OUR PLACE OF STRENGTH AND SAFETY
Psalm 46:1-3 says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed…though the mountains shake…”
Let’s look more at this verse and what it means for us.
Refuge: (Strong’s 4268) is machaceh (makh-as-eh’) which means a shelter, place of refuge or hope, a place of trust.
Strength: (Strongs 5797) is ‘oz (oze), a place of boldness, might, power, strength.
Fear: (Strong’s 3372) is yare’ (yaw-ray’). It has a double meaning depending on the context of the surrounding scripture. First it means to cause to frighten, to be afraid, put into fear, affright, terrible, and second, to morally revere, to be in reverence. In this passage, it is the first meaning, that we need not to be afraid of anything no matter how bad it may appear.
This passage of scripture tells us that our hope is to trust in the Lord as our place of shelter. That then places us in a place of holy boldness in God’s power and mighty strength that works from within us. Due to our place of safety and our active faith and trust, we should never be afraid of consequences. God is on our side.
This is confirmed in 2 Timothy 1:7 where it says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of (bold) power, and of love, and of a sound mine (that is fixed upon Him).”
Sickness, disease, adversity of any kind, should never cause us to doubt or to waiver in our trust of God. Ephesians 6:10 says, “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might (strength).” Our strength does not come from ourselves, it comes from the Lord.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD
In Romans 8:28 is often taken out of context. It says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
If you read the entire chapter, it speaks about walking in the flesh vs. walking in the Spirit. These are two opposing walks. One is led by our old nature, and the other by the Spirit of God.
Verse 26 lets us know that the Holy Spirit helps our infirmities, which means weaknesses. We all have weaknesses of one sort or the other. It goes on to say in verse 26, “Likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought…” From this verse we learn that when we don’t know how to pray with our intellect and understanding that is when we pray in tongues. The verse goes on to say in the last part of verse 26 says, “… but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
This does not mean that it isn’t spoken! It means that it isn’t spoken in words that are understandable. This is indicative of praying in tongues. In 1 Corinthians 14:2 it is speaking about praying in tongues. It says, “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.”
We, in the natural do not understand the language of tongues unless God gives us the interpretation. When we speak in tongues we aren’t speaking to man. We are speaking to God.
So back to Romans 8. Verse 27 says, “And he that searcheth the hearts knowing what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
When we pray in tongues, we see that Holy Spirit prays through us and prays the will of God on our behalf. The reason we pray in tongues is because we are seeking answers and Holy Spirit speaks on our behalf to God about the situation.
Then, we realize that our prayers in the language we speak, and Holy Spirit praying through us in tongues brings verse 28 into understanding. These two types of prayers, “….work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.”
It doesn’t mean that the situation we are trying to get answers about is always good. It means that praying in the Spirit (tongues) helps us learn the will of God in that situation, because they work together for good for the one that prays.

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
What would you have me say, saith the Lord? What would you have me say? For I have spoken to you time and time again to come into my presence and spend time with me, but there have been many times that you have failed to do so. You want to hear a word from me, but it will only come through spending time in my presence. You must remember that My Sheep hear My Voice. If you are not hearing, perhaps you have not taken the time to listen. For this is the hour of great shifting and shaking where you must spend time alone with me. It must be a priority of your daily walk my child. For like a little child that loves its father, you must climb up into Abba’s arms and just sit here and let me touch you and hold you. For there are many things that I would like to say, but you must quiet yourself to hear. You must shut out the noise of those things that are distractions if you are to hear my voice. You must shut out all things that would hinder you from hearing. Yes, there are good things to do my child, but they should never be a priority over spending time with me. Oh, that my children would come to their Father and just sit at my feet. I have much that I want to teach them, but they are distracted with so many things. For the hour we are in is an hour of deception. If you don’t take the time to come and be with me then you may fall into the enemy’s traps that he has set for you. He has every intention of seeing you fail in your walk. He will not stop my child so take time to come, and just sit still until you hear my voice. Be serious about your love for me. I am about to send my son to receive his bride, but she must not be complacent about his coming. She must long for him and long for the Father like never before. Oh, my children, take the time to be quiet. For have I not said, “Be still and know that I am God?” For how can you hear with your mind full of other things. Let this be the day that you choose to set at my feet quietly and wait for me to speak. I love you my child and I have much to share with you. Come now, and let us spend time together.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHECTIC EXHORTATION
4-11-2023
Today I urge you to look to God for your supply, your strength and your peace. Like never before many of you have and/or will become…More fearful, more lonely, more depressed and more confused as things gets crazier as the days go by. However, you can always put your complete trust in God; For God and God alone remains our strong tower. The good news is that you can run to Him and not be afraid in these evil days that are coming on our land. Just remember as evil and violence escalates all around us; Even still the almighty power, peace, presence and protection of God will rise up greater. Oh yes, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is so much greater than all the demonic hoards of hell that’s rampant in our world today. Therefore we can say as the great warrior of old David said in Psalms 20:7…”Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” You see David knew a lot about battles; And as he looked around that day he saw plenty of chariots and horses, which of course, was “The War Machines” of his day. Yet David reassured everyone close by him that only God could protect them in that hour. Yes, my friend there will come a time to us all when “things”just won’t work any longer. It’s then we must find our only hope is NOT trusting the system or the people; But in times like these…Jesus is the Answer…The ONLY ANSWER to the world’s chaos that’s hovering all around us today. So have yourself a safe, peaceful and blessed day; As you keep on believing in God…The One…The Only One who’s able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all you can ask or think. (Eph. 3:20)
