Today on our 40 days of Lenten journey today we discuss and pray about the “Election”… This election process is really big right now, and Dr. Jamal H. Bryant joined in a march a few days ago along with Al Sharpton to re-in-act the great Alabama March of the 60’s.. They are currently urging all churches to sign up at 20 people or more in each congregation to registar to vote all around the globe to try and sign up at least one million Christian and African American Voters… This is a blessing that we have so many of our leaders sticking out their necks to try and pave the way for our future generations which is so greatly appreciated… “Election, Election, Election!!! Get out and vote and make a difference on Election Day!!!
Get connected to God, and Stay connected!

Declare out loud that something big is going to happen to me.
If you are prepared for regular small blessing, don’t do it with us.. God is getting ready to do it exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask.
Something big is getting ready to happen.. When God does something he is getting ready to do it big..
The two biggest buildings you see when you go to any place downtown are the banks and the insurance companies. They are the largest because they do not think small.
Only in church do we down size things.. God gave a vision to Noah, and he told him to build an arch.. He was leading the children across the red sea.
God is assigned to do something big!
I am speaking to those that have a ridiculous vision.
What you have been dreaming is on the scale of heaven proportion..
It is frustrating to have a big dream when you are surrounded by mediocre people.. When God gives you a dream it never fits in the parameter..
If you can afford it, its not from God..
God always gives you a dream that does not match your Fico score or your credit score..
A lot of us are frustrated because we have a dream beyond where it is I am right now..
God is getting ready to do something incredible..
Our country is in a critical place right now…
God told me to tell 50,000 of you that: “God is getting ready to finance your dream from an untraditional resource.”
He said: “when the praises Go up to God, that’s when the blessings come down..!”
If I had to escort you to the bank after you have done a demographic study of your dream, they are going to ask you a battery of questions..
1. How much money do you need?
2. How long before you pay it back?
3. If you don’t get the loan what are you going to do?
4. What is your level of investment?
They are not going to give you 100% of your dream..
If you are not going to invest in your own dream, then they are not going to either..
If you invest in your own dreams, God is going to make it come to pass.
He is going to use you to redefine your family’s name.. What God has put in you, that keeps waking you up at night… You realize that the job you are on, this job does not deserve me.. Because my dream is of such value.
Nehemiah chapter 2 – Our dream is falling apart… His dream was about self advancement.. If someone else will be benefited by your dream, God is behind it.
He had been holding on to that dream, but never spoke it…
I don’t know if you are in California or Canada..”You are holding on to a dream because you don’t know who you can trust..”
” Everything that was in your heart is getting ready to be in your hand…”
While he was serving the King, they asked him why are you so solemn in his presence? It was that you could not be in front of the King and be frowning…
Ladies, I am fretful of people that work in ministry that have a bad attitudes… You should be saying that you are glad to be in the service..
How are you serving me, when you have a bad disposition?
Those of you that work in ministry and still have to deal with folks at home.
Don’t you dare think I’m going to let you work in ministry and not save your house, your marriage and your children..
What profits a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul?
I want to see my family prosper..
For those of you that want to see your family prosper, give God some glory!!
While you are in worship, somebody in your family is getting ready to be cancer free, somebody is getting out of jail.. somebody is getting ready to get their passion back..
How do you expect me to work in ministry and my family is falling apart?
Nehemiah, is just a cup barrier… because the King was nervous because the Kings father died from wine poison..
Somebody had put hemlock in the father’s cup…
I’m trying to brace myself.. Nehemiah, stood as an example..
Whatever happened to your father is not going to happen to you!!!
You are going to do more than your Father was ever able to accomplish..
The bitterness your father experience, is not going to affect you.
I come to serve that nasty devil notice that the curse over my family is over…
Hallelujah!!! I need somebody in this room that knows that their children are going to be better than their father..
Knowing that you are a joint air with the father..
And he asked of him a critical question, and it’s my responsibility from the Holy land to ask you?
When will you be finished building the wall?
It’s the only time the King as the citizen to set their own deadline..
