Hi, Janice here. We're ringing with Him. Thank you for being with me today. I am
still on Psalm 91 and you're there with me. So we are just going to review very
quickly verse 1 and it says, Those who live in the shelter of the Most High, so
we know this is talking about being seated in heavenly places with Him, but
not just being seated with Him. It says in the Strongs that we sit down as a
judge. In Passion Translation in the notes brings out that we sit as royalty
as kings under Him. So we are sitting as a judge. We are judging under Him in
heavenly places what the enemy is doing in our sphere and we are saying no and
we are bringing a halt to His activity in our sphere of authority. So that's
where we sit. That's where we live from. But while we are doing that, it says
those who live in a shelter of the Most High will find rest and we find rest
because while we are doing that, we are also hanging out with God. We are
lingering with Him. We are spending time with Him. We are abiding with Him. We are
spending the night. We are just with Him and it's in that with Him, it's in that
with Him that we become like Him. It's in that with Him that we gaze upon Him, that
we catch His heartbeat and that we begin to see how He functions and how He moves
and how He governs and then we can govern well under Him. And it says that
we sit, we rest in the shadow and we talked about that, that shadow being like
an umbrella or a bubble around us that coincides with a word. In Genesis
chapter 1, where the Holy Spirit hovered or brooded and inseminated, those two
words, they mean very much the same thing. This one in Psalm 91 foreshadowed. It
means to vibrate. It means to flutter. It means to be speaking over us and what
He's doing is depositing and releasing as He flutters, as He speaks, as He vibrates,
as Holy Spirit broods. All these things are being deposited within us that
He wrote in our books and everything that He sees us to be and has called us
to be. And then we have His grace and grace is just the ability to be who He's
called us to be and do what He's called us to do. So He not only gives us the
will, but He gives us the ability to be and to do. But it all comes out of Psalm
91 where we live and dwell with Him seated in heavenly places, resting,
lingering, spending time with Him and then allowing Him to fill us and
inseminate us with these things that are of Him that He's placed within us. So
there's a no-lose situation here. It's win-win. We can't do anything unless we
absolutely choose to. We can't do anything but be victorious. We're gonna
talk about this today. And in doing that, I have this. It's pretty old-school. I've
had the ones you go across the forehead and you stick in your ear. They all need
batteries. This probably does too, but it's not as expensive. I've gone
through too many of the other ones. So what is this? Thermometer! I would like
you to take your peace temperature today. How are you on your peace? How are you?
The Word says, the kingdom of God is righteousness. You have that because
you're covered in the blood of Jesus. You are made new. You are a new creation. In
Him, when a father looks at you, he sees Jesus. He sees Jesus's blood. And you are
walking wholeheartedly in obedience with Him, to Him, because you love Him. And
that's where obedience comes from. So righteousness, kingdom of God is peace.
And out of that flows our joy. So how's your peace? I'm asking you that
because it's something I've had to deal with this week. So I know I'm not the
only one on the block going through this stuff. And I just want to encourage
you, if your eyes are not on Him, if your eyes are what's going on around us, if
you're taking in all the stuff the media is putting out. And I'm not even just
talking about the national media, the mainline media. I'm even talking about
alternative media because I was taking in some of that and I'd even gotten down
to just reading headlines and what I was following.
The Holy Spirit had to speak to me, Father spoke to me, Sunday or Monday, and he's like,
no more.
Eyes on me only, gaze on me only.
And so I'm sharing that with you.
There's some adjustments coming.
There's some things happening.
Get your gaze on him.
Have your eyes and your focus on him only.
And if you are thinking now, well, I need that to pray, because that was kind of like,
oh God, I, you know, I could pray.
You have Holy Spirit, and if God's leading you to pull back, pull back.
Holy Spirit will tell you what to pray, and you need to be worrying and praying in the
Spirit anyway.
And then you can be, you can release the Word over these situations.
But gaze and eyes on him.
That is what's going to hold you firm.
It says, Word that is our rock.
Jesus is our rock.
It's our eyes on him that holds us firm.
What did he do?
How did he get through the torture?
And you know, before he even had the torture of having, being whipped with those horrific
whips that just ripped his flesh out of his body.
So much so that he was completely disfigured, and he was not even recognizable as a human,
as a man.
Before that ever happened, he drank the cup.
Remember he drank the cup in the Garden of Gethsemane, Garden of Gethsemane.
And he said, Oh Father, let this cup pass before me.
Do I have to take this cup?
