1
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,800
You know the scriptures testify 
of the word of God that it is a 

2
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,100
double-edged sword. 
And there's many reasons for 

3
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,900
that. 
It speaks of its Precision when 

4
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:26,300
it comes to conviction and 
highlighting the things that we 

5
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:30,800
think are hidden from God, but 
as someone popularly, once said 

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,500
that it's a double-edged sword 
because it first first cuts the 

7
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,300
preacher before, it does the 
congregation. 

8
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:38,700
And that is certainly true. 
Especially in this study of 1st 

9
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,900
Samuel. 
I must testify in the presence 

10
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:45,000
of God that it has A riveting 
experience to open up this 

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,400
specific book and to just see 
the the wisdom of God and 

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,600
placing this scripture for his 
people for all time. 

13
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:56,900
You know. 
Again, you've heard me say this 

14
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:00,800
often but I'll say it again. 
God could have given us a 

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,500
Systematic Theology. 
If you ever read a Systematic 

16
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:07,800
Theology book, it's one of these
thick books that just puts 

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,700
everything in categories and 
definitions and but God doesn't 

18
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,300
do that. 
He does give us definitions. 

19
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,000
He does give us theological 
terms, but he also gives us 

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,900
stories. 
He gives us poems. 

21
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,400
He gives us journal entries and 
that is what we are reading. 

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,100
Today. 
We are reading a story, a true 

23
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:28,400
story with many, many Rich 
principles that we can apply to 

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,000
our lives. 
And so meet me in your Bibles. 

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:39,400
And first Samuel chapter 19, We 
learned last week in first 

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,300
Samuel 18 of a pivotal moment 
that would change the climate of

27
00:01:44,308 --> 00:01:48,300
this narrative for the rest of 
the book, and it was triggered. 

28
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:52,600
It was unlocked. 
It was Unleashed by Saul's 

29
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,500
jealousy, his Envy his 
insecurity, which kicked into a 

30
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:05,000
new gear and would alter the 
direction of David's life in a 

31
00:02:05,008 --> 00:02:08,000
very significant way. 
And in these Next few chapters. 

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,200
We are going to see the extent 
of this man's malice. 

33
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,900
We are going to see just how far
sin can take a person even as 

34
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,600
dignified as a king, even as 
dignified as somebody who is 

35
00:02:19,608 --> 00:02:22,300
Anointed by a well-known Godly 
profit. 

36
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:26,500
But before we move on in chapter
19, it would it would not be 

37
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:31,400
right to not track the final 
verses of 18, which we didn't 

38
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,400
cover last week because it flows
beautifully. 

39
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,100
Remember that the chapters and 
the verses are not inspired and 

40
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Sometimes these breaks can ruin 
the flow for not careful to see 

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,300
past them. 
And so before we go to chapter 

42
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,800
19, let's go to verse 17 of 
chapter 18 and let's pray before

43
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,500
we study together. 
Lord, we thank you for the 

44
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,500
written word of God, our hearts.
Come alive. 

45
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,000
When your Holy Spirit reveals to
us. 

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,100
These truths. 
We hunger for the word, the pure

47
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:08,200
word, the pure word of God. 
We pray that we would be able to

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,600
receive it with humility and 
that it would be digested by 

49
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,900
your grace so that we can apply 
it to our lives. 

50
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:17,200
Protect us from the great error 
of Herod. 

51
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,500
Who heard John gladly but never 
changed. 

52
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:26,200
Change us, sanctify us, 
transform Us by the power of 

53
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,700
your word. 
Your son said, in that beautiful

54
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,500
prayer sanctify them by your 
truth. 

55
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,900
Your word is truth. 
And so we submit ourselves to 

56
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,200
the word believing that you will
change us. 

57
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:43,100
As you see our humility and our 
desperation for righteousness. 

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,300
We come to you now in the name 
of your beloved Son. 

59
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:48,800
Jesus Christ. 
Amen. 

60
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,100
I hope you remember last week. 
Saul's jealousy was budding. 

61
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,400
And now, he's craving to 
eliminate eradicate, David from 

62
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,300
the face of the Earth, and he's 
attempted here and there, but 

63
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:08,100
his plots have not ceased. 
They have only increased in 

64
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:13,200
carnality and deception. 
And we see that here unfolding 

65
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,100
in verse 17, after David escaped
solemn, more than one occasion 

66
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,000
occasion from his Spear, and his
wrath verse seventeen thousand. 

67
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,900
Saul said to David? 
Here is my elder daughter. 

68
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,700
Mihrab. 
I will give her to you for a 

69
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,500
wife. 
Only be Valiant for me and fight

70
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:37,000
the Lord's battles force. 
All thought that not my hand be 

71
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,100
against them. 
But let the hand of the 

72
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:43,400
Philistines be against him. 
And David said to Saul, who am 

73
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,400
I? 
And who are my relatives? 

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,400
My father's clan in Israel that 
I should be son-in-law to the 

75
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,600
king. 
But at the time, when me ABS 

76
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Saul's daughter should have been
given to David. 

77
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,800
She was given to hide real, the 
me Jolla tight for a wife. 

78
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,000
So now it's always up to 
something. 

79
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200
We read it. 
We have commentary on his 

80
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,400
attitude and on his heart, but 
now he comes up with this new 

81
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,900
scheme. 
I'm going to present my eldest 

82
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:18,000
daughter as a potential wife, to
David. 

83
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,200
And it's not because I really 
want a Godly Man to marry my 

84
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,400
daughter. 
It's because I want to use my 

85
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,600
daughter as bait to position 
David in a way where he would 

86
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:32,900
jeopardize his life Behind Enemy
Lines and that he would be 

87
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,800
eliminated by somebody else. 
And I Look innocent though. 

88
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,800
I have satisfied. 
My murderous appetite. 

89
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,600
Now. 
We've been studying this book. 

90
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,700
So you should remember a certain
detail. 

91
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,800
Why should this be a question 
mark from the beginning? 

92
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,100
Why is Saul offering his 
daughter a suspicion to begin 

93
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:59,000
with? 
He already earned it. 

94
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Did you hear that? 
What was one of the rewards for 

95
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400
the person that would eliminate 
Goliath? 

96
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,100
Well, if you remember the prize 
among many was somebody would 

97
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:18,800
have the daughter for marriage 
David already earned this reward

98
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:23,000
and saw is proving that what 
he's proven already that he does

99
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800
not keep his word. 
He does not, he does not care 

100
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,500
about whether or not he is a man
of integrity concerning his 

101
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,400
promises. 
No, he should have given her up 

102
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600
already. 
But instead he uses her again. 

103
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Playing off of David's ignorance
or probably his humility to not 

104
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,200
demand for her. 
And he's saying, I want you to 

105
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200
go fight again, and then I'll 
give her to you. 

106
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,900
And David already proved 
himself, but perhaps, he and his

107
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:52,400
innocence is just seeing a 
father who really Treasures the 

108
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,100
value of his daughter. 
And so, he's thinking that he 

109
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:57,900
needs to earn or proved himself 
to be more worthy as a candidate

110
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:00,800
to be a husband for, for the 
Kings. 

111
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:04,700
Beautiful princess. 
And so he's ready to go fight. 

112
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,700
Presuming that Saul again, is 
just trying to test David, as a 

113
00:07:09,707 --> 00:07:12,900
poor man who doesn't have much 
of of a dowry to give. 

114
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:17,100
So go and fight. 
Not only is David presented with

115
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:21,500
this apparent, beautiful picture
of a father who Treasures his 

116
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:25,800
daughter, but now he's facing 
this Mirage of piety because 

117
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,900
look what he says only be 
Valiant for me and fight. 

118
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:33,800
Who's battles the Lord's battles
since when were you concerned 

119
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000
about the Lord Saul? 
Fight the Lord's battles. 

120
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,300
Now, he's using what he's done 
before. 

121
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:45,400
He's using spiritual verbiage. 
Any idea why he's using God's 

122
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,100
name in this specifically, with 
David consider. 

123
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,600
What kind of man David was, was?
He not a man after God's heart? 

124
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Was he not a Godly Man, a 
spiritual man. 

125
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,800
He was there for Saul is 
attempting to persuade David to 

126
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,200
biting by using spirituality as 
a way of convincing him that 

127
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,700
they're on the same level and 
that, and that salt is a 

128
00:08:05,707 --> 00:08:08,000
spiritual man. 
It's so conniving. 

129
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:13,200
It's so horrific, but welcome to
an illustration of the Stand up 

130
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,000
someone sin. 
They are willing to use people 

131
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,300
like Solace his daughter and 
they are even willing to invoke 

132
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:25,400
the name of God to satisfy the 
flesh. 

133
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,700
I know you fear God right? 
You fear God so you would never 

134
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,700
dare use God's name in vain to 
advance a personal agenda. 

135
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,500
But here's the, here's the Trap 
of a person who fears God, you 

136
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:40,100
think everybody else thinks that
way. 

137
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Ah, Just because you grew up in 
a God-fearing family, just 

138
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,500
because you go to a God-fearing 
church does not mean everybody. 

139
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:52,800
Fears God. 
There are people who are just as

140
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,400
easy as they are to breathe, 
just as simple as it is, to 

141
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000
drink a glass of water. 
They can call and invoke God's 

142
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,100
name on a situation though. 
It's a total lie. 

143
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,200
This is what jealousy is doing 
to this man. 

144
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,300
It's possessing him. 
It's overtaking him and his 

145
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:12,600
sinful heart has no issue 
bulldozing over people using 

146
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,500
people calling God's name on the
matter saying that they swear on

147
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,700
God's name say that they will be
innocent when they stand before.

148
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:23,600
God concerning the matter. 
It's horrific. 

149
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,400
It's terrifying. 
And that's not just for Saul. 

150
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,700
That is a warning for all men. 
And if you don't believe me, let

151
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:36,500
me ask you this. 
The David not do something 

152
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:44,000
similar later on, in his life. 
Saul is asking David to go to 

153
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,300
war, not so that he can actually
see Victory, so that David would

154
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:51,800
be killed in war ring a bell, 
okay. 

155
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,800
Because David when he was caught
or scared that he would be 

156
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,700
caught in his sin did the same 
thing to a man by the name of 

157
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:06,000
Uriah? 
And so this isn't just applied 

158
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,900
to Saul as a unique Crazy 
Character. 

159
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:12,000
Know, it's the potential of 
every human that is. 

160
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:15,600
Unfortunately, hardened by the 
deceitfulness of sin. 

161
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:20,400
But coming back to the story, 
The this heartening thing about 

162
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,800
all this is that we have 
commentary and why Saul is doing

163
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,800
this. 
We know we're told because he 

164
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,200
wants him to be slain by the 
Philistines and David were 

165
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,200
assuming is totally unaware of 
that plan burning inside of 

166
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,300
Saul's heart. 
And so we wish we can at this 

167
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:42,700
point scream into the story and 
say David, it's a trap. 

168
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:48,000
He's manipulating you. 
It's all a plan to try to get 

169
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,300
rid of you. 
And here's the thing. 

170
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,300
David as we're about to find 
out, isn't going to fall victim 

171
00:10:56,300 --> 00:11:00,300
to this scheme, and it's not 
because David was necessarily 

172
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,100
Discerning. 
Because as Discerning as you 

173
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:07,000
might be, we do not know the 
depths of the human heart. 

