1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,500
Do you have a copy of God's word
in your hand? 

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,400
We live in a time where that is 
available. 

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,200
Can you imagine being in the 
times of the Apostles where if 

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,600
you wanted to see something in 
the scriptures, you have to run 

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,300
to your local synagogue and sit 
there patiently because they 

6
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:20,200
didn't have references for 
chapters and verses and peel 

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,500
through different Scrolls. 
Somebody in Authority had to be 

8
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:27,000
there in the presence to point 
to a prophecy that you're 

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,800
interested of or something of 
the sort today. 

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,800
Day you can get God's word. 
Would skin leathered and there's

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,400
various other options. 
So we have no excuse not to have

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,900
a copy of it. 
Meet me in the copy that you 

13
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:50,400
have in 2nd Samuel 11 as we are 
now coming to the final 

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,300
installment of this chapter 
together. 

15
00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,600
And put your finger there in 
verse 15. 

16
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:04,800
Second Samuel, 11 verse 15. 
Who would have thought that 

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,200
David's neglect? 
Of being in the will of God and 

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,300
the beginning of this chapter 
would evolve into David, 

19
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,700
becoming a murderer by the end 
of the chapter. 

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,900
I'm sure the study of this man's
life. 

21
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,900
Especially at this point has 
been nothing short of shocking. 

22
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:28,100
For many of us, especially for 
someone who is as remarkable. 

23
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:33,300
And as praised as King, David 
was but the idea that we have 

24
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:39,600
here is that David Proves that 
sin is no respecter of persons. 

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,800
Sins. 
Aim is the same for the lowliest

26
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,400
of the palace as it is for the 
ruler of the Kingdom. 

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Its goal is to survive long 
enough to wreak, havoc in you 

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,800
through you around you, and 
before you and its primary 

29
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,300
source of strength in our lives 
to create that ripple effect is 

30
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:13,600
through our tolerance Ace of it.
Through our justification of it 

31
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,500
through our pleasure in it. 
And unfortunately what we're 

32
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:23,500
seeing here is just that we are 
witnessing the downfall of a man

33
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:29,800
of God and what David is trying 
to do is bury his sin but what 

34
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,300
he's not realizing is that he's 
also burying himself. 

35
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:39,200
He is also leading himself into 
a deeper pit of pain and misery 

36
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:43,800
that he will unfortunately have 
to sit in for quite some time. 

37
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:49,500
And as we come to this point, we
realize that the consequences of

38
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,900
his actions could have. 
Could have been put to a stop. 

39
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:58,600
If he had just confessed his sin
as early as possible, all he has

40
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,500
been doing is adding fuel to the
fire through his concealment, 

41
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,900
that concealment Is Like Oxygen 
to a fire and it is only growing

42
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:12,200
more and more and more and is 
becoming more and more severe. 

43
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,200
And David, we see here learned 
that as we saw last week, could 

44
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:24,200
not could not get Uriah to be 
with Bathsheba and a physical 

45
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,700
sense so that he could, he could
cover his sin through the 

46
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:33,400
explanation of natural means. 
And because of this, instead of 

47
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,000
taking it as a hint of Divine 
Providence, trying to put him in

48
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,700
his place, he instead now comes 
up with a Unthinkable 

49
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,100
heart-wrenching scheme. 
The conclusion that David makes 

50
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:53,100
at this point of his plan to try
to save face is to kill an 

51
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:59,300
innocent man, it's to murder 
Uriah He wakes up one morning 

52
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:02,600
and he is quick to execute. 
He does not waste any time 

53
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,400
because time is not in his 
favor, the longer, he waits the 

54
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,200
longer he delays, the more 
suspicious, he looks And so he 

55
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,000
does not hesitate to write the 
death warrant of this man to put

56
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,500
it in his hands and to have them
walk with it to the very place 

57
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,300
that he will be executed 
unjustly. 

58
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,600
And you can almost read. 
David's thoughts. 

59
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,600
When we learn that, he woke up 
that morning, what it must have 

60
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,300
been like, for him, internally 
the night before, as he was 

61
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,400
tossing and turning 
contemplating what to do, 

62
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,400
because this meant Integrity is 
getting in the way of his 

63
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,400
attempt to try to seem righteous
and clean and innocent. 