In the Spirit there was a cup being given to him, and even then, he began taking in
our pain, our emotional pain.
And already, before he ever got to that whipping post that brought the stripes that healed
our body, he already was taking in the pain emotionally and everything else.
And he was hours and hours and hours in this, of carrying all these things for us, so that
we could be free.
And how did he do it?
It says, For the joy set before him.
He had to keep his eyes on the Father.
He had to keep his eyes on the end result, the gift.
He was giving the Father of his blood being poured out, that we could be one with He and
the Father.
That's where he had to keep his eyes.
That's what he got.
That's what got him through.
And that is what we need to do now.
We need to take our eyes.
We need to take our hearts.
We need to take our emotions.
We have to have everything so centered on Him in what the Word says.
So I'm just going to read a couple of scriptures to start off with.
These are ones that God gave me earlier this week.
He's like, let's go take a little walk through the Word.
And so he had me write these down because he wanted me to review them and not knowing
that I was actually going to give this to you at that time.
This is in Isaiah chapter 30, verses 20 and 21.
And this is from the Passion Translation.
It says, Even though the Lord may allow you to go through a season of hardship and difficulty,
He Himself, He Himself will be there with you.
For your eyes will see Him constantly as your teacher.
Well, what is Holy Spirit called?
He's our teacher.
He's our guide.
He's our counselor.
He's our comforter.
He Himself, and this was written by Isaiah, He Himself is here with us as we're walking
out this season going on around us.
We can be of the world.
We can be here, but we don't have to be impacted by it because we can walk in His presence.
We can walk in heavenly places.
When you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear His voice.
Why?
What does John say?
The sheep hear my voice.
They know my voice and not the voice of a stranger.
You know His voice.
You will hear His voice and He will lead you and guide you.
And it says in verse 21, you will hear His voice behind you saying, this is the right
path.
Walk in it.
That's why you need to be focused on Him, hearing Him.
The world's not going to tell you the path to walk on.
The world's not going to give you the decisions and the changes you need to make in direction,
but the Holy Spirit will.
He will lead you.
He will guide you.
He has not left you.
He's got you and He will be your source of walking in peace.
In Isaiah 30 verse 18.
This is really good because sometimes, you know, we're like, God, this is taking so long.
And He gives us dreams, He gives us visions, whether it's personally or for the nation.
Lord Jesus!
Well, let's put this in context.
You know what?
When Noah was told all this stuff was going to happen, it took him 120 years to build
that ark.
And he had to build it with giants.
I mean, let's face it, there were giants then.
The Ruffileme and the Nephileme and all of them were there, the Amalekites, all the giants.
You know, we got 10, 12, 15 feet giants, plus all the people that were horribly against
Him and ridiculing Him and mocking Him and who knows what else they were doing.
And all their genetics, they weren't even pure, their genetics weren't even pure, so
they had all this demonic stuff flowing through them, all this iniquity flowing through them
120 years!
He had to walk and keep his eyes fixed on, this is what God's told me to do.
He said there's going to be a flood, I don't know what that is, we've never seen rain,
but He said there's going to be a flood, there's going to be water, I'm going to destroy the
earth and you're going to build an ark and you're going to be in this boat.
That's a long time, 120 years.
And here we're just, if you're just looking at the COVID stuff, we're not even quite two
years yet and the pressure's intense because there's a lot going on, not just in the natural
but in the spirit realm.
But it says here in Isaiah 30 verse 18, and this is out of the message translation, God's
not finished, He's waiting around to be gracious to you.
And then there's some words in there because I didn't copy it all down, sorry, but it goes
on to say God takes the time to do everything right, everything.
Whatever He's promised you, whatever He's told you, He's not a man that He would lie.
He will fulfill His word to you and He is taking His time to do it right.
He has so many things He needs to line up, different situations, different people, He's
putting all the pieces together, He's got His massive many-layered chessboard.
I've seen this in the spirit, it's quite fascinating.
It had four levels and each level was a chessboard and it was kind of transparent, you could
see through it, it's amazing.
And He would be moving pieces around but then He'd be looking down through all these levels.
So it's not just in a natural level He's moving things around, He's moving things in the second
heaven, He's moving things in the third heaven, He's moving all these pieces around and putting
things in line for you because He loves you and He says He's wanting to be gracious to
you.
He takes the time to do everything right.
Those who wait around for Him are the lucky ones and you know this is gonna not really
probably excite you, but in the midst of waiting, oh, you're growing character, we're
growing character, we are growing trust, we are increasing in trust, we are learning to
release control and go, okay God, I can't do this, there's nothing I can do but trust
you.