174
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,800
We don't know what in our own 
hearts. 

175
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,400
And we certainly don't know when
it's somebody else's heart. 

176
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,300
But here's the encouraging 
thing. 

177
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,800
David didn't necessarily need to
know. 

178
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,600
Yes, there's a responsibility of
being Discerning, but that can 

179
00:11:18,608 --> 00:11:21,400
only take you so far. 
There's something much more 

180
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,700
important than being a 
Discerning person. 

181
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,600
And as valuable as that is and 
it is this to be a man or woman 

182
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,500
who walks with God. 
Because I want to tell you 

183
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:31,400
something about David, although 
he did not know what saw was 

184
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,100
planning to do. 
God knew. 

185
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,800
God knew. 
And because God knew God would 

186
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,700
protect his servant. 
God would Shield him. 

187
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,700
God would providentially protect
and provide for him because that

188
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:55,400
is one of the Privileges of a 
person who walks with God as 

189
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,600
David dead. 
Because no matter what Saul, or 

190
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,700
10,000, saws, or even the 
nation's plan against a servant 

191
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:08,400
of God, whether it's a man or a 
woman, there is a scripture that

192
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600
relates to this and you can 
apply it to your life as you 

193
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,200
desire to obey. 
God, fully with your existence. 

194
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:17,600
Proverbs 21. 30, you don't have 
to turn there. 

195
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,600
But just listen to these amazing
words. 

196
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Why didn't Saul's plan worked 
because quote? 

197
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,800
No wisdom. 
No understanding. 

198
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:30,200
No counsel. 
Can Avail against the Lord? 

199
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,800
That's why. 
As secretive as it is, as 

200
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,000
brilliant as it might be. 
No council. 

201
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,900
No understanding. 
No wisdom. 

202
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,800
Can Avail against the Lord? 
The safest place you are in this

203
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,400
life. 
My brother is in the shadow of 

204
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,300
the Almighty. 
Stay close to the Lord and it 

205
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,600
doesn't matter what he'll 
belches out of the Abyss. 

206
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,800
It won't be able to Avail 
against you because you're in 

207
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:10,400
the hand of God. 
Notice David and verse 18 is 

208
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600
humble. 
Answer, who am I or my 

209
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,700
relatives? 
My father's clan in Israel that 

210
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:16,700
I should be son-in-law to the 
king. 

211
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:18,400
That's not false humility. 
That's true. 

212
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Humility. 
And this is a text that proves 

213
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,900
what we study last week that 
surely David. 

214
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:28,600
He passed the test of man's 
praise saw failed. 

215
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,300
Miserably When Praise went to 
David Saul crumbled because of 

216
00:13:33,308 --> 00:13:35,700
his flesh. 
And the jealousy that overtook 

217
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:38,700
him David. 
No recorded answer, but here's 

218
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:43,500
proof just because the nation 
sunk his name, didn't mean that 

219
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:48,500
he had to become a proud person.
He was able to keep his humble 

220
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:52,200
reputation before him and he was
able still to see himself as a 

221
00:13:52,208 --> 00:13:56,100
small insignificant person. 
And it doesn't matter what 

222
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:57,600
people were saying. 
There's no matter what songs 

223
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,000
they were singing. 
I Know Myself and I am small. 

224
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,400
I know my roots. 
I know what I'm capable of. 

225
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:11,500
I know where I came from. 
And this is going to be the 

226
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,200
secret too much of David's 
victory in his life, especially 

227
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,400
early on. 
But do these words sound 

228
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,100
familiar to you? 
Think, back think, way back in 

229
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,700
the same book, but think do 
these words sound familiar to 

230
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:26,400
anybody. 
Then anybody say very similar 

231
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:33,100
things about himself. 
Ah, go to 1st Samuel 921 when we

232
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,800
were introduced to Saul and 
notice what Saul said, when 

233
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Samuel came to tell him that he 
would be the king of Israel. 

234
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:44,800
Saul said in first Samuel, 921 
Saul answered. 

235
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,700
Am I not have Benjamin a'ight. 
The least of the tribes of 

236
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:53,500
Israel and is not my clan the 
humblest of all the clans of The

237
00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:56,400
Tribe of Benjamin. 
Why then have you spoken to me 

238
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,500
in this way? 
That's a warning to us. 

239
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,600
Saul said, very similar things 
to David but look house all 

240
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,500
ended up. 
See, it's one thing to be 

241
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:10,900
humble. 
It's another thing to stay 

242
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:14,300
humble. 
Humility, like any other virtue 

243
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:16,500
in our lives. 
Must be nurtured and protected? 

244
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:20,500
Let's it becomes corrupted. 
And so we have to understand 

245
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:24,600
that we can all start in that 
place, but it must be 

246
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,100
continually watched there must 
be surveillance in our heart and

247
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:33,600
how we respond to things and we 
must judge ourselves. 

248
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,500
As Paul said, lest we be judge, 
judge yourself. 

249
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,300
Examine yourself, question 
yourself. 

250
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:41,500
And then when you discover 
something as you were honestly, 

251
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:44,000
trying to see what's truly 
there, bring it before the Lord 

252
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:47,500
and let him deal with it. 
When I read this about David, I 

253
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,800
said, praise God for David, but 
I thought salsa the same thing. 

254
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,700
So we need to continually be 
filled with the spirit as we 

255
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:58,300
just heard earlier. 
Being filled with the spirit is 

256
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,900
not a one-time deal. 
Can I ask you something brother 

257
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,300
and sister? 
When's the last time you ask the

258
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:05,900
Holy Spirit to fill you? 
When's the last time you got 

259
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,100
before God, before you went to 
work in your car, as you had 

260
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,200
your cup of cup? 
When's the last time you said, 

261
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,300
as I fill this cup with 
wonderful coffee? 

262
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,700
Holy Spirit, fill my heart with 
yourself. 

263
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,300
See that command in the Greek is
not a one-time thing. 

264
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:23,400
It's not a flu shot that you get
that command is a continual 

265
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,700
present tense. 
You're always asking your always

266
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:31,100
seeking to be filled with the 
Holy Spirit and we come to verse

267
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:35,200
19, but at the time, when mihrab
Saul's daughter should have been

268
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,500
given to David. 
So clearly he passed the test 

269
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,300
clearly he accomplished what saw
asked of him, but then salt pull

270
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,000
something that we should not be 
surprised concerning Saul. 

271
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,800
When he was supposed to give his
daughter. 

272
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,900
He not only withheld, the 
daughter, he gave the GAO to 

273
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:59,200
another guy altogether. 
Any idea why he did that? 

274
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,400
Everybody's on point in this 
Bible study tonight. 

275
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,500
Very good. 
He wanted to wound even in 

276
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,900
another way. 
So, I'm going to make you a 

277
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:19,599
promise. 
And I'm not going to keep the 

278
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:23,300
promise. 
With the hopes that I will 

279
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:27,300
frustrate you. 
Maybe even make you jealous, 

280
00:17:28,099 --> 00:17:31,800
right? 
Because this man knows what it's

281
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,200
like to be corrupted by 
jealousy. 

282
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,100
Let me see if he'll work on 
David. 

283
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,900
So I'm going to give my daughter
to someone else and I'm going to

284
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:45,100
even invite you to the wedding. 
So that, while that bride is 

285
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:48,600
there, you're going to watch and
realize that should be mine. 

286
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,700
She should belong to me. 
And let's see. 

287
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:55,600
What's going to happen to you 
David. 

288
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:59,500
Let's see if you're going to 
embarrass yourself in front of 

289
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:00,800
Israel. 
Let's see if you're going to 

290
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,200
retaliate. 
So now I have an excuse to get 

291
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,000
back at UCL devilish. 
This is We do not know the 

292
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,400
extent of our wickedness. 
We are very creative. 

293
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,900
In fact, God judges, his people 
at one point and says that he 

294
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:20,100
credits them in a very ugly way.
They come up with new ways of 

295
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:27,100
being Wicked. 
But David doesn't respond to 

296
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:28,800
this David. 
Doesn't react to this. 

297
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,900
He doesn't submit to the flesh. 
Why? 

298
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:34,100
Because we just learned his 
humility. 

299
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,200
He already knew that he wasn't 
deserving to be the king, 

300
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,700
son-in-law. 
It's very difficult to offend a 

301
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:45,800
humble person. 
Humility is a great shield from 

302
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,700
many offenses. 
But when you think you are, 

303
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:52,700
deserving of certain things and 
things don't come your way. 

304
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:56,200
You open yourself up to a fence 
and if it's not taken care of 

305
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,100
your open yourself up to 
bitterness frustration. 

306
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:02,400
Jealousy, Envy, all these ugly 
things, but David was solo 

307
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800
already. 
David's face was already on the 

308
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,000
ground. 
So when saw try to kick him, 

309
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,100
he's like, where are you going 
to kick me? 

310
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:09,700
I'm already. 
I'm already down. 

311
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,200
And so humility. 
Here is David Shield it 

312
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,100
protected him from so much. 
He did not see himself worthy to

313
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:20,500
begin with. 
So when it was not given to him.

314
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:25,200
He was not offended. 
Can I ask you something? 

315
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:28,600
Have you ever offended a dead 
person? 

316
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,700
Have you ever went to the 
graveyard and asked those corpse

317
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,000
six feet under? 
Hey I have you had anybody 

318
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,200
offend you this past week. 
Very difficult to frustrate a 

319
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:45,000
person who's dead. 
Die to yourself. 

320
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,800
It'll be very difficult for 
people to get under your skin. 

321
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,400
I read something that made me 
smile and it was a joke, I 

322
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,900
guess, but I think it's true. 
And somebody said, you know, 

323
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:02,700
it's very difficult for what 
people say to me to offend me, 

324
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:05,000
because I sing worse. 
Things about myself, Sunday 

325
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,300
morning. 
I'm a wretch and I'm a sinner 

326
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,600
and I'm in darkness and I'm in 
blind. 

327
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:15,400
All these wonderful things. 
So what are you going to say? 

328
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,500
That's going to offend? 
David's humility protected him. 

329
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:24,000
From the tactics and the scheme,
see what Saul did to David would

330
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,600
have worked on Saul. 
Because Saul was in the flesh. 

331
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,200
But how do you take down a man? 
Filled with the spirit? 

332
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,400
It's very, very difficult and 
Satan has great difficulty. 

333
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,600
And so saw in these to come up 
with new ideas. 

334
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:45,100
So verse 20, Now, Saul's 
daughter, Michal Love David. 

335
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:49,200
And they told Saul and the 
thing, pleased him. 

336
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Oh my God. 
Loves David now. 

337
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,300
Oh, wonderful and it's not 
because there's the potential of

338
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:57,200
his daughter. 
Marrying. 

339
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,800
A Godly, Man. 
It's because he has fresh bait 

340
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,100
to work with. 
Saw thought in verse 21. 

341
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:10,800
Let me give her to him that she 
may be a snare for him and that 

342
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,600
the hand of the Philistines. 
Maybe against him there, for 

343
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:15,700
Saul said to David a second 
time. 

344
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:20,500
You shall now be my son-in-law 
and saw commanded his servants 

345
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:24,200
speak to David and private and 
say behold the King has Delight 

346
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,900
in you really? 
The King has Delight in you. 

347
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:31,300
Oh, yeah, and all his servants 
love you. 

