The Lord Is My Light And My Salvation

PSALM 27:1-6
“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? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident. One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬

Fear affects us all at one time or another; it is one of the most powerful of the devil’s weapons. He is using it today in an attempt to bring our lives to a halt, to destroy the world’s financial systems, businesses, jobs, stability, and to manipulate our governments, and the people of today.
He is trying to use it to stop the assembly of God’s people for prayer and worship, but assembly must continue regardless (see HEBREWS 10:25).
He is doing everything he can to fulfil his purpose to still, and to kill, and to destroy, but Jesus came that we shall have life, and have it abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
My brethren, the devil knows his time is fast running out, and he is doing everything he can to claim as many people as his own before Jesus Christ returns (see REVELATION 13:14-18).
But God is working non stop; pouring out on His people; “‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Fear, like hot is the opposite of cold, is the opposite of faith, I tell you the truth, just as Jesus said Himself, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you (MATHEW 17:20). By faith, the mountains in your life can be removed and cast into the sea (MARK 11:23).
I encourage you, the Lord is for you, as He was for David, and in times of trouble He shall hide you in His pavilion, in the secret place of His tabernacle.
Jesus through His faith ascended into heaven in times of prayer. In His day He was the only One, but He said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The world is getting darker, but the light of Christ shines through the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it (JOHN 1:5).
The devil is on the attack and the battles are intensifying; but Paul told us, “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Be prepared for the coming battles being right with God, and like Jesus, ascend and pray in the Spirit above the line of the enemy where you become out of the devil’s reach; and you like Peter, shall walk above the storm knowing that Jesus is there at arms length to lead you to safety and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
My brethren, whatever situation you may be facing, however impossible it may seem, God already has it covered, all you need do is believe.
Does that mean it shall pan out exactly how you hope? No of course not, but Christ sees the whole picture and will take you to the eternal victory, for “we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Like David, make the desire of your heart to live in God’s presence every day of your life and you shall be lifted up above all your enemies. Your impossible situation will no longer be impossible, for everything is possible with God (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26).
Surely our Almighty God deserves all our praises and more.
I tell again, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen
