I am re-publishing this blog post I wrote over a year ago. I made a commitment to walk through Psalm 91 with you and never did. That time is now! I can’t get away from that Psalm. No matter what I have been reading over the past 3 weeks, at some point in my day I go to these scriptures–every day.
The time is now. The time has always been now. The presence and command of God’s word is timeless and never changing. Let’s walk this walk together.
Anyone that has known me for a long period of time, knows one of the ways the enemy attempts to attack me is with the spirit of fear. The attack will come in various ways, shapes and disguises (nightmares, worry, anxiety), but at the end of the day the root of the attack is fear.
Over the years, the Lord has helped me devise strategies to defeat this fear and the most powerful weapon He has given me is memorization of scriptures. I have written out and committed most (not all–still working on that) to memory and the one I use the most is Psalm 91. All of Psalm 91, you may ask? Yes–all of Psalm 91! Each verse specifically addresses battling fear, God’s protection and deliverance. What better weapon is there than God’s own word spoken onto the spiritual atmosphere? It is God and His word that builds us up and destroys the works of darkness.
So, let’s take a walk through Psalm 91. Let’s discover or re-discover the richness and power of God’s word in this Psalm together!
Prayer–Lord, thank you for giving me the powerful weapon of Your word. Thank you that I do not have to walk this journey alone, but I have you and those around me to walk this path. I will no longer yield to fear, but will stand. I will no longer be on the defense, but will go on offense against fear. I will no longer be too afraid to move, I will just move knowing You have my back!
In Jesus’ name, Amen