348
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,800
Now then become the king's 
son-in-law, and saw a servant 

349
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,200
spoke. 
Those words in the ears of 

350
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,600
David. 
So I was like this whole thing, 

351
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,600
like, hey, David come and they 
put them in a separate room 

352
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,600
table. 
Did you hear how he feels about 

353
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,100
you? 
It's like nobody talked about. 

354
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,800
She's in love with you, man. 
She's talking about you. 

355
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,600
She even went to her dad about 
you and Saul loves it. 

356
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,100
He wants you to marry her. 
He wants you to be his 

357
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:57,300
son-in-law. 
David said there's a seem to you

358
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:59,800
a little thing to become the 
king's son-in-law since I am a 

359
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,800
poor man, and I have no 
reputation. 

360
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,400
And the Servants of Saul told 
him thus. 

361
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:11,400
And so did David speak. 
This went perfectly as Saul 

362
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,300
would have planned it. 
He knew that David was a man. 

363
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:17,500
That was humble. 
He knew that he was a man that 

364
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,600
would not just receive this 
gift, but that he would work for

365
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,700
it that he would prove himself 
for it, but he was a poor man. 

366
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:25,800
He didn't have money to give you
that. 

367
00:22:25,808 --> 00:22:28,800
Have a great Dowry to offer so 
he would do what he did before. 

368
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,900
He would be surely willing to go
to battle again. 

369
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,600
And so sauce ready to give him a
new mission. 

370
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:39,500
That would be even more 
dangerous for David. 

371
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,900
You know, what's so amazing. 
Is the words that saw has 

372
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:47,800
concerning his daughter? 
Look at verse 21 against off. 

373
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,700
I let me give her to him. 
That she may be a snare for him.

374
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Now, some would limit that to 
the fact that she would be the 

375
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,700
Trap that would set David up to 
be an object of an arrow, or 

376
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:07,000
sort of some sort in battle. 
I think it's deeper than that. 

377
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:13,600
I think Saul knew something 
about the character of his 

378
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,200
daughter, meow. 
I think he knew something about 

379
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,300
her attitude. 
Something about her spirituality

380
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:26,600
even. 
And so yes, the grander purpose 

381
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,300
would be to have him killed. 
But if he if he overcame that 

382
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:35,100
like he did last time now he 
would be trapped in marriage to 

383
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:40,500
me, Kyle. 
It's kind of hard to believe, 

384
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,100
right? 
Not really. 

385
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:47,100
Does this prove to be true later
on in David story? 

386
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Think now? 
Think now of a very famous story

387
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,200
in David's life and a response 
from Michal. 

388
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,700
That wasn't very favorable on 
her. 

389
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:04,300
Do you remember, do you remember
when David restored the ark back

390
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:08,500
to Jerusalem? 
And as David was dancing and 

391
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:12,500
worshiping before the Lord. 
Somebody was looking out of the 

392
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:16,200
window. 
Let me read it to you and second

393
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,600
Samuel 6 verse 16. 
This is farther down the road 

394
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,600
with David story, but I want you
to see me House response to 

395
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,100
David's worship. 
As the Ark of the Lord came into

396
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:33,000
the city of David, me how the 
daughter of Saul looked out of 

397
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,200
the window and saw King, David, 
leaping and dancing before the 

398
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Lord hears a response and she 
despised him in her heart. 

399
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,600
She criticized him. 
He comes home and she wants to 

400
00:24:48,608 --> 00:24:53,500
start a fight. 
Because he helped himself to 

401
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:56,900
just an average worshiper. 
He stripped himself of his Royal

402
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:59,500
robes and he just became an 
average-looking Israelite 

403
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:02,400
dancing before the presence of 
God because he has restored the 

404
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,700
presence of God to its rightful 
place. 

405
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,400
And out of all the people who 
complain in the midst of all 

406
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:14,100
this celebration was the wife. 
The wife complaining about, what

407
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,800
about his worship? 
About his Devotion to the Lord 

408
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,800
about his Zeal about his 
passion. 

409
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,500
Makes me wonder, listen 
carefully. 

410
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,500
It makes me wonder. 
Why me? 

411
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:36,000
How love David to begin with? 
Why didn't he have loved David? 

412
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:38,300
We read earlier. 
That's all of David. 

413
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:40,200
That didn't prove to be genuine 
love. 

414
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,200
Why did mija I love David. 
Well, think about who David was 

415
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,100
honestly, I'm just asking just 
being transparent. 

416
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,700
This isn't dogmatic with me. 
How love David if he was still a

417
00:25:50,708 --> 00:25:54,700
shepherd. 
Or is it because everybody's 

418
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:58,100
singing David's name, or is it 
because he was a good-looking 

419
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,200
ready, Country? 
Boy. 

420
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,500
What was it? 
That attracted me? 

421
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:02,700
How the David was that his 
popularity was it? 

422
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:04,200
Because he had a standing 
presence, was it? 

423
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,700
Because he was known, who knows?
But I can tell you this, for 

424
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:09,600
certain when it came to David 
spirituality. 

425
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,000
She was offended by it, instead 
of attracted to it. 

426
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,500
We're going to get to this later
on about how the wrong person in

427
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:22,900
your life, can actually be a 
trap instead of a blessing. 

428
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:29,000
But we scroll down. 
Because we still have to get to 

429
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,300
19. 
Hope you don't have to go 

430
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:37,700
anywhere tonight. 
Saul Saul, Saul finds his 

431
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:40,400
daughter in love with this man. 
Know something about me. 

432
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,900
Ha. 
So it's like a win-win. 

433
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,700
If David dies in battle. 
That's the best ideal. 

434
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,400
If they even wins in battle. 
He stuck with Michal and she's 

435
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,500
gonna be a snare to him. 
Like, this is diabolical. 

436
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:58,500
So, the instruction is go out 
and I don't want to bride-price,

437
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:00,700
but I want 200 foreskins of the 
Philistines. 

438
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
I want you to go out and kill 
these men and I want you to 

439
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,300
essentially circumcise him, here
is solid, gehen trying to be all

440
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:13,200
spiritual and try to take God's 
sign of the Covenant and 

441
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,100
circumcision and apply it to the
scene. 

442
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:17,600
So, David, who's a man after 
God's Own Heart would be like, 

443
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,000
yeah, this man is really he's 
really after the things of God. 

444
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,200
David succeeds. 
Not only does he succeed. 

445
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,600
He he goes above and beyond the 
expectation. 

446
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:32,300
He comes back gives them 200 
instead of 100. 

447
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:36,400
Saul gives his daughter Michal 
for a wife. 

448
00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:40,600
Look at verse 28, but when saw 
saw and knew that the Lord was 

449
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,800
with David and that Michal 
Saul's daughter, loved them saw 

450
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,800
was even more afraid of David. 
So saw was David's enemy 

451
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,700
continually. 
Now, look at this and the 

452
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:54,800
commanders of the Philistines 
came out to battle and as often 

453
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,800
as they came out, David had more
success than all the Servants of

454
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,800
Saul, so that his name was 
highly esteemed. 

455
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:08,200
Everything that saw planned, 
literally backfired on him. 

456
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:12,000
He tried to get him killed. 
It didn't work. 

457
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,400
He tried to even make him look 
unpopular by trying to get 

458
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,900
jealousy out of him and envy. 
Try to get him to retaliate, 

459
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:21,500
make a scene so that it can go 
on the tabloids and Israel 

460
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,800
didn't work. 
In fact, the opposite happened, 

461
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,100
when he tried to tarnish his 
name and eradicate, his name, 

462
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:33,000
God, exalted his name, and it 
became highly esteemed. 

463
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,900
Why Saul? 
My friend? 

464
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,700
You're not fighting against a 
man. 

465
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:40,800
You're fighting against God's 
man. 

466
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,700
You're fighting against God. 
And not only a man, you're 

467
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:49,000
fighting. 
It's a humble man, a man who 

468
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,700
knows that he is no reputation 
that he is low. 

469
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:53,600
You're fighting at such a 
person. 

470
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:54,800
What does the scripture say 
that? 

471
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,700
He brings down the proud and he 
exalts the humble. 

472
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:01,600
So, while you are trying to 
bring down a man, God is 

473
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,400
bringing him up. 
Who do you thinks gonna win? 

474
00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:10,600
And it's a picture of Jesus 
Christ who humbled himself. 

475
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,100
Even to the point of death death
on a cross. 

476
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,500
And God has highly exalted him 
and made his name, the name 

477
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:22,500
above. 
Every other name, that at the 

478
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:25,000
name of Jesus Christ. 
Every knee should bow in heaven 

479
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,600
and on Earth, and under the 
Earth. 

480
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:31,900
And so he received David though.
He was lowly though. 

481
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:38,200
He was the object of scorn and 
hatred and envy like the son of 

482
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:43,800
David was exalted. 
And made to be highly esteemed. 

483
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:49,600
Chapter 19. 
Stretch it out. 

484
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:57,000
After David's growing success, 
you know, else was growing this 

485
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,100
hatred for him. 
This jealousy now is getting up 

486
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,100
out of control. 
It's it can't be constraint. 

487
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:07,700
It can't be concealed. 
It's now bubbling over. 

488
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:12,500
It is going to get very ugly 
because we read just two verses 

489
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:15,500
ago. 
That David became Saul's enemy 

490
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:21,900
continually. 
That's how scary jealousy is. 

491
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:24,400
It's amazing how much the Bible 
gives attention to this. 

492
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,600
A whole story line about 
jealousy, makes you wonder This 

493
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,400
jealousy was so powerful when it
was harbored and saws hard that 

494
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,400
it was able to make listen to 
this. 

495
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:40,200
A man of God, anointed of the 
Holy Spirit, humble and 

496
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,800
successful, and Incredibly 
gifted to be an enemy in 

497
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,900
someone's eyes. 
To be an enemy in. 

498
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:52,400
Someone's eyes, instead of a 
partner, instead of a friend, 

499
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:56,900
instead of a colabor and the 
gospel know you are standing in 

500
00:30:56,900 --> 00:30:58,900
my way. 
I will treat you as I would 

501
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:04,200
treat my enemy. 
But more than that this jealousy

502
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,700
got. 
So out of control that it's not 

503
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:09,800
subtle anymore. 
Sea salt try to do it secretly 

504
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,200
for so long. 
He had the spear in his hand and

505
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,300
he throws it at David while he's
under this influence of a 

506
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:19,900
tormenting spirit. 
So people can say he's mad, it's

507
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:21,800
the spirit so he can give that 
excuse. 

508
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,600
He tried to put him an enemy 
line in front of Enemy Lines, to

509
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,500
try to get rid of him. 
So that if people see David 

510
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:30,300
dead, they can't Point The Saul.
He's trying to do all these 

511
00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:34,400
things secretly and now all for 
a sudden. 

512
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:36,700
It's about to become very 
public. 

513
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,700
Saul's murderous mindset is not 
secret of any more. 

514
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:45,700
It's becoming more obvious to 
those who are closest to him and

515
00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:47,700
listen to this. 
It's like a flesh-eating 

516
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,600
disease. 
Leave it, untreated long enough 

517
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,700
and it begins to develop an 
odor. 

518
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,600
And that's how the sins of the 
spirit work. 

519
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:00,000
The things that make the sins of
the spirit, those hidden 

520
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,200
attitude. 
So dangerous. 

521
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,200
Is that at first, they're not 
recognizable. 

