Psalm 121
121:001 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
121:002
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
121:003 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
121:004 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
121:005
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
121:006 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
121:007 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
121:008
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

From Black’s Law Dictionary, sixth abridged
Ingress. the act, or right of, entering. Access; entrance.
Egress. The path or opening by which a person
[I am a man, not a person] goes out; exit. The means or act of going out.
Now, look at Acts 17:28
“For in [H]im
we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your poets have said,
For we are also [H]is offspring.”
If indeed Almighty God has promised to preserve our “going out” (egress) and our “coming in” (ingress), then why would I need to apply to or ask a fictitious agency for permission to come and go, when God has already granted that right to me, and told me that He would preserve it “
from this time forth, and even for evermore[?]”
It is no different than marriage. God joins man and wife, according to the Word, but pastors, stupidly, or maliciously, invoke the “state” into each marriage they perform.
It’s time to call forth those promises, and stand on them.
I understand that most will believe this to be a “religious” post, but it is merely fact. What is written in the Word is the bond of Almighty God.
Henry Franklin
