19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

  • You became Righteous by one Man’s Obedience : Jesus
  • So its nothing to do with you to become Righteous.

2 Corinthians 5:21

Power of Speaking in Tongues

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Only After this part “they shall speak with new tongues”, it is followed by

  • They shall take up serpents; and
  • if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
  • they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

It clearly shows that the more you speak in Tongues, more you become Supernatural

Escaping Valley of Shadow of Death

Psalm 23:1-4

King James Version (KJV)

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

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.

When the Lord is “leading” you

  • He maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures
  • He Leadeth me beside the still waters
  • He restoreth my soul
  • He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake

When You Start “Walking” Yourself

  • You walk through the Valley of the shadow of death
  • Shows you are walking yourself without HIS leading
  • *You = I

Answer

  • Let the Lord lead You, to Escape from the Valley of Shadow of Death

Note:

  • On the Below Psalms wherever the word “HE” comes Psalms 23:2-3 : Shows Prosperous, Happy, Resting situation
  • Place where the word “I” comes Psalms 23:4 : Shows Valley of Shadow of Death Situation

God is so kind

Even when you walk yourself, It might be the valley of the SHADOW of death :

  • Still God is with you always ( Fulfilling His promise for God’s Children : “I will never leave you nor forsake you” )
    • I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
    • thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    • His rod and His staff is NOT for beating us. ( its for comforting us, but for beating the WOLF which comes to deceive us)
    • END RESULT : I will fear no evil
  • Wait! Wait! still it doesn’t say that “Its a valley of Death”, It says “Valley of SHADOW of Death”.
    • Shadow means its just a Fake thing to get you scared. (Satan is a deceiver )
  • Happy Ending for all situations 🙂
