Psalm 91:14–16 ESV 14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. 15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”God Alone is the Savior / Rescuer / Deliverer (Psalm 91:14)We Know that This Deliverance Belongs to GodWhy? - Unless God Intervenes Man Goes about His Own BusinessPeople May be generally Unaware of God’s ExistencePeople May be Under Delusion about God’s ExistencePeople May be Actively Denying God’s ExistenceHOW does God Intervene?Hebrews 1:1–2 ESV 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.The Intervention may include Palpable Disasters, Pandemics, Pivotal Events or even People - But the Intervention ultimately flows from the Believers willingness to PREACH (declare) What Jesus - Who is Over all things and is Creator of the World - Has Spoken!This is Why our Conversations must POINT to Jesus.. The Christian, Pastor or Parishioner, is not the Ultimate Authority or Source of Salvation...Acts 4:12 NLT 12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”Acts 4:11–12 ESV 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”God Alone Answers the Prayers of the Righteous ()Our Prayers are not directed to False Gods, Fallen Angels nor Fallible PeopleLamentations 3:40–41 ESV 40 Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord! 41 Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:1 Timothy 2:5 ESV 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,Matthew 6:9 ESV 9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.Matthew 6:9Philippians 4:6 ESV 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.God Alone is the Sustainer and Provider of Life (Psalm 91:16)God Alone is the Sustainer and Provider of Life (Psalm 91:16)This is True of Physical LifeThis is True of Spiritual LifeJohn 3:3–6 NLT 3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.John 3:3-Psalm 91:14–16ESV
