networks. Apostles dont build alone! they equip teams and people around them into ministry. make connections happen for others.
The church in antoich was a new breed of apastolic church commisioning people into missions and sending out to the field.
28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Pauls Home base was Antioch were he kept returning to.
Paul went from city to city from region to region preaching the gospel and making disciples Acts:14:21
21 After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
We can also see that Paul rarely worked alone
He traveled with Barnabas and Silas and John.
5 When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.
40 But Paul chose Silas and left, being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
and then they added Timothy
1 Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,
2 and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
.We know that Luke wrote the book of acts
4 And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5 But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.
There the writer of the story says WE so we know Luke was there and we see them being dispatced to many places before reuniting at the home base.
By the hands of Paul God build multiple apostolic teams.
can you imagine hearing the stories of the home base when these teams came back?
Timothy and Titus put a church in order and DR Luke and Prophet Silas were on the move aswell and we see variety of gifts around Paul during this time.
the people That were saved were led into communities not just saved from something but into a fellowship and relationship and to be apart of the koinania added to a spiritual family
We then see Paul stopped in Ephesus and Corinth to speak to the churces there and walk them into a place to have apostolic influence.
All of these churches and places were connected to Pauls network and developed into places that would impact the world.
Paul seemed to have great understanding on the gospel and also the warfare at hand.
The enemy trying to steal the word sown into the soil before it starts to manifest!
29 “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;
30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 “Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.
Paul the apostle created apostolic teams to build and plant new churches or leading excisting churches into their next phase of development
God sends apostles to invade, occupy and transform.
God is restoring the Apostolic network and connections with the Whole body.
Over the last centuries I think the apostolic networks activity have been low kay. but God is arising them and connecting the hands to the body and arising the fivefold ministry again.
We are seeing more and more prophets arise and apostles coming forward.
Look at this statement in the book of acts
ALL WHO LIVED IN ASIA!!
10 This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
They had no internet, and no wifi no cars, nor airplanes can you imagine the work they must have done?
24 For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen;
25 these he gathered together with the workmen of similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that our prosperity depends upon this business.
26 “You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.
We can see the effects of Pauls ministry in Acts 19:18-19
18 Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
19 And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
They kept sending missionaries out Acts 19:22
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT YESTERDAY
God gave the increase
and added to those that were saved daily.
I believe when we are giving what God has given to us we will see growth and increase, develpment and God leading us forward.
If we look at the life of Paul by what I have been sharing we see that he was focused on developing other leaders
2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Equip others to equip others.
The apostolic vision is geared towards the future and the next generations while the pastoral tends to focus on the status quo. But we need both to work together in harmony. The apsotolic without the pastoral blows up. and often ends in chaos and ruins because the apostles are more focused on the future than the present.
The focus on apostolic centers is on training people to do ministry rather than ministering to them.
the apostolic treats people as disciples not just as converts People are not trained to fit the Church programs, worship and prayer meetings and told to sit in their seats and listen but trained, equipped and encouraged to walk into and dig up their own destiny.
The apostolic foundation works as a spring board for people to step into ministry!
The apostolic center is a church but its a term that helps us identify what kind of church or ministry we are building.
Like I have shared God loves to take people that are broken and rejected and build out of them a powerful army
remember David and the army of misfits. the cave of abdullam
David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there. All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
“Stay with me; don’t be afraid; the man who is seeking your life is seeking mine also. You will be safe with me.”
By the time we get to chapter 22, David is on the run for his life. David, is seen running from town to town, hiding out from King Saul and his men, who were in hot pursuit. In order, David hid out in Gath in Philistia (1 Samuel 21:10—15); Adullam in Judah (22:1—2) and Mizpah in Moab (22:3—5). It is interesting to read of how David describes himself during this very dark time in his life:
I am hunted like a partridge, 1 Samuel 26:20;
I am like a pelican in the wilderness, Psalm 102:6;
I am like an owl in the desert, Psalm 102:6;
My soul is among the lions, Psalm 57:4;
They have prepared a net for my steps, Psalm 57:6.
Can you imagine being called of God and anointed by God as king of Israel, experiencing an amazing victory over a giant, being best friends with the present-king’s son, playing a harp in the palace at the king’s request, only to find yourself hiding out from that very king in foreign lands in caves?
As you may imagine, David was weary during these years of flight from Saul. In fact, the closing verses of chapter 21 reveal what must have been lowest point in David’s life—
That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances:
” ‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands’?”
