Speak His Word and Dwell Safely

Psalm 40:10
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.

It is a good thing to give thanks to the lord, to praise his name and bring him glory. You will be persecuted for this.
As tempting as it is some will claim their woes are a result of persecution. We often bring problems upon ourselves then give Satan credit for it. That is not a good thing.

When you speak the word of God, and people are being set free and delivered, and crying out to God as a result of HIS word, you will be attacked by the one who is trying to shut the mouth of God's mouthpieces. If you are speaking/teaching/preaching/writing/praying/prophesying God's word, you are HIS mouthpiece and HIS word never returns to HIM void. It always accomplishes that which it set out to do. Don't think it is a strange thing when attacks mount against you. This is nothing unusual.

Fiery darts will be aimed right at you, but if you know the lover of your soul, you will also know that you can dwell safely with HIM. He is protecting you, and shielding you from harm.

The righteous are bold as a lion, the wicked flee when no one is pursuing them. Why would the wicked flee when no one is pursuing them? Paranoia? Fear?

Be bold to speak HIS word. His word is TRUTH. Speak it in righteous boldness. It is an offense to some, but it has the power to set people free. It pierces the heart.

Don't run from the enemy. Resist him and he will flee from you. The word of God says so. Fear not what man can do to you. Trust God. Take HIM at HIS word.

DWELL with HIM, don't just visit.(as my friend and sister, Sue pointed out.) There is safety. There is liberation. All that you need is in Him.

Psalm 33:5
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Psalm 33:22
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

Our understanding will fall short without the wisdom of God.

Trust in the lord with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in ALL your ways and HE will direct your paths.

God is not mocked. He searches our hearts and knows the intents. Turn your heart to HIM. Allow Him to touch it deeply and find a habitation.
