| In the 23 Psalm, David takes us through a process of walking with God daily. He starts off by stating that, "The Lord is My Shepard." The Lord is the Great Shepard, He leads us in our everyday lives. He preceeds us in every apsect of our life. He is always before us and guiding us. As his sheep, we can be rest assuredly in the fact the that He is ordering our steps. As long as we can see at least "the hem of His garment," we are not too far gone. The Holy Spirits directs David to end the 23 Psalm by stating that, "Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." So now not only is God the Great Shepard, He also has made sure that even when His sheep go astray that there is a back up plan. When we loose sight of the Shepard we can be sure that His goodness and mercy will push us back to Him. Now the very last statement in teh 23 Psalm says, "And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." How do we dwell in the house of the Lord forever, it is quite simple. The house of the Lord is not a natural building, but we are literally the houses of God. But the question is how do we "DWELL" in the house of the Lord. In other words, how do we abide in the presence of God living in a natural world. If you allow God to speak to you through His word, you will begin to see the manifestation of Psalm 23:6, abiding in the presence of God forever. The first step is to allow God to be our Great Shepard. By letting God be the Shepard, He becomes the front door to the house. Anything that comes into the "house" has to be checked by HIm first. There is so much revelation in that. Next, know that Goodness and Mercy-double thick back wall- are following you all the days of your life. So now you have a front wall/door and a double-thick back wall, what's left. To make a complet house you need two side walls, a roof and a foundation. The Bible says that God is love and that love never fails and it casts out all fear. God's love is the surrounding walls and roof of the "house." God's love encompasses us daily keeping out fear and doutb. Let love have it's perfect work in you. Also God is a three dimensional being, any walls left out or damaged are easily replaced by one of the three dimensions of God. And above all build your house on the rock, the rock of Jesus Christ so that no devil in hell can prevail against you. Once you recieve this word into your spirit, you will become a new creation and you will walk into a new dimension in God |
