Divine Comfort, Care, and Protection
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalms 91:1
In this chapter God paints the picture of His oversight, His divine watch care, His provision and His protection over His beloved people. Each verse is this amazing chapter is inseparable connected to and anchored in the very first verse – which is the divine thesis statement for the whole chapter. As is the divine case made throughout Holy Scripture, it’s all about relationship! See also Jeremiah 17:12, John 17:3, and Philippians 3:10.
Read Psalm 91. GOD made this very creature/bird (pictured) for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, and protects His own (Ps 91:1).
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Psalms 91:4
As the bird covers its chicks under its wings for warmth and protection, so God covers His children – those who choose to “dwelleth in the secret place of the most high,” taking refuge under the shadow of His wings (Psalms 91:1). GOD made the “winged fowl” (birds) for the express purpose of showing His highest creation – mankind – how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, and protects His own (Genesis 1:21; Psalms 91:1).
Read Psalm 91 and make it a passage you revisit often so that the truth of it begins to permeate your whole disposition. Here the LORD uses the imagery of His “winged fowl” creation (Genesis 1:21). GOD made this very creature/bird for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, and protects His own (Psalms 91:1).
One of the main reasons and perhaps the very reason the LORD created birds, was to demonstrate to us in tangible form, just how much He loves and cares for His children. You and I have NO earthly idea how much He loves us …. not a clue!
The LORD created this very species (birds) for perhaps many reasons and one was to show us exactly how much He loves us and protects, shelters, comforts, provides and cares for, and blesses His beloved children.

Speaking of His love and protection over His beloved children, here’s another picture He gives us in His blessed Word:
“As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.” Psalms 125:2
Those who attempt to do harm to the LORD’s people will be contended with by the Almighty Himself.
Isaiah 49:15 tells us: “for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.”
In fact, we are told by our LORD that He actually becomes the enemy and adversary to those who take up cause against His children:
“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.” Exodus 23:22
Note the conditional key here in the above passage – obedience. – “IF thou shalt indeed obey his voice.”
With Job, the LORD’s children can say with all confidence:
“He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. 21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.” Job 5:19-22
Dare we break out those 7 “troubles” we all face that God promises to “deliver” us from? Let’s do it from the above passage:
- “In famine he shall redeem thee from death”
- “in war from the power of the sword”
- “Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue”
- “neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh” (no fear or terror)
- “At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh”
- “At … famine thou shalt laugh”
- “neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.”
IF Satan is attacking, take cover! Memorize Proverbs 1:33 today.
I love what our LORD promises us in Proverbs 1:33:
“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33
Does it interest you to “dwell safely, and (shall) be quiet from fear of evil”? Think upon this verse. Your life cannot remain the same, if you do.
The only way to “hearkeneth” to the LORD is to tend diligently and daily upon His blessed Precepts – to tuck our lives under the infinite shadow of His wings. It is in the comfort of His Word that we shall not be offended by anything, being possessed with the knowledge, the living revelation that He has all things under His care.
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3
Safest Place: In the cross of Christ “your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3)
Our place of protection is in the love walk, with the LORD where we express our love for Him in obedience to Him.
“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4
Are you ready for some “Great peace”?
“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Psalms 119:165
The “Great peace” of God is exclusively reserved for those who love His Word. They will not be moved, afraid, or offended! They are settled in the unchanging divine love and Word of God.
The All-Encompassing, Predominant Love of God Upon His Children
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:31-39
There is nothing that can separate us from His love. We did nothing to earn it, we can do nothing to keep it, and we shall experience it forever, if we abide with Christ to the end (John 15:1-6). In fact, Jude wrote that we must keep ourselves in God’s love:
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21
In great gratitude, letting all concerns and desires known to our Father in humble prayer “requests” (“supplication”) is essential to experiencing the “peace … which passeth all understanding.”
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” Philippians 4:6-9
Here, our LORD’s apostle instructs us to “think on these things”:
- “whatsoever things are true”
- “honest”
- “just”
- “pure”
- “lovely”
- “whatsoever things are of good report”
- “if there be any virtue”
- “if there be any praise”
This fixed gaze upon the LORD, setting Him always before our faces, is found throughout God’s Word and coincides with what Paul penned to the believers at Colosse, when He wrote:
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4
Essential to readiness when Jesus returns, is to have the affections of our hearts set upon Him as we “seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.”
The key is to perpetually dwell “in the secret place of the most high,” never departing from His will and therefore His blessed, divine presence (Psalms 91:1). Therein – in the perfect place of fellowship with Christ, are all the blessings of God contained (2 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 2:9-10, etc.).
“The secret of peace within and power without, is to be always and only occupied with Christ.” E. Schuyler
“For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” Psalms 61:3-4
Joshua Cooper notes:
“Jesus Christ is our Peace, Protection and Provider, no matter what. So, get with Him, stay with Him, never depart from Him, and stay strong to the finish. We should all want to hear, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.’”
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You so very much for loving me – for loving all of mankind. Thank You for finding and saving my wretched soul! Thank You for Your peace that passeth all understanding! I love You Jesus and thank You for coming to die for me – for my sins – so I could be brought into relationship with You and the Father. Thank You for finding and saving me and for all of your blessings, including Your peace, prosperity, and Your protection. In Jesus’ name. I humbly ask you to please use me to help others know you! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lay Up For Yourselves Treasures in Heaven [podcast]

“LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES”
The only wealth that will last, forever, is that which is gained by obeying God in this life – thereby laying up treasure in Heaven.
Money Has Wings
“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Proverbs 23:4-5
- Instruction: “Labour not to be rich” v4
- Instruction: “cease from thine own wisdom” v4
- Question?: “Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?” v5
- Wisdom to ponder: “for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven” v5
Note this phrase in v5 (please read carefully) – “riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Now watch this – “they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” What does that mean? Simply, the way we spend our money on earth will testify about our lives on Judgment Day and we will thereby be rewarded or stripped of rewards or even kept out of the kingdom (Lk. 16:19-31; James 2:1-7; 5:1-6; etc.). The usage of our money is a direct reflection of the priorities of our hearts (Matt. 6:21).
Treasures In Heaven
IN previous generations, young men and women gave up their whole life of luxury in America to go to a foreign land to preach the Gospel of Christ. Today we have a generation of professing “Christians” who won’t so much as give up a penny to support the preaching of the Gospel of the glorious Savior they claim to be saved by.
How important is Christ and His Gospel to you? Jesus told us exactly how important we count Him and His Gospel….
People spend, waste money on every frivolity under Heaven and seldom lay up treasures in Heaven using their temporal coin (Matthew 6:19-21). Read Jesus’ teaching recorded in Luke 16.
Our LORD instructs us to lay up treasure, but in Heaven not here in this temporal world where the dollar will soon be obsolete, superseded by rewards earned during this earthly life.
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures (lots) in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” Matthew 6:19-20
Saint of the Most High, are you going to look back in eternity and deeply regret the opportunities God gave you in this fleeting life that you passed up? – to bless another believer or to support the work of Christ and send forward eternal rewards?
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21
WHERE are you laying up treasure?
Your investments into God’s kingdom work in this short life are truly safe, secure, life-giving, and eternal. No one can take them away.
DISCIPLE OF JESUS, Jesus Christ is all-knowing and sees everything and will reward every good deed or work done in His name and love.
“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10
Tithing is not commanded under the New Testament. Yet giving and putting God first is commanded and is the privilege of the saints of Christ (Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 6:33; Luke 6:38).

Mission Mexico Update Part 34 [video]

