Psalm 91:10-16 KJV
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath 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 honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Verse 10-14 is speaking of the Messiah, but if Moses wrote Psalms 91 it could of been said of him as well. No plague ever befell Moses, no illness is recorded, despite all Moses went through. Moses is a type of Christ but not Christ. Application to who Psalms 91 is for needs to be taken into account. During Christ temptation Devil used Psalms 12. In verse 11 angels ministers of faith, application to David being instructed by the Priesthood and the temple leaders from his growing up years through his reign. David is not recorded as speaking to heavenly angel but speaking to God himself. Few records of angels actually speaking to humans in scripture, yet there are accounts this occurred but it was for a divine purpose.

Christians that fast the plague of our century and died from it. Some might argue if those people were Christians but in truth the time of death was of God's choosing. No plague coming to they dwelling perhaps we need to ask about the cold virus. It not a plague but it a type of plague that seems to rotate around the globe for the season it the strongest. There is a point this morning who is this for this plague that will not touch one's dwelling. It a reference to a promise of God to the people in Deutronomy 7. That he would take away from all sickness and not inflict Israel with the evil diseases of Egypt, but inflict those that hate them with those diseases. This was the promise given in the wilderness to Israel if they would keep the judgments of God as they entered the Promise Land. Do they apply today to the believer? It applies to the believer in the since of a protection that when our nation obeys God's judgments. He offers the protection because he loves his people. Does it apply today, lets examine how many believers lost there life to illness that keep God's word?

I rather ask you how many overcome diseases in our century because of our obedience to God. Because you prayed and submitted to the will of God in your life. How many claimed God's healing in your life even as you were to sick to care whether you lived or died. If God is your healer, and your sick can you count on his blessings for healing even when you fail him as a believer? Is there anything in your life that needs to be removed to get or receive your blessing from God. Some point on this type of teaching there has to be strong conviction to remove anything that seems to effect your relationship with God in the believers heart. I believe God is able to remove the things of destruction out of your life that prevents healing, before you fully grasp what God is doing. Sometimes God allows illness like Job who had sores on his body, for a time of testing. I believe that sometimes God allows us to walk through the Holy Spirit fire to cleanse us from all impurities in our life. That when we get muck on our shoes again and we will because of humanity, we only need a good foot washing and not the fire to cleanse us. God allows the storms in our life to purge our sins, but some sin takes the work of God in our life to get rid of it. Not all illness as in Job case was because of sin, but was because of the devil tempting old Job to sin against God. And Job probably came as close as he ever would when it came to questioning God of why this was happening to him.

That is why this Psalm is about the Messiah, because Christ did not suffer disease or anything not controlled by man. Though man crucified Jesus, God allowed it. Job suffering came from the devil but it came from his friends too. He had no support or not the type anyone wants when going through a trial. God's people over time would learn they too could not always keep God's judgments or ways as they enter the promise land for they would go to live in exile. We wonder why people fall, because we get comfortable in our living, we get comfortable with words we say without meaning in the form of worship, our minds on the things of what needs to be done and not real worship or meditation on the word of God.

When our nation, when we as individuals wake up to the fact that we can know and recognize Jesus and God and yet fail to recognize our own sin in life because we not heeding the Holy Spirit warnings, then we will repent. God loves us as we are. He loves you. Our biggest mistake is not loving God back and continuing in sin, that when trials and temptation comes, we become angry with God with not understanding. We do not know God ways beyond the image of God being loving. God promises to the believer to be with us and deliver us heavenward, to be with us through times of trouble. Is our trouble or on our own, the trouble that comes to us may truly be from another and not of our making? God promise to the believer to be with us and to go through it with us.

Job was not alone in his trial, God was watching over him and listening to his questions. Finally answers Job. God wants to know if Job deserved the things he had. What did Job have sinful children, children he was making sacrifices for, because of their sin not his. Job lost his sinful children but was blessed with more children, more things in his world. When God restores you after a trial what do you have? Do you have the headache you had before? Or has the restoration been a blessing. Job got a new beginning. God says he going to be with you through the time of trouble, beware what you say. I be truthful, no matter how careful you are with your words your very thoughts will portray you.

God loves us and is not going to leave us to face our struggles alone, but he going to allow you to struggle until you finall reach up and look to him to help you through the problem. Make sure your not the one with the problem, look at yourself and check your attitude. Check yourself and then come out and kneel before God confess it and let it go, and walk in the promsies of God to his people that are willing to obey and surrender their life to Him. It does not stop you from enjoying live as you desire unless the desire is sinful, and yet we are covered by the blood Jesus that when we slip and fall, were are under God's protection. Jesus being our angel in the since of angel meaning minister or ambassador for God. Yet he more then a minister to us, but the word of God and part of God headbodily that has a beginning and an end. His word is first and his word will be last. We will have a few words in between that only proves are weakness, our fralities, and our human nature.

I started out talking about the inheritance/blessing of God of Israel as they enter the promise of God given with the consequences of judgments protection only given if followed. Are we following God's word. Are we trusting in Chrsit word and following after. The blessings of God's protection is for all believers not just Israel. Israel is more then a group of people by physical birth but a group of people by spiritual birth and faith in God, yet they beleived not in Christ or God's word at the fact he was coming and the time frame in which he would come. Those that did beleive face persecution from the temple as Christ did. Yet faith rested in belief in the words of the prophets of old, throught he time of Christ and those that continue to teach the truth about God and Christ Jesus. God comes by way of his Spirit talking to our hearts from the moment we are saved through faith in Christ.

You want hope study and examine what God required of Israel, what he requires of us today. God's word has not changed, but faith has arise in the hearts of many that believe, where is your faith, ask Jesus into your heart today.

Dear Heavenly Father thank you for the blessings of faith, the blessings of your protects and our trials for the benefits to teach the value of faith to not only ourselves but other. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