522
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,100
They're not recognizable. 
They're hidden Pride. 

523
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:09,500
It stays hidden for it. 
Starts with a seed form, an 

524
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:16,000
embryo anger, jealousy and envy,
especially but leave that thing,

525
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,900
untreated, just like cancer and 
eventually it's going to become 

526
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:22,800
noticeable. 
And those are going to those 

527
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,700
people around, you are closest 
to you, will be able to 

528
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:28,800
recognize it smell it, and see 
it, because you did not take the

529
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,500
time to come before the great 
physician of your soul to deal 

530
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:36,100
with it. 
And this is what's about to 

531
00:32:36,108 --> 00:32:39,800
happen to him as we read in 
verse 1, Saul spoke to Jonathan 

532
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,800
his son and to all his servants 
that they should kill David. 

533
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,300
Now he's talking about it. 
Now, he's on lunch break with 

534
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:53,100
his employees in his own son. 
And he's like, giving them 

535
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,000
reasons to actually kill David. 
Now. 

536
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,700
He's not looking for the enemy 
to do now. 

537
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:01,200
He's looking for those who work 
with David to do it. 

538
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,300
Because that's what jealousy 
does. 

539
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:05,500
Listen, very carefully. 
This is what jealousy does 

540
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:08,000
jealousy. 
When it is not restrained by the

541
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,400
power of the Holy Spirit. 
When is not destroyed by God's 

542
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,300
grace, not only overtakes, you 
it convinces you that you need 

543
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:18,500
to convince others to join you 
on the quest of being jealous 

544
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:22,000
for that person. 
What jealousy does to a person 

545
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,400
is that it eventually makes 
other people or attempts to make

546
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:32,000
other people turn on you. 
And so that you can have others,

547
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,800
join you on that quest of 
overcoming, that person that you

548
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,400
want to overcome. 
So Javis people start 

549
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,800
bad-mouthing other people, 
especially the object of their 

550
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,300
jealousy and they talk to their 
closest friends, usually or 

551
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,900
their relatives. 
They start saying things about 

552
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:50,000
them and smearing their 
character and talking about 

553
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,100
talking about the way they walk 
into church. 

554
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:57,100
And maybe the way they do this 
and do that and and then they 

555
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,200
add usually to it. 
I'm a Discerning person. 

556
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,400
So I usually can tell All these 
different crazy things, right? 

557
00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:05,800
And what they're trying to do is
they're trying to win other 

558
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,900
people to hate them. 
So that they don't feel as 

559
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:15,300
guilty to hate them. 
So they can have a better chance

560
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,000
of doing, what Satan would love 
to do and that's destroying 

561
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,199
innocent believer. 
This is really serious. 

562
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,600
And here's the thing, Jonathan 
responds in a way that might 

563
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,800
have shocked saw but Jonathan 
saw son, delighted much in David

564
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:35,699
and Jonathan told David saw, my 
father seeks to kill you. 

565
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,300
Therefore be on your guard in 
the morning. 

566
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,500
Stay in a secret place and hide 
yourself. 

567
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:45,199
And I will go out and stand 
beside my father in the field 

568
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,800
where you are and I will speak 
to my father about you. 

569
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:49,900
And if I learn anything, I will 
tell you. 

570
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,199
Jonathan made a covenant with 
David. 

571
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:04,300
Jonathan loved David. 
And love warns. 

572
00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:10,700
Love warns. 
And what's incredible about? 

573
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:12,300
Jonathan, we'll get to him in a 
minute. 

574
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:15,000
He stands in Greek contrast with
the servants. 

575
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,400
The servants heard the same news
that Jonathan heard and they 

576
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,000
knew David just as well Jonathan
did. 

577
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,200
But here's the thing, when the 
servants heard. 

578
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,800
There was no record of them 
informing David of the potential

579
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,900
looming threat that would come 
from Saul. 

580
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Do you know why for the same 
reason? 

581
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,800
Why many Christians today don't 
stand for truth because they're 

582
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,700
afraid for their own life. 
They're afraid of their own 

583
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:45,900
positions and their own jobs. 
And so, you know what they did 

584
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:47,600
again? 
What many Christians do? 

585
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,300
They took a neutral position? 
That's how you feel about David.

586
00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:54,500
Okay. 
I'm not getting involved in 

587
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:59,200
this. 
But Jonathan was willing to 

588
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,000
stand up to his own. 
Dad. 

589
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,300
Do you know why, not? 
Because Jonathan loved David 

590
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:07,300
more than he loves Saul. 
It's because Jonathan love 

591
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:09,700
truth. 
That's why. 

592
00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:15,200
Many people today claiming that 
they love truth. 

593
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,700
Can I tell you how your love for
truth will be tested? 

594
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,800
When you have to make a stance 
that will cost you relationships

595
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:28,200
or position. 
And God will put you to the test

596
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,200
and he's very creative and 
trying to see where you stand 

597
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,700
because we think it just about 
if Isis comes into our 

598
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:36,800
neighborhood and puts us on our 
knees, as I'll cut your head off

599
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:43,300
If you deny Christ, no, no. 
Truth is much broader than just 

600
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:47,200
gospel reality. 
Truth is truth across the board.

601
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:51,600
See, we limit that. 
That wonderful blessing from, 

602
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,100
Jesus blessed. 
Are you? 

603
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:55,600
When you are persecuted for 
righteousness sake, you know how

604
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,000
we replace? 
It blessed. 

605
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,700
Are you, when people persecute 
you for the gospels sake, he 

606
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:01,500
didn't say that. 
He said for righteousness sake, 

607
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:06,300
So whatever is under the 
category of righteous, you are 

608
00:37:06,300 --> 00:37:08,800
blessed if you are persecuted 
because of that. 

609
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:17,100
So we think that if we stand for
being the church and gathering 

610
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:21,400
together in this age, which says
don't gather and we are slanted 

611
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,100
for that. 
That's not persecution. 

612
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,300
Why not? 
It's righteous. 

613
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,400
God. 
Commanded that we do it. 

614
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,100
So blessed. 
Are you when you are persecuted 

615
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:37,500
for righteousness sake, And so 
David. 

616
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,200
Is seeing the true love of a 
friend. 

617
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:45,600
But Jonathan is showing not just
a love for a friend, a love for 

618
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,600
what is right. 
If I can speak to you, as I 

619
00:37:48,607 --> 00:37:54,100
would speak to a brother. 
A family member, somebody dear 

620
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,800
and close to me. 
I hope what I'm about to say, 

621
00:37:57,100 --> 00:38:01,200
will never ever leave your mind,
and that you will remember, and 

622
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,900
it will echo down the corridors 
of your conscience for the rest 

623
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:09,700
of your existence. 
Stand for truth, no matter what 

624
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:17,000
it cost you. 
Stand for what is right, no 

625
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:24,100
matter the price. 
Even if it's your own family. 

626
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,700
Jonathan. 
Is willing to stand for truth. 

627
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:34,700
Even at the expense of 
fracturing, the relationship he 

628
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:37,900
had with his dad, you want proof
that he actually damage the 

629
00:38:37,908 --> 00:38:39,800
relationship with his father for
the sake of Truth. 

630
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,600
Go to chapter 20 and look at 
verse 33. 

631
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,800
Then Jonathan answered Saul his 
father. 

632
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,800
Why should he be put to death? 
What has he done? 

633
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,700
But Saul hurled? 
His spear at him to strike him. 

634
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:03,500
You imagine that. 
So Jonathan knew that his father

635
00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:06,400
was determined to put David to 
death. 

636
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,000
In fact, if you scroll back, 
look at verse 30, then saws 

637
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,800
anger was kindled against 
Jonathan and he sent them. 

638
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:17,000
You son of a perverse rebellious
woman. 

639
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:20,300
Do I not know that you have 
chosen the son of Jesse to your 

640
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:23,700
own chain and to the shame of 
your mother's nakedness. 

641
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,600
Saul knew that he was, his son 
was willing to stand with David,

642
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,900
even at the expense of the 
father-son relationship. 

643
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,300
And it's not because he loved 
David's presence more than his 

644
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:41,800
father's. 
It was because of Truth. 

645
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:51,400
Stand for what is right, no 
matter what it cost you because 

646
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,900
there is a far greater price for
standing. 

647
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:56,900
What is wrong, no matter what 
relationships or positions, you 

648
00:39:56,900 --> 00:40:05,300
keep with it. 
And if you're not convinced that

649
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:08,400
Jonathan is standing for truth, 
just scroll down here. 

650
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,300
And look at verse 4. 
Of chapter 19. 

651
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:17,800
And Jonathan spoke. 
Well of David to Saul his father

652
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,500
and said to him. 
Let not the king sin against his

653
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:24,500
servant David because he has not
sinned against you, and because 

654
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:26,400
his deeds have brought good to 
you. 

655
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,500
For, he took his life in his 
hand and he's struck down the 

656
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:32,500
Philistine of the Lord worked a 
great salvation for all Israel. 

657
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,300
You saw it, a great salvation 
for officers. 

658
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:39,700
Are you saw and rejoice? 
Why then will you sin against 

659
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,000
innocent Blood by killing David 
without cause? 

660
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,600
He's using language from the 
law. 

661
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,300
He's reminding his own. 
Dad of the scriptures. 

662
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,800
Jonathan is not just courageous 
because he went to David. 

663
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,900
He says, hey look, the guy is 
trying to kill you. 

664
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:59,300
I've heard it with my own ears 
and I'm willing to put my own 

665
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:02,200
life at risk to warn you because
I know you're innocent. 

666
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,100
I know God has called you and 
anointed you. 

667
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:08,600
His courage was seen the fact 
that he tried to preach the sin 

668
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,200
out of his dad's heart. 
He stood up to his own dad in 

669
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,400
kindness and wisdom. 
Yes and boldness but also in a 

670
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,400
spirit of humility. 
He reminds him of the acts of 

671
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,200
David. 
He reminds him of the situation.

672
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,500
This is not it's not worthy for 
him to be killed. 

673
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:27,000
You're going to, you're going to
put more guilt on yourself that.

674
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,100
So, he stands up to his father. 
And this is admire herbal, 

675
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:39,000
especially on a day like today. 
And what's amazing here is 

676
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,100
Saul's answer in verse 6. 
We read here and saw listen to 

677
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:49,100
the voice of Jonathan. 
Sauce War. 

678
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:52,600
As the Lord lives. 
He shall not be put to death. 

679
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:54,200
Wow. 
Now. 

680
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,300
We that check this out 47 and 
Jonathan called David, Jonathan 

681
00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:01,000
calls David and Jonathan 
reported him. 

682
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,900
All these things and Jonathan 
brought David to Saul and he was

683
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:09,600
in his presence as before. 
Don't you wish the book ended 

684
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:16,000
there? 
Seemed like it worked. 

685
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:23,000
How wonderful. 
Jonathan is convicting message 

686
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,500
actually got ahold of salt. 
And not only that sauce, swear 

687
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:30,300
by the lord's name. 
It seems like in a genuine way, 

688
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,600
but we have David being restored
to his original position where 

689
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,500
he was in close proximity with 
salt. 

690
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:40,700
This is MM, is reconciliation. 
This is a wonderful restoration.

691
00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:45,200
Jonathan was used by God to save
David saw, and all the Kingdom 

692
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,200
of Israel for much unnecessary. 
Chaos. 

