The promise of longevity, health, deliverance and promotion

UV 360/10,000 Ps 91 v 14 The Promise of Long Life, Salvation, deliverance, honour and promotion Psa 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name When we frame our lives with the Lord as the center, the focus, the circle of our existence, the purpose of our life, He promises to satisfy us with longevity, to deliver us when we call to Him in trouble, to set us on high or to promote us from one level to another, to honour us. The shadow of God or the presence of God will always be with us. Though it is only a shadow, it is as solid as the walls of a fortress in defending us. We only need to set our love upon His Name, His presence, His Word, His purpose, His work, His Kingdom. No evil or deadly disease shall overtake us when we are constantly surrounded by the power of God. The Lord should be the secret source of our strength and power. We should also confess our faith in Him before other people. He will then protect us from accidental occurrences as well as deliberate plots and conspiracies to harm us. We will however see the continuing judgement on the unrepentant and wicked. Psalm 91 is the psalm of my testimony. It is also a life insurance policy for which all the premia has been paid with the blood of Jesus. We can get declared and unexpected bonuses on account of it from time to time. The law of God is different from the law of mankind. The latter defines various negative acts for which the punishments are prescribed. The law of God defines the benefits and blessings of belief that is equated in His eyes as obedience. The blessings of the Lord are as in the Hebrew word Shallom- wholesome and holistic, meeting needs of spirit, mind and body, lacking in nothing, sufficient in itself, overflowing in joy Initially, the presence of God is with us like a shadow that we can barely perceive. But as we grow stronger and more mature in faith and in the spirit, we can sense His presence and His move in our lives as if they are the solid walls of a house. The Lord is our habitation. We inhabit the Lord. It is our habit to live,move and exist within Him. He will send us his angels to guard us in all our ways. The Lord once confirmed this saying, “ Outside your house, you have many servants and guards but inside your house, I have sent many more angels to guard and uphold you.” When our heart attitude towards God is right, He will determine our altitude or set us on high like He determined which planet and star moved in which orbit. He knows our circumstances. He knows our known and unknown threats. He knows our visible and invisible enemies. He has an army of angels and an array of weapons to deter, to defend, to protect, to preserve, to promote, to strengthen, to encourage, to provide and to equip us. Prateep V Philip
