Jehovah Shamar: God Preserves   Psalm 145:20
                                                            (The Fountain of Youth Part 2)

God’s best desire for us is to live divine health (3 John 1:2). His nature is to preserve us and our nature is
to depend on him. The children of Israel experienced this walking in the wilderness, there was not a feeble
one among them (Ps. 105:37). There was
preservation from hunger and thirst (Ex 15:26,  16:13). Even the
clothes they wore were preserved. (Deut 8:4).

After Abraham heard the promise of having a child at 100 years of age, he continued to have six more
children after Issac, being
preserved to be 175 years of age (Gen 25:2, 3). At 120, Moses had good
eyesight and
preserved strength. In the Lamsa’s translation; it says his skin was unwrinkled (Deut 34:7).
Saving power was also seen with Daniel and the Hebrew boys, who stayed in the secret place of the Most
High; stopping the mouths of lions or being untouched by fire (Dan 3:27, 6:22). We seen the body of Elisha
well
preserved after death, with enough life in his bones to raise the dead (2 Kings 13:21). When you hear
and receive God’s word, it will save you from the pit and keep you young and youthful (Job 33:24, 25).

Preservation also takes place in defense from weapons and people (Is 54:17, Prov 16:7). “Hard to kill”
apostles
survived many attacks and prospered. The apostle John is good example of this; when they tried to
boil him alive, he would not boil. So they sent him to prison where he wrote the book of Revelation. And of
course, the “Untouchable” Jesus would give death the ‘slip’ knowing what the opposition was up to (John 8:
59, 10:39).

We who have received power to become the sons of God (John 1:12) and partake of God’s
divine nature
(2 Peter 1-3), renew our mind and become like Jesus having all wisdom (1 John 4:17, Rom 8:29, Col 1:9) and
understanding of the nature of God’s healing and better yet,
preservation for us (Ps 145:20). Our
confession changes from observations (
what happens when others have aged) to revelation from the Word of
what has been made available from the foundation of the world.
Jehovah Shamar. God preserves. Jesus
saves.
Seek and ye shall find (Luke 11:10).
