My Personal thoughts and directions on and about God’s word from Psalm 90 and Psalm 91.
As I have watched closely as our family has expanded to now 4 grand children it is distressing and concerning to mom and I just how sick the grand babies are seemingly most of the time as they are growing and maturing.
While Our three children experienced illnesses and personal days off from school for sickness, I guess it just seems more with the grandkids.
Many times We hear reports of sickness and I just figured It is time to go against sickness, disease, bad things, wrong things, bad relationships, etc.
Redeemed From the Curse
Galatians 3:13
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us” (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)
Based on The Curses and The Blessings that are present in Deuteronomy 28
THE BLESSINGS
1 Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God:
3“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.
4 “Blessed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.
5 “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
6 “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 “The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they will come out against you one way and will flee before you seven ways.
8 The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9 The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
10 So all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of you.
11 The Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the [m]produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12 The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully,
14 and do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Consequences of Disobedience
15 “But it shall come about, if you do not [o]obey the Lord your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I charge you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
16 “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.
17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18 “Cursed shall be the [q]offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.
19 “Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 “The Lord will send upon you curses, confusion, and rebuke, in all you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me.
21 The Lord will make the pestilence cling to you until He has consumed you from the land where you are entering to possess it.
22 The Lord will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with the sword and with blight and with mildew, and they will pursue you until you perish.
23 The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron.
24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.
25 “The Lord shall cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you will go out one way against them, but you will flee seven ways before them, and you will be an example of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Your carcasses will be food to all birds of the sky and to the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
27 “The Lord will smite you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors and with the scab and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.
28 The Lord will smite you with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart;
29 and you will grope at noon, as the blind man gropes in darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; but you shall only be oppressed and robbed continually, with none to save you.
30 You shall betroth a wife, but another man will violate her; you shall build a house, but you will not live in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but you will not use its fruit.
31 Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat of it; your donkey shall be torn away from you, and will not be restored to you; your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you will have none to save you.
32 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, while your eyes look on and yearn for them continually; but there will be nothing you can
33 A people whom you do not know shall eat up the produce of your ground and all your labors, and you will never be anything but oppressed and crushed
34 You shall be driven mad by the sight of what you see.
35 The Lord will strike you on the knees and legs with sore boils, from which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 The Lord will bring you and your king, whom you set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, wood, and stone.
37 You shall become a horror, a proverb, and a taunt among all the people where the Lord drives you.
38 “You shall bring out much seed to the field but you will gather in little, for the locust will consume it.
39 You shall plant and cultivate vineyards, but you will neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes, for the worm will devour them.
40 You shall have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off.
41 You shall have sons and daughters but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.
42 The cricket shall possess all your trees and the produce of your ground.
43 The alien who is among you shall rise above you higher and higher, but you will go down lower and lower.
44 He shall lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 “So all these curses shall come on you and pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed because you would not obey the Lord your God by keeping His commandments and His statutes which He commanded
46 They shall become a sign and a wonder on you and your descendants forever.
47 “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and a glad heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
49 “The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand,
50 a nation of fierce countenance who will have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young.
51 Moreover, it shall eat the offspring of your herd and the produce of your ground until you are destroyed, who also leaves you no grain, new wine, or oil, nor the increase of your herd or the young of your flock until they have caused you to perish.
52 It shall besiege you in all your towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it shall besiege you in all your towns throughout your land which the Lord your God has given you
53 Then you shall eat the offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you.
54 The man who is refined and very delicate among you shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife he cherishes and toward the rest of his children who remain,
55 so that he will not give even one of them any of the flesh of his children which he will eat, since he has nothing else left, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you in all your towns.
56 The refined and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and refinement, shall be hostile toward the husband she cherishes and toward her son and daughter,
57 and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her legs and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you in your towns.
58 “If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honored and awesome name, the Lord your God,
59 then the Lord will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses.
60 He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you.
61 Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, the Lord will bring on you until you are destroyed.
62 Then you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven because you did not obey the Lord your God.
63 It shall come about that as the Lord delighted over you to prosper you and multiply you, so the Lord will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you, and you will be torn from the land where you are entering to possess it.
64 Moreover, the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, wood, and stone, which you or your fathers have not known.
65 Among those nations you shall find no rest, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul.
66 So your life shall hang in doubt before you, and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.
67 In the morning you shall say, ‘Would that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Would that it were morning!’ because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you will see.
68 The Lord will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, ‘You will never see it again!’ And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.”
You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
Follow the directions, read the word, and talk to God about your position in him.
