Word of Truth Lies Demise

What goes on in your head?
Do you think about what God has said?
His Word is True, and He is with you,
So there’s no reason to worry or dread.

Don’t allow what discouragement said,
To worm in your head and to spread,
God’s Word is True, it is what you CAN DO,
So meditate on what He said instead.

Don’t let thoughts of evil persist,
With the Word of Almighty resist,
What He has spoken is True, it will bring you through,
And His Promise enlist to exist.

Josh 1:8-9
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

And in His law he meditates day and night.

Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

GIVE IT LOVE IT LIVE IT

In order to fulfill you dream - it would seem - that you have to pay the price, and sacrifice. You must make time to do what you love even if it doesn’t pay, and do what pays even if you don’t love it. Few people have the luxury of providing a living by pursuing their passion. So “We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do.” ~ The Great Debaters (2007)

You may not “love” your job but that doesn’t mean that you can’t choose to enjoy it. Because the joy issues from the inside, it is a fruit of the Spirit. If you will be conscious of it and thereby open the spout, it will begin to flow out. Then in joy you can enjoy the job you employ. If you have to do it you might as well choose to enjoy it. Your joy is dependent upon you and not what you do.

Then when what you must do is done, you can have some fun. You’ve paid the price and now you can pursue your passion. And pursue it you must for the greater life requires that you fulfill your desire. You do what you love because it’s your gift, something that you’ve been given to give, and when you do what you love, is when you love to live. You’ve gotta pay to play, and maybe someday, someone will come and offer you pay to play. But that’s the exception and not the rule and the expectation of the fool. Because your gift was given for you to give, so you can’t sell it just to make a living. Give with motives right and true, and do what you love, because it’s what you love to do.

"He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever."

10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. 12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 13 while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, 14 and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Pain2Reign

Shall I share my pleasure, and not my pain,
and hide emotions, in vain contain?

Misery becomes me, my heart is rent,
My hope is shallow, my joy is spent,
My eyes wallow, my mind is grey,
The sun rises - to my dismay.

I feel abandoned, yet not alone,
For in agony, my stomach groans,
I cry out, yet no one hears,
Who will come, and kill my fears?

The answer lies, in the One who died,
Who loved me so, He heard my cries,
He took my torment, to His own demise,
And bore my Hell, then did arise.

My sorrow’s shattered, affliction crushed,
Lies are hushed, and turned to dust,
I won’t listen, it’s not my woe,
Mines’ been taken, and burns below.

My cares I cast, I seek His face,
Peace embrace, receive His grace,
His yoke is easy, His burden light,
And by His might, I’ll win this fight.
I know with God, my future’s bright.

Isa 53:4-5
4 Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. [Matt 8:17.]

Help you cope, renew your hope,
Make you laugh, when you feel sad,
And let pain go, when you’ve been mad.

Something silly, something true,
Something happy, to get you through.
So take one, make one, sing a song,
Good fun, for everyone, all day long!

3 The God of my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
My stronghold and my refuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.
4 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

Till I Die

There's so many things ta do,
how will I ever get through?
I'll pray everyday and be bold to obey.
I'll not to get stuck in the grey of dismay.

LORD HELP ME!

Help me not drown in things that abound.
To do Your will, as You reveal, one step at a time Your plan to fulfill.
And not to worry or get in a hurry, or distracted by things that make my life blurry.
But simply trust and do what I must, never to quit or to rust or to bust.

Release Your peace Your joy increase, and help me bless the whole world before my decease.

WINDOWS DIVINE

The human mind is amazing, its potential is grand,
but even the wisest, still don’t understand –
the future, the Spirit, the depths of the heart,
the heights of our God - or things He imparts.

So how can you know - what to do and to be?
Speak in the Spirit, and then you will see –
Beyond understanding, and abilities of man -
Revelation from heaven - the supernatural plan.

I don’t like being limited to the natural realm, so I “pray in the spirit.” Supernatural strength, necessary revelations, and divine impartations are available but they must be “downloaded.” Prayer is the means by which we receive from the realm of the spirit and “praying in tongues” or “praying in the spirit” is how we are able to receive things beyond our own comprehension. It’s like downloading a program to your computer. Most people don’t understand computer language or logic but it doesn’t matter as long as it works. You just download, and then it’s interpreted through “windows” into something that you can understand. And there’s tremendous potential available but only if you “tap into it.”

And so it is in the realm of the Spirit, the way you receive is by asking. But how can you ask for things that are beyond your understanding? You pray in the spirit and the Spirit helps you ask for things greater than you can think of. So pray in the spirit and open up Windows Divine, and then you’ll get the revelation, interpretation and power in operation - as you go.