When you worship him on tonight, you get to set your own deadline… If you don’t have this kind of faith, then this is not for you…
He asked the King to pay for it… but what is amazing ladies and gentleman.. He never put out a bid for a contract… He did not even know how much it was going to cost.
God is not interested in paying for anything cheap..
God is positioning heaven to pay off your most expensive bill.
God is getting ready to pay off student loans.. He said if you give me glory I am putting equity back into your house..
Whatever is your most expensive bill on your kitchen counter, on your table…
I’m getting ready to pay that bill that is delinquent..
Nehemiah, has no experience.. He is sending some friend’s that will help him.
There is a preacher proclaiming that money is coming.. I’m proclaiming that God is getting ready to send you some people that are not gong to be jealous, but want to see what God has got for you.
I need every person in the room to get $1.00 in your hand and lift it up… This is precious valuable television time.. I don’t want Jan to jack me up..(lol)… I want you to put a dollar in your hand and every child hand and then lift it up toward heaven… Those that are watching on the Internet and on your ipads and iphones, lift up your $1.00… He is going to pray right now…“That dollar is the smallest thing you ever gone have!!!”… I want that dollar lifted in your hand… I want you to put that dollar in someone else’s hand… I need you to give it someone you don’t know, and move very quickly.. As soon as you exchange it, sit down.. Bahamas, Jamaica, South Africa is watching tonight.. TBN around the world… God told me to tell you to get ready… He told me to tell you that:“Strangers are getting ready to bless you with money!!!..
Press down shaken together running over… I can’t hear you TBN.. Your children are getting ready to get full scholarships…
My time is almost up… Hallelujah… Just so the people that are watching to hear the conviction of your faith ‘Strangers are getting ready to bless me”
“Strangers are getting ready to bless me…”
Be seated, and this is the last time I’m going to ask you to be seated… Orlando, Florida studio audience, you guys have a spirit of disobedience..
I don’t know why God would strategically put us in this moment.. This is leap year, you are getting ready to jump over the process. Stuff that you are not qualified for… You are not going to have to kiss up, you are going to leap into it!!!… I just need 50 crazy praisers to just leap if you feel like it is your leap season…
You are getting ready to jump over people who are more qualified than you.. You are getting ready to jump pass haters that thought they could block you… God is getting ready to make it your leap.. It’s your leap year. 200 people that believe by faith with me… I’m only giving you 90 seconds.. We are going to be jumping while yawl giving..
I need 200 of you that believe God is getting ready to jump you over your foreclosure.. He is getting ready to jump you over you car repossession.. He told me to tell you that:”
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I’m telling you that you are getting ready to pass the people that you normally call that are above you..
Nehemiah, just had vision… God is getting ready to pay the bill of imagination. For the business in your heart that have not even opened.. God is getting ready to financé imagination.. Woman of God, that conference is getting ready to happen.. Pastor, that building you are in is too small. God is getting ready to bless you… Your book is going to be a New York best sellers… Your album is going to be a best seller..
“Everything is on the line and I am not going to let you be embarrassed.”
Those that are going to be asking for seeds, we are going to be asking in a non traditional way… Because it is leap year, and I’m gong to ask you for $29.00.. Most of us have a dyslexic praise… We are getting ready to shout for what he is getting ready to do in your imagination… Every person who has a crazy dream. Declare two words
“It’s now!” For the rest of this year, I am pledging a leap seed. God is getting ready to jump me over process. I need you to bless a seed into your children dream..God has given your child a leap anointing… This year you are going back to school and finish that degree. God is getting ready to help you raise that child without child support..I’m getting ready to restore everything you lost in your bank account.. You are getting ready to leap past your past.. God is getting ready to do what no one could orchestrate.. Something big is getting ready to happen for you…

1 Do not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep that has any defect or flaw in it, for that would be detestable to him.
2 If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, 3 and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky, 4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. 6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 7 The hands of the witnesses must be the first in putting that person to death, and then the hands of all the people. You must purge the evil from among you.