693
00:42:50,100 --> 00:42:54,900
Don't get too excited. 
Because I read that and part of 

694
00:42:54,908 --> 00:42:56,500
me, you know, let the little 
bit. 

695
00:42:56,500 --> 00:43:00,200
Yeah, look at this, but then I 
reexamine the words. 

696
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,700
Does that sound like true 
repentance? 

697
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,500
Saul Suarez? 
The Lord lives. 

698
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:12,500
He shall not be put to death. 
I don't know. 

699
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,100
I don't see any indication of 
conviction of his jealousy. 

700
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:23,000
Of his hatred. 
I don't see any crying out to 

701
00:43:23,008 --> 00:43:27,600
God for his. 
His rebellious acts and his 

702
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:29,700
inconsistencies and is broken. 
Vows. 

703
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:33,800
I just see a person that agrees 
not to kill somebody else. 

704
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,200
Whatever joy, we knew about 
Saul's very short-lived. 

705
00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:46,500
Because even though he comes 
back into the presence of Saul, 

706
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,600
a different presence is going to
overtake Saul. 

707
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:56,300
Do you know why? 
Because saws repentance dealt 

708
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:59,200
with this symptom of sin and not
the root of sin. 

709
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,400
The symptom was I want to kill 
David. 

710
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:09,000
The route was you're jealous. 
And how Saul is treating his sin

711
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,500
as how many people in the church
are treating their sin. 

712
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:13,600
And how many people are 
counseling? 

713
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,900
People regarding their sin. 
They want to put to rest the 

714
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:21,200
symptoms and they don't want to 
do heart surgery by the word of 

715
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,000
God. 
You see what I'm saying? 

716
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:28,400
Saul's issue was not necessarily
that he wanted to kill David. 

717
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:31,800
That was the branch. 
That was the fruit of something 

718
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,700
much deeper and more 
significant. 

719
00:44:35,700 --> 00:44:38,700
And unless we get to the heart 
of the matter, no pun intended. 

720
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:42,400
Likes. 
All many people who profess 

721
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:48,500
Christ will live their Christian
journey and the cycle of repent 

722
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:51,500
cry. 
Go back to it, repent cry. 

723
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:54,300
And when I mean repair my 
meeting real repentance, false 

724
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:59,900
repentance like this. 
Many people just apologized for 

725
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:02,000
their Outburst. 
They apologized for their 

726
00:45:03,900 --> 00:45:09,700
swimming and lust for a season. 
And they just want the pastor to

727
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:11,700
put their hand around their back
and say it's okay. 

728
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:14,200
Just don't do it again. 
Why don't we do some heart 

729
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,700
surgery? 
Get on the table, and let God do

730
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:20,200
some work. 
Why don't you do something like 

731
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,700
Fast a little bit? 
If you really want to get that 

732
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:26,800
cancer out of you. 
And let God go, deep. 

733
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,600
Be honest with yourself. 
Be honest before God, and let 

734
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:34,800
him bring victory in your life. 
Saul doesn't come before God saw

735
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,200
just promises his son that he 
won't stick his spear in the 

736
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,300
face of David. 
Doesn't prove much because 

737
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:44,400
Saul's vow doesn't hold. 
Wait. 

738
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:45,800
Why? 
Because again, you're dealing 

739
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,200
with the symptom. 
You're not dealing with the real

740
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,700
issue here. 
And so all it's going to take is

741
00:45:50,700 --> 00:45:53,000
a little bit of time and the 
right Temptation for you to go 

742
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,100
right back into and that's 
exactly what happens. 

743
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,200
Because look what happens in 
verse 8 and there was war again.

744
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:01,100
It's all is calm, all is bright.
Nothing. 

745
00:46:01,100 --> 00:46:03,900
Nothing strange is happening. 
No eruptions. 

746
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:06,800
No plans. 
No schemes and Davis is doing 

747
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,900
what he's called to do. 
Be Soldier, be General. 

748
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,800
So War breaks out and David went
and fought with the Philistines 

749
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,800
and struck them with a great 
blow. 

750
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,000
So that they fled, before my 
another awesome campaign 

751
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,500
completed by the anointed, man 
of God. 

752
00:46:20,500 --> 00:46:22,500
And guess what? 
This is going to trigger Saul. 

753
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,200
Look at the next verse, then a 
harmful Spirit from the Lord 

754
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,200
Came Upon Saul when when did it 
happen? 

755
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,800
When did it happen after the 
victory? 

756
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,400
After people start talking about
David again, after the news came

757
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,700
to town that the Philistines 
were defeated once more and push

758
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:42,700
back that much further. 
Saw, here's this thing and 

759
00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:45,700
because of that, he didn't deal 
with the heart issue. 

760
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,200
He didn't get real with God. 
It flared up again. 

761
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,000
So what happens? 
Harmful, Spirit comes upon him? 

762
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,700
And the reason why the harmful 
Spirit was there, because he did

763
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:02,300
not cry out like David and take,
not your Holy Spirit from me. 

764
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,300
There's no language that. 
There's no proof of that. 

765
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,200
We see here, then a harmful 
Spirit from the Lord Came Upon 

766
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,500
saw as he sat in his house, with
his spear in it. 

767
00:47:12,500 --> 00:47:15,600
So he's ready already. 
Like, it's right there in his 

768
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,100
hand. 
And he's looking at David. 

769
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:21,500
He's already inflamed by Envy by
what he just heard about. 

770
00:47:21,500 --> 00:47:24,300
David, David's their humbly 
serving as a therapist and 

771
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:29,400
playing that beautiful harp. 
It's all sought to pin David to 

772
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,900
the wall with the spear, but he 
eluded Saul so that he struck 

773
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:37,600
the spear into the wall and 
David fled, and escaped that 

774
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,800
night. 
What's the difference? 

775
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,000
What's the difference between 
David's reaction here than the 

776
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,100
first time? 
Anybody notice the difference? 

777
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,100
He fled. 
Last time we heard that he 

778
00:47:56,100 --> 00:48:00,300
evaded Saul twice. 
So Saul did it once David. 

779
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:03,900
Leaves the room. 
Let some calm down for a little 

780
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:06,900
bit, his servants common and put
them to rest of the spiritist 

781
00:48:06,900 --> 00:48:10,000
tormenting all and solves their 
probably foaming at the mouth 

782
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,700
calms down. 
David comes back in place again,

783
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:14,800
10 minutes in and throws a 
spear. 

784
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,400
Again. 
He evades him this time. 

785
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:20,500
He leaves the premises 
permanently. 

786
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:26,600
This time, he said, and we will 
never see David in this position

787
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,400
for the next few years. 
Is that is that right? 

788
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,800
Or is that wrong? 
Is that righteous or is that 

789
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,700
cowardly? 
What do you think? 

790
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:42,700
It's righteous. 
Because God calls us to be wise.

791
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,700
And we would say it's probably 
very smart not to work for 

792
00:48:49,700 --> 00:48:51,200
somebody that wants to try to 
kill you. 

793
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:56,900
But the murder was the symptom 
that attempt to kill him was a 

794
00:48:56,900 --> 00:49:00,400
symptom, the real issue was 
jealousy and here's the point 

795
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,000
jealousy. 
As much as Jonathan, try to 

796
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:09,800
reconcile the to the scriptures 
and form us about the difficulty

797
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,300
to remain in the presence of 
someone who has Envy towards 

798
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:16,700
you. 
That's why I believe it's one of

799
00:49:16,700 --> 00:49:22,200
the most vicious. 
And heinous sins of the spirit. 

800
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:28,000
Proverbs 27 for says wrath. 
Now, listen to this. 

801
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,100
I want you to listen to these 
words. 

802
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:32,900
This is astounding, wrath is 
cruel. 

803
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:39,800
Anger is overwhelming, but who 
can stand before jealousy? 

804
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:44,800
Think about that. 
Do you know a person who has no 

805
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,400
control over their temper? 
Have you ever been in the 

806
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,100
presence of someone that all it 
takes is one little thing and 

807
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:52,500
they blow up and veins, come 
with their neck and they throw 

808
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:55,900
things across the room. 
It's not very fun to be in their

809
00:49:55,900 --> 00:49:59,200
presence. 
Scripture even says, if you're 

810
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,400
married to someone like, that's 
better to live in the desert. 

811
00:50:03,300 --> 00:50:06,200
But this proverb tells me that 
there is something more severe 

812
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,600
than that. 
And that's a person who's 

813
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,800
jealous of you, any idea. 
Why. 

814
00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:17,000
Any idea? 
Why? 

815
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:27,300
Why? 
In a person with jealousy, just 

816
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:29,400
they have something in their 
heart and they kind of stare at 

817
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:30,500
you to certain way. 
They might be. 

818
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:37,900
Many me talk about you Gibran. 
It's hidden and that's one 

819
00:50:37,900 --> 00:50:41,500
element it secretive. 
It can be easily detected. 

820
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:44,600
It can be covered by different 
things and false humility short.

821
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:53,000
Yes. 
Okay, so anger and wrath are 

822
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,700
more explosive firework moments 
where as jealousy has longevity 

823
00:50:56,700 --> 00:50:58,400
to. 
As we see in Saul's life, 

824
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,800
anything else. 
Let me ask you something. 

825
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,900
Even though somebody might not 
have the right. 

826
00:51:05,900 --> 00:51:09,200
We never have the right to be 
explosive in our anger, to be 

827
00:51:09,300 --> 00:51:12,400
filled with rage. 
Usually there is something that 

828
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,000
is done to create that do right?
Unless somebody's just totally 

829
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,500
out of and they just get angry 
for no reason but usually it's 

830
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:21,700
something do. 
Divide that causes that 

831
00:51:21,700 --> 00:51:27,400
explosion to occur, correct? 
But what about jealousy? 

832
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:33,000
What does somebody have to do 
wrong to make somebody jealous? 

833
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:47,500
That's it? 
Jealousy deals with a failure to

834
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:50,900
be complete in your identity 
with Christ. 

835
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:53,500
So, here's the thing, when I 
look at a verse like this, I 

836
00:51:53,508 --> 00:51:56,700
think about Dave and I go. 
What did David do to make to 

837
00:51:56,700 --> 00:51:58,500
makes all feel that way about 
him? 

838
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,300
And the answer is nothing. 
David was just fulfilling the 

839
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:06,500
will of God for his life. 
David displayed humility and 

840
00:52:06,500 --> 00:52:10,900
loyalty and consistency and yet 
still he was the object of 

841
00:52:10,900 --> 00:52:14,000
someone's hatred. 
So here's why. 

842
00:52:14,300 --> 00:52:16,000
Here's why, who can stand 
before. 

843
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,500
Jealousy is a scary thing 
because you did nothing to cause

844
00:52:20,500 --> 00:52:21,900
it. 
So you can't necessarily do 

845
00:52:21,900 --> 00:52:25,100
anything to relieve it. 
What am I going to do for you? 

846
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:29,500
Not to be jealous, kill myself. 
Oh, quit the ministry. 

847
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,900
Oh, okay, not look beautiful. 
So that you feel better about 

848
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:36,500
yourself. 
You see what I'm saying? 

