REST IN THE SHADOW



Last week on one of the television shows, that was aired from our program, Highway To Heaven, was on the occult. I'm going to tell you somethin'. A lot of the phone calls that have come in and a lot of what's been going on, there has been some heavy, heavy warfare going down. You guys understand warfare? You guys know warfare? How many in this place know street warfare? Have lived it? Dealt with it? How many understand spiritual warfare? Well, I'll tell you somethin', spiritual warfare is a lot heavier! We battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers. Sometimes you don't know where it is coming from; from which direction; except you know it is from the pit of hell. But greater is He that is in you, then he that is in the world. Our Lord reigns, Jesus lives and reigns.

Praise the Lord. The Word of God from Psalm 91, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, shall rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Praise God.

STANDING IN THE SHADOW [650k .wav file, 30 sec]

Gonna lift my hands and sing God's praises
Gonna put the Word upon my mouth
You are my high tower, the rock of my salvation
You are my King, You are my God
You are my King, You are my God

Oh my Lord, You're the strength of my salvation
Lord, whom shall I fear?
When trouble comes I know You'll hide me
Standing in the shadow of the Almighty
Standing in the shadow of the Almighty

Far as the heavens are above the earth
Far as the east is to the west
All my sins have been forgiven
We're standing on the path of righteousness

You and me on the path of righteousness, brother, by the blood of Jesus. Praise God. How many are under the blood? And that's the blood that doesn't wash away. Praise God. There's been blood spilled in the streets in this area. But, I want to tell you, there was blood spilled for all time. It's the blood of Jesus. And He set us free. Hallelujah!

Standing in the shadow of my Jesus
Standing in the shadow of the Almighty
[Oh-oh-oh] Oh my Lord [oh-oh-oh-oh]
When trouble comes I know He'll hide me
[My Jesus] Standing in the shadow

Oh my Lord, You're the strength of my salvation
Lord, whom shall I fear? [praise God]
When trouble comes I know He'll hide me
Standing in the shadow of my Jesus
Standing in the shadow of the Almighty
Standing in the shadow, standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of the Almighty
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Praise God. Praise the Lord. You know, the Word of God says, if you make the Most High your dwelling, even the Lord, who is your refuge, no harm will befall you. I know from experience that He'll protect you. I've had people come to kill me when I've been witnessing. I had a guy from the Hell's Angels come to the Oxnard Arena to kill me. He'd just been busted on his third felony. He said, 'I'm gonna take that long haired dog with me.' He said, 'I'm gonna commit suicide and I'm taking him with me.' He came in and I prayed the sinner's prayer over him. I thought he was gonna sucker punch me, 'cause he stepped back like that and put his arm behind his back. I started binding the spirit of violence and everything on him. And I was praying hard, because he was big. :) My voice raised quite a bit when I saw him step back. I said, 'In the name of Jesus. I praise you, Jesus.' Then he stepped back. He went like that. I said, 'I Praise You, Jesus! Hallelujah! You And Me, God!' :) Praise the Lord! That guy got saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.

He was getting ready to face a judge. But I want to tell you somethin'. The judge he faced right there, forgave him of all his sins. His name is Jesus. This guy looked at me, and stepped back. I said, 'How do you feel now?' He still looked kinda wild. I mean, he'd been doing some drugs, and he'd been drinking. I mean, if he'd sneezed, he'd have set the curtains on fire back there. :)

I looked at him and said, 'How do you feel now?' And he said, 'You stopped me from doing a very heavy thing.' I said, 'Oh, really? Really?' He said, 'Yeah, I came here to do you some harm, dude.' And he came out from behind his back. He wasn't going to sucker punch me. He had a knife behind his back. He was going to cut my guts out. If I had known he had a knife, my footsteps would have been two hundred feet a part. :) Ben Johnson, you wouldn't have had a chance. I'd have out run them all. :) But this guy got saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. And I praise God That He delivers people out of darkness.

My Deepest Love,
