POWER OF HIS BLOOD WITHIN

The Lord Is My Fortress

 Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.

 Then you will say to the Lord,

“You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you.” The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases. He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall. You won't need to worry about dangers at night or arrows during the day. And you won't fear diseases that strike in the dark or sudden disaster at noon. You will not be harmed, though thousands fall all around you. And with your own eyes you will see the punishment of the wicked. The Lord Most High is your fortress. Run to him for safety, and no terrible disasters will strike you or your home. God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will carry you in their arms, and you won't hurt your feet on the stones. You will overpower the strongest lions and the deadliest snakes. The Lord says, “If you love me and truly know who I am, I will rescue you and keep you safe. When you are in trouble, call out to me. I will answer and be there to protect and honor you. You will live a long life and see my saving power.” [Psalm91]

The Lord says Ye Are Not Your Own         

Know ye not that…ye are not your own?

1 Corinthians 6:19

There is no such thing as a private life — “a world within the world” — for a man or woman who is brought into fellowship with Jesus Christ’s sufferings. God breaks up the private life of His saints and makes it a thoroughfare for the world on the one hand and for Himself on the other. No human being can stand that unless he is identified with Jesus Christ. We are not sanctified for ourselves; we are called into the fellowship of the Gospel, and things happen that have nothing to do with us. God is drawing us into fellowship with Himself. Let Him have His way; if you do not, instead of being of the slightest use to God in His Redemptive work in the world, you will be a hindrance and a clog. 

 The first thing God does with us is to get us based on rugged Reality, until we no longer care what becomes of us individually, as long as He gets His way for His Redemption. Why shouldn’t we go through heartbreaks? Through those doorways, God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us fall and collapse at the first grip of pain; we sit down on the threshold of God’s purpose and die away of self-pity, and all so-called Christian sympathy will aid us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son and says, “Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.” If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
