  “ O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: And their faces were not ashamed. ”  Psalm 34 : 3 - 5 KJV Deliverance is simply a lightened look unto a lifted LORD. Meanwhile, the life of a natural man is readily shackled with a deceitful look unto lost lord. The Devil has been a master and lord of all deceits from the beginning; and all his promises of sweetness have always been a shackle of sorrow and sadness. Whereas,  a look at the lifted LORD represents a single wrap of deliverance and holiness, according to Obadiah 1:17 ““ But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions” . Those who take the step of faith into the presence of the Lord are readily delivered from the PRISON, including (1) persecution - for example, the lifted LORD delivered Shadrach, Messac...

  “ Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. ” Psalms 34 : 8 - 10 NKJV The difference between “ Oh, taste and see that the Lord has good ” and “ Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good “ is simply happiness versus joy. Those whose lives are regulated by the pursuit of good gifts are readily deceived by material prosperity, momentary advances, and monumental positions. And if the young lions, with all their endowment as the king of the jungles and physical strength, can lack and suffer hunger, it shows that good gifts with their transient mode of happiness are not always  sustainable. Whereas, to truly experience the goodness of God is far higher and richer than the entertainment of good gifts; it is the actual experience of the presence of God in all circumstances o...

  “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing” Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭4‬, ‭6‬, ‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Finding a single solution to life’s multifaceted problems often creates more fears. Like finding the key in a box that opens a can of worms, each seemingly attractive path of solution and breakthrough in life has its own catch and a dispenser of fears. Unfortunately, the search for solutions from the different mountains for financial breakthrough, professional advancement, healing and wellness, marital blessings and fruitfulness, etc, has often driven many people into the trap or the dungeon of greater captivity. Whereas, the very few people like the psalmist have only tasted and found the single solution to life’s fears in the Lord; and they are always privileged to return with a testimon...
