Psalm 121
Psalm 121
New King James Version (NKJV)
God the Help of Those Who Seek Him
A Song of Ascents.
121 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.
He shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Are You A Grasshopper?
Numbers 13:30-14:10
New King James Version (NKJV)
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants[a] (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’[b] 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”
10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.

Israel Refuses to Enter Canaan
14 So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4 So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’[b] 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us.

Who's Going To Throw The First Stone?
“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”-John 8:7b.
Election is in the air. Today is Monday October 22nd and in two weeks from tomorrow, on Tuesday November 6th (my son, Kwayne's 22nd birthday), Americans will cast their vote for the next President or the continuation of the current President.
Having been in this country 17+ years now and not able to vote, I still believe I have a say as what happens does affect me while I'm here.
I have a personal experience with the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as I was pursued by a group of Mormons in the nineties before becoming a minister of the gospel. Mormons came to my home and we sat down and compare literature from the book of mormons and they even came to the church I was attending and sat in the front row while service was in full "swing."
I realised how determined these young men were and soon discovered after watching a documentary on cults of the world who the mormons truly were. It took a while but God opened up my eyes to see who the Mormons, Jehovah's witnesses, muslims, seikhs and other religions truly were. Some of which I had already known of course.
I know of a certainty that whoever gets elected may not be influenced by their religion in their day to day decision making process. However I must interject here that as Christians we need to realise that unless the Lord is in the building of the house those who labor, labor in vain.
Our current President has professed he is a Christian and he may have made some questionable decisions as well as carried out some actions that make us cringe at the idea of him professing to be a Christian but you know what? We are not here to judge him. We're supposed to love him (John 13:34-35) and pray for him (James 5:16). After all we don't want to fall into temptation ourselves (Gal.6:1).
Therefore let us rally behind the one who is truly backed by our God because noone is perfect. All Catholics and Protestants, all Charismatics and Evangelicals, all who have a right to vote and know who is the right choice. Go out and make your vote count make your choice be heard and make God pleased. Do the right thing on November 6th. We are Christians by our love for one another and we talk with God about strengthening each other where we're weak. Let us make our God proud by obeying his every command concerning our brothers and sisters. God bless each and everyone. God bless America!

God’s Everlasting Love
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[b] with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A New Dimension In God
It's a new season. Some of God's children have come to realize that they're in this new season but don't know what exactly this means. It's a new level, a new dimension in God. This means new devils to deal with. Also these devils hit harder approach smarter and if one fails against them this can be devastating because these devils know that once you get to this level it means breakthrough to the most fulfilling moment in your walk with God. Therefore their intent is to destroy you, forever.
It's a new dimension so don't be discouraged when you fail. Don't give up. Don't quit. Most of all don't listen to that devil. He knows just when to tempt you to give up or even try to annahialate you by getting you to do the things that will destroy you. Don't listen to them. Cry out to God even if it's from your heart (internally). He will come to your rescue. Then try your best to learn from each mistake. So when faced with this again you will know how to get through it successfully. And most important, never forget that Jesus is with you always (Matthew 28:20). He will not give up on you, never!

Our God Is Faithfull
Lamentations 3:22-23(NKJV)
22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
Intercessory Prayer
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
