"For I say to Yahweh, 'He is my refuge, my fortress, and my God, who I commission, that he will take you out of the snares of the bird-hunters and from the terrible plague; and he will cover you with his collar, and you will escape under his wing: his integrity will be a shield and a shield of the hand; the terror that comes at night, and the arrows that fly in the day...(Overstated)… "and God said, I will bring him up, as he has loved me, and I will give him my name, and I will give him high; I will ask him to answer, and I will be with him when they are in trouble, and I will find him and make him a movie. I will satisfy him by making him live a long life and show him my salvation." Psalm 91 verse 1-16
Throughout our lives, an unexpected emergency is approaching us. I know that few people have not experienced this. As the Bible Psalm 91 says, "Salt disease during the night, flesh during the day, and darkness, and destruction that devastates the white wine" are unknown. In that case, in order to make a comeback without destruction, we must always be prepared. Only then can we overcome the crisis and occur without being destroyed.

1. Be close to God
First, we must always keep God, who is stronger than the environment, close to our hearts. God has already loved us and given us the living creatures and is with us by the Holy Spirit. In order for us to bring God close, we need to reserve his place so that he can be present. It is a sin to prevent God from coming to us. If we sin and try to serve God while living an unjust and ugly life, God cannot enter the place together. In James 4:8, it says, "If you are close to God, you will be close to you. Clean your hands, sinners, and those who have both hearts, and make your hearts holy." You must repent of your sins and wash them with blood so that God can come to that pure place. Therefore, you must repent of your sins and wash them with blood and have a posture and determination of your mind for God to come.
In addition, you have to be close to the word and be faithful to praying and serving God. God is in the word. "There is a word in the beginning, and this word is God because it was with God," he said in John 1:1. Jesus is the one who came wearing the body of God, as recorded, even though the word has become flesh and lived among us, and we have seen its glory. Therefore, when you go to meet God, you must be close to the word. Because the Lord is in the word, we cannot stay away from it and close to it. You have to read the word every day. If you read the word in the morning, read the word before you go to bed, and meditate on it, you will be able to get close to God. Moreover, the place where you can talk to God is the word, and if you read the word, meditate, appreciate and praise God in the midst of it, you will be able to get closer to him. Psalm 63:4, verse 8 says, "For this is why I will praise you for my whole life, and you will hear my hand through your name I will praise the Lord with glad lips because my soul will be satisfied, such as eating bone marrow and oily food. But when I remember the Lord in my bed and recite the word of the Lord in small tones at dawn, I will sing joyfully in the shadow of your wings. "My soul follows the Lord closely, and your right hand will hold me." The words will praise him, and the words will meditate on and remember his glory. When we think of God's glory through the words and pray for it, he will be glad and eager. Therefore, don't just pray with words, but read God's words and pray according to them.
Today's Word Psalm 91 is good to memorize. If you memorize the word of God in your mind, you can memorize it in bed and on your way to the car without having to wake up and open the Bible. The Word is alive and athletic, so it is sharper than the two-edged sword, giving you a history of splitting the soul, spirit, joint, and bone marrow. If I memorize the words and admit them with my mouth, the words live and history. You are giving us the power to create. What we are saying is to make and change our environment and destiny by giving us creative abilities.
In Psalm 91 verse 14, there is a saying, "That is, I will take him," and the Hebrew word "love" here is Hashaq. Hashaq refers to being attached to each other. Children are attached to their parents because they cannot live without them and love them. We have told them that God will take care of them, which means that we should be attached to him. Don't trust them in form and consciously, but be attached to God and stick close to him. There are many big and small trials, troubles and hardships in life, and we need a hand to rescue us from them. When many difficulties and trials are approaching, and sadness and pain are approaching, people are often stuck in the wrong place. Because it's frustrating, I am attached to alcohol, attached to pleasure, and try to forget the pain of the world, but the world comes and becomes more addicted and breaks down. When we are attached to God and close to God, he takes us out of test and hardship, and rather makes us beneficial to us through him. With the help of God, the soul is well-suited to all things, strong, and alive, but overflowing.
