The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Oh hallelujah. Praise You Lord. Praise You Lord.
Praise You Lord. Hallelujah. A few weeks ago we did what I'm about to do but I know there is a
number of you that might not have been with us. And it won't hurt you to do it again. There's a
lot of concerns about the coronavirus and other things but we took an immunization a few weeks
ago. You remember that? An inoculation. And so it won't hurt us to take another one. And
for the folks that weren't here, you can take one with us right now. Somebody might say what,
what? I don't want to take a shot. You want this one. You want this one right here. Psalm 91,
put it on the screen for us. Y'all can just stop playing and let's focus on this. Put it on the
screen Psalm 91:1 and we're going to read through the whole Psalm. It won't take long. Just a minute
here. But we're gonna put it in the first person and we're going to take it for ourself. Are you
ready? Okay let's pull the syringe here all right we got it. Are you ready? We're we're gonna put
it right here. Are you ready? Say it out loud. I dwell. We'll just read it together. I dwell
in the secret place of the Most High. I abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Now you're
not just reading this. You're taking this. Is that right? You're confessing it over yourself. You're
receiving it into yourself and around yourself. Verse 2: I will say of the Lord He is my refuge
and my fortress, my God in Him will I trust. Hallelujah. Just like you receive Jesus as Lord
of your life, you receive Him as your provider. You receive Him as your protector. Say it out loud
again. He's my God, my refuge, my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust. Surely He will
deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. He will cover me with His
feathers and under His wings shall I trust. His truth shall be my shield and buckler. I will not
be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day. Nor for the pestilence
that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday. Now stop right here.
Back back up to the fifth verse. What did we say? What'd we say? Now see, there's there's a God-ward
side to keeping you but there's a man-ward side. We got our part. We must receive what He said, we
must believe what He said and we must not yield to fear. Say it out loud, I will not be afraid. See,
He mentions four different categories of things. I won't be afraid of the terror by night, I won't be
afraid of the arrow that flies by day, next verse, I won't be afraid of the pestilence that walks
in darkness, I won't be afraid of the destruction that wastes at noonday. Say it out loud, I refuse
to fear. See, fear makes one subject to that. That you're afraid of. It makes you vulnerable. But
faith makes you immune. Hallelujah! Keep going. A thousand shall fall at my side and ten thousand
at my right hand but it shall not come near me. Come on say it again, it shall not come near me.
Say it again, it shall not come near me. Aren't you concerned about it? Aren't you afraid? Aren't
you concerned? It shall not come near me. You know what you just did? Keep reading. Only with my eyes
shall I behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because I have made the Lord my refuge, the Most
High my habitation, there shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come near my dwelling.
Are we reading the Bible? Are you a believer? Do you receive this? Neither shall any plague come
near my dwelling. That's your house, that's your apartment, that's where you live. Say it again,
neither shall any plague come near my dwelling. It is written Psalm 91:10, for He will give His
angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways. They will bear me up in their hands,
lest I dash my foot against a stone. I will tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the
dragon shall I trample under feet. You know the scripture said the devil goes about as a roaring
lion seeking whom he may devour. And don't you like that word "may." "May." "May." There's some
he may and I'm looking at some may nots. That he may not. And so instead of him devouring you,
you're gonna trample over him. Keep reading. Because I have set my love upon You, therefore You
will deliver me. You will set me on high because I have known Your Name. I will call on You and You
will answer me. You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver me and honor me. Hallelujah.
We're honoring Him right now by acknowledging He's all-powerful and He has the power to keep us. And
we trust Him and we rely on Him. And those that honor Him, He will honor. Verse 16 with long life
You will satisfy me and show me Your salvation. Praise be to God. Praise be to God. Do you see
how you get to verse 16? How do you get to "long life, You'll satisfy me." What? The arrow didn't
get you, the pestilence didn't get you, the plague didn't get you. Come on can you see that? The Lord
kept you and protected you. Violence, disease, famine, lack. None of that took you out. And
you kept living and were sustained and kept until you were old and satisfied. Hallelujah! You don't
have to go and leave here until you and the Lord get good and ready for you to go. You don't have
to go from some crazy accident, or crime, or one of the devil's stinking diseases. We'll go
when us and the Lord get good and ready for us to go. Go ahead and lift your hands. Thank the
Lord for His keeping power in your life. Lord we worship You. We praise You. We thank you.
We release faith. We receive this into our lives and over our households and our families and we
confess that You are our God. You are our refuge and our fortress and You do keep us. Thank You
Lord. Hallelujah. Praise God. Well, it would have been worth you coming this morning just
to get that right there. Well, smile at somebody and shake a hand or two and you can be seated.