David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard. (21:10—13)
God’s anointed one, reduced to this. When a believer loses heart, his behavior changes; there is an unbreakable connection between one’s confession and one’s conduct. When your faith and your heart are steadfast in the Lord, you will act like a child of God. But when, for whatever reason, your faith fails and your heart grows weak, your conduct will betray that.
Remember Ziglag… Maybe some of us feel that way. the enamy has raided our camp and everything is gone…
David at ziglag
David Destroys the Amalekites and the Trouble on Returning to Ziklag
David Destroys the Amalekites and the Trouble on Returning to Ziklag
30:1 When David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and set it on fire. 2 They took the women in it captive, from young to old. They did not kill anyone. Instead, they carried them off and went on their way. 3 David and his men came to the town, and it had been burned down. Their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and cried until they had no more strength left to cry. 5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal’s former wife, had been captured. 6 David was in great danger because all the people were bitter because of their sons and daughters, and they were talking about stoning him. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
David Pursues the Amalekites
David Pursues the Amalekites
7 David told Ahimelech’s son Abiathar the priest, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 David inquired of the LORD: “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?”
The LORD told David, “Pursue them! You will definitely overtake them and rescue the captives.” 9 So David and 600 men who were with him set out. They came to the Wadi Besor where those who were left behind stayed. 10 David and 400 men continued the pursuit, while the 200 men who were too exhausted to cross over the Wadi Besor remained there.
An Egyptian Leads David to the Amalekites
An Egyptian Leads David to the Amalekites
11 They found an Egyptian man in the field, and they took him to David. They gave him food to eat and provided water for him. 12 They gave him part of a fig cake and two bunches of raisins. After he had eaten, he revived, since he had neither eaten food nor had he drunk water for three days and three nights. 13 David told him, “To whom do you belong and where are you from?”
The Egyptian replied, “I’m a young Egyptian man, the slave of an Amalekite man. My master abandoned me, because I got sick three days ago. 14 We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory that belongs to Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we set Ziklag on fire.”
14 David asked him, “Will you take me to this raiding party?”
He said, “Swear to me by God that you won’t kill me or turn me over to my master, and I’ll take you to the raiding party.”
David Defeats the Amalekites
David Defeats the Amalekites
16 The Egyptian led him to the camp,w and there the Amalekites were spread out over the whole area, eating, drinking, and celebrating with the great amount of spoil they had taken from the territory belonging to the Philistines and to Judah. 17 David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not one of them escaped except for 400 young men who mounted camels and fled. 18 David rescued everyone whom the Amalekites had captured, including his two wives. 19 Nothing of theirs was missing, whether small or large, sons or daughters, spoil, or anything that they had taken for themselves—David brought back everything. 20 David took all the rest of the sheep and cattle, driving them ahead of their rescued livestock. People said about all this, “This is David’s spoil.”
David Divides the Spoil
David Divides the Spoil
21 David came to the 200 men who were too exhausted to follow him and who had been left at the Wadi Besor. They came out to meet David and the people who were with him. As David approached the people, he asked them how they were doing. 22 At this point, all the wicked and worthless men of the group who had gone with David answered, “Because they didn’t go with us, we won’t give them any of the spoil that we recovered, except that each person may take his wife and his children and go.”
23 David said, “No, you won’t do this, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us. He guarded us and gave the raiding party that came against us into our hand. 24 Who will listen to you in this matter? Indeed, the share of those who went down into battle and the share of those who stayed with the supplies will be the same. They’ll share alike.” 25 From that day forward he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, and it remains to this present day.
David Shares the Spoil with the People of Judah
David Shares the Spoil with the People of Judah
26 David came to Ziklag, and he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, and to his friends, telling them, “Look, this is a gift for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD 27 in Bethel, Ramoth-negev, Jattir, 28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa, 29 Rachal, in the Jerahmeelite towns, in the Kenite towns, 30 in Hormah, Bor-ashan, Athach, 31 Hebron, and for all those places where David and his men had frequented.”
1 Samuel 21:1-30:31
From the beginning.
Transfering from the old to the new ! from structure to relational networks
I was sharing yesterday about a study that it only takes 7 people to reach anyone in the world. Someone you know, knows somebody that knows someone that knows somebody that knows the person you desire to reach.
fakedPsalm 34 (NASB95)
A Psalm of David when he faked madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed.
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 O fear the Lord, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want.
10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man who desires life
And loves length of days that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones,
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
I have multiple pages on facebook but one that I keep the most alive is a group called Personal Propehcy group.
there I post a lot of short teachings, stories and encouragments.