Pray in the spirit and be bold to obey,
It will show as you go, so get on your way.
Just do what you know, then you know what to do,
Supernatural speaking – it’s God’s gift to you!

If you don’t know how speak supernaturally and open Windows Divine but would like to, then contact me and I’ll give you more information on the subject

1 Cor 2:9-16
9 But as it is written:

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For "who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
NKJV

1 Cor 14:2
2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
NKJV

Rom 8:26-27
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

1 Cor 14:13-15
13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.
NKJV

1 Cor 14:39-40
39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

Acts 19:1-7
19 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"

So they said to him,"We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

3 And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?"

So they said,"Into John's baptism."

4 Then Paul said,"John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
NKJV

Acts 10:44-46
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

You may be lonely but you’re not alone. So don’t buy the lie and give in to the grim. “But I feel so alone!” and that may the fact but the truth is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

The facts you can change but truth you can not.

If you’re feeling lonely because of your present circumstances you may not be able to change the situation right away but you can change how you feel today. Because how you feel is greatly determined what you focus on.

If you focus on the facts you will reinforce them and they will “feel” more real. And you can’t deny em but you don’t have to supply em. In other words, don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself and marinate your own mind in misery. And I KNOW that it’s easier said then done but what’s the alternative? If you give in to grief you’ll get no relief.

So what you must do is focus on the Truth. Meditate, and marinate your mind in something good. Choose to think on the things that are truly real and you’ll be able to change how you feel. Look at what’s good and not what’s bad and then you won’t feel so sad. And it will work with just good old good thoughts but the best thing you can do is think on “the Truth.”

God’s Word is Truth and has the power to change your mind forever. It’s the lasting solution for your minds pollution. It can cleanse out old thoughts that ail and create a mindset to prevail - a new perspective, a new reality – a new vitality. The Word of God is alive, and full of faith, hope and love. When you believe it, and receive it - it infuses Life into your life. It’s the source of peace and fount of joy when it’s thoughts you do employ.

SO – what does it say about you being alone?

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

NKJV

Rom 8:31-39
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:

"For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NKJV

So even when you’re feeling lonely YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And I know you heart hurts but it’s time for it to be healed. And the healing is in the Word. If you will take the Truth and medicate your mind with that, instead of continuing to marinate it in misery then things will begin to change. It will take dedication and discipline to get your mind right but you must do it in order to get your life right. And I’m here to help you so you’re not alone in this dimension either. And I believe that God will also lead you and connect you with other people if you will take courage, step out and go where you have it in your heart to go. You can meet people here or there or anywhere, or reconnect with those you already know, but your mind and heart have to be open at least a little bitty bit. Because your wounds can become walls that shut you out from the rest of the world. And the walls of your personal prison can only be breached by you, when you put out a hand to take the hand of the One, and the ones that are reaching out to you.

For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,

ARISE & GO

If you just sit there it’s nothing new, you’re uninspired by the same old view.

You think you’re waiting for God, but He’s waiting for you.

So go ahead and pray and say, “God help me know do Your will today.”

Now get on your way, His voice obey!

The grace won’t come until you go, and if you don’t get started you’ll never know.

So take some steps and then you’ll see, the things that lie ahead for thee.

Throwin Out the Baby with the Bathwater

Now usually you don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater, but when the baby gets big and still won’t get outta the tub then sometimes you gotta throw out the whole mess and start from scratch. The old water won’t work anymore because it’s dirty with residue from those who have gone before. Not that there was anything wrong with it - in it’s time, but now what’s left behind is old, cold and moldy. And that’s how I felt, until God seemed to say, “throw out the baby with the bath water” and “you’re the baby!” So what worked before, won’t work no more! I need to do – something new!

And it’s scary because I’ve always patterned my ministry after someone who has gone before. And it was alright for a while, but now but now I’m older and need to get out on my own. Not that I don’t respect my elders in the faith, because I do and am thankful for them. But just because I love my parents doesn’t mean that I should hide at home all my life to stay safe in their shadow.

So it’s a new frontier and there is no map. All I can do is pray, go day by day and let God show me the way. It’s very tempting to quit or try go back. But I’ve already gone too far! And furthermore the Lord is leading me forward. The going seems to be getting more difficult and I know that the only way I’m going to make it is to shed all the baggage and start from scratch. Going forth only with what’s absolutely necessary for salvation and survival.

And so it begins, the Ministry for Misfits. But misfits why? Because! That’s why. Because I can hear their cry, and if they don’t get help, then they may die. And so I have to try - and I must do – something new. I don’t know exactly what it will look like or how or how it will be, just one step at a time - and then we will see.

