4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD
VERY BRIEFLY WITH IF I COULD GET A BAPTIST AMEN A METHODIST NOD AND A SANTIFIED CHURCH HALLEJUAH
I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT
HOW TO DEAL WITH THE VALLEYS OF LIFE
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THE 23RD NUMBERS OF PSALMS IS A RARE AND PRICELESS JEWEL WITHIN THE TREASURY OF GOD`S ENTERNAL WORD
TO SOME IT`S KNOWN AS A HANKERCHEIF
BECAUSE IT HAS AWAY OF DRYING TEARS FROM TEAR STAIN EYES
TO OTHERS IT`S KNOWN AS AN IN HOUSE SURGEN
BECAUSE IT HAS AWAY OF MENDING A BROKEN HEART
BUT IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS A HEAD LIFTER
BECAUSE IT HAS AWAY OF MAKING YOU LIFT YOUR EYES UNTO THE HILLS FROM WHENCE COMETH YOUR HELP
AND YOU DO KNOW YOUR HELP COMES FROM THE LORD
DAVID –DAVID WRITES THIS PSALM IN HIS YONDER YEARS
FOR HE REALIZE THAT HE HAS MORE DAYS BEHIND HIM THAN BEFORE HIM
AND HE TAKE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE AND GIVES GOD SOME PRAISE
BECAUSE IN VERSE 1-3 DAVID TALKS ABOUT THE LORD
BUT WHEN YOU GET THE 4TH VERSE HE TALKS TO THE LORD
AND AS RESULT OF THE TALK THAT DAVID HAS WITH THE LORD
HE GIVES US SOME BIBICAL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE VALLEYS OF LIFE
IN OTHER WORDS
DAVID LETS US KNOW
THAT THE LORD CAN BE OUR SHEPHERD
WE CAN EVEN BE GRAZING IN THE GREEN PASTURES
AND POSITION BY THE STILL WATERS
AND OUR SOUL CAN ALREADY BE RESTORED
AND WE CAN ACTUALLY BE IN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND YET STILL HAVE TO ENCOUNTER A VALLEY
BECAUSE IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD NONE OF US IS EXEMPT FROM THE VALLEYS OF LIFE
BECAUSE THERE IS A VALLEY SOMEWHERE WITH EITHER YOUR NAME OR MY NAME ON IT
AND WHEN EVER THOSE VALLEYS SHOWS UP
WE HAVE A CHOICE TO EITHER
ACT LIKE THE VALLEY DOSE`NT EXIST
OR EXCEPT THE REALITY OF THE VALLEY
BECAUSE VALLEYS OR ORDERED BY THE LORD
IN OTHER WORDS
THE LORD SELECT OUR VALLEYS
BUT NOT ONLY DOES HE SELECT OUR VALLEYS
BUT THE LORD ALSO CONTROL OUR VALLEYS
BECAUSE THERE ARE SOMETHINGS WE WILL NEVER LEARN IN LIFE UNTIL
WE GET IN THE VALLEY
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE
AND TELL YOU WHY
BECAUSE VALLEYS WILL SHOW YOU WHO YOU`RE FRIENDS ARE
VALLEYS WILL HAVE YOU DOWN ON YOUR KNEES TALKING TO THE LORD INSTEAD OF ABOUT THE LORD
VALLEYS WILL LET YOU KNOW
WHY THE LORD IS A PRESENT HELP IN A TIME OF TROUBLE
AND IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE VALLEYS OF LIFE
WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE REALITY OF THE VALLEY
***********************************
WELL NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE REALITY OF THE VALLEY
BUT DAVID ALSO GIVES US SOME BIBICAL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW WE SHOULD RESPOND IN THE VALLEY
HE SAYS WE HAVE TO WALK
I KNOW A LOT OF US LIKE TO RUN THROUGH THE VALLEY
BUT DAVID REVEAL TO US WE HAVE TO WALK
BECAUSE THE LORD WANT US TO SEE AND LEARN SOMETHINGS IN THE VALLEY OF LIFE
BUT NOT ONLY SHOULD WE WALK
BUT HE ALSO REVAL TO US WE SHOULD NOT FEAR
BECAUSE FEAR WILL KEEP US
FROM WALKING AND SEEING WHAT THE LORD WANTS US TO LEARN FROM OUR VALLEY EXPERIENCE
AND YOU DO KNOW THAT FAITH AND FEAR CAN`T STAY IN THE SAME HOUSE