2. Keep the words in mind and memorize them
Second, we must keep and memorize many words in order to be with God. Confessing the words with your lips reveals creative ability and history happens as the words say. The words have the creative ability to build heaven and earth. Since you have given these words to us, the more we keep the words in our hearts, the more we will fully serve God. Therefore, the journalist of the Psalm said that the words 'will be on my feet and will be on my path.' If there is a word, he is given wisdom and knowledge to cope with crises without falling into the dark. The words are the light. When our lives are in the dark, we cannot know what we fall over. However, if the light is bright, we can avoid obstacles. The words are God's wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence. When these words shine in our hearts, we can overcome them in the dark. It is truly appreciated. Therefore, in Psalm 107 verse 20, he writes, "He sent his words to fix them and get them out of danger." Words have the power to fix us and to touch us in dangerous situations. If you receive these words and respond with your own lips and confess, you will have the ability to heal, fix, and lead. Psalms 119: 50 and 130 write, "This is the consolation of my suffering, because the word of the Lord saved me." "If you open your word, you will see the light and make the dim people realize."
The words are comforting in our hearts, and the words save my dead soul and the words become light to enlighten me. It is God's helping hand, which is desperately needed in our real life. It is very good to keep the words of God in your body to eat and drink, just as we drink water like we eat and take nutritional supplements. Keeping the words is a wall that protects the heart strongly.
He writes in Hebrew 4:12, "The word of God is alive and energetic, sharper than any sword on the left and right, and he pokes and splits the soul, the spirit, the joints, and the bone marrow, and judges the thoughts and the will of the heart." The word of God is a living word that has the power and the ability to live and history. It is as sharp as a sword on the left and right, and it pokes and splits our soul, spirit, joints, and the bone marrow. In Rome 8:35, verse 37 also states, "Who will cut us from the love of Christ? We will be killed for the LORD all day long and treated as if we are to be slaughtered." But we will win in all this because of those who love us. If you meditate on this in your heart and confess it with your mouth rather than just reading it in writing, it will be true as it is in our lives. What I say is history for me. Therefore, we ourselves must make the word of God into words for us, not just in the Bible.
The word for ourselves is that if we accept the word by ourselves, believe it, and confess it with our lips, creative power will appear, and it will become our word that history for ourselves. Today, we do not make the word of God into our word of living and history by locking it in the Bible. We need God's help and the rope that leads us because he wants to help us is the word. It is made possible by the confession through our lips that is not the word that remains in the Bible, but the word that is currently history for us. Therefore, if we keep the word in our hearts and pray according to it, it is that the word of God's power is transformed into the word that lives and history in our lives.
3. Rely on the Holy Spirit to help us
Third, we have to rely on the Holy Spirit who is helping us. We must always be conscious of the Holy Spirit who is with us to help us. Jesus said, "I will not abandon you like an orphan, but I will save you from my father, and he will inject another blessing into you forever." The Holy Spirit is that "other blessing." Jesus is the first blessing and the Holy Spirit is the other. Therefore, Jesus came first and became our blessing and helped us. Bohye is the one who came to us and helped us. After the first blessing, Jesus, passed away, another blessing came to us. He is the Holy Spirit of Bohye. The Holy Spirit has come and is with us today.
John 14:16:18 says, "I will save my father, and he will inject another blessing into you forever, and I will be with you. He is the spirit of truth, and the world does not receive him, but you do not see him or know him. But you know him, he will live with you, and I will come to you without abandoning you like an orphan." Like this, the Holy Spirit is with us. The world does not see or know me, but we know the truth, and we are bringing the Holy Spirit in. Therefore, we must confess with our lips that we always recognize, welcome, and rely on the Holy Spirit. Even if the Holy Spirit is with us, he cannot work unless he recognizes, welcomes, or asks for help.
Corinthians 1:21:22 "He who solidified us in Christ with you and poured oil on us is God, who also gave us the Holy Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee." The Holy Spirit is a guarantee that has become God's child. The Holy Spirit is a guarantee that we deserve the love of the Lord. I am not lonely because the Holy Spirit is with us as a guarantee. Also, in Zechariah 4:6, he says, "This is what Yahweh has said to Zrupbabel: It is not strength, it is not strength, it is only my spirit." What cannot be done with power and power is that the Holy Spirit can help us. So how is the Holy Spirit helping us? The Holy Spirit wants to help us. Therefore, we must pray to the Holy Spirit.
