Lordship of Almighty God
Psalms 3:1-6
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Ab'sa-lom his son.
LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
KJV
Psalms 34:19
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
KJV
When you read Psalms 3 you have to know that David did not write Psalms 34:19 from hearing other people’s testimonies, he had
proven God over and over again by calling on God when he was in trouble and over and over again God showed himself to be
David’s deliverer. David did not fail to call on God and God never failed to answer. He always showed himself strong on David's
behalf. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood today as David did then however God's answer to our call for help today will
come just as surely as did his answer for David’s call then!
It is guaranteed by Jesus Christ.
Matthew 7:7-8
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
KJV
Hebrews 7:22
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
KJV
Let's look back at Psalms 3:1-6 and see principles, confessions and results of faith that work the same now as then.
David began his prayer by acknowledging the sovereign Lordship of Almighty God. That should be the first step of any saint's call
for help from God. Lord is defined here as “Self existent or Eternal Jehovah”. David is simply acknowledging that he is calling on the
one who is from eternity to eternity and is totally established of and in himself. Totally dependant on himself and totally self
sufficient to do what needs done on his behalf.
Then David stated what the problem was, as we should also do when we call on the Lord. They also say Lord that you won't help
me and I have thought about that Lord and here is what I say, here is my confession of faith in response to all the voices that
mentally try to discourage me besides everything else that is happening.
Psalms 3:3
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
KJV
Again he begins with Lord, and then says you are my protector, my defense and my ruler. Therefore will I submit to your Lordship
as my ruler and come safely under your protection as my defender! You therefore are my glory, none of mine all of you. You are
my glory, the splendor in which I enjoy so richly and mine honor to which every foe of mine must yield to, as the defeated. Their
silent lifeless bodies crying out that you O God are Lord.
Same Lordship, same honor! You are the one which will raise me above all this trouble and cause me to walk as your crowned king!
Or blood washed child!
I cried to you, I know you heard me. So I went to sleep and to all mine enemies’ surprise I woke up the next morning because you
took care of me. I will not be afraid of them who are against me, no matter how many there are. You have defeated the enemy and
your salvation has become my blessing. Amen
Let the faith principles of this prayer work for you today and rest in the Lord.
