Today's Scripture(s) - Psalm 91:1
When I opened my bible today I was at Psalm 91. "I" thought within myself: "Everybody knows this so surely this is not where I need to be reading." I set my elbows on the table and folded my hands, closed my eyes and began to sing in my mind "There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus. To break every chain, to break every chain to break every chain ...." Then I opened my eyes looked down and read the first verse of Psalm 91 and the Spirit stopped me right there. Psalm 91 is not a "good luck" charm. Psalm 91 is not an "I'm in trouble chant". The very first verse of Psalm 91 gives 'instruction' and it gives the complete benefit of following the instruction given.

Today's Scripture(s) - Psalm 91:1 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." There is no staying in the shadow of the Almighty without abiding in the secret place of the most High! The enemy cannot touch you when you are abiding under Father God's shadow. The enemy cannot find you when you are abiding under Father God's shadow. The enemy will try to launch attack after attack and you may feel the vibration of the impact but the weapon formed against you will NOT prosper. (Please understand that what I am about to say the Lord just spoke it so clearly to me and all I can do is type through tears...): When we abide under His shadow the Father absorbs the full impact of what the enemy throws our way and the Father laughs at the enemy and has the him in derision, (Read Psalm Chapter 2). You see Child of God, when the enemy launches an attack he launches it against the Lord and against His anointed. We are His anointed! This is powerful Child of God! Cultivate your relationship with the Lord. If you haven't been, start today. If you are in question how, ask Him to show you, ask Him to teach you, ask Him to lead you into true intimacy with Him, knowing Him, loving Him, seeking Him with all your heart. He will do it. Ask Him to show you how to 'dwell' in the secret place.

Father God in the name of Jesus I come to you this day with thanks and praise.