849
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:40,200
Oh, I'll demote myself so I 
don't make as much just because 

850
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:43,600
you see how you see, how this 
doesn't make sense you, if it's 

851
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,400
not reconcilable, unless the 
holy spirit, that something in 

852
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,300
that person. 
So what David is showing here is

853
00:52:50,900 --> 00:52:54,400
I can't work with this. 
Like if you are a person who is 

854
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,400
angry or filled with rage then 
maybe I can I can change the way

855
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,500
I do things around you that 
triggers that maybe there's 

856
00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:03,400
something. 
I do that you don't do. 

857
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,400
And so maybe we just need to me.
I died here so we can calm 

858
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:07,500
things down. 
No. 

859
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:11,100
No, I'm doing the will of God. 
So what can I do to please? 

860
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:13,500
You, I can't. 
I can't. 

861
00:53:14,900 --> 00:53:18,200
And so he flees his presence and
he is very wise in doing. 

862
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,200
So let me tell you, if you're a 
person is struggling with Josie.

863
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,400
God can heal you God can restore
you. 

864
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,300
God can make you complete. 
God can give you a revelation of

865
00:53:26,300 --> 00:53:30,300
your identity in Christ. 
That will make you feel whole. 

866
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,800
But if not, if likes all you 
ignore it and you justify it. 

867
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:37,900
I assure you. 
One of the consequences of among

868
00:53:37,900 --> 00:53:40,400
many that you will push people 
away from you. 

869
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,300
And things that could have been 
wonderful Godly Partnerships and

870
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:48,200
friendships will, instead be you
looking at innocent people as 

871
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,000
enemies. 
Don't let yourself be consumed 

872
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
by it. 
Give it to Christ. 

873
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,500
David runs you guys doing well, 
can we continue? 

874
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,300
Verse 11, Saul sent Messengers 
to David's house to watch him, 

875
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:07,400
that he might kill him in the 
morning, but me, how David's 

876
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,400
wife told him. 
If you do not escape with your 

877
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,900
life, tonight tomorrow, you will
be killed. 

878
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:16,500
So me how let David down through
the window and he fled away and 

879
00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:17,600
escaped. 
Now. 

880
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,500
This is so good. 
I don't know. 

881
00:54:19,500 --> 00:54:21,900
I wish I didn't even stop. 
I'm just going to read the next 

882
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:25,500
few verses because it's worthy 
of not being interrupted. 

883
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:28,100
Just listen to us and let the 
imagery play in your mind. 

884
00:54:28,100 --> 00:54:31,400
So let me retract saw sent 
Messengers verse 11 to David's 

885
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,500
house to watch him that he might
kill him in the morning, but me,

886
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:37,000
how David's wife told him. 
If you do not escape with your 

887
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:41,100
life tonight tomorrow, you'll be
killed so many holiday vadh down

888
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:44,900
through the window and he fled 
And escaped Miguel took an 

889
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:48,500
image, which is actually a 
household God and laid it on the

890
00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:52,400
bed and put a pillow of goats 
hair at his head and covered it 

891
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,300
with the clothes. 
So when Saul sent Messengers to 

892
00:54:55,300 --> 00:55:00,600
take David, she said he is sick.
Then saw send the messengers to 

893
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,500
see David saying, bring him up 
to me in the bed that I may kill

894
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:08,100
him. 
And when the messengers came in 

895
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:11,600
behold, the image was in the bed
with the pillow of goats here at

896
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,300
its head. 
Saul said to me Kyle, why have 

897
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:18,000
you deceived me, thus, and let 
my enemy go so that he has 

898
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,600
escaped. 
Let me call answers Saul. 

899
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,400
He said to me, let me go. 
Why should I kill you? 

900
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,100
If you have the money, make a 
movie out of this, please, this 

901
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:31,400
is like so exciting. 
How can you be bored with the 

902
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,400
scriptures? 
I mean, detects itself is 

903
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,200
riveting when you have the Holy 
Spirit, ready to give you 

904
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,300
Revelation. 
Oh. 

905
00:55:40,700 --> 00:55:44,000
There's many things that can be 
said about these verses, but I 

906
00:55:44,008 --> 00:55:47,400
will bring one inside that. 
I sure, I hope will surely bless

907
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,400
you. 
This scene that we just 

908
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,800
described actually inspired 
David to write an entire Psalm 

909
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,500
about it. 
Does anybody know the song 

910
00:55:56,500 --> 00:55:58,900
number? 
Mmm. 

911
00:56:01,700 --> 00:56:08,600
Go to the Book of Psalms. 
And this is why we must read all

912
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,000
of the Bible because it sheds 
light on different portions of 

913
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:21,100
the Bible. 59. 
If you are willing go home 

914
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:25,000
tomorrow tonight, whenever you 
desire and read Psalm 59 in 

915
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,900
light of tonight's Bible study, 
but look at verse 12, the 

916
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:34,900
choirmaster according to do not 
destroy a micced, MM of David 

917
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:39,600
when Saul sent men to watch his 
house in order to kill him. 

918
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:47,600
So what we just read in 1st 
Samuel, this is David by the 

919
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:53,400
spirit, writing an entire song 
to describe his perspective on 

920
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,300
it. 
Aren't the scriptures. 

921
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:58,900
Wonderful. 
And I wish we can read all of 

922
00:56:58,900 --> 00:57:00,300
it. 
But let's look at a few things. 

923
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:05,300
Look at verse 34, behold. 
They lie and wait for my life, 

924
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:09,900
Fierce men stir up Strife 
against me for no transgression 

925
00:57:09,900 --> 00:57:13,300
or sin of mine. 
O, Lord, for no fault of mine. 

926
00:57:13,300 --> 00:57:19,100
They run and make ready. 
You want to serve God, be ready 

927
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,500
to be attacked by those in your 
own camp. 

928
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:25,800
He's not speaking about the 
Philistines. 

929
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,800
He's speaking about those that 
he served with. 

930
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:31,700
He's speaking about the servants
that he probably even went to 

931
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:34,200
war with that, they probably 
laughed together with that. 

932
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,300
They probably made memories 
within the palace. 

933
00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:41,800
These men now are surrounding 
his Dwelling Place for no sin 

934
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:45,100
for no transgression. 
Just because they don't have the

935
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:48,300
discernment and they don't have 
the spirit of God in them to 

936
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:50,700
see, like Jonathan saw, this is 
not right. 

937
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,500
In fact, look at verse 12 for 
the sin of their mouths, the 

938
00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:58,600
words of their lips. 
Let them be wrapped in their 

939
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:03,100
pride for the cursing and what's
that word and lies that they 

940
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:08,300
utter. 
How else would Saul convince a 

941
00:58:08,308 --> 00:58:10,600
bunch of people to kill David. 
He didn't just say go kill him 

942
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,700
necessarily surely. 
There was something that he said

943
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:15,600
to them, to convince them to 
kill him. 

944
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:17,900
And we're going to read that 
later on. 

945
00:58:17,900 --> 00:58:20,500
Even David complains later. 
They slander me. 

946
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,000
If you actually look at the woes
in the Book of Psalms, many of 

947
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,100
them have to do with slander 
than anything else study, it, 

948
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:33,100
most of David's laments have to 
do with what people said to him 

949
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:36,000
and about him more than the 
spears that they were ready to 

950
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,300
throw at him. 
So David here, as a man was 

951
00:58:40,300 --> 00:58:44,500
innocent is experiencing attack 
and even lies said about him and

952
00:58:44,500 --> 00:58:50,500
what did David do? 
Serve, God, serve God and watch 

953
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:53,800
the potential of the enemy to 
try to come against you. 

954
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,000
But look at verse 70, I love how
this song ends. 

955
00:58:56,500 --> 00:59:01,200
Oh, my strength. 
I will sing praises to you for 

956
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,100
you. 
Oh, God are my Fortress. 

957
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:05,400
The God Who shows me steadfast 
love. 

958
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,400
I'm innocent. 
I don't deserve this. 

959
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:12,500
You know, what's amazing about 
that Psalm. 

960
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,400
He does this in other places, 
but he doesn't do it here. 

961
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,800
He didn't say, this is unfair. 
God is this what it is? 

962
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,600
This what comes with a package 
to serving you? 

963
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,200
I'm reconsidering, this whole 
anointing thing and this whole 

964
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,500
being a king thing. 
No, he says, I trust you. 

965
00:59:28,300 --> 00:59:30,300
I'll sing to you in the midst of
all of this. 

966
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,100
I'll praise you because you are 
my Fortress. 

967
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,300
Saul is not my Fortress. 
The armies of Israel are not my 

968
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:39,200
shield. 
You are. 

969
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,900
So we come back to the story as 
we were ready to close. 

970
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,000
Psalm 59 was written in light of
this, but look at some of the 

971
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,800
hints here. 
Look at me, call me Hal rescues 

972
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,400
David Wright. 
This is God's Providence, guys. 

973
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,000
Look at this saw. 
Thought he can be secretive soft

974
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,500
that he can go to his own family
and try to make a plan against 

975
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:02,700
David and God's Providence is at
work. 

976
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:07,500
So, Jonathan warns David 
initially later on me. 

977
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:10,400
Kyle tells David, she finds out 
somehow. 

978
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:15,700
What's the point here? 
Sin has a way of getting out the

979
01:00:15,700 --> 01:00:19,300
plots of Satan, have a way of 
getting out and God always 

980
01:00:19,300 --> 01:00:22,700
prepares us, whether it's in the
moment, or after the fact always

981
01:00:22,700 --> 01:00:25,300
prepares us to remain 
unshakable, and I moved. 

982
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,400
Macaulay is fulfilling. 
What Genesis 2 says that a man 

983
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,500
shall leave. 
His father and his mother and 

984
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:38,400
shall cleave unto his wife. 
You know what people do? 

985
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,500
They equate that merely to 
physical location. 

986
01:00:42,900 --> 01:00:45,500
That a man or a woman, they 
leave their family. 

987
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,600
So when you get married, you're 
supposed to leave the home, he's

988
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,600
supposedly the supervision of 
your parents. 

989
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,300
And now you become a new family 
unit by the spirit of God and by

990
01:00:54,300 --> 01:00:56,600
Covenant. 
So we look at that verse and 

991
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,300
Stewie go. 
Yes, I left my house and many 

992
01:01:00,300 --> 01:01:01,900
people haven't moved 
emotionally. 

993
01:01:04,100 --> 01:01:07,400
So, their allegiance to their 
parents is more Superior than 

994
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,800
their spouse. 
Their emotions are dedicated to 

995
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,600
their parents more than their 
spouse, and that's how you 

996
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,600
create havoc in the home. 
When the Bible says leave father

997
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,100
and mother, it's every type of 
leaving, not just physical 

998
01:01:22,100 --> 01:01:25,900
location. 
You are turning your Allegiance.

999
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:30,700
You are turning your dedication 
to that person, even over your 

1000
01:01:30,700 --> 01:01:34,700
parents. 
You may not value that. 

1001
01:01:34,700 --> 01:01:41,400
Now you will in the future. 
Some know what I'm talking 

1002
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:46,000
about. 
So we admire me call for this. 

1003
01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:49,500
But again, it's very short-lived
because she does something David

1004
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:53,400
escapes through the window. 
She takes an idol. 

1005
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,200
Puts it in the bed, puts goats 
hair on it. 

1006
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,700
Puts a blanket over. 
Here's my question. 

1007
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,200
What's an idol doing in your 
home? 

1008
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,600
Huh? 
Where'd you get that? 