64
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,500
It's almost as though something 
along the lines of fine. 

65
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:52,800
Fine. 
You don't want to be with your 

66
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,000
wife so that it could seem like 
this baby is yours. 

67
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Then I will be the husband of 
your wife. 

68
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,600
And if it means to get rid of 
you, then, so be it. 

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,500
And that's essentially what he 
is doing. 

70
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:14,900
He is now going to try to take 
you riah's place as the husband,

71
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:18,300
so that it can seem like this 
baby, that would come into the 

72
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:22,900
world came through the confines 
of a righteous marriage. 

73
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:28,700
When everything about this is 
totally, totally unrighteous And

74
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,200
so I'm going to read these 
verses as we conclude this 

75
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,500
chapter and we're going to do 
what we usually do. 

76
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,800
Open it up for you to make some 
observations and then we're 

77
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,100
going to try to in a concise 
way, get to important matters of

78
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:42,400
this tax that the Holy Spirit 
has given to us. 

79
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:48,600
So they were there in verse 15, 
I hope In the letter, he wrote 

80
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:53,900
Set Uriah in the Forefront of 
the hardest fighting and then 

81
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:58,100
draw back from him that he may 
be struck down and die. 

82
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,500
And as Joy was besieging the 
city he assigned Uriah to the 

83
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,700
place where he knew that there 
were Valiant men and the men of 

84
00:06:06,707 --> 00:06:09,700
the city came out and fought 
with joab and some of the 

85
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:12,200
Servants of David among the 
People Fell. 

86
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:18,500
Uriah, the hittite also died. 
Then job sent and told David all

87
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:22,100
the news about the fighting and 
he instructed the messenger, 

88
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,400
when you have finished telling 
all the news about the fighting 

89
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,000
to the king, then, if the Kings 
anger Rises. 

90
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,800
And if he says to you, why did 
you go so near the city to 

91
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,300
fight? 
Did you not know that they would

92
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:39,500
shoot from the wall who killed 
Abby Malik, the son of Gera 

93
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:43,100
Boucher that djerba sheth the 
not a woman cast an upper Stone 

94
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:45,700
on him from the wall so that he 
died at the Bez. 

95
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:50,900
Why did you go so near the wall?
Then you shall say your servant 

96
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:54,100
Uriah the hittite is dead. 
Also. 

97
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:57,700
So the messenger went and came 
and told David all that job had 

98
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:01,400
sent him to tell the messenger 
said to David, the men gain an 

99
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,400
advantage over us and came out 
against us in the field but we 

100
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,700
drove them back to the entrance 
of the gate. 

101
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,500
Then the archers shot at your 
servants from the wall. 

102
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:13,400
Some of the king's servants are 
dead and your servant Uriah the 

103
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,000
hittite is dead. 
Also, David said to the 

104
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,800
messenger, thus you shall say to
joab? 

105
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,500
Do not let this matter. 
Displease you for the sword 

106
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:26,800
devours? 
Now one, and now, another 

107
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,700
strengthen your attack against 
the city and overthrow it and 

108
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:33,800
encourage him. 
When the wife of Uriah heard 

109
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,400
that you are, her husband was 
dead. 

110
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,600
She lamented over her husband. 
And when the morning was over, 

111
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,400
David sent and brought her to 
his house, and she became his 

112
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,400
wife and bore him a son, But the
thing that David had done 

113
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,600
displeased the Lord powerful, 
anything jump out to you. 

114
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:04,300
Anything significant important. 
Yes. 

115
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:09,700
Yeah. 
Is that an interesting attitude?

116
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,200
That's okay though. 
It is just happens. 

117
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,400
You just this just this is what 
war is about. 

118
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:16,500
Yes that's it. 
That's a strange response to the

119
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:34,900
death of an innocent man. 
Yeah, he kind of Skips the part 

120
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:37,000
of David, potentially getting 
angry and he just says, hey, 

121
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,200
you're either had his dead just 
so avoid that awkward 

122
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,500
confrontation. 
Sure. 

123
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:43,200
That's an observation. 
Yes. 

124
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:49,000
Yeah, you ride the hittite so 
we're seeing that the background

125
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,100
of this man repeated to us. 
Remind us that this is not an 

126
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:55,100
Israelite and what a terrible 
witness to this man, what a 

127
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,700
terrible treatment of a man who 
trusted not just the god of 

128
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:02,600
Israel but the people who claim 
to be the people of God, sure. 