Mexico Army Personnel Ministered to [podcast]
“Love this walk around ministry here in Mexico. Handed a fella a tract and about 3 minutes later I passed by him and he was still reading it.” Mark
Brother Mark is a studious, diligent disciple of Jesus. Diligently doing the ultimate mission for our Messiah which is eternal. Thank you for lifting our brother in prayer (Colossians 4:12).
Mission Mexico – This is brother in Christ Juan. After ministering to him he lit up and informed me that he is a born again Christian. He is now distributing the JESUS tract on a very busy street where his shop it (the one he owns). God is good. Satan is a liar. Jesus is coming. Let’s roll saints. More Mission Mexico updates here.
“You mentioned our prayers are golden with God. How true this is according to Revelation 5:8. They are ‘golden vials’ (prayers and praises). That go upward to heaven right to the Lord! Carried up to the throne of heaven. And are received as a sweet odour to God! If done out of a pure heart. Because we know He hears the prayers of the righteous (Proverbs 15:29). If we are clothed in humility, our prayers and praises will be a sweet-smelling aroma to our Lord Jesus!” Karen Cochran
Regrettably, most professing Christians will never love Jesus enough to give up this fleeting world for Heaven’s coming King (Luke 14:33; 17:33).
When asked if she desired Christians in the USA to lift her in prayer, Maria immediately responded in the affirmative. Thank you for lifting the people in Mexico in your prayer, right now if you wish to pause.
Last evening brother Mark and I met up again with the dear pharmacist man. Gave him a big hug, warmly interacted with him, and gave him a fresh supply of the JESUS tract to continue to distribute from his pharmacy which is on a very busy corner here in Mexico and has daily walk in and walk by traffic.
A few days ago…. TONIGHT …. Another 50-60 JESUS tracts distributed and God’s Word spoken to many. 99% reception rate. God is good. Jesus is coming. Let’s roll saints. Mission Mexico underway. Your prayers and support are vital.
The receptivity of the Mexican people to our LORD’s Gospel is staggering, utterly dumbfounding.
“Truthfully amazing. I don’t think we here in in America can even begin to comprehend what God is doing in the hearts of the Mexican people. The book of Acts is the closest thing we have to understanding. I just read Daniel 12:3 “and they that the turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” You and Mark’s lives in Christ are a shining testament to so many as you lead them to salvation and the righteousness only found in Christ.” Karen Cochran
Recently it was made known that a new batch of the JESUS tracts in Spanish was a need. A dear disciple of Christ funded that. God is good. 1,500 JESUS tracts! Done! appr 7,000 distributed thus far!
After the last newsletter, a dear sister in Christ jumped in and sent the money for us to print 1,500 more of the JESUS tract in Spanish. So now to date 9,000 have been printed during Mission Mexico. Appr 7,000 already distributed! 7,000 souls heard and read the Gospel of our LORD thus far and your prayers and support make this possible!
Jesus the Great High Priest
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrew 4:14-16

“NEVER take a Vacation from God” [podcast]
Jesus is coming saints – we going home soon to His forever home (John 14:1-6).
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.”
Heaven in the greatest investment – it’s forever. In Jesus our LORD
todd
God be praised for those who are financially supporting this outreach. We will continue to do with that which comes in. Here are some things that can be done….
More support to others doing ministry in the USA.
We support Allan Abayon, who is a sound disciple and now ministering in the Philippines.
More support for requested books by Jay, a chaplain who ministers to 800 inmates in Texas, on the border. He’s the brother who contacted me after he got a hold of one of the Authentic Disciple of Jesus books (Spanish) in the jail he ministers in. He loved it and asked for more. We’ve only sent him a few dozen as that’s all the money that was given for such…..
Roger (pictured below) is a brother in Christ and after we talked he took some JESUS tracts to distribute. Amen LORD. Roger was asked if he’d like Christians in the USA to lift him in prayer and he eagerly said “yes.” Would you like to pause now and lift up our brother in Christ to the Father in Jesus’ name?
Dear saints in Christ, thank you for agreeing that it is our privilege to help these beloved people, to take out of what GOD has put in our hand to help HIS work.

The Killing Power of the Holy Ghost with Judge Travis Bryan III [podcast]

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” Romans 8:13
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
“The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.” Samuel Rutherford
Momentum in the power of the Holy Spirit comes from a continual perpetual downward dying motion, being then raised up reciprocally in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ.
“The flesh loses its power over you when it is crucified. Christ’s power begins to reign. The worries and stress of this life leave. And you begin to have the peace that passes all understanding. Philippines 4:7 Amen! A crucified life! Hallelujah all praise to Jesus.” Karen Cochran
God’s plan for your life….here it is:
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
The ministry has put together 3 volumes sure to deepen your life in Christ, in the crucified life. 3 volumes to boost your life in Christ, in the cross He commanded us to take up – and by which He raises us upward in His glorious power and grace (Luke 9:23-24).
