It’s Party Time

Psalms 91:14 - Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

I really love the message translation which says

“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God,

“I’ll get you out of any trouble.

I’ll give you the best of care

if you’ll only get to know and trust me.

Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times;

I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.”

We are all familiar with all types of parties.

Growing up I remember

House Party –where everyone came to your home.

Dinner Party – Guests are usually invited for a formal meal.

Garden Party – Held outdoors, often in the afternoon.

Pool Party – Held at a swimming pool, just for fun.

Dance Party

Birthday Party

Anniversary Party

Graduation Party

Retirement Party Engagement Party

Here’s one some of will know

Cocktail Party – Which focuses on drinks and socializing.

And here’s one some of you are not old enough to know about and that’s a rent parties. A rent party is when people would come to your house and pay to get in, where there would be food, drinks, and music. Everybody that is there is there to help you pay your rent. (I have given somebody an idea for the month lol).

But then there is the party where everything is about you, everyone is there to celebrate you. It’s all about your your honor? A celebration where your name was on every heart and every eye turns when you entered the room.

Well in Psalm 91:14–15 is God throwing that kind of party. It’s not with balloons and a cake, but it’s with rescue, protection, presence, deliverance, and honor.

God is saying, “Because you love Me, I’m about to show out for you.”

Tell your neighbor It’s party time.

Let’s look at God’s guest list. The Guest List Starts With Love

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord…

God responds to love. This is not religion or ritual, but this is relationship. When your love for God is genuine, it puts you on Heaven’s VIP list.

You don’t need to be perfect. Just love God.

You don’t need a major credit card. You just need to love Him back.

It doesn’t matter what your credit score is. Just genuinely love God.

Why pastor? It’s because this is the kind of love that makes God move on your behalf.

So not only will God throw you a party, but then God will set you up a personal security detail.

He says “I will rescue him; I will protect him…”

God becomes your security system. He’s not just watching over you, but He’s also intervening on your behalf.

Why is that Pastor? Because we know everybody that shows up at the party, doesn’t always act right.

Some people will come to the party, just to mess things up.

Some people will come to the party already drunk.

Some people will come to the party just to start a fight.

So when trouble shows up, God shows out.

When enemies raise up, God stands in between.

Let me put it in Bible language.

Isaiah 59:19 says When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”

This verse speaks of God’s power to defend His people.

When evil, or opposition show up like a flood rushing through your life. God raises a “standard” (a banner, a signal, or force) to stop it. This is a message of divine protection and intervention in times of intense spiritual attack.

In other words, this is a promise of God’s protection and action when spiritual warfare intensifies.

So, you are not just surviving, but you are covered.

But then there is a Divine Connection: A Call and Response

“He will call on me, and I will answer him…”

When you call, God doesn’t screen your prayers.

He doesn’t look down at the caller ID and says ohhh no it’s Oldie again, it’s Jones, and Spies again.

When we pray, God doesn’t hit “ignore.”

God never screens our prayers, and roll His eyes at our name popping up again.

He never gets tired of us like we get tired of each other.

Nooooo, He picks up every time because your voice moves Heaven.

Your prayers shake the gates of Heaven.

Your cry echoes in the throne room of God.

Your voice activates divine power.

It is your prayers that set the angels in motion.

The same way a parent rushes when their child cries, God says, “I’m listening. I’m here. I’ve got you.”