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THERE ARE 365 FEAR NOTS IN THE BIBLE
THERE ARE 365 DAYS IN A YEAR
AND EACH NEW DAY THE LORD ALLOWS US TO SEE
WE OUGHT TO GRAB HOLD TO ONE OF THOSE FEAR NOT
AND WALK BY FAIH AND NOT BY SIGHT
AND HOLD ON TO GOD`S UNCHANGING HAND
BUT NOT ONLY DOES DAVID TELLS US TO WALK AND FEAR NOT
BUT HE ALSO REVEALS TO US THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE VALLEY
FOR HE SAYS
YEA THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY
AND IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT
YEA THOUGH I WALK THROUGH IS A PREPOSITION
AND THE LATE DR A LOUIS PATTERSON
SAY A PREPOSITION IS A PREPOSSESION
WHICH MEANS THAT WHERE WE ARE AT NOW
IS NOT WHERE WE WILL ALWAYS BE
THAT WHY SOME FOLKS WILL TRY TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR VALLEY END WITH A PERIOD
BUT I STOP BY TO LET YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE PERIOD WITH A COMMA
WHICH SUGGEST THAT I`M NOT PARKING BUT I`M PAUSING
AND THE REASON I`M PAUSING
IS TO TAKE A PRAISE BREAK
TO GIVE GOD THE PRAISE HE TRULY DESERVE.
BECAUSE THE TRUTH OF MATTER IS
THAT IT`S SOMEBODY HERE ON THE SAME ROW YOU OR SITTING ON
AND JUST MIGHT SITTING IN THE SAME SEAT YOU ARE SITTING IN
AND YOU HAVE A PERIOD AT THE END OF YOUR VALLEY
AND YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT WITH A COMMA
AND REDO
IN OTHER WORDS YOU NEED TO REDO WHAT YOU WAS DOING BEFORE THE VALLEY SHOWED UP
AND GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
*********************************
WELL NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE REALITY OF THE VALLEY
AND RESPOND BY WALKING AND FEAR NOT AND PLACING A COMMA AT THE END OF OUR VALLEY
BUT DAVID ALSO REVEALS TO THE RESOURCES WE HAVE IN THE VALLEY
FOR HE SAYS THOU ART WITH ME
AND IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHO THOU IS
WE EITHER HAVE TO BACK UP OR GO FORWARD IN THE 23RD NUMBERS OF PSALMS
BECAUSE GOD DOSE`NT OWE US NO EXPLAINATION
BUT THE WORD OF GOD WILL ALWAYS GIVE US A REVELATION
CAUSE WHEN YOU GO FORWARD TO VERSE 5
DAVID SAYS
THOU PREPARETH A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES
THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL
MY CUP OVER FLOWETH
AND WHEN BACK IT UP TO VERSE 3 HE SAID
HE---- RESTORETH MY SOUL
HE--- LEADTH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSSNESS FOR HIS NAME SAKE
WHEN YOU BACK UP TO VERSE 2
DAVID SAYS
HE ---MAKETH ME LIE DOWN IN THE GREEN PASTURES
HE LEADETH ME BESIDES THE STILL WATER
BUT WHEN YOU GO TO VERSE 1
DAVID REVEALS TO US WHO –HE AND THOU REALLY IS
FOR DAVID SAYS (THE LORD)
THE ONE THAT GOT MORE BOOKS IN HIS NAME THAN ANY LIBIARY CAN CONTAIN
THE ONE WHO WAS BORN AS A HOPELESS BABY
BUT SPOKE SPINNING WORLDS INTO EXISTENCE
AND AS AN INFANT HE FRIGHTEN KING HEROD
AS A BOY HE CONFUSED THE SCHOLARS
AS THE SON OF MAN
MADE THE STORM OF THE SEA OF GALILLE GO TO SLEEP
BY SAYING PEACE BE STILL
THE LORD
THE ONE WHO
SAILED IN SOMEBODY ELES`S BOAT
ATE AT SOMEBODY ELSES HOUSE
RODE SOMEBODY ELSES ANIMAL
THE LORD
THE WHO HEAL ALL MANNER OF DISEASES
AND DID`NT CHARGE A PENNY FOR HIS SERVICE
THE LORD
A WAY OUT OF NO WAY
A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
A LIGHT IN A DARK SITUATION