1009
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:09,100
I can tell you this? 
I have a hunch that it wasn't 

1010
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:14,900
David's just saying. 
I have a lot of confidence that 

1011
01:02:14,900 --> 01:02:16,800
it wasn't David's household, 
God. 

1012
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:24,000
Amber what's all said earlier? 
Michal is in love with David. 

1013
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:29,300
She will be a snare to him. 
Saw knew something about his 

1014
01:02:29,308 --> 01:02:31,700
daughter. 
I'm convinced, he knew something

1015
01:02:31,700 --> 01:02:33,700
about his daughter, and one 
thing that he must have known is

1016
01:02:33,700 --> 01:02:35,200
that she worshipped household 
gods? 

1017
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:40,400
And we see later on that, when 
David worships. 

1018
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:45,200
She's offended by it. 
You want to know how you can set

1019
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,800
yourself up for trap and 
marriage? 

1020
01:02:47,900 --> 01:02:50,300
Marry, somebody who is not 
spiritually compatible with you.

1021
01:02:53,500 --> 01:02:58,000
Marry somebody? 
Who doesn't have God as their 

1022
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,600
sole treasure and life? 
There's Supreme Delight. 

1023
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:06,200
The lordship of Jesus Christ is 
not real over them. 

1024
01:03:06,300 --> 01:03:09,300
Do they go to church? 
Oh, they lift their hands. 

1025
01:03:09,300 --> 01:03:13,600
Sometimes. 
And here's what we think. 

1026
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,800
Here's a warning for us. 
Okay, we think like me how this 

1027
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,600
can work. 
Yeah, he's a man after God's Own

1028
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,500
Heart. 
He's good-looking. 

1029
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,400
She's pretty, she's gorgeous. 
I can win her. 

1030
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,100
Listen. 
Don't marry. 

1031
01:03:28,100 --> 01:03:30,200
Somebody's potential. 
Please don't do that. 

1032
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:34,600
Don't marry what somebody could 
be? 

1033
01:03:37,100 --> 01:03:42,500
Because here's the thing, me, 
house idolatry and and David's 

1034
01:03:42,500 --> 01:03:47,600
obvious Soul dedication to God. 
You didn't see issues at first. 

1035
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,200
In fact, things look good here. 
Like me house working with 

1036
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,000
David. 
He's escaping. 

1037
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,200
She's there. 
She seems like she's fulfilling 

1038
01:03:55,200 --> 01:04:00,600
parts of the Bible. 
Like in relationships today that

1039
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,400
spiritual unequally yoked - if 
that's even a word usually 

1040
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,000
surfaces up later, down the 
road. 

1041
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:09,800
And so you hear crazy things. 
I mean, this is the fullest 

1042
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,000
extent where you I've said this 
before where you have like 

1043
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,500
Christian young ladies willing 
to marry Muslims. 

1044
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,700
I've seen it, I've talked to 
people and when they they try to

1045
01:04:20,700 --> 01:04:24,600
convince they say well they say 
that I'm willing they're willing

1046
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,500
to let me practice my faith. 
Oh, really? 

1047
01:04:28,700 --> 01:04:30,600
That's all it takes for you to 
be convinced. 

1048
01:04:32,500 --> 01:04:34,800
Well, he says, he's not, he's 
not that into it. 

1049
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,000
He says, he'll respect my 
beliefs and I can go to church 

1050
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
and he can do his thing. 
Wonderful. 

1051
01:04:39,100 --> 01:04:39,700
Great. 
Yeah. 

1052
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,800
So what about when kids come on 
the scene? 

1053
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:50,200
Oh, well. 
What's a household God? 

1054
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:55,200
Doing in this house? 
We're going to find out later on

1055
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,500
in our study of David that he 
was in the best that this 

1056
01:04:57,500 --> 01:05:00,000
marriage thing. 
He was a man of God. 

1057
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,800
He loved God a lot. 
Not really a good person in 

1058
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:09,700
terms of how he chose a spouse 
and he wasn't the best dad 

1059
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:11,800
either. 
We'll get to that later on. 

1060
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:15,300
Now, look what happens. 
Not only that. 

1061
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,700
She lies Saul Comes The 
Messengers. 

1062
01:05:18,900 --> 01:05:22,500
He's sick. 
Really? 

1063
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,400
Not only that. 
I don't even want to get into. 

1064
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:30,400
What saw saying, saw says, look 
at this, the progression of sin 

1065
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,100
verse 15. 
Bring him up to me in the bed 

1066
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:35,500
that I may kill him. 
See, what happened. 

1067
01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:41,400
He went from willing that 
letting the enemies kill him to 

1068
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,200
Jonathan, and his servants to 
kill him. 

1069
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:45,900
And now he himself is saying, 
let me just do this myself. 

1070
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,300
Let me kill him. 
That's the progression of sin, 

1071
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,300
unbridled and uncontrolled, and 
unrestrained. 

1072
01:05:52,300 --> 01:05:55,500
By the power of the Holy Spirit.
There's a progression to 

1073
01:05:55,500 --> 01:05:57,800
Holiness and there's a 
progression in sinfulness. 

1074
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,800
There's no neutrality in the 
Christian Journey. 

1075
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,900
There's no, there's no end where
you put it on and you just sit 

1076
01:06:02,900 --> 01:06:04,400
there. 
No, you're either moving forward

1077
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,000
or backward. 
When The Messengers came and 

1078
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,900
behold the image was in the bed.
It's a goat. 

1079
01:06:09,900 --> 01:06:13,000
I guess something crazy like 
that verse 17 salsa that me. 

1080
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,400
How, why have you deceived me? 
Like look, he's playing victim 

1081
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,500
though. 
Because when we are filled with 

1082
01:06:19,500 --> 01:06:21,600
carnality, we never see 
ourselves as the problem. 

1083
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,400
We always see ourselves as the 
victim. 

1084
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,500
Why have you deceived me? 
That's a, let, my enemy go, so 

1085
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:29,300
that he has asked it. 
That's your son-in-law. 

1086
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,200
Let me call answered. 
So he said to me, let me go. 

1087
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:37,600
Why should I kill you? 
Show me how although there is 

1088
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,900
something to admire about her 
when she let David go, she gave 

1089
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:43,400
him the word so he can escape 
she's lying because she's 

1090
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,600
clearly afraid of her father. 
I see a different attitude and 

1091
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,700
Jonathan, Jonathan was not like 
this. 

1092
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:50,600
He was willing to stand to his 
dad and be truthful. 

1093
01:06:50,900 --> 01:06:52,700
And said, this is you're in the 
wrong. 

1094
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:55,700
You can't be doing this and he 
was willing to put his life at 

1095
01:06:55,700 --> 01:06:57,700
risk. 
You never cease all throwing a 

1096
01:06:57,707 --> 01:07:00,600
spear at me. 
How you see saw throwing a spear

1097
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:04,500
Jonathan because Jonathan was a 
man of Truth and you'll pay a 

1098
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:07,500
price when you stand for. 
With whether it's gospel truth 

1099
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,600
or truth in terms of 
righteousness. 

1100
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,100
Because I wanted to save face. 
No! 

1101
01:07:13,300 --> 01:07:15,300
He try to be try to key threaten
me. 

1102
01:07:15,700 --> 01:07:16,800
Now. 
Here's the thing. 

1103
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,500
She tried to diffuse the 
situation by the seductiveness 

1104
01:07:19,500 --> 01:07:24,000
of Sin Sin, convinces, you that.
If you use it, it will make 

1105
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,900
things better without 
consequences. 

1106
01:07:27,100 --> 01:07:30,700
So in that moment, she felt 
maybe, what many of us felt it 

1107
01:07:30,700 --> 01:07:33,400
to try to evade, a dangerous 
consequence. 

1108
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,300
We lie to try to extinguish the 
moment. 

1109
01:07:37,300 --> 01:07:38,600
So she tried to diffuse it. 
Now. 

1110
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,900
Here's my question to all of us.
Did this lie? 

1111
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Help David, or hurt, David? 
I think we know the answer. 

1112
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:52,900
Because someone very 
intelligently observed, that 

1113
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,100
Saul could have now used this to
go and Chase David. 

1114
01:07:57,300 --> 01:07:59,900
Now if anybody asks, all why are
you leaving your throne and 

1115
01:07:59,900 --> 01:08:02,100
going in the wilderness and 
chasing he threatened, my 

1116
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:05,300
daughter? 
He said he was going to kill my 

1117
01:08:05,300 --> 01:08:06,400
daughter. 
I must go. 

1118
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,900
I might not have father to stand
for my own offspring. 

1119
01:08:09,300 --> 01:08:15,400
You see Stick with the truth, 
stick with the principles of 

1120
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,700
righteousness, as much as you 
might think that sin will make 

1121
01:08:18,700 --> 01:08:21,000
things better. 
And you will evade consequences 

1122
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:26,399
sin has a law, it only brings 
consequences truth will 

1123
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:32,600
liberate, you truth will save. 
You truth will keep you He 

1124
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:37,700
called it and do this. 
And it would only add like what 

1125
01:08:37,700 --> 01:08:40,600
sin does either harms you or 
harm other people. 

1126
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,000
Now, let's fast-forward, David 
fleas. 

1127
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,399
He goes to Samuel. 
We haven't seen Samuel in a very

1128
01:08:45,399 --> 01:08:48,600
long time. 
He comes to Samuel and he pours 

1129
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:53,000
his heart out to him and I could
end it here, but I need to 

1130
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,300
complete it with the stop 
because this is, this is a very 

1131
01:08:55,300 --> 01:08:58,300
interesting place in verse 20, 
saw Liz. 

1132
01:08:58,300 --> 01:09:01,500
He's so out of it. 
He's willing to go to Samuel his

1133
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:05,700
house to kill David there. 
So verse 20, salsa and 

1134
01:09:05,700 --> 01:09:08,600
Messengers to take David. 
And when they saw the company of

1135
01:09:08,608 --> 01:09:12,000
the prophets prophesying and 
Samuel standing as head over 

1136
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,200
than the spirit of God, Came 
Upon The Messengers of Saul and 

1137
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,000
they also prophesied. 
So imagine this, this is almost 

1138
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:20,500
comical saws. 
There. 

1139
01:09:20,500 --> 01:09:21,899
He goes. 
You been to man. 

1140
01:09:21,899 --> 01:09:24,500
Go, go to Samuels house, they 
go, and they show up at the 

1141
01:09:24,508 --> 01:09:27,399
worship service, Samuel is 
leading the worship, all the 

1142
01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:30,000
prophets are worshiping, and The
Messengers come in probably 

1143
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,600
sword in hand, and the spirit of
God comes upon them. 

1144
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:38,899
And they joined the Choir. 
Verse 21 when it was told Saul 

1145
01:09:38,899 --> 01:09:42,800
he's like, hey your ass ass ins 
became part of the worship team.

1146
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:48,600
When it was told Saul, he sent 
other Messengers and they also 

1147
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:53,200
prophesied. 
You would get the hint, right? 

1148
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,100
People make this about how are 
these people prophesying? 

1149
01:09:58,400 --> 01:09:59,900
It doesn't mean that they're 
necessarily predicting. 

1150
01:09:59,900 --> 01:10:02,700
The future prophecy has a 
broader definition. 

1151
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:06,100
It can also be just declaring 
the goodness of God, the truth 

1152
01:10:06,100 --> 01:10:10,700
of God, the Praises of God. 
Does anybody have an idea why 

1153
01:10:10,700 --> 01:10:15,300
God is allowing this. 
They may have an idea. 