As Psalm 91 is demoed on how it works. Your position and God’s and Jesus’s Positions Too.
Commentary about Psalms 90 and 91
Even if you’re not a real planner-type person, it’s pretty hard to avoid all the plans we’re faced with almost daily.
Phone plans…internet plans…business plans…retirement plans…wedding plans… vacation plans…dinner plans…weekend plans.
Regardless of whether or not you’re the kind of person who likes to think about and plan for the future, there is one plan you should seriously consider putting on your calendar, and in your portfolio—God’s longevity plan.
In the beginning—after Adam and Eve sinned against God and He had to show them their exit plan from the Garden—we find that mankind started working the family plan, and the earth started becoming populated. Sadly, however, with more people came more sin…much more. It got so bad God decided to make changes:
“My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years” (Genesis 6:3, NLT).
You have to understand, Adam lived 930 years; Methuselah (Adam’s great, great, great, great, great-grandson) lived 969 years!
Apparently, everyone had too much time on their hands and kept getting into trouble. So after Noah—who was able to eke out 950 years, which included surviving an earth-changing flood—God’s new 120-rule kicked into effect.
But the real take away from all this is:
Where’s our 120 years?
For generations now, you’re doing well to get half of what God said would be our normal lifespan. Kenneth Copeland recently learned the average life span when he was born (1936) was 67. Now it’s 76. So we seem to be slowly inching back.
Still, even Moses, who actually got his 120 years in before leaving this life, raised the issue with God more than 3,000 years ago:
“Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:10, NLT).
Moses wrote Psalm 90 as a prayer in the form of a song to God, interceding for the Israelites who were dying before reaching their Promised Land. They had rebelled against God while crossing the desert from Egypt, so they became subject to a curse by which they would die in the desert. Only their children would enter the land (Numbers 14:26-35).
Ironically, over time, Jews and Christians alike took out of context what Moses lamented to God about and began to interpret that God’s prophet was saying we’re only guaranteed 70-80 years of life on this earth, which wasn’t true.
Again, another scheme of the devil to try and steal, kill and destroy where our health—and longevity—are concerned (John 10:10).
Thankfully, connected to our divine healthcare plan is also a divine long-term healthcare plan, which Jesus said is to “have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10, AMPC).
Moses said it like this (quoting God):
“With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation” (Psalm 91:16, NKJV).
Galatians 3:13 affirms that Jesus redeemed us from every curse, including the sickness, disease, and early death that the Israelites were living under in the desert. We’ve been liberated from the idea that we’re doing great if we make it to 70, maybe 80. Now we just have to think like it, talk like it, believe like it…and live like it!
To help you do that, realize that Moses also wrote Psalm 91 (that’s right, another song). But this one is the glorious answer to the gloomy issue he posed to God in Psalm 90.
Moses sang the problem in Psalm 90, then the answer in Psalm 91. We simply need to do the same.
Maybe Psalm 91 has been your battle plan against the enemy all along when it comes to your safety. But now, consider seeing it in a new light.
As you read, recite, pray, confess, and meditate on the first 15 verses of Psalm 91, see each verse as a step that will get you to the crowning reward God has for you—a long, satisfying life (70 years, 80 years…120).

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
Psalm 90
You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or as a watch in the night.
5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;
In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
6 In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;
Toward evening it fades and withers away.
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger
And by Your wrath, we have been dismayed.
8. You have placed our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9 For all our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a sigh.
10 for the days of our life, they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, eighty years,
Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we fly away.
11 Who understands the power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
13 Do return, O Lord; how long will it be?
And be sorry for Your servants.
14 O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the years we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants
And Your Majesty to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands.
Psalm 91, NLT:
You Say To Father GOD 1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
Jesus Says About This: 3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
JESUS SAYS ABOUT ANGEL PROTECTION 11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
FATHER GOD SAYS TO JESUS14 The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation
Directions:
1. Read My thoughts.
2. Know that you are Redeemed from the curse of The Law. The Law was what people lived by in the Old Testament years. In Deuteronomy read the Blessings and then the curses.
3. Read the 90th Psalm. Then Read the 91st Psalm.
in the 91st Psalm, you will need to become an active participant.
Directions for Psalm 91.
Say as it says in Psalm 91. verses 1 and 2
Father God, You are my (OUR) Refuge. In you and only you do I trust. To Protect me and my Family. You alone are My GOD. No other God before me (US)
MOST Importantly Believe and do pray together and agree that it is done according to God’s Promise From Matthew. KEY SCRIPTURE AGREEMENT
Matthew 18:19
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
