DELIVERED FROM TROUBLE As I sat there staring out the window I suddenly heard a word inside of me, "Trouble." Nothing else, just "Trouble." I started talking out loud to myself, "Trouble? Who's in trouble? Am I in trouble, are my kids in trouble, is my wife in trouble?" My wife woke up and said, "Who are you talking to?" "Myself," I said, " I believe the Lord just spoke to me." She said, "What did He say?" I said, "I think He said, 'Trouble'." She said, "Trouble! Who's in trouble? Are we in trouble? Are the kids in trouble?" I said, "I don't know." She said, "What am I supposed to do with that kind of information?" Needless to say it was an interesting morning. It took almost two and a half weeks, but I looked up every scripture I could find using the word "Trouble." What a great Word study it was! Sure enough, six months later trouble showed up good measure and pressed down in one day. During a six hour period in my life great trouble descended on me, but I thank God I remembered what He had shown me earlier that year. I found the scriptures I had looked up and for about an hour began to read them over and over. Never had such a negative word brought such a positive outcome! Six hours later everything turned around completely. Thank God for His living Word! Enjoy the following scriptures: Psalm 9:9 (NLT) 9 The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 20:1 (NLT) 1 In times of trouble, may the Lord respond to your cry.
