For many of us, the statement "I will fear no evil" introduces our on going battle between common dread and complete deliverance; "Lord I believe, Help thou my unbelief". Join us today as we examine how we get from faith to fearless, the dance between divine revelation and personal experience, and how we live out practically what our soul knows personally. This word, could very well change the trajectory and quality of your life. HIS WORD is powerful like that.

Living without fear is not a goal, but a byproduct.... Psalms 23 teaches us that fearlessness is a byproduct of revelation. A byproduct of faith in what has been revealed. A byproduct of confidence in the person and nature of God. And is also a matter of experience, stacking up one on top of the other of God's faithfulness in our life. In the same way we run from lust, immorality, love of the world, and evil associations....we resist and reject the idea of fear, because in the end, fear is nothing more than an emotional accusation against the character of God himself.

Before we get to the way we walk and the paths we take, we must first make doubly sure that we are following - not leading. His sheep hear, know and follow their shepherds voice, and another they will not follow. Not themselves or another person. And the paths of God are always, ALWAYS righteous paths. Paths that require the denial of self, and a surrender to Lordship. Paths that are first walked by the Lord and us as we follow him.Divine paths, specific paths, narrow paths and paths that resonate with the Spirit of God within us.

We battle not against flesh and blood. We battle against the Father of Lies, and today's message will work to bring clarity to the Enemy's devices as he strives to lead many astray and unto destruction. May we be wise to the tool that Satan uses to distract, diminish, and defame the Bride of Christ-let's "Wrestle to Win" in our fight against the Devil.

Many do not realize that it is his voice on their Damascus Road that knocks you to the ground, that it is his fish that has swallowed you on your way to Joppa, and it is HIS donkey that will not walk you in front of the Angel of God with his sword drawn. May we may humble ourselves before the one who loves us enough to break in on our life uninvited, to keep us from destruction.

The world provides a constant supply of drought and barrenness, opposition, danger, loss and weariness for those who journey through it; but for those who have THE shepherd.... we are by no means exempt from any or all of the above, but we can expect and SHALL experience green pastures, still waters and the restorative power of the resurrected Christ at just the right time.

David says, "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures"; emphasizing the word "maketh" = causes, forces, leads, teaches, trains. For many believers, the problem lies in their thinking that green pastures are a destination they arrive at by choice or chance, instead of it being a result of submission to and the following of the great shepherd of their soul.

The obtaining of things is not the point of the phrase "I shall not want", but the emphasis should be on God who is the provider, why and how he provides, and the REST and HEALING that comes when we enter into and live in absolute trust.

This chapter is one of the most well known chapters in all of the word of God, but sadly it is relegated to something akin to poetry, when it is more accurately a path of power; God's power - available to all who know and follow him as their shepherd. This power is manifested in many ways and in many forms like provision, rest, guidance and protection; but if followed, truly followed it is a fountain of healing, mind-body-soul-and spirit!
