I broke down all six verses from this passage. Check out this lesson titled, "Dinner Is About To Be Served - Psalm 23" on my YouTube channel. #upliftpastcrossroads #upliftwithseanchristopherjenkins #uplift #drj #seanchristopherjenkins #troubledontlast #drjsermons The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 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. 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. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.- Ps23:1-6 #anointed Your enemies may be tools in the hand of God to bless you. #psalm23 God is preparing your table! That is why your enemies are surfacing. #psalm231 The work of the devil will not win against God. No hater can stop God's favor. Pray for them and God will give them front row seats to watch your life prosper. #psalm235 God furnishest us with plenty and variety of provisions and comforts. Our enemies seeing, envying, and fretting at it, are not able to hinder it. #godstable How would it be with you if God had filled your cup in proportion to your faith? How much would you have had in your cup? #godsfeast A godly man, who by faith tastes the goodness of God in all his enjoyments, though he has but little of the world, it is a green pasture. #psalm232 The Lord's people feast at his table, upon the provisions of his love. #thelordsfeast Death is a king of terrors, but not to the sheep of Christ. When they come to die, God will rebuke the enemy; he will guide them with his rod, and sustain them with his staff.

WRITTEN BY @troubledontlast FOLLOW @troubledontlast #upliftpastcrossroads #upliftwithdrj You're always one decision away from a totally different life. #repost @life.educated Your daily choices determine how your future will unfold. #choice Decide exactly what you want in every area of your life. You can't hit a target you can't see. #choices Don't be surprised how quickly the universe will move with you once you have decided. #decisions Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want a different result, make a different choice. #decide We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us. #choose If you plate is too full but you don't have the life that you want, you have the wrong stuff on your plate. #choosecorrectly How strongly you believe you really can will play the biggest part in determining if you actually will. #choicesyoumake Once you decide you want a good life, the universe will start moving things for you to have it. The people you need will appear, the healing you need will happen, the doors you need open will unlock. But not until you decide. Once you truly, sincerely decide, miracles will happen. #makingchoices We should contemplate over the choices before and then decide our priorities. #choicesmakeus Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision. #decidetoday You cannot change your decision overnight, but you can change your direction overnight. #chooseyourlife Life is like a train. At every station, you have different opportunities, you have different situations, just keep going. #choosetoday If you are not willing to work for it, do not complain for not having it. #rightdecisions What you're seeking is also what's seeking you. Always! #decideright Your mistakes don't define your character. It's what you choose to do after you have made the mistake that makes all the difference. #chooseright May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears. #listentogod There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.- Prov14:12 #letgodguide The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.- Prov16:9 #godguides (at Mount Juliet, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FIiJ8l5dL/?igshid=fzj2r4xrm0g5

I pray you will join my journey of teaching God’s Word on my YouTube channel “Uplift Past Crossroads.” (Link in bio.) #detoxyourmind A limited mindset is the gateway to a very limited life. #detoxyourthinking On Friday, June 28, 2019, I did a video talking about how we all struggle with insecurities, have believed certain lies we have been told all of our lives, and are going through life with the wrong perspective about who we really are because of the lies we have allowed to define us. This video is can be found on my YouTube channel and is called, “Reprogramming Your Mind - Stinking Thinking." #upliftpastcrossroads #upliftwithseanchristopherjenkins #uplift #drj #seanchristopherjenkins#troubledontlast #drjsermons You will never completely be healed or whole until you change the voice inside of your own head. Nobody can do this but you. You are snared by the words of your own mouth. When you try to drive out stinking thinking you have to continuously speak God's Word to your situation. #powerofthemind Stuck is when you only have one way of seeing it-and you don't like what you see. #stinkingthinking Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that thoughts. #controlyourmind Until you change your thinking, you will always recycle your experiences. #reprogramming Our emotions are like the back wheel of a bike. Our thoughts are like the front wheel. Emotions follow thoughts. Change how you feel by changing how you think. #powerinyourmind We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.- 2Cor10:5 #changeyourthoughts Your thoughts are like a flock of birds. You can't keep them from flying over but you don't have to let them nest in your hair. #becarefulwhatyoubelieve What's holding you back is the thought that something is holding you back. #dontbelievethelies You are what you are and where you are because of what has gone into into your mind. You can change what you are and where you are by changing what goes into your mind. #changeyourmindset The quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life. #controlyourthinking (at Carrollton, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0S52solvL2/?igshid=1im099neb1pl8

