This is not a yes or no type question....Please share your thoughts.....
Thank You
Jim

From what i understand from a preacher vet, psalm 91 is part of the soldiers prayer. And for me i believe it and take it with me wherever i go. I trust God to protect me no matter where i am! So i believe it is very important!

 

[Fish Catcher Jim]

I am shocked that people have ignored this thread. Makes me wonder if they have any idea how important this Psalm and or prayer truly is.... Especially in this day and age.......I tell you what..........YOU better never leave home with out it...Truth be told........this should be prayed of our homes and families and lives every single day and thank God for the truth of His word and promise.......
Thanks for your thoughts
Jim

I have herd a few testimonies, in the field in irac, where praying psalm 91 saved a few peoples lives. Very powerful prayer! Many people in here have mentioned being in the secret place of the Almighty and that comes from ps 91.

I surely enjoy the whole thing but my favorite verses are vs 1-2, and 14-16
Blessings

While I'm against the Gospel of Prosperity or the Word of Faith movement, I believe that in the peak of fellowship and sanctification and being led by God you will experience his blessings to the max. It takes true obedience. It's not a salvation issue. And it has nothing to do with tithing more than 10 percent, nor does it take verbal proclamations like the New Agers do with mantras, and that thing called the Secret surreptitiously preached by Joel Olsteen.

The Proverbs say "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.".

It's about being honest and close to God.

It's like the pharisee and the tax collector. The tax collector was faithful, and went away justified.

If you being evil know how to give good things to your children, how much more will the father give to them that ask
- Yeshua
​

The father loves us despite our filth. And he wants to fluff us clean, and see us prosper, for his name sake. And All the glory goes to him.


We must ask him to guide us and keep us in his word, and keep his word in us. He doesn't want to see us even stub our toe. I try to push things off my mind thinking "that's narcissistic, not Gospel". But the Gospel is good news. We were fearfully and wonderfully made by Christ and for Christ, and are sustained by Christ (Psalm 139:14, Colossians 1:16-17).

And it's through humility. He is our refuge. Without him, we'd be dead and homeless.

Soli Deo Gloria.

Way back when, when I was a contractor, Father told me to give up my health insurance, I asked Him what should I do, what should I rely on, He gave me this Psalm, ...the only times I've been whacked is when I move out from underneath His shadow.

Thousands shall fall beside the, but it shall not come nigh thee... No evil shall befall thee... (Ps. 91)

This goes beyond soldiers. But it's to every believer. Think about it. Think of 9/11. Thousands fell that day. But it did not come near you. And you can thank God for life, but also mourn with and pray for the families and witnesses that went through such horrors. Think of all these disasters happening.

I believe still that It can come upon the Christian, but we must always trust it Yahweh that it will not happen.

Oh i fully agree it is for me, and every believer! And i do trust that Yahweh will keep all bad things from coming my way. And yes i pray for them all of the time. Thanks for the reminder!
Blessings!

I think that some of the word of faith and prosperity teachers are being mis-understood. The ones that i have heard are not only being prosperous money wise (so that one has a lot to give away to help the Body of Christ) but also that our souls and lives as you described may prosper. It's as you said allowing God to prosper us in every way, because of our obedience to the Ways that God has for us to walk. And all of this comes by speaking the Word, and knowing the Word. Meaning that one cannot grow unless you know the Word of God, and are committed to live one's life by it. And as you said that as we are obedient we will be blessed beyond, what we can imagine or believe.
Much peace and blessings to you my friend!

I see the total effort of God's protection upon those that are His. As His work (Eph 2:10) it is to His glory, and not our obedience. It is Him which leads us in the paths of righteousness (Ps 23:3) as He works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. (Php 2:13), and we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb 13:6).

I fully agree, but if we choose not to obey what He has placed in us then He cannot protect us from our unwise decisions. Blessings
Obtw......awesome verses my friend!

Shadow of almighty:
Romans 1:19-20
Solar eclipse. Just past two sheddings of blood, Jesus came between the wrath of the father and the sin of the world (mankind).

Once the salvation offering was finished it is a rest ( that is eternal) shadow. We are reminded of that each blood moon and solar eclipse.

Hidden from the foundation of the earth. Made real on the inside of man; through the kingdom coming to the inside of man. Revelation 3:20

I love this psalm. when taken to spiritual realities, it soars to new heights. When written it has one glory, but when seen unfolded it is something way beyond us.

I actually waited till some had posted, and then make this observation. Not muzzle the ox has a meaning way beyond the ox. Shadow of the almighty especially points to the one shadow we need to gather under.

It should be pretty blatant.
●Embracing New Age Ideologies (such as the law of attraction)
●Preaching little gods doctrine, or simply that people are gods.
●Teaching Jesus took on the nature of satan
●Teaching a camel can squeeze through the eye of a needle
●Entrance of the Kundulini Spirit
●Overall unnecessary and blatant sensationalism
●Neglecting prophecy and weak scriptural teaching

This barely scratches the surface. Ask. Seek. Knock. Eph 5:11

So brother I say this in Love I really do...
So you can copy things from the internet...cool....thats word for word from aposting from some pastor...
Now most of this stuff you mentioned if not all has NOTHING to do with Faith or prosperity or what is being taught.
Again....I ask you to explain your comment......your words brother not something you read or heard or watched on a utube video after reading some ones postings...again I say this in love but I want an answer from you not some one else.

I think we were both clicking away on keyboards / touch screens at the same time, and with the same general thought. Kind of amazing. I had all sorts of problems getting post to operate.

Those are not "copied and pasted". What you said is nothing more than a simple redherrig. In other words you're just avoiding the situation by in essence saying "you copied and pasted. And because you copied and pasted, you are therefore wrong." Please avoid that silliness.

These things are straight out of the mouths of sharp teeth with wool coats.

Kenneth copland said "When I read in the bible when he says I AM, I smile and say I AM too".

Benny Hinn said "When we call our selves Christians, we call ourselves Messiah. I am Moshiach. Let me say even better. We are gods".

Joyce Meyer said "Cattle kind comes from cattle. Man came from God. Godkind comes from God. We are little gods."

They all take psalm 82 out of context saying "have I not said ye are gods," not finishing the context [showing elohim to mean rulers in this context] "but ye shall die like men".

Joel Olsteen quotes directly from the Secret, a DVD teachin the occult law of attraction.

These are straight from the mouths of the teachers. When, or where, or how, or from whom I learned these things does not determine the truth of the matter; that would be fallacious thiniking. I could go on and on about the WO[L]F movement. But this the last thing that I am posting so the thread stays on topic.

Be sober. Be vigilant. The seprent is subtil.

Well ya know, if that is how you see it then that is how you see it....But I would be careful saying things about Gods servants.....He warns us not to do so....
I am not avoiding anything...........so ok you did not copy and paste.....It still reads the same as on the net.No biggie.
