This prophetic word is based on Psalm 16. This is one of my favorite Psalms and it is perfect for someone currently going through a difficult time, hardships, spiritual attacks, terminal illness. This one is perfect in these situations
If you fall into this category then this one is for you.
Psalm 16
Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
My favorite verse is the last one, verse 11, which tells you that no matter what is going on in your life as long as you get into the presence of God you will be full of joy. You can tell that David was not in a good season. You can tell things were going really badly for him but he learnt that there is a place where he can go to find joy, peace and pleasure in knowing that no matter what happens he gets to live with God forever.
Yes! You can be joyful in the midst of the warfare.
Joyful in the midst of your illness
Joyful even in uncertain times.
Because God’s presence changes the entire atmosphere. As long as He is there, everything around you melts away and all you can do is look at Him and recognize that everything else happening is insignificant compared to Him. Not only that but His presence also reminds you that you have Him, forever, and I promise you that is the most important thing.
And, to top it off He will start to show you the path which you should take to keep on living. How good is that?
Blessings!
Amen!
It’s amazing how in the midst of all the challenges my heart is at rest. The joy and peace is overwhelming. All because I have learnt over time that as long as keep dwelling in His presence Jehovah has my back.
