Confidence in the Lord: Psalm 27:1-3

 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Today’s message is encouraging us to have confidence in the Lord because of who He is and His sovereign powers. We fear only God and we are careful of evil men.

If the question is raised, why must we have confidence in the Lord whom we cannot see, but man we do see? We are to have confidence in the Lord because He has proven Himself to be trustworthy and faithful to His promises. We have confidence in the Lord because He is the creator and sustainer of all, which includes all humanity, evil and good men. Evil men are under God’s control and in God’s time He will bring evil men’s deeds to an end; therefore, trust God and never doubt Him. When God says, I will take care of you, trust Him. Cast all of our cares upon Him, and leave them with Him (Psalm 55:22, 1 Peter 5:7). More importantly, God did not give us a spirit of fear; He gave us power through the Holy Spirit, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7 partial paraphrased).

Fear only God, and trust Him for your deliverance.

A Healing of a Nation: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Our nation, our world, is in chaos and needs healing, so join me in a worldwide prayer asking God to heal our land. There is so much devastation. Everywhere you look, there is devastation, flooding in one area, fires burning out of control, hurricanes recking havoc that will take months if not years to recover. This scene is on display throughout the world. I receive notices of flooding in other parts of our world. Hunger and diseases are ravaging the country, fighting in other parts of the world.  People, we need to turn back to God.  We are members of the human race created in the image and likeness of God; therefore, let us pray for and love one another. This nation has many sins it needs to be forgiven for; therefore, let us humble ourselves before th...

Cry Out To The Lord: Luke 18:35-43 KJV

  And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36   And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37  And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38  And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39  And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.   And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41  Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42  And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43  And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. The story of the blind man indicates many in our world today crying out for help; the questi...
