What's on the menu?

When you go to a restaurant, you can't just go sit at the table and get what you want. You have to make choices based on what is available. And you find out what is available by looking at the menu. After you've looked at the menu you make your selections and tell the waiter or waitress what you would like. You're waitperson has been assigned to you by the owner of the restaurant or it's manager to serve your needs. They are required to deliver to you what you ask for.  It doesn't matter what you are like, good, bad or ugly, they are assigned to do their job! And you will get what you want as long as it is included in the menu. 
Now, you can make special requests not written in the menu, as long as it is a variation of what is offered. But anything outside of what is written cannot be delivered to you. If you ask your waitress to bring you something written in the menu, they MUST bring it to you. BUT if you ask for snails and snails are not available. Your waitress will not be able to accomodate you not matter how hard you insist. He/She will be waiting for you to ask for something they CAN deliver.

So what is my point?

You, as a Christian, Child of God, Born again Believer have Angels assigned to you! They are servants of God, sent to minister to your needs. And your menu is the Bible, The Word of God, The book of Promises available to  you! But, they are only available to you, if you know what they are! You must read the book to know what is on the menu! And then you have to SPEAK what you want. Your angels will hear your order and work to fulfill your requests. You can't just go sit in the church and expect the Kingdom of God to fall upon you. You have to Speak and Believe. If you do not place an order, your angels will have nothing to do.

There is another menu. That is the menu the world offers.  And the ruler of this world intends to kill, steal and destroy. The world is currently experiencing the effects of a hurricane/storm named Sandy. The weathermen, newscasters and public have been talking for days about how terrible this storm would be. The number one topic in social media and conversation was the devastation this storm would bring. And it did for many. People believed the reports and talked about it. And their words came true. They were placing their orders from the world's menu.

I have a friend who told me that she is surrounded by devastation on all sides, but her little community remained untouched. (He that is in you, is Greater than he that is in the world)

Psalm 91 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. many of you know that I was impressive to pray this numerous times on the day that my son had a terrible car accident. And I prayed verse 11 repeatedly specifically for him. I did not know at the time why this was so important, but God was leading me to claim this protection for him that day.

When storms like Sandy are a threat, I encourage to claim verse 7. Make it your order for the day.

Be Blessed!


Psalm 91

NKJV

91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
 
Choose the menu you will live by and keep your angels busy serving you.
