Psalms 23 is one of the most popularly known and read psalms. Many people often recite it because of the power of God behind the words in this Psalm. This particular portion of the Bible is truly a practical guide to everyday living. There is no better captioned for it than “JEHOVAH IS MY SHEPHERD”

PSALMS 23:1-6, “ Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.

Ezekiel’s proclamation from the Lord in chapter 7 is one of the strongest prophetic messages ever offered. It is a message of sure and certain judgment that is no longer something that is coming—but something that has arrived. This message is something of a summary of the message of ...read more