He says in Matthew, He says, all I ask of you is to believe, that's what He's asking
for you right now, just believe me, keep your eyes on me, believe me, believe I've got you,
believe I love you.
In Isaiah 30, chapter 30, verse 15, and this is a Passion Translation, it says, in quietness
and trust you will be made strong.
The Message Translation says, your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence
on me.
We're not gonna get peace, we're not gonna get strength by settling down in dependence
upon us.
We already know that doesn't do it.
We cannot navigate at this time, we have to listen to Him and our peace will come as we
settle down, settle down, sit down, linger, linger, linger, settle down, spend the night
just like Psalm 91, verse 1, with Him, with our eyes, with our gaze, with our ears open
to what He's overshadowing us with.
That is where we need to live as never before.
That is where you will find your peace, that is where you will find your joy, that is where
you will find your strength.
That is where you will find revelation of how to walk this time. That is where He will
unveil His plans to you. That is where He will instruct you. Allow Him to do that.
Take your eyes off of everything else and put them on Him. Isaiah 26 verse 3, Passion Translation.
It says, Perfect absolute peace surrounds those whose imaginations, that's all the stuff going
on up here, it's your eyes, it's what you're thinking about, are consumed with you. What are
you consumed with? When the stuff hits you in the face, do you take that in and begin to think on it
and just go over and over it? Or do you throw it down and go, my God says,
and do you replace it with a higher level truth, which is what He is telling you and what He has
spoken to you and what the Word says. Perfect absolute peace surrounds those whose imaginations
are consumed with you. They confidently trust in you. I don't think I have, no, I'm not going to
share any more of that. I have some other scriptures, but I'm not going to share those
because I have some good stuff out of Psalm 91 that we haven't covered yet that I'm going to
speak into today. And there's two verses, Psalm 91 11 and Psalm 91 12 that we're going to quickly
look at. And then I'm going to give you an example of very practically how I have physically seen
this work in my life and physically felt, and I have seen angels come to rescue me.
And in both cases, it was a life and death situation. So I'm going to share this with
you because you need to know God is ever, ever, ever looking out for you. He has not left you.
He says He will never leave you or forsake you. He is always working on your behalf.
And if nothing else, you know why I know that? Psalm 91, verse one, I mean, verse 14, the Lord
says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they
call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. He'll be with us in trouble. It doesn't
mean we're not going to have trouble, but he'll be there with us and he's going to get us to the
other side. I will be with them in trouble and I will rescue and honor them. It's not just a matter
of us and plucking us up like we talked about the other day and pulling us out and putting us down.
He also will honor us and I will reward them with long life and give them my salvation.
That literally means Yahweh. So in other words, you will enjoy, I will give them the joy of the
fullness of Jesus. So in Psalm 91, verse 11, I'm going to pull this out of the King James,
because I had to look all this stuff up, you know, in Strong's, in Wilson's and whatnot. It
says, he will give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. So angels here,
this is so cool, because a lot of times we just think of, oh, angels and their wings and,
you know, dressed in white and aren't they wonderful and they're worshiping before the
throne. Well, these are angels that are specially angels that are dispatched. They are sent as
representatives from the throne room. They have special commissioning from God, like a sheriff
gives a deputy. When that deputy goes into a situation, that deputy represents the law,
represents the authority and carries the full authority or represents the sheriff. That deputy
carries the full authority of the sheriff as if the sheriff was there. So these angels are coming in
on the scene on your behalf, representing God in all his authority. They will act on your behalf.
They are ambassadors sent by him. And that word charge actually is a very, very, very strong
authoritative word. It's not just a direction, but there's a strength of authoritative and an
urgency behind it. Go now and do this. Go now as for me and take care of this situation.