Law Courts
8 If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge—whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults—take them to the place the LORD your God will choose. 9 Go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give you the verdict. 10 You must act according to the decisions they give you at the place the LORD will choose. Be careful to do everything they instruct you to do. 11 Act according to whatever they teach you and the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right or to the left. 12Anyone who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the LORD your God is to be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel. 13 All the people will hear and be afraid, and will not be contemptuous again.
The King
14 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,” 15 be sure to appoint over you a king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite. 16 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” 17 He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold. 18 When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees 20 and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
Deuteronomy 18
Offerings for Priests and Levites
1 The Levitical priests—indeed, the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings presented to the LORD, for that is their inheritance. 2They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the LORD is their inheritance, as he promised them. 3 This is the share due the priests from the people who sacrifice a bull or a sheep: the shoulder, the internal organs and the meat from the head. 4 You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep, 5 for the LORD your God has chosen them and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the LORD’s name always.
6 If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD will choose, 7 he may minister in the name of the LORD his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the LORD. 8 He is to share equally in their benefits, even though he has received money from the sale of family possessions.
Occult Practices
9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God.
The Prophet
14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so. 15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” 17 The LORD said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. 19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”
21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.
Deuteronomy 19
Cities of Refuge
1 When the LORD your God has destroyed the nations whose land he is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their towns and houses, 2 then set aside for yourselves three cities in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess. 3 Determine the distances involved and divide into three parts the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that a person who kills someone may flee for refuge to one of these cities. 4 This is the rule concerning anyone who kills a person and flees there for safety—anyone who kills a neighbor unintentionally, without malice aforethought. 5 For instance, a man may go into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and as he swings his ax to fell a tree, the head may fly off and hit his neighbor and kill him. That man may flee to one of these cities and save his life. 6 Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue him in a rage, overtake him if the distance is too great, and kill him even though he is not deserving of death, since he did it to his neighbor without malice aforethought.7 This is why I command you to set aside for yourselves three cities.
8 If the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as he promised on oath to your ancestors, and gives you the whole land he promised them, 9 because you carefully follow all these laws I command you today—to love the LORD your God and to walk always in obedience to him—then you are to set aside three more cities. 10 Do this so that innocent blood will not be shed in your land, which the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance, and so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed.
11 But if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor, and then flees to one of these cities, 12 the killer shall be sent for by the town elders, be brought back from the city, and be handed over to the avenger of blood to die. 13 Show no pity. You must purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood, so that it may go well with you.
14 Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
Witnesses
15 One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse someone of a crime, 17 the two people involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite, 19 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. 21Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Deuteronomy 20
Going to War
1 When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you. 2 When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army.3 He shall say: “Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them. 4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” 5 The officers shall say to the army: “Has anyone built a new house and not yet begun to live in it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else may begin to live in it. 6 Has anyone planted a vineyard and not begun to enjoy it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else enjoy it. 7 Has anyone become pledged to a woman and not married her? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else marry her.” 8 Then the officers shall add, “Is anyone afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his fellow soldiers will not become disheartened too.” 9 When the officers have finished speaking to the army, they shall appoint commanders over it.
10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroythem—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God.
19 When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees people, that you should besiege them?20 However, you may cut down trees that you know are not fruit trees and use them to build siege works until the city at war with you falls.

A person was anointed for a special purpose—to be a king, to be a prophet, to be an builder, etc. There is nothing wrong with anointing a person with oil today. We just have to make sure that the purpose of anointing is in agreement with Scripture. Anointing should not be viewed as a “magic potion.” The oil itself does not have any power. It is only God that can anoint a person for a specific purpose. If we use oil, it is only a symbol of what God is doing. Exodus 29:7 – You shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.
Donnie McClurkin – Total Praise feat. Richard Smallwood
Exodus 40:9
9 “Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy.
Ecclesiastes 9:8
8 lLet your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head.
2 Kings 9:6
6 So he arose and went into the house. And the young man poured the oil on his head, saying to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, I anoint you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
Another meaning for the word anointed is “chosen one.” The Bible says that Jesus Christ was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit to spread the Good News and free those who have been held captive by sin (Luke 4:18-19; Acts 10:38). After Christ left the earth, He left us the gift of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16). Now all Christians are anointed, chosen for a specific purpose in furthering God’s Kingdom (1 John 2:20). “Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
Question: “What is the anointing? What does it mean to be anointed?”
