Psalms 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
We often hear Psalms 23:4 quoted in movies, poetry, sermons and books.
Psalms 23:4, “Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
The word “rod” is the Hebrew word mish‛ênâh
mish‛eneth (what a big word!) and means, “support (abstractly), that is,
(figuratively) sustenance or (concretely) a walking stick: - staff.” The
word “staff” is the Hebrew word shêbet
and means
“to branch off; a scion, that is, (literally) a stick (for punishing,
writing, fighting, ruling, walking, etc.)” Thus, we see that the
Lord's ROD is for guidance and His staff is used for fighting off our
enemies. These are but two of God's blessings over His children. The Bible
teaches in Psalms 23:4 that God's COMFORTS us with His rod and staff, that
is, we are comforted by constantly knowing that God is guiding us and
protecting us from satanic attacks. Jesus is the Good Shepherd!
God Is With Us As Christian Believers, But Are We With God?
The world is getting crazier everyday without question. Evil in the short-term is triumphing, but righteousness will prevail in the long-term! I'm a big fan of Alex Jones, a professed Christian who's been fighting against the New World Order since the 1990's. I don't agree with Alex's use of Rock music on his radio show, nor everything that he supports, but Alex and his crew at Infowars.com come a lot closer to being right than all these apostate preachers who are hiding in their churches, silent about the evils of the New World Order. Ephesians 6:12 plainly states that our battle is “against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” That certainly includes the Godless New World Order, Zionism, Freemasonry and the sinister Shadow Government (video sermon by Pastor Charles Lawson) controlling the United States of America from behind the scenes.
Here's a few paragraphs from the opening of Alex's Infowars Show today at PrisonPlanet.tv...
We are broadcasting worldwide as we steam directly right into the maelstrom of corporate-global governance involved in an all-out high-tech, technocratic siege operation against nation states, individuals, the rule of law, and anything that stands in the way of their piratical repine.
This is one of the most important periods in human history, if not the most important ever! Words cannot describe the massive changes that are happening ... economic, spiritual, cultural, national, international, global, galactic (with all the spacecrafts and satellites and the sun). ...Everything is beginning to melt down. Winners are losers are being picked by the globalists. ... They've had to sell a culture of fraud, lies, mental illness, and 2 + 2 = 5 to the world population to get away with all this corruption.
But that virus of fraud has now entered the system. Computers are malfunctioning. Trains are crashing and exploding. More aircrafts are going to be crashing. Americans are going to see much more divorce, murder... We're on the verge of a technological onslaught, a government virus of power that's about to pull out all the stops and usher chaos into every facet of the governmental system worldwide. It's because the system is now totally based upon fraud.”

Starting Over (“We all have to start over once and a while!”) —quote from the sermon, STARTING OVER by Pastor Danny Castle!!!
Alex is right, the entire system is
now totally based upon fraud. King David rejoiced in Psalms
23:4, asserting that even in the valley of the shadow of evil
that he would FEAR NO EVIL, because God is with him always,
guiding and protecting him continually as a loving Shepherd
watching over His vulnerable flock. God is a good God! I shall
never walk alone, so promises the Word of God. Hebrews 13:5, “Let
your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with
such things as ye have: for he hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Here is
a precious Scripture promise from Psalms 27:10, “When my
father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.”
Isn't that beautiful? If you are all alone in the world, even if
you've been forsaken by yours own parents, God will adopt you
as His child (if you are born-again) and be your family!!! Hallelujah!
We Are On The Winning Side In Christ Jesus!
The glorious appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ is drawing closer each and every day. Truly, it cannot be much longer now. Look at the insane world today. Homosexual marriages were just made the law of the land on June 26, 2015 by the Godless U.S. Supreme Court. America is now the laughing-stock of the world! We start unprovoked wars, destroy the sovereignty of nations, mass-murder the innocent (1,455,590 total in the Iraqi War), exploit the poor so American corporate executives can become billionaires, et cetera.
A staggering 1% of America's corporate executives own as much as the bottom 40% of Americans! U.S. Corporatism is nothing less than total fascism, and capitalism has been made the scapegoat! The international money barons (banksters) control the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR), who own and control the United States and Israel. Nations no longer rule the world, corporations do! Amazingly, Bible prophecy presents history in advance. Revelation 18:3 teaches that the nations of the world were made wealthy by the woman (Illuminati controlled Zionist Israel and the United States). Revelation 17:18 identifies the woman who rides the Beast as Jerusalem (the city which spiritually is called “Sodom” and “Egypt” - Revelation 11:8). Tel Aviv, Israel, is today considered the Gay Mecca of the world. In January of 2012, The Huffington Post said that Israel “has long been a gay paradise”! The Beast which the woman rides is a Global Godless Totalitarian Communist Police State, aka, the New World Order.
Ah, but as Christians we can rest
assure that God is still on His throne. God sees every evil and
injustice. God-fearing Christians often feel overwhelmed by the
wickedness of our day. Abortion is legal. Same-sex perversion is
legal. Homosexual sodomy and adultery are legal. Wickedness is
overthrowing America! It seems as though the Zionist criminals
who've hi-jacked the United States are above the law, since they
control all high positions in government departments and the
highest court in the land. I heard a Bible verse read today (which warmed my heart) from 1st Corinthians 4:5, “Therefore
judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come,
who both will bring to light the hidden things of
darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and
then shall every man have praise of God.” God is
going to bring every work to light, both good and evil.
I've watched dozens of alarming and
disturbing documentaries over the past year exposing these
evils: I could go on-and-on. All of these
are merely the tip of the iceberg of the frauds, evils and
criminal activities destroying the world today. Child
trafficking is a massive evil, perpetrated by the Pentagon (see:
DynCorp), CPS (see: Boystown, Nebraska) and other government
agencies. It appears like the culprits got away with it. It
appears that the perpetrators behind the 9/11 attacks are
homefree, unable to be prosecuted. Ah, but God has their number.
1st Corinthians 4:5 promises
that God, “...will bring to light the hidden
things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the
hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.”
The righteous are all going to praise God when the wicked get
what they have coming to them. We are going to praise God when
the criminal Bush family, the Clintons, the Obamas and all the
millions of evil government politicians and officials, who have
done wickedly throughout their lives, stand before God and are
held accountable, and punished. We will praise God when we see
Hollywood and everyone involved cast into the Lake of Fire. We
will not rejoice because the wicked are going to Hell; but
rather, that injustice and evil are being avenged of the victims
of their wickedness. I do not rejoice that the Bush family is
going to Hell, but I long to see the victims of the 9/11 attacks
and the Iraqi war avenged. I long to see the 57,000,000 murdered
babies by abortion vindicated. Their blood is crying out to God
from the ground, just as Abel's blood cried out to God from the
ground (Genesis 4:10). It shouldn't be much longer now.
The New World Order is forming at an escalated rate. Each day we
are witnessing unprecedented steps being taken to bring about a
police state. California and New York are leading the way.
Here's some insane news from July of 2015. The street preacher
was convicted of hate-speech for reading the Holy Bible back in
2011, but it shows the horrible direction America is quickly
headed... My friend, we shall never walk
alone as born-again Christians, for Jesus is with us. The Holy
Spirit is the Spirit of Christ in us (Romans 8:9). The Holy
Spirit is God the Father, and God the Son, living inside every
born-again believer as God the Holy Spirit (Colossians 2:2; 1st
Corinthians 3:16-17). Amen! I shall never walk alone! No matter
how rotten, evil and insane the world gets, God never changes
(Malachi 3:6). Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
