Secret Place

2-25-12
This is totally cool! I was dreaming this morning as I normally do and yet I couldn't remember anything. I turned on my FB and saw a video from Graham Cooke and Patricia King on True Identity. Being this is one of the things I value most, I wanted to listen. I was being blessed as I listened, but then I heard Graham talk about a time when he Lord had instructed him to meditate and study Ps. 91 until the Lord instructed him to stop. As soon as he said Psalm 91, I knew that was the verse I was given in my sleep. I was trying to remember it by heart and couldn't quite.


I love how God puts puzzle pieces together to lead, instruct and encourage us. I know this verse is mine to now do the same. I woke up with a specific plan to listen to a message that my dear friend Kath recently preached. Only God knew to speak Ps. 91 to me in my sleep, knowing that I would instead listen to Graham's message. Wow!! I love Him!!! And again He gives me a specific scripture confirming that I will live a long satisfying life. Thank you Lord!!


Here is Psalm 91 personalized as a prayer and declaration over my life:


    1 I (Kelli) WHO [a]dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
    2 I (Kelli) will say of the Lord, YOU are MY (Kelli's) Refuge and Fortress, MY (Kelli's) God; on YOU I (Kelli) lean and rely, and in YOU I (Kelli) [confidently] trust!


    3 For [then] YOU will deliver ME (Kelli) from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.


    4 [Then] YOU will cover ME (Kelli) with YOUR pinions, and under YOUR wings shall I (Kelli) trust and find refuge; YOUR truth and YOUR faithfulness are MY (Kelli's) shield and a buckler.


    5 I (Kelli) shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,


    6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.


    7 A thousand may fall at MY (Kelli's) side, and ten thousand at MY (Kelli's) right hand, but it shall not come near ME (Kelli).


    8 Only a spectator shall I (Kelli) be [Myself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as I (Kelli) witness the reward of the wicked.


    9 Because I (Kelli) have made the Lord MY refuge, and the Most High MY dwelling place,


    10 There shall no evil befall ME (Kelli), nor any plague or calamity come near MY (Kelli's) tent.


    11 For YOU will give YOUR angels [especial] charge over ME (Kelli) to accompany and defend and preserve ME (Kelli) in all MY (Kelli's) ways [of obedience and service].


    12 They shall bear ME (Kelli) up on their hands, lest I (Kelli) dash MY (Kelli's) foot against a stone.


    13 I (Kelli) shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall I (Kelli) trample underfoot.


    14 Because YOU have set YOUR love upon Me (Kelli), therefore will YOU deliver ME (Kelli); YOU will set ME (Kelli) on high, because I (Kelli) know and understand YOUR name [have a personal knowledge of YOUR mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on YOU, knowing YOU will never forsake ME (Kelli), no, never].


    15 I (Kelli) shall call upon YOU, and YOU will answer ME; YOU will be with ME (Kelli) in trouble, YOU will deliver ME (Kelli) and honor ME (Kelli).


    16 With long life will YOU satisfy ME (Kelli) and show ME (Kelli) YOUR salvation.
