Discuss Psalms 23 Page 7

Great song brother Steven. Praised be the Lord for ever and ever!

Hi Charls,

As Christian, start your prayer by confessing your sins to God, and repent. Bow down to bring honor, praises, and glory to God - our Lord Jesus. Then, cast out evil spirit, evil thoughts in Jesus' name!!! And proceed to Psalms 23.

Try Psalms 23:4 Context

1(A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

My Shepherd

My shepherd is the Lord, my King.

I'll never lack for any thing.

The greenest pastures are my bed,

for I have followed where He led.

He leads to waters calm, and still

where it is safe to drink my fill.

His blessings onto me are poured.

My very soul is thus restored.

His righteousness he teaches me.

There is no better way to be.

If risk of death dare to appear,

I'll not be struck with any fear.

My Lord is with me all the way.

His rod and staff keep wolves at bay.

The table where He'd have me dine

has seats for enemies of mine.

His oil anoints me, cool and mild,

thus proving that I am His child.

With bounty, He has blessed me, so

that soon, my cup may overflow.

His goodness occupies my mind.

His mercy follows close behind.

With Him, forever, I shall live,

the greatest gift that He can give.

You were nearly there :) Try Psalm 22:3. Though this refers to Israel yet it too is our experience, when we "offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." ( Hebrews 13:15).

I have been taught that God inhabits our praise. As I get references tp Psalms 23:3 yet I can not find a translation that says that. Is there such a scripture?

Just some scripture stating that Jesus and the Father are two. John 8:

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of TWO men is true.

18 I am one that bear WITNESS of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth WITNESS of me.

Good call mild Bill from rick

Mike, "death is unreal" - Death is very real, in fact, there is a second death. Revelation 20:14 The first death is separation from the body/Earth, and the second is eternal separation from God and to the eternal torment. "The wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23 Very real, and nobody else in the scriptures had more to say about hell and damnation than Jesus.

Several years ago I had a wonderful revelation regarding the part of this psalm that was quite unexpected and never forgotten. I think I may have been struggling with some type of illness looking for inspiration. The valley of the SHADOW of death is ultimately harmless because it's just fear.....just another mist that must be seen through to understand it's NOTHINGNESS. There is no SUBSTANCE in a SHADOW so what the psalmist is actually saying is that death is unreal as is disease (dis-ease), sin, poverty (living a Godless life), etc. These are nothing more than false concepts which is what Jesus tried to teach. If he hadn't understood these false narratives as being false he wouldn't have been able to do the wonderous works that he achieved. GOD IS ALL.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makethme to lie down in green pastures:he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul:he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea,Though I walk through the valley of the shallow of death, I will fear no evil: for thouare with me;they rod and staff they comfort me. Thou prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runners over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the lord for ever. God is all I will ever need, yes he fight for me and comfort me when fear try to take my joy away. Trust him, glorify my God, he will not lead you a stray. God is

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Love this bible, god is so good to me, i am so thankfuil. i am so blessed.thank you for having this on the comuter, so i can read god,s word daily, god bless......

Considering the topic of suicide, I concur with Linda.

We do not have all of the answers on this side of Heaven.

Let us not judge each other. God alone is our judge:

He knows far beyond what we could even imagine.

Thank you for the encouraging words! Blessings to you!

Jesus said "I AM the Bread of Life".

The Word of God, is bread.

Jesus told satan out in the desert on a 40 day fast: IT IS WRITTEN..........

Satan lost every argument.

We need to be so full of the Bible, that satan doesn't have a chance to deceive us.

Two scriptures work well together:

1 Perfect Love (Jesus) Casts out...Fear (big demon)

2 Fear hath Torments (he has other demons that torment us.

Jesus gives us the Authority to use His Name, and His Word: to bind the demons,

Cast them into outer darkness, forbid their return;

To set the captives free, to set at liberty those who are bruised and to heal them.

Tiny testimony: one time when I was a baby Christian, I saw myself in a vision of what Jesus saw in me.

"A big table was laid out with fabulous food: milk, meat, pizza, barbecue...". I had my elbows up and was dragging food over to my plate, eating like I was starved. To my right I hear this most wonderful laughing. I look up a sec to see other people's eyes bugged out. I slump down with a chicken leg in my fist and I look to see who's laughing: it was Jesus! He was leaning back in His throne laughing with me; not at me."

Jesus wants us to have a healthy appetite for His Word; the Bible. Ask and The Holy Spirit will Teach you EVERYTHING.

Earlier that day an older Christian saw something I was reading and he shouted at me loud, "you cannot read college level Bible!!!! Get back into Bible Milk". He stalked off and left me feeling really stupid.

( I had been reading how the Body of Christ is to work together.)

There is a reason to choose the Holy Spirit to be your Teacher; he helps us Pray; He tells us how to war and win.

If this encourages you to wade in deep with Jesus, the you are the one Jesus was looking at. You can have as much as you desire. He rejoices in your efforts. We are HIS BODY. If you draw close to Him, He will draw close to you.

Best of all pleasure you can have, is to hear Jesus's laugh. He's real.

The Holy Ghost spoke the words "still waters" while in prayer. I know that God wants me to rest in Him, he has a great plan for my life. First, I must taste of His goodness and know that He is God!

23 - But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeker such to worship Him.

24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Lk. 10:20 - Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in Heaven.

Lk. 10:21 - In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in they sight.

