I once got a dream...In the dream I'm calling a sister from Church and telling her..."Hi sis I'm very tired ..physically drained out"
( I literally was feeling that way as I had over exerted myself doing lot of cleaning etc)
She told me.."Julia just keep saying Psalm 23 over & over again"That's all, soon after my alarm rang and I woke up and it was 6.15 AM. Thought of starting to say "Psalm 23". But as soon as I said the 1st verse...my mind got jammed with so..many voices saying different verses of Psalm 23 at the same time...just to confuse me and I could not go beyond verse 1.. I knew the enemy was disturbing my thoughts.
(He too can quote scriptures..:)
he did not want me to say Psalm 23. So opened the Bible and read that Psalm. Psalm 23A psalm of David.1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Then through the day I kept repeating "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD" and really felt my strength renewed... Guess what I was just about to sign out of Multiply that night and the last posting I saw in my in box was from a sister in Christ Lani and was titled.. was titled "Psalm 23".. So I clicked to open it but the page just froze.. But I was not going to give up.. Kept refreshing and read it.... Coincidence?? No I think God wanted me to read it again...
Is He strengthening me or preparing me for something??
Is that a word of encouragement and comfort??
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS WORD..
It always refreshes, restores, edifies, strengthens.
This was Lani's post.
The Lord is my shepherd................that's a Relationship !
I shall not want.........that's Supply ! He maketh me to lie down in green pastures..........that's Rest ! He leadeth me beside the still waters........that's Refreshment ! He restoreth my soul.........that's Healing ! He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.......that's Guidance ! For His name sake.......that's Purpose ! Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death.......that's testing ! I will fear no evil.......that's Protection ! For Thou art with me......that's Faithfulness ! Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me........that's Discipline ! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine Enemies.....that's Hope ! Thou annointest my head with oil.........that's Consecration ! My cup runneth over........that's Abundance ! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.........that's Blessing ! And I will dwell in the house of the Lord........that's Security ! Forever...........that's Eternity !
Have a blessed day
