GOD'S WORD (BIBLE SCRIPTURES) WILL STRENGTHEN AND FORTIFY CHRISTIANS AGAINST LIFE'S PROBLEMS
I) THE LORD'S PRAYER
Matthew Chapter 6
II) PSALM 23-THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Psalm 23
III) YOU AND I MUST TRUST IN GOD ABOVE ANYONE ELSE TO BE BLESSED & PROTECTED BY GOD
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Mat 22:37-39 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
IV) WHEN WE CHANGE OUR THOUGHTS (HEART CONCERNS) TO GOD'S THOUGHTS OUR CONNECTION TO THE "DEEP (PIT)" WORLD OF EVIL IS BROKEN.
2Cr 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
2Cr 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Phil 4:8 We should only be thinking about Godly and Upbuilding Things
PSA 69:1-3 King David was being persecuted/afflicted (Psalm 119:84, 86, 107, 153, 157, 161; Dan 10:13): in the "deep/pit" (Ps 69:1-3, Ps 119:85) of the supernatural.
Ps 119: 1, 67, 92, 97, 113, 153, 163, 165 King David had to remove his own thoughts from this world and change his thoughts, heart and attitude to God's Word (Law).
Psalm Chapter 18-David was then Delivered from this Deep (Psalm 18:16-17)
V) IT IS GOD WHO SENDS LIFE'S PROBLEMS TO "PUSH" US INTO HIS WILL (JOB CHAPTERS 1 & 2, JOB CHAPTER 38)
DO NOT BE AFRAID OR WORRIED ABOUT WHATEVER COMES YOUR WAY IN THIS LIFE (PHIL 4:6-8)
GOD'S ANGELS ARE ALL AROUND YOU PROTECTING YOU
Romans 8:28 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.
Prov 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
Ps 46:1[[To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.]] God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble
PSALM 91:1FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER THEE, TO KEEP THEE IN ALL THY WAYSDan 6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
VI) WE MUST OBEY GOD'S WAY ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS LIFE. JESUS IS IN EVIL CAN'T WIN
Ephesians 6:11-18Christians Must Always Have On The Armor Of God To Successfully Defeat Evil. Also- A Christian's actual battle is with the evil spirit realm (Matthew 10:1; Luke 10:17-20)
2 CORINTHIANS 2:14- NOW THANKS BE UNTO GOD, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST
AND MAKETH MANIFEST THE SAVOUR OF HIS KNOWLEDGE BY US IN EVERY PLACE.
ISAIAH 54:17 NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER; AND EVERY TONGUE THAT SHALL RISE AGAINST THEE IN JUDGMENT THOU SHALT CONDEMN. THIS IS THE HERITAGE OF THE SERVANTS OF THE LORD AND THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OF ME, SAITH THE LORD
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Philippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
VII) IF YOU WANT GOD'S BLESSINGS THEN EVERY DAY BE SURE TO PRAISE GOD, WORSHIP GOD, PRAY TO GOD, DANCE FOR GOD, MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE TO THE LORD, AND BE SURE TO WORSHIP GOD WITH THOSE GATHERED TO PRAISE HIM.
1) Read the Book of Psalms-Psalms and the Apostle Paul (New Testament) teach you how to please God through your worship.
2) When you don't worship God with God's people you inadvertently minimize your blessings (Hebrews 10: 23-25; Acts 13:1-9).