They are being appointed. They are being commanded to go. So it's not a
lackadaisical thing. It's not like, oh here we go. It is fully given full
authority. It is a command. It is directive. But there's such a strength
behind it and there's also an urgency. So when he gives these representatives,
these angels charge there to go immediately, immediately on your behalf
to take care of whatever situation, to war on your behalf, to protect you, to
rescue you, to strengthen you, whatever is needed at that time. And
they are there to keep you. It says, I will send them to keep you. Give them
charge to keep you in all your ways. That means to hedge around as with
thorns. So you know that kind of relates also back to that shield that we have. So
they are shielding us with those thorns. The enemy, when he wants to come
at us, he's gonna hit that shield. He's gonna hit that hedge of thorns and it's
like he's falling into a cactus or a porcupine. It's gonna be painful and they
are putting that hedge and that shield around us to guard us. But very
interestingly enough, in this as well, as they are keeping us, as they are hedging
us with this, they are watching us very intently. It's not like watching several
of us or everything going on. It is a very focused, intentional watching just
on you. Their gaze doesn't go anywhere else. They are focused and intentionally
watching you, watching every move, watching everything going on so they can
protect you and keep you and come at whatever is coming against you, whatever
is necessary for your success and for your walk with the Lord. You are well
protected. He has sent his angels to guard you and to protect you. You are not
only alone, not alone because Holy Spirit is with you always and Jesus is your
Prince of Peace and he will be able to allow his peace to flow through you as
long as you keep your eyes on him. But he is surrounding you with his angelic army
that are at his disposal to keep you and guard you and protect you. And it says
in verse 12, they will bear thee up in their hands lest you dash your foot
against your stone. Now this is a really interesting scripture and this bearing
means almost to a point of taking our place because this is the
same word used like when they were talking about sacrifice. Like the goat
will bear upon him all their iniquities or they will bear away or take away sin.
So like that's in Leviticus chapter 16. So it has that connotation in there that
this is a bearing. So not only are they going to bear, they're going to lift up
but they're gonna take upon them. They're gonna lift us up, lift us out and take
upon them. Anything coming at against us is gonna hit them first. They're gonna
see to it that they're taking upon them and that we are protected in that moment.
And it says that we will not dash or strike our foot against a stone. But that
word dash means to strike but it also means to stumble. So in other words
they're gonna pick us up, they're gonna take in the onslaught or whatever is
coming at us, whatever obstacle is there. They're gonna pick us up, they're gonna
lift us up. We are not going to stumble in our walk and we will not dash our
foot. That word foot here actually means our walk. So we are not going to stumble
in our walk by hitting a stone. And the stone actually means to
build or construct. It's talking about an edifice. So it's like the enemy, he likes
to build things. He likes to build structures. He sets things up in the
spirit realm. He sets obstacles in our way. He likes to put things to
impede our progress. So God has sent these angels for us to bear us up, to
lift us up, if there's anything coming at us.
or against us, they will shield us. They will take that hit themselves and they will also make sure
we are lifted up that our walk is not impeded by any kind of structure, any kind of obstacle,
any kind of building, anything the enemy has set in our way, they will see to it that we are lifted
up and over or moved around it, but the enemy cannot impede what God has for us. That's what
these verses are saying. And I just wanted to share that with you because it is truly amazing.
It's not just this lightweight thing of, oh, I'm not going to hit my foot on stone. It is so much
more. God has us so well covered. He is there for you. He is setting your path. Walk with him,
spend time with him, walk from heavenly places. Each morning as you do your Psalm 91
and you read through that and then you take communion, ask him, what is my lineup for today?
Remember, I suggested to you that you do this each day, that this would be an activation that
you can walk in every day of your life. Psalm 91, communion, and then release the angelic host
that God has ordained to be in your life, to ordain to be working on your behalf. Release
them. Say, put my feet on the path for today. Read my book. Read my book. Release that into my life.
Line up my feet with that path and bring it forth. Go get everything I need to fulfill this today
and break down every obstacle in my way that would impede my progress. And I will walk in
the fullness of what he has for me today. That's what we are called to do. Now, I'm going to share
a perfect, um, I think I'm just going to share one example because we're already at 26, almost 27
minutes. Um, this was like back in 1992. I had a nine-month-old in my arms and I had a, um,
um, let's see, she was nine, uh, nine months. So then I had a three-year-old and a five-year-old
and I had the five-year-old holding on to the bottom of my shirt and I had my, I had the, um,
nine-month-old on my hip holding her and then I had the hand of my, um, my three-year-old
and we were walking across the parking lot. We were going to go into Dairy Queen and have some
ice cream and as we started, we got out of the car and we're walking across the parking lot,
the three of us, and you know, I checked to make sure the kids were good and we're moving and then
all of a sudden I felt this, it felt like a wall that I could feel it. I could physically feel it
and it was like I, it hit me like I was being pushed back by, and this was like seven feet tall,
pushed back. I felt the force, I felt the strength, I felt the hardness of the body
and I was, and the children, we were all pushed back to where we took like three massive steps
that were pushing us backward and I physically felt it and I was shoved backward and a split
second later a car went through, speeding through the parking lot and we would have been killed.