Answer: The origin of anointing was from a practice of shepherds. Lice and other insects would often get into the wool of sheep, and when they got near the sheep’s head, they could burrow into the sheep’s ears and kill the sheep. So, ancient shepherds poured oil on the sheep’s head. This made the wool slippery, making it impossible for insects to get near the sheep’s ears because they would just slide off. From this, anointing became symbolic of blessing, protection, and empowerment.
The New Testament Greek words for “anoint” are chrio, which means “to smear or rub with oil, and by implication to consecrate for office or religious service”; and aleipho, which means “to anoint.” In Bible times, people were anointed with oil to signify God’s blessing or call on that person’s life (Exodus 29:7; Exodus 40:9; 2 Kings 9:6; Ecclesiastes 9:8; James 5:14). A person was anointed for a special purpose—to be a king, to be a prophet, to be an builder, etc. There is nothing wrong with anointing a person with oil today. We just have to make sure that the purpose of anointing is in agreement with Scripture. Anointing should not be viewed as a “magic potion.” The oil itself does not have any power. It is only God that can anoint a person for a specific purpose. If we use oil, it is only a symbol of what God is doing.
Question: “What does the Bible say about anointing oil?”
Answer: Anointing oil, mentioned 20 times in Scripture, was used in the Old Testament for pouring on the head of the High Priest and his descendants and sprinkling the Tabernacle and its furnishings to mark them as holy and set apart to the Lord (Exodus 25:6; Leviticus 8:30; Numbers 4:16). Three times it is called the “holy, anointing oil” and the Jews were strictly forbidden from reproducing it for personal use (Exodus 30:32-33). The recipe for anointing oil is found in Exodus 30:23-24 and contained myrrh, cinnamon and other natural ingredients. There is no indication that the oil or the ingredients had any supernatural power. Rather, the strictness of the guidelines for creating the oil was a test of the obedience of the Israelites and a demonstration of the absolute holiness of God.
Only four New Testament passages refer to the practice of anointing with oil and none of them offer an explanation for its use. We can draw our conclusions from context. In Mark 6:13, the disciples anoint the sick and heal them. In Luke 7:46, Mary anoints Jesus’ feet as an act of worship. In James 5:14, the church elders anoint the sick with oil for healing. In Hebrews 1:8-9, God says to Christ as He returns triumphantly to Heaven, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever…” and God anoints Jesus “with the oil of gladness.”
Should Christians use anointing oil today? There is nothing in Scripture that commands or even suggests that we should use similar oil today, but neither is there anything to forbid it. Oil is often used as a symbol for the Holy Spirit in the Bible as in the parable of the wise and foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). As such, Christians have the presence of the oil of the Spirit who leads us into all truth and anoints us continually with His grace and comfort. “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth” (1 John 2:20).

Grace, Peace through Jesus Christ –
Scripture: II Corinthians I- 2 Corinthians 1 (NIV)
2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise to the God of All Comfort
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
Paul’s Change of Plans
12 Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity[b] and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace. 13 For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, 14 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you might benefit twice. 16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea. 17 Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas[c] and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.” 20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. 21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
23 I call God as my witness—and I stake my life on it—that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.
He speaks about David: David reassures him in his frail humanity… You recall he is wrestling with some issues… We all have sinned and come short of his glory…
“What is man, that though are mindful of him, and the son of that though visits him”
“God is a holy God” He is pure and righteous in all of his ways… But David, has been included in the sacred texts… David gives him hope, because David messed up… But God redeemed him… Most of us are intimately aware of makes us jacked up..
We all have sinned and fallen short of his glory… With your mouth you worship him, but with your deeds it tells a different story…Some of us don’t deserve to be sitting in a sanctuary of righteousness, but thank God for his forgiveness.
God is a God of mercy that will give you another chance… David said “Create in me a clean heart!”
Psalm 23 (NIV)
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Sermon Title: “He never gave one, but I’m going to label it:” “I shall recover all!”
