Train your mind to believe God on the integrity of His word

I suspect that many of us read the scriptures and sometimes overlook the simplicity of the gospel and miss the relevance in our lives. In 2013 God began to deal with me to read Psalm 91 from a different mindset than I had before. Psalm 91 is one those passage of scriptures that we read, and it sounds good but how do I apply it to my life. What I was led to do was to read it from a first-person standpoint. He had me read it as if it was written just for me. Five years later, I can truly say with conviction that I live a Psalm 91 life. I have an expectation that what he says in his word, especially in Psalm 91, will happen in my life.

So, here is my challenge to you.

Train your mind to believe God on the integrity of His word

Confess this scripture as I have presented it below. Do this for 30 days. Let it be the very first thing you do in the morning. As you do this, you will memorize Psalm 91 and the depth of the message within this portion of scripture will become a part of your life. As you are faithful to do this you will begin to realize that you have trained your mind to believe God on the integrity of His word.

I dwell in the shelter of the Most High, I rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely, he has saved me from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He has covered me with his feathers, and under his wings I find refuge; his faithfulness is my shield and rampart. I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand will fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me.

I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. I say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and I make the Most High my dwelling, no harm will overtake me, no disaster will come near my tent. For he will command his angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways; they will lift me up in their hands, so that I will not strike my foot against a stone. I will tread on the lion and the cobra; I will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for I acknowledge his name. I will call on him, and he will answer me; He will be with me in trouble, He will deliver me and honor me. With long life he will satisfy me and show me his salvation.”

I personally end as follows: “and show me Jesus” God’s salvation to mankind was Jesus.

Scriptural Foundation:

God is looking for faith.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
How do we get faith?

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
God wants to confirm his love for you.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

THE END GOAL

I hope this exercise overtime will affirm God’s love for you and help you walk in that kind of faith that develops within you an expectation of all that God has for you and learn to live a Psalm 91 life. The Psalm 91 life is full of peace, safety, comfort, stability, strength, deliverance, protection, abundance, longevity, and most of all salvation.