I pray you will join my journey of teaching God’s Word on my YouTube channel “Uplift Past Crossroads.” (Link in bio.) #amessageonfailure GOD PUT EVERYTHING IN YOU TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE'S CALLED YOU TO DO. #failure On Friday, July 13, 2019, at Scott's Chapel A.M.E Church, for my life group, I lead a lesson on all of the disciples failures when it came to following Jesus. If the disciples would have never failed, they would not have ever discovered that they needed Jesus. They would have not ever figured out that they cannot live this life without God's power. The disciples discovered through their failures that they needed God! Please check out this lesson I did on YouTube. #upliftpastcrossroads #upliftwithseanchristopherjenkins #uplift #drj #seanchristopherjenkins #troubledontlast #drjsermons “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written: “‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[e] you yourself will disown me three times.” But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.- Mark14:27-31 #failurequotes You see, failure is inevitable. We are not perfect. We are sinners. We will always stumble in some kind of way in life. If we did not ever stumble, why in the world would we need God? So no matter how perfect you try to be, you will still need God to help you out through this life because you will fail in some kind of way just like the disciples. #mistakes “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”- Luke22:31-34 #failing Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.- Matt26:56 #weneedgod (at Scotts Chapel AME Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QbGcCFe2g/?igshid=1hytun0fni6ob

Deal with your problems before they deal with your happiness. #ownyourthoughts Good news! I shattered my goal of getting 100 subscribers for the year 2019. I have reached 388 subscribers now, but this isn’t enough! My new goal for this year is to get 1,000 views on every single one of my YouTube videos and to get 10,000 total watched hours from my page for this year. If these two goals are reached, then my page will reach the heights and levels that I have envisioned my channel to be. I cannot do this without you, and I am asking if you haven’t already subscribed to my YouTube page and checked out the videos. Please join me on my journey of teaching the Bible all around the world! #controlyourmind “Only You Control Your Thoughts” is my latest video on YouTube. Please check out the video and like, comment what you think and share the video. This is just a short of “Reprogramming Your Mind - Stinking Thinking”, another video I uploaded to video recently on how we should question every thought that enters our mind, take responsibility for what we choose to believe, and to believe the truth about who we really are instead of believing the lies that the world and others has told about us. You are the gatekeeper of your mind. Nobody can tell you what to believe. It is up to you to decide if your mind is going to be a place of life or death. You have to decide this every single day of your life! So cultivate your mind to be a place of hope, truth, peace, positivity, and faith! #upliftpastcrossroads #upliftwithseanchristopherjenkins #seanchristopherjenkins #drjsermons #drj You are your own worst enemy. It is your negative thoughts that hold you back, nothing else. #thinking You can’t win in life if you’re losing in your mind. #powerofthemind Your mind is a battlefield, be its commander, not its soldier. #mindset Learn to discipline your emotions, because if you don’t, your enemies will use them against you. #disciplineyourmind STOP STANDING IN YOUR OWN WAY. #youownyourmind You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can control what goes on inside. #conquerthemind Developing your ability to control what you think and feel is the secret to life.

What I did not steal must I now restore?”- Ps.69:4 #hatred Anytime you try to do something great with your life, there are always going to be others trying to bring you down. #rejection Some people have so little going on in their lives, they would rather discuss yours. #rejected Insecure people put others down to raise themselves up. #insecurepeople People only rain on your parade because they’re jealous of your sun and tired of their shade. #doubt To hate everything is to be wounded by everything. #doubters To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. #opposition It’s easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It’s a lot more difficult to perform one. #critics A critic is a legless man who teaches other people to run. #criticism Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners. #resistance There will be haters. There will be doubters. There will be non-believers. Then there will be you proving them wrong. #hostility Successful people never worry about what others are doing. #jealousy When you’re blessed, the haters come out. When you wear God’s blessings well, don’t be surprised if it draws jealousy out on people. #envy #negativevibes #negativity (at Scotts Chapel AME Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtikG8vlZqZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14w5qvqp1o5g4
