If you call upon the Jesus in times of trouble He will answer you with deliverance!

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation. Psalm 91:14-16 NKJV

For many people Psalm 91 is a favorite portion of scripture. It reveals the blessing and protection of abiding in the presence of God. I find comfort in the reason God promises to protect us even when people all around us suffer calamity and devastation.

Why does God say setting our love upon Him is the reason He protects us while thousands of people fall around us? Jesus created us to be loved by Him as only He can love us. Jesus created us to love Him as only we can love Him!

Jesus promises to set on high people who know His name. In warfare high ground is a place of safety. It offers a tactical advantage. We will be lifted on High into the Lord’s presence. Living in the presence of Jesus offers us an advantage nothing else can.

I am comforted by the reason God promises to deliver us and set us on high. It is because we know His name. In ancient times a person’s name described his or her character. Names were carefully chosen to disclose lineage and heritage.

Jesus has the power to answer us when we call out to Him. Jesus promises to be with us and deliver us when we are in danger. Only Jesus can keep such a promise. Jesus can keep His promises because His name is Faithful and True!

God the Father honors people who honor Jesus. Will you honor Jesus today? Will you honor Him in the way you treat other people? Will you honor Jesus in the way you live?

God promises to honor you if you set your love upon Jesus. He promises to honor you with long life. Can God keep that promise? I do not know if your years will be long upon the Earth. I do know the time you spend in the presence of the Jesus will never end!

Jesus will bestow honor upon you by using you to bring other people out of the bondage of unbelief into the promised land of abundant living with God!

Have you set your love upon the Lord? Do you know His name? Have you received His salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ? If not call out to the Lord today. Incline your hearth to faith in Jesus Christ today!

Let Jesus deliver you. Let Jesus set you on high. Allow Jesus to honor you and satisfy you with long life. Jesus will reveal the power of His salvation to you and through you!

Only Almighty God can love you today and forever!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

If you call upon the Jesus in times of trouble He will answer you with deliverance!
