i remember when i was staying with my sister, i told myself that i would get my own place and that i was going to be straight. but here come Satan again trying to tell me that i "would never get my place", "i would be stuck right where im at" , trying to instill FEAR in me. but as i kept working i kept praying and asking the Lord to help me find a place closer to the job so where i could walk to work. so after about a month of praying and working, i got up on my day off and said "Lord i been asking and praying for you to help me find a place, and i been procrastinating, so i am getting up today and will go looking". so after about an hour of driving around, i was going to call it quits since i hadnt found anything. but something told me to go down this next street, and i seen this place that had a for rent sign in it. i called the owner up and asked him about the place its a 2bd/1bth. after a few minutes of talking, and without meeting him... lets just say God is Wonderful!! and to make it even sweeter, i have everything you can think of within a 5 minute walking distance from me; everything from an ace hardware store on the corner, to a supertarget shopping plaza across the street!. there are some apartments inside the shopping plaza, and i get everything they get for half of what there paying! and how do i know God has given me this?, because my place is 3 blocks away from my job... i have been parking my car and walking to work for the past month ;-) now my only problem is making sure my car cranks up every week lol. my people im here to tell you, no matter whats going on outside in the world, if you keep God in YOUR world, you will find strength to take on new challenges, and peace to keep your heart happy and humble. just because you fall, doesnt mean God has abandoned you... he's waiting for you to get back up, so you both can continue walking by faith!! please leave me your comments.

Daily Devotional
In the Secret Place of the Most High
By Dr. Frederick K.C. Price
This week's topic: Angels
You may be afraid of flying on an airplane, of going outside at night, or of any number of other things. Fear is a terrible thing; there is
nothing worse than being afraid. But you do not need to be afraid
because your Heavenly Father has given "His angels charge over you, to
keep you in all your ways."
Psalm 91:1-10 says,
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is
my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Surely He
shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous
pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings
you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall
at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not
come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward
of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even
the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, nor shall
any plague come near your dwelling;
This means sickness and disease will not come near your house, provided you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This passage goes on to say in verse
11: For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
Every one of us has a guardian angel. That angel has been keeping you from getting your head blown off many times over. He will keep you alive when you are a sinner, so that you can be saved. Notice that
verse 11 says you have angels, plural. Not only do you have angels, but
the Bible says God will give His angels charge over you. This means He
commissions them to mount guard over you.
However, the angels cannot do anything for you to the fullest extent possible unless you are willing to believe they are there, count on them and expect them to work for you. You have to dare to believe
it, dare to take God at His Word, and dare to confess it. Once you do
this, amazing things will happen.
Psalm 91:12-13 continues:
In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the
young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
These verses let us know that the devil and every demon are under our feet.
Psalm 91:14-16:
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.
My advice to you, friend, is to get this Word in you. Then confess it, and
dare to make it personal. Say out loud, "I dwell in the secret place of
the Most High, and I abide under the shadow of the Almighty. A thousand
can fall at my side, and 10,000 at my right hand, but no evil shall
come near me, because I dwell in the secret place of the Most High."
It is this kind of faith confession that makes God's Word work and puts the power into operation in your life.
Scripture For The Day: "For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways." - Psalm 91:11(NKJV)