Matt 9:9-17
9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and followed Him.

10 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

14 Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?"

15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
NKJV

Luke 5:27-39
27 After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." 28 So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

29 Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. 30 And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

31 Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

33 Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?"

34 And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days."

36 Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"

Ground and Pound

Oppression often comes to say,
“I don’t want do it today!”
But you must resist,
Or become its prey.

Cast down dismay,
It’s thoughts to slay,
Arise and say,
“I’LL DO IT ANYWAY!”

Infections of weakness and legions of lies will try to arise to bring your demise. So you must fight, and persist to resist, till they cease and desist.

Don’t just accept, whatever thought comes into your head, because if you do, your dreams ‘ill be dead. But guard your heart and mind with all diligence for as a man “thinketh in his heart, so is he” and out of his heart “spring the issues of life.”

Ground and pound – weak willed incantations and infectious imaginations. Lift up your chin and declare “I will win!” and “I’ll never give in, to oppression again!”

2 Cor 10:5
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
KJV

Ps 18:37-38
37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
NKJV

Isa 54:14-15
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
NKJV

Isa 41:10-13
10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

11 "Behold, all those who were incensed against you
Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.
12 You shall seek them and not find them —
Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.
13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'
NKJV

The-Lord-Will-Provide

The Lord promised to provide but you must obey. In other words, “pray everyday and do what I say.” Pray everyday and be bold to obey! “Today, if you will hear His voice do not harden your hearts”

He said that He would provide but He never said how and He didn’t say that it would be easy either. It’s simple to see that in order to receive the provision the sheep must of necessity follow the Shepherd. And “be diligent to obey his voice” And that’s where the challenge comes in for the flesh. When it comes to the provision it’s not “free choice” but OBEY MY VOICE. You can’t just do whatever, whenever and wherever and expect God to bless the work of your hands. No, He will bless the work of you hands when you obey His voice because then the work of your hands is the work of His hands.

People like to say, “God will provide” and it’s true but the qualification is obedience. God provided for Abraham on the mountain but what if Abraham decided not to get up and go that day? It definitely wasn’t easy and He didn’t know or understand beforehand what God was going to do. But he did know that God is faithful, and was willing to do whatever he needed to do. Obedience even to the extent of sacrificing his own son. Can you even imagine? But he knew that God was greater even than death and that God would fulfill His promise. “By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.” (Heb 11:17-19)

And so he went. And ultimate obedience resulted in ultimate provision. Abraham was willing to give his son but God said, “No I will provide My own Son and He will be for your sacrifice.” And because you obeyed my voice you have received THE PROVISION.

The Provision is the Provider within. And the ability was provided by The Sacrifice. Now you have the opportunity to be one with the Almighty. The Shepherd and Provider dwells within. And “He shall supply all your need.” Now it’s your responsibility to PRAY AND OBEY. And it’s usually not easy so don’t expect it to be so you won’t be disappointed. But it makes sense because why would He need to strengthen you with mighty power to do His will if it was going to be easy? You don’t need mighty power to sit on the couch and wait for a check to come in. But you do need strength to get up off you butt and obey. And not just doing and being busy about whatever, whenever and wherever and thinking that because you’re in motion now God will provide. But you need to be in the right place at the right time doing what you believe that He wants you to. And He didn’t promise that you would like it, understand it, or be comfortable with it. If you’ve waked with God for very long then you already know this. You don’t just wake up one day and it suddenly gets easier. No, usually it gets harder but you get stronger and become more of an overcomer.

I’m sorry to say but I’ve been waiting, wishing and praying for twenty years for it to get easier it and it hasn’t yet. So I’m waiting no longer but focusing on getting stronger. And the stronger I get the more I can do and I’ve learned that obedience is always the way to get the breakthrough. It’s called the fight of faith and it’s a fight to obey. Not just one day or one time, but to pray everyday and be bold to obey. And there is no “grey” for this is the way, you must be diligent to DO what God has to say.

In Him you abide, He shall provide,
He strengthens you, so you CAN DO,
What He’s put in your heart,
NOW you must follow through.

Phil 4:13 …19
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. …And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

1 Tim 5:8
8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
NKJV
Eph 2:19
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
NKJV

Heb 3:6-4:16
6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

"Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, 'They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.'
11 So I swore in My wrath,
'They shall not enter My rest.'"

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:

"Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

"So I swore in My wrath,
'They shall not enter My rest,'"

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works"; 5 and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest."

6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said:

"Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Deut 30:8-14…19-20
8 And you will again obey the voice of the Lord and do all His commandments which I command you today. 9 The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, 10 if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

…19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."

You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

And it will be established for you;
