Ps 23  GENEVA Bible
1 Because the Prophet had proved the great 
mercies of God at divers times, & in sundry manners, he gathereth a certain assurance, fully persuading himself that God will continue the very same goodness towards him forever.
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my a shepherd, 1 I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to rest in green pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.  3 He 1 restoreth my soul, and leadeth me in the 2 paths of righteousness for his Name's sake. 4 Yea, though I should walk through the valley of the 1 shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou dost prepare a 1 table before me in the sight of mine adversaries: thou dost 2 anoint mine head with oil, and my cup runneth over. 6 Doubtless kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall remain a long season in the 1 house of the Lord.

Song 6:3 NKJV   I am my beloved's, And my beloved is mine.  He feeds his flock among the lilies.

Hab 3:17-19 Amplified     17 Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, 18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]   
19 The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!

“ Anxiety is not of My making.  There are those whose desire is to kill you, who are influencing media, and everything shown there, to instill fear, and praying that fear will destroy you literally.  My people are not moved by fear.  I’ve not given you a spirit of fear, but power, and love and a sound mind.  Unbelief is another thing they are trying to instill. It pervades commentaries, and movies, cartoons even for the young, to dissuade the children of the truth of My existence.  But MY SHEEP hear My voice, and they follow ME into verdant pastures of repose, where they can experience the depth of My Shalom.  I AM PEACE.  I AM LOVE.  I AM what is needed to face the days ahead.

This is good news for those who don’t know Me, that they are LOVED, and they can have PEACE despite all that is happening in the world.  What do they see when they look at you? What do they see when you hear the news? 
They NEED MY SHALOM.  They need to see a difference in you to what is all around them.  In My presence is fullness of JOY as well as Peace and Love.  Joy inexpressible and overflowing, even in the midst of turmoil, one can have JOY. Knowing Me, and how I feel, how I think, how I AM THE  MIGHTY ONE, gives you peace, and joy, and love, because you know, that I AM able even when you are not !  Put your confidence in ME.  I did not call you to strive, or strife, fear or anxiety. Those are the enemy’s tools to wear you down.

Stay in a place of COMMUNICATION with Me every day. Keep your mind STAYED on ME. For I will keep you in perfect peace, no matter what you see, no matter what you hear, no matter what is ahead, and you will get the answers you need.

Winds are blowing that will bring the sounds of war, instability, turmoil, chaos, mayhem, & fear, but I AM YOUR PEACE. I WILL BREAK DOWN EVERY DOOR the enemy tries to slam in your face. I have called you to SUPERNATURAL peace, SUPERNATURAL LOVE, SUPERNATURAL peace. And it is only obtained IN ME.  You are seated in heavenly places, IN ME.

I in you, you in ME. Forever we will always be. STAY here, in the place of peace, warmth, comfort, hidden in the shadow of My wings. Hidden from all the strife and self exaltation of the enemy.  Yes, he thinks he is arising. Yes, he and his followers think they are arising to victory.  But they are under grand delusion. YOUR PEACE is in ME. 

They are soon to see what they cannot imagine to be.  For it is IN YOU that I will ARISE.  It is in YOU, that I will make Myself known.  It is in you, that great miracles will be demonstrated. You only have to BELIEVE, and not allow that belief to be stolen.
I can do anything. 
I can use anyone.
I can do way beyond anything they think they can do!”
Abba
