I HAVE SET MY LOVE UPON HIM
Psalm 91:14-16, Amplified Bible
Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—-trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
We are to set our love upon the Lord. We are to love Him first, above all other people and things. We are to love Him above our spouses and children. But we cannot love Him until we know how much He loves us. Don’t focus on trying to love Him. Focus your attention on how much He loves you, and the first thing you know is that you will be responding to His love for you.
When we set our love upon the Lord, He delivers us. He sets us above all the problems and troubles of this world. How does He do that? He does that as we know and understand His name. When we understand the value of His name, we trust Him completely, knowing He will never forsake us. His name is above every name, and every knee must bow to His name. The knee of sickness and disease and lack must bow to the name of the Lord Jesus. There is no other name on earth that has the power of the name of Jesus. All other names of things are in subjection to the name of Jesus. They are not greater than He is or His name is. He has given us His name as power of attorney, in His place, to use as we need it. Use His name when needed. He will back you.
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe, high above evil, strong, set aloft.
The Lord will never forsake you. He assures you of that in Hebrews 13:5,6, Amplified Bible. “…for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! Assuredly not!] So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?”
We call upon the Lord and He answers us. He is always right there. His line is never busy; He never puts you on hold; He never ignores your call and lets it go to voicemail; He never keeps you waiting. In today’s modern world, that is such a blessing to me. He is always available.
He is with me in trouble. He delivers me from all my troubles.
The Lord honors me.
He satisfies me with long life and shows me His salvation (deliverance, healing and health, prosperity, well-being) in every area of my life. In Him is life and there is no death. In His pathway there is life and there is no death. That means that in Him we simply take off our earth suit when the assignment He has given us on this earth is finished. We don’t have to vacate our bodies with sickness and disease or accidents brought on by satan. There is a no trespassing sign on us that says: Keep Off! Private Property! Owned by Jesus Christ! Only one catch to that—-we have to enforce it. We have already done all the dying we are going to do when we accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord. We have died to self and are alive in Him. Glory to God!