1154
01:10:19,900 --> 01:10:26,800
Who's really in charge Saul? 
Giving solid chance to redeem 

1155
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,500
himself. 
Yes, and yes, any other ideas. 

1156
01:10:32,900 --> 01:10:34,300
Very good. 
Good good. 

1157
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:37,700
Good observation. 
Just because you prophesy 

1158
01:10:38,100 --> 01:10:49,200
doesn't mean you're from God. 
Very good. 

1159
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:56,200
Very good observation. 
You guys are amazing students. 

1160
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,400
By the way, this is incredible. 
Yes. 

1161
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:00,600
Yes. 
Yes. 

1162
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,900
Did this not remind Saul of what
he wants experience in God when 

1163
01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:07,500
he was walking with God. 
Absolutely. 

1164
01:11:08,500 --> 01:11:12,600
And in fact, if I may add one 
more thing, God is stopping Saul

1165
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:17,100
from killing David. 
These men think that they can 

1166
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:19,700
come to David. 
You know, what God does. 

1167
01:11:21,300 --> 01:11:23,700
Now all this is how amazing God 
as he could have opened up the 

1168
01:11:23,700 --> 01:11:26,400
Earth and swallowed them. 
He could have done what he did 

1169
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,100
with Elijah when the king sent 
50 bands, men. 

1170
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:31,900
Remember the fire came from 
heaven and consume and consume 

1171
01:11:31,900 --> 01:11:35,600
the next batch. 
No, he makes them worship God. 

1172
01:11:37,500 --> 01:11:40,200
You want to kill my servant? 
I'm going to turn you into 

1173
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,800
worshippers. 
Saul hears. 

1174
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,300
It. 
He sends another band of men 

1175
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:47,600
they do the same. 
So what is Saul do verse 22? 

1176
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:51,600
Then he himself. 
Can you see it? 

1177
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,600
Like almost like a movie? 
He himself gets off the throne 

1178
01:11:54,700 --> 01:11:57,300
and he went to Rama and came to 
the great. 

1179
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,300
Well, that is insecure and he 
asks, where are Samuel and David

1180
01:12:01,300 --> 01:12:02,700
and once and behold, they are 
now. 

1181
01:12:02,700 --> 01:12:07,400
If and Rama and he went there 
tonight, othon, Rama and the 

1182
01:12:07,407 --> 01:12:09,300
spirit of God Came Upon him 
also. 

1183
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:13,100
And as he went, he prophesied, 
until he came to Nazareth and 

1184
01:12:13,100 --> 01:12:16,400
Rama. 
Now, look at this verse 24, and 

1185
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:20,200
he to stripped off his clothes 
and he to prophesied. 

1186
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,300
For Samuel and Lead naked. 
All that day, and all that 

1187
01:12:23,300 --> 01:12:26,800
night. 
Thus, it is said, is Saul also 

1188
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,800
among the prophets, Saul receive
the more severe dealing. 

1189
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,000
By this the spirit of God, the 
other men, they prophesy. 

1190
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,200
But once all came on the scene. 
I don't believe that it was 

1191
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,600
Saul's voluntary act to start. 
Taking his clothes off. 

1192
01:12:42,700 --> 01:12:45,500
I believe the spirit of God Came
Upon him in such a way where he 

1193
01:12:45,500 --> 01:12:51,400
did that under that compulsion. 
And the question is why here it 

1194
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,700
is you all touched on it. 
Beautifully. 

1195
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:59,300
Saul did not get the hint from 
God that you are fighting. 

1196
01:12:59,300 --> 01:13:02,200
Not just against David. 
You're fighting against me. 

1197
01:13:03,100 --> 01:13:05,300
You sent one band of men. 
I stopped them. 

1198
01:13:05,300 --> 01:13:07,200
You sent another band of men. 
I stop him. 

1199
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,700
You yourself come. 
I stopped you Saul, you're 

1200
01:13:10,700 --> 01:13:14,200
fighting against my spirit. 
You're fighting against my plan,

1201
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:18,400
my program for my nation. 
He didn't believe it or at least

1202
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:22,600
he didn't want to submit to it. 
He comes and not only this, God 

1203
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,800
could have killed salt. 
He could have taken him out 

1204
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,200
right there. 
But you know what he did. 

1205
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,300
As our brother said earlier. 
He's a lying him to taste. 

1206
01:13:30,300 --> 01:13:32,600
What he wants new when he was 
walking with God. 

1207
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:36,000
This is the grace of God. 
Do you remember what it was like

1208
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,300
to be under the influence of my 
spirit? 

1209
01:13:38,300 --> 01:13:41,000
You've only known for these past
few days and months, what it's 

1210
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,900
like to be under a tormenting 
Spirit, don't you miss what? 

1211
01:13:43,900 --> 01:13:48,100
It's like to be under the shower
of my grace and mercy, He's 

1212
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:51,400
giving him a taste again, of 
what it's like to be walking 

1213
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:55,200
right with the Lord. 
And it's almost an invitation 

1214
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,000
for us all to repent, right 
there. 

1215
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,700
And then come back to this. 
And sometimes the scripture 

1216
01:14:00,700 --> 01:14:04,200
tells us that the goodness of 
God, the kindness of God leads 

1217
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,300
us to repentance. 
It's not always fear and 

1218
01:14:07,300 --> 01:14:08,600
judgment that shakes us up 
though. 

1219
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:12,800
God uses that even sometimes 
when you are away from God and 

1220
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,100
you've heard those testimonies 
God, just shows his mercy and 

1221
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:20,100
his grace. 
In such an extravagant way for 

1222
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:23,900
you to realize that sin is not 
worth it worldliness is not 

1223
01:14:23,900 --> 01:14:26,500
worth it. 
Rebellion is not worth it. 

1224
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,200
That's what's happening with 
Saul. 

1225
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,300
But solved it and get it. 
No repentance. 

1226
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,100
So what does God do? 
He makes him take off his 

1227
01:14:35,100 --> 01:14:38,100
clothes. 
Why to Humble him? 

1228
01:14:41,300 --> 01:14:45,100
Saw ultimately the mother of all
sins, his pride and Saul refused

1229
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:47,600
to submit to God, refuse to 
repent before God. 

1230
01:14:47,700 --> 01:14:50,200
So you know what God does you 
think you're a king as her 

1231
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,600
brother said it first. 
I'm going to show you who's 

1232
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,300
really the king. 
Take off your kingly robes. 

1233
01:14:56,300 --> 01:15:00,100
Salt, took off his crown and 
took off his robe and took off 

1234
01:15:00,100 --> 01:15:03,600
his armor, and he lay there like
a little boy naked. 

1235
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,800
And this is where I study comes 
full circle. 

1236
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,300
And we started, we talked about 
David's humility and how God 

1237
01:15:11,300 --> 01:15:14,900
exalted David because of that. 
And here we see Saul because of 

1238
01:15:14,900 --> 01:15:18,000
his pride. 
God humiliates him. 

1239
01:15:20,500 --> 01:15:26,800
And he knows how to do it. 
So, we cannot afford, we cannot 

1240
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,700
afford to allow our hearts to 
entertain sin to Harbors. 

1241
01:15:30,700 --> 01:15:32,700
An, do you even see the mercy of
God here? 

1242
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,800
It irks me very much. 
When people say God of the Old 

1243
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,700
Testament, is not a merciful 
god. 

1244
01:15:38,300 --> 01:15:40,900
What was that? 
That's mercy. 

1245
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,500
And God is willing to be 
merciful to you maybe tonight at

1246
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:47,100
this Bible study, you know, 
you're in sin. 

1247
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:51,500
You know, you might even have 
that jealousy, that envy that 

1248
01:15:51,500 --> 01:15:57,800
anger that rage in your heart. 
God doesn't condemn you tonight.

1249
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:00,700
God is not looking to destroy 
you tonight. 

1250
01:16:01,300 --> 01:16:04,500
God wants to heal you. 
God wants to pour His holy 

1251
01:16:04,500 --> 01:16:08,100
spirit upon you. 
God wants you to know the flow 

1252
01:16:08,100 --> 01:16:11,800
of his love again. 
The liberating sense, when you 

1253
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,800
know, that you are in right 
standing with Christ respond to 

1254
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,400
that tonight. 
Let this Bible study be like 

1255
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,400
what it was for saw in those 
Messengers. 

1256
01:16:20,500 --> 01:16:24,000
Let It Be An arresting moment 
for you to realize what you are 

1257
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,900
actually doing and where God 
wants to In you, God is not 

1258
01:16:27,900 --> 01:16:30,100
ready to destroy you. 
God is not ready to get rid of 

1259
01:16:30,100 --> 01:16:31,400
you. 
Even though you've done 

1260
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:35,000
horrendous things as Saul did to
David got still is willing to 

1261
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,800
put the brakes and say. 
Can we make this right? 

1262
01:16:39,700 --> 01:16:42,500
Would you respond to that 
tonight for those who are 

1263
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:44,300
serving? 
God, and you were the opposite 

1264
01:16:44,300 --> 01:16:48,200
and you're experiencing great. 
Slander great, whatever it is 

1265
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,800
that you can identify know. 
This God is your Fortress. 

1266
01:16:53,300 --> 01:16:55,100
God is your Fortress. 
Let's pray. 

1267
01:17:09,900 --> 01:17:11,800
Lord, we thank you for this 
Bible study. 

1268
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,800
We thank you that Lord. 
It is rich in wisdom and that 

1269
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,300
you have painted it. 
So beautifully for us to see it 

1270
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:22,300
in real life so that we can 
relate to it. 

1271
01:17:25,700 --> 01:17:34,400
And God, we ask you. 
You would heal us because you 

1272
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,400
are the great physician. 
Lord, we are honest before you 

1273
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,800
in this moment and we can 
identify things. 

1274
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:44,600
Maybe that other man other men. 
Don't know. 

1275
01:17:45,100 --> 01:17:49,000
But we know and you know, we ask
that you would come and do your 

1276
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,200
work in us. 
We will not be like salt 

1277
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:55,200
tonight. 
And give you false repentance. 

1278
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,000
Lord, for those. 
Who are making a stands for 

1279
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,300
truth and they are being 
persecuted for it. 

1280
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:08,900
Whether at their job, whether in
their families, and it could be 

1281
01:18:08,900 --> 01:18:12,200
about gospel truth. 
Or it could be about just making

1282
01:18:13,100 --> 01:18:17,900
a judgment and a decision for 
what is Right, given the 

1283
01:18:17,900 --> 01:18:21,800
strength to endure, given the 
strength to communicate their 

1284
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,800
convictions with Grace, but with
boldness, at the same time. 

1285
01:18:25,700 --> 01:18:29,500
Oh Lord, how we need you? 
How we need you? 

1286
01:18:30,100 --> 01:18:32,100
And we ask that you would meet 
us in this place. 

1287
01:18:32,900 --> 01:18:34,800
Jesus name. 
Amen. 

1288
01:18:36,700 --> 01:18:39,400
You can stay seated if you'd 
like, just in this next few 

1289
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,300
short moments. 
Just Worship the Lord. 

1290
01:18:41,700 --> 01:18:44,500
Pray to your God. 
Communicate your needs. 

1291
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,800
Express your love for him and we
will dismiss you.