Psalms 23 is all about our loving Father who created us even before the foundation of the world . I wore a pendant around my neck with the 23 psalm engraved on it while I was serving in Vietnam. Just like all the other words of God ,inspired by the Holy Ghost , according to Romans 12 : verse 2 ,we are called to prove God's Good , Acceptable , and perfect will , which is his word . To prove means to bring forth evidence , without a shadow of doubt by living it , by speaking it and can only be done by believing it ,that is by faith . The first 2 words in Hebrew 11: 1 says , Now Faith . Websters dictionary defines now as the time immediately preceding the present . My point is this , we can wear psalms 23 on a pendant around our necks and read it every day , however to live it out with the NOW kind of faith, proves God's complete word . Amen !

The LORD is indeed our All in All, our Sufficiency so that we lack nothing. Thank you for sharing those very interesting thoughts from the Psalm - worthy of much contemplation & praise to our Blessed Father.

Humanity is the Woman that is gonna birth the Children which is us sinners we need a new heart and a new spirit which is the H.G that is gona lead us, Thats y the new birth is so important we are gona birth a spritual Child which is the Child of Promise, Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as LIL Child impling a heavenly birth thats y the sower of that heavenly seed wants to sow his precious seed in our hearts initiating a BABY Christ in us. my lil Children of whom i travail in birth till CHRIST IS FORMED IN YOU. Thats how he will rule ALL NATIONS he is gona be born in humanity . Jesus said the field was the WORLD where that good seed will be sown, thats y MANY of the prophets saw the world in travail and birth PAINS, WE ARE ALL GONA BIRTH baby Christ thats y he always refered to himself as THE SON OF MAN our fruit unto God is a baby Christ . That is gona rule all nations. Even the Gentiles are gonna birth this Child Thats y Isaiah said thou ( the H.G BABE ) shall suck dry THE BREASTS OF THE GENTILES . Jesus said that which is BORN of the Spirit is SPIRIT thats the H.G. babe that is gonna be born in US That new born babe desiring the sincere milk of the word Paul mentions, There is a baby Christ in your future and its God that is gonna do it, I will make a new covenant etc its all GOD, as DAVID said its the lord's doings and is precious in our eyes.

His word is his Seed he said b/c i have spoken these words (his Seed ) sorrows have filled your hearts sorrows imply a spritual pregnancy the Child is the H.G. the Child of Promise, Unless ya receive the KINGDOM OF GOD AS A LIL Child, a BIRTH.

Oh...so maybe we should rewrite the Book of Revelation and DELETE that scripture? So you can satisfy your desire to be right.

Revelation 22:18-19

18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19. And if any man shall TAKE AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the BOOK OF LIFE, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Comment by Mishael: if people would READ the Book of Revelation,

They might not post comments that are NOT word for word, what is stated in the Bible. (Word of God)

One scripture does not cancel out other scriptures.

2 Timothy 3:16

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

/ i read my bible every morning. love this, so much. thank you .

Lets have the Bible interpret:

Psalms

Chapter 23

1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

( Isaiah 40:11)

( John 10:11)

( 1 Peter 2:25)-For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

( Rev 7:15-17)-For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

( Psalm 19:7-9)-the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

( Psalm 3:3-8)

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

( Revelation 21:6,7)-

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

( Luke 6:36,37)

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Psalm 23

I just read a Comment about Psalm 23 that I had never heard before; using the Hebrew explanation. I think you might enjoy reading it. 1517.ORG

Suicide is murder but,whether that individual is sent to hell or not is totally up to GOD.The Father is very intelligent and knows the heart of one who commits suicide, as he knows the hearts of all of us. GOD takes into account of everything that lead the individual to self murder. His thoughts and ways are nowhere near ours, therefore we can't know what will happen to anyone who takes their own life. Our Father is righteous and fair and takes everything into consideration and I believe will judge accordingly

If you are obedience to the living word you will see what god is saying he will do allthing for you

I love reading psalms 23. Could you interpret the meaning of this chapter?

Thank you and praise be to God!

If they die in their sins, they will go to hell.

The person is depressed, fearful, tormented in mind and emotions; they do not know if God even cares about them.

No one likes to talk about this. I do. That person is oppressed by demons that are sent, to take that person to hell. Satan is the author of confusion. Depression demons usually have Death in tow. Only a praying Christian can STOP IT. Our prayers can drive out any demon that raises its head To challenge us. You bind that demons works and cast it into outer darkness in Jesus Name! And you ASK GOD to release the angels of heaven to encircle that person with light and peace. Quote psalm 91 and 51. Every day. Don't stop.

Suicide dot Org is for military but it's easily remembered; to go to to find resources.

Me: write the persons name on sticky notes and give them to praying grandmothers at several churches. Praying grandmoms look like big ole drill sergeants, spiritually. Never disdain elderly church mothers. Hug them!

They know how to release some fire from heaven. Praise God!

Since it is not addressed much in Church; Google search: 'suicide Bible'. Find a Christian church that has this teaching. No frills, no personalities: just Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you!!!

Note to all Churches and Pastors: TEACH people that the devil doesn't wear a red costume and say Boo. He hates God and especially people whom God loves. Even people with both arms covered in need marks! TEACH spiritual warfare! Even churched kids get in trouble and need a prayer that could knock asteroids off course.

Put away your notebook of old trusty sermons, and get hooked into the Holy Spirit who delivers fresh manna and Meat, every meal. Skip some meals and go sit in an actual closet with the Holy Spirit. Ask for NEW FOOD. Pray for your sheep! Even those out wandering off into Apostacy! Ask for fresh Anointing. Groan till you get it.

Stand up for Jesus. Kick in Satans teeth.

Mishael
