In Mark 5 from verse 21 to 43, we see the most amazing example of how Jesus Himself protected Faith and was ruthless in fighting fear. I know you'll be encouraged in your Faith Journey as we follow Jesus on this Ruthless Journey to save a girl from death. Here we see Jesus using Faith to bring God's will into this physical world.

Psalm 23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. It requires Jesus as Lord, and it requires us to know Jesus as Shepherd. When WE are trying to control the outcome, and WE rush to and fro every day, when do you get time to get before God and get quiet? Did you notice, Jesus didn’t walk around with a loud haler! Right! He didn’t try to be heard over all the noise. In actual fact, most of his sermons where outside the cities. Away from the hustle and bustle. If you wanted to hear what He had to say, many times, you would need to travel with Him for days, out in the wilderness. You would have to leave your jobs behind, your businesses, your families, your comforts, and get away from it all with HIM. Get to the quite places, WITH HIM.

Psalm 23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. When you are the sole provider of your needs, when you are the one you trust, then things within your being are disturbed. Misaligned. Initially disturbed, but progressively damaged and perverted. Sin damages and perverts. Not having God in His rightfully place slowly destroys our soul. o God’s structures and alignment with His Kingdom principles, bring rest, provision, peace and restoration. o Shepherd > Trust(No want) > green pastures > still waters > Soul restored. o Let’s have a look at the progression sketched out in Ps23 v1-3: - He makes me to lie down in Green pastures. - He leads me beside still waters. - He restores my soul.

Ps23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. Join us as we Journey through Psalm 23. In part 4 we will be dealing with the second part of verse 1, 'I shall not want'. Isn't it interesting to see that Lack/Want are the first subject to be addresses after Lordship and Shepherding! And they are possibly the biggest distraction from our walk with God is lack and want. The wording here is referring to ‘not lacking’. And is not directly linked to covetousness, but it's interesting how ‘lack’ in some ways is kind of the opposite of ‘want’ We battle with either the fear of lack or the drive of ‘want’. I will be addressing ‘want’ in this part, not the absence of lack, but the presence of want. If we allow it, doesn’t ‘want/lack’ crowd out almost every other important thing im our lives? God, Family, Community, Rest, quietness… When last have you consistently had time for your family, and time for yourself. Time to reflect and be quiet!? Want, and lack, are rooted in ‘unblief’. Unbelief is evil in God’s eyes. Unbelief will rob you of the Ps 23 journey (Thanks to www.bensound.com)

Grace flows in the worry free areas of your life! Today we see how worry is linked to the lack of faith. Faith comes from knowing God. Don't allow the basics of today's life distract us from seeing God's goodness and greatness. Keep beholding the Lamb of God. His presence brings Faith! (Thanks for www.bensound.com)

Our minds and our thoughts are at the centre of a war! The war for your minds! Today, as never before, we are bombarded with information. Most of our thoughts do NOT originate in our own minds, they are planted there, by media. Then we also have our own thoughts, and then the enemy is attempting to plant lies in our mind throughout the day. The soul, of which the mind forms part, kind of is the gateway between spirit and body. Renewed and un-renewed. It’s kind of the final say, where 2 or 3 agree. It plays a pivotal role, no pun intended, in our growth, our behaviour, or future!

Ps23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. Join us as we Journey through Psalm 23. In Part 3 we continue to examine: The Structural Correction Ps 23 Journey’s first step in ‘JESUS AS LORD’ Jesus shows Himself to you, how do you respond? Allowing Him as Lord in your life is the only righteous thing to do after seeing who He is. This is an act of God’s Sovereignty and Your will to choose. Kingdom of God invades your life. Shepherding follows Lordship First He must be Lord, First you must hand everything over to Him Then He can be Shepherd, then you will follow Him. Lordship comes from a Revelation, Shepherding comes from Trust Trust, it’s also a process He can’t be your Shepherd, if you don’t trust Him Trust… Let’s close by talking about this Shepherd He is the Good Shepherd We need to learn how to be good sheep David knew a thing or two about sheep, right He is Faithful: 2 Timothy 2:13 ESV If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. Deuteronomy 7:9 ESV Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, He can be trusted? What is Trust? Definition: The meaning of TRUST is assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something. Trust comes with Knowing Trusting is a process. Embark on the process • But trusting is an active process. • Knowing God is Trusting God So we need to get to know Him o Through His word o The testimony of others o And time in His presence.

Ps23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. Join us as we Journey through Psalm 23. In Part 2 we continue to evaluate the concept of our value and who set our value, and we see that David knew that he was valued by God. We also touch on how David's experiential knowledge of being a shepherd aided him in writing this Psalm and we end by looking at who the Lord and Shepherd of Ps 23 is! Thanks to www.bensound.com

Ps23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. Join us as we Journey through Psalm 23. In Part 1 we zoom out a bit, to look at some of David's life leading up to the writing of Ps 23