I physically felt that it was an angel. It was my angel and I, and actually that was real quick,
so I'll share this one too. This last, this year in, um, January, um, I was walking across the
parking lot by myself. I had just come out of the car. I'm walking and I got hit by a car
and it should have killed me and my angel, once again, he took the brunt of this thing
and I did end up, you know, end up going on top of the trunk of a car.
I was hit from the side. It backed up. I was walking and wham, it hit me and I
kind of went up and the angel took the most of it. I did, I, um, did have pain afterwards. Someone
prayed for me. God healed me. It took care of it. My angel took, um, my angel was there. He took
the most of it and I just am like, thank you Father for my angels and I hope they don't ask
to be reassigned because I have things like this happen and time after time after time,
God has protected me and he is there and he will protect you. He will protect you and show you
where you need to make adjustments. Just like he showed me this week. He said, no more news.
word. Keep your gaze on my word. You've got to focus in. You've got to be so
purposeful and just focus in. So that is an example of His leading and guiding
me. He will do the same for you. Just sit with Him. Listen to Him. Start your day
with Psalm 91 verse 1. And if you can't read the whole chapter, start your day
with communion and speaking that life and everything that communion gives us
over you. Step into that covenant every day of this is what you've given me. I
can walk in wholeness. You have bought my wholeness. Spirit, soul, and body. Mind be
whole. Body be whole. Emotions be whole. And I'm washed by the blood of Jesus. Step
into that covenant every day as you take communion. And then ask Him to
orchestrate your day. Ask Him to order your steps. Ask Him to show you whatever
adjustments you need to make. And then just trust Him and let it go. Just trust
Him. Just give it to Him. Know He's got you. Know He's got your day. But keep your
eyes on Him. Keep your eyes on Him. When anything else comes, cast it down. Remove
it and just say, No, I'm not going there. This is what my Father tells me. No, I'm
not going there. This is what the Word says. And walk in that. Purpose to walk
in that. Just like Jesus did for the joy set before Him. So for whatever that
word is that God's given you, or whatever word is you're holding on to
from the Bible, for the joy of that word, for that word set before you that you
are keeping your eyes on, you will come through strong. You will grow stronger.
You will endure. You will find peace. You will walk in victory. Because that's
your right. That's your portion. Righteousness, peace, and joy. He has it
all for you. And I just encourage you to just, it's like lifting, it's like
lifting weights, you know, lifting. Oh, yeah, it's it just is a little sore. I
was doing some exercises yesterday. I'm a little sore today. That's okay. It
might be a little sore. And you might have to work it a little bit to put
these things into practice. But the more you do it, then the stronger you get.
And then He might give you more stuff to just push that resistance a little more.
But you are gaining strength. You are gaining wisdom. You are gaining
understanding. In all these things, it makes you stronger. In all these things,
you get to know Him to a greater degree and a greater depth. And in all these
things, then you can be an encouragement and lift other people up and put your
hand out and say, Come on, this is how you do it. This is how you do it. And you
will be able to be a blessing to everyone around you, because you'll be
able to give forth what He's given to you. So Father, I just lift everyone up
that's listening to this. I thank you. I thank you that we can take our
temperature for peace. And we can then ask you to show us things if, if it's
not what it should be that we can ask you to give us areas we need to adjust
that we can walk aligned with your peace. So we can hear your voice and we can
flow with you. Because you desire us to have peace at all times. You desire us
to walk out of your joy at all times. And your joy is our strength. And your
peace allows us to know when we are right on in line with what you're calling
us to do. Because your peace is a great measurement and a great temperature to
take to let us know how we're right here, we're right in the center, just keep
going. So Father, I release peace to everyone today. I just release your
adjustments wherever needed Holy Spirit that you would show them open their eyes,
open up their hearts to any adjustments that need to be made, and just lead those
in areas. I take authority over all assignments of fear and anxiety. I
command you to go now in Jesus name. I put a firewall between that and any
individual watching this in Jesus name. And I release life and I release the
light of God. I release his love to you now in Jesus name.
And I asked that there
I would be anointing on them now to hear and to perceive what you would have them
do, and to hear and perceive what you have for them personally, individually, in
their families, and in their sphere of influence, and how you desire them to
walk it out. Thank you for your goodness. You are good. You are absolutely good, and
you are faithful, and you are not a man that you would lie, but you are forever
faithful, and your mercy is new every morning, and your kindness overtakes us
and pursuits us. We thank you, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Okay, blessings to you guys.