In Rome 8:26, verse 27, he writes, "The Holy Spirit also helps us to be vulnerable, so we do not know what to pray for, but only for us in unspeakable sighs. He who watches the mind knows the Holy Spirit's thoughts. Therefore, recognize, welcome, appreciate, and ask the Holy Spirit to always be conscious of the Holy Spirit. Please ask the Holy Spirit to pray for us that we cannot help ourselves. The Holy Spirit is praying in us in unspeakable lamentations. It is difficult for us to pray alone without being with the Holy Spirit. If we pray for a while, we have nothing to say and are easily exhausted. However, if you pray with the emotion of the Holy Spirit, you will hear magic prayers, and endless prayers come out. Therefore, the more we pray with the Holy Spirit, the happier, the happier we feel. Therefore, if you long for the Holy Spirit to pray for us, the Holy Spirit will help you like this.
4. Hand in hand with people of faith and deal with it
Fourth, it is good to join hands with our comrades in faith and deal with them when we are in trouble. In verse 20 of Matthew 18:19, he writes, "I tell you again that if two of you join forces on the earth to save anything, my father in heaven will achieve it for them. Where two or three people gather in my name, I am among them." If two people come together to save, it means that God will respond, and God will be with us where two or three people gather. As such, God likes to cooperate and unite. In Leviticus 26:8, he also writes, "And the five of you will chase the hundred, and the one million will chase the bay, so that your enemies will fall on the sword before you." The Bible also states that if we cooperate and unite in this way, we can beat our enemies.
They say that the triplet is unbroken. Proverbs 4:9:12 says, "Two men are better than one man, and they will get a good reward for their hard work. If they fall down, one will hold on to the companion, and if they fall alone, there will be anger against those who fall down and have no men to hold on to. It will be warm when two people lie down together, and if one person is warm, how can one person be defeated? If two people go together, the triplet will not be easily broken. If one person falls down, the other person can hold him up and ask him to join us. It will be easier for two people to fight together than for one person to fight. Therefore, God likes us to cooperate and unite. If you are recommended, brothers, to encourage the lazy, to hold on to the weak, to hold on to the weak, and to be patient with everyone for a long time."
There are many weak-minded and many weak-minded, but two people go together to cheer up and give strength to the weak. It is very helpful for a person to encourage them with words. "Be brave. Be strong. You can do it. You can do it. Let's do it." Encouraging each other, they can cheer up together. And those who are weak not only receive such strength, but those who are strong-minded can also support and strengthen their minds. In this way, when two or three people unite together to encourage and give each other courage and strength, they can show great abilities. Therefore, we need to know how great and amazing the power of love that attracts each other is. When we encourage and comfort each other like this, we can achieve far more things than what we originally have.
We can face a crisis in an instant and unknowingly while living in this world. We are embarrassed, anxious, and horrified when something like that happens. We must always have God in our hearts in order to quickly respond to a crisis when we cannot ask for help at such a moment. Even if someone cannot help, because God is in my heart, I can immediately rely on him. If we prepare and live in our minds like this, we can overcome and cope with difficulties. Confess with your lips to always be close to God, always keep the word in your heart, and to change it into a word that is historical in our lives. And when the two of us come together, we must cooperate and unite to move forward. We are not lonely because there is another holy spirit sent by God to help us. The Holy Spirit is helping us to be vulnerable if we recognize, welcome, worship, and rely on the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we can prevail in times of crisis. And those who believe in Jesus well must cooperate and unite. Make sure you belong to the district station when you start attending church. The district station will be accompanied by the district station chief and the district staff will be of great help. When we believe in each other, they live together and if they are scattered, they will collapse. The geese flying tens of thousands of miles across the sea unite together and return to their homeland. I pray that we will unite and cooperate in this way to overcome difficult crises and live a life of victory.
-Prayers-
My beloved father, God,
I confess that suffering and suffering are inevitable in our lives. Every time, we need God's grace to not despair and not destroy. Always accompany the Lord, adore the Word, and let him live a full life of the Holy Spirit. And let prayer and gratitude not leave your lips, and unite fully with those of faith to prevail together.
I pray in the name of Jesus.
Aman!