129
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,900
Anything else. 
Very good. 

130
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:12,000
Now, job is involved in this 
mess. 

131
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,000
Now you have an accomplice. 
Now you have somebody joining in

132
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,300
in your effort to try to cover 
your mess. 

133
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,300
Yeah. 
Absolutely job is now included 

134
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:25,300
in all of this. 
Makes you wonder if job smelled 

135
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:29,000
something fishy? 
This is really strange. 

136
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,800
What's happening here? 
Yes. 

137
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

138
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Now now they're just playing 
Secrets, right? 

139
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800
And and they're trying to now 
jobs in on this and he's trying 

140
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,700
to conceal it through the 
messenger and they're they're 

141
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:54,700
both not working together to try
to make this seem like it was 

142
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:58,600
some accident and David just 
wants to put it at rest and he 

143
00:09:58,608 --> 00:09:59,700
just says, let's just get over 
it. 

144
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,900
Move on the job is done. 
They're speaking almost encode 

145
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:05,000
to one another. 
Yes. 

146
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,500
Yeah, this is starting to get 
really, really? 

147
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,700
Disappointing in many ways 
because there's collateral 

148
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,400
damage. 
Now, now you have other innocent

149
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,500
parties that are getting 
affected and we're going to 

150
00:10:35,508 --> 00:10:37,400
touch on that in a moment. 
Yes. 

151
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:56,700
Very, very good. 
Observation job seems to be 

152
00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:01,500
acting upon very little 
information and it makes jobs 

153
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:06,600
character, not shine as much as 
it should have well touch on 

154
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,700
that as well. 
Yes. 

155
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,900
Could it be that job is using 
this to one-up on David for 

156
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:35,400
maybe his past mistakes? 
And so he's willing to allow it 

157
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,300
to happen. 
Ah, now we're getting it to 

158
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:38,800
politics, right? 
Yes. 

159
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:46,300
Peter and then Laurie. 
Yeah. 

160
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,900
Yes, right, that happened in. 
What book? 

161
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:52,700
Who remembers what book that 
happened in judges? 

162
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,300
That's right. 
Did you want to add to that law?

163
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:17,700
Yes. 
Hmm, interesting thought very, 

164
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:30,800
very good observations. 
Yes, right. so, I'm thinking 

165
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:43,400
potentially You could have. 
But the submission of Uriah. 

166
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,300
Yeah, he was a mighty man. 
He was a valiant man, he was a 

167
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,100
warrior. 
He was a strategist himself. 

168
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:51,900
I mean he was he was promoted to
be among the 30. 

169
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,100
So maybe even Uriah himself saw 
that. 

170
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:57,800
This isn't probably the best of 
advancements, but I'm going to 

171
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,100
submit to my commander and it 
was, it was a death of him but 

172
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,100
that's, that's humility. 
Yes, David. 

173
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Yeah. 
Makes you wonder if she knew. 

174
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,100
I don't think she knew what 
David plotted. 

175
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200
It makes you wonder if she was 
even with scripture doesn't say 

176
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,700
if she was slightly relieved, we
do see that she lamented? 

177
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:25,100
We can take that for what it is.
That she was genuinely broken 

178
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,500
that her husband had passed. 
Yes, really. 

179
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,800
That's right. 
It is a long time to think you 

180
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,000
got away with something. 
Yeah. 

181
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,200
Yeah, that's right. 
Good. 

182
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,700
Good, very good. 
And that's going to be an 

183
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,500
important reminder. 
As we come to next week's, study

184
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:08,400
to see that some time had passed
before David was exposed. 

185
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:18,800
Yes, last one. 
Not so many people would have 

186
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,900
died within. 
Yes, absolutely. 

187
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:24,700
We're going to find out exactly 
why it is that people died in 

188
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:27,700
this story. 
It could have been avoided, 

189
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,000
could have been avoided. 
Are we ready? 

190
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,900
Let's come together now, to 
verse 15. 

191
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:36,100
It's clear that David here is 
attempted to make you riyas. 

192
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:39,200
Death seem like an accident of 
War. 

193
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:42,900
We talked about that last week, 
but it's worth bringing up again

194
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:47,900
that when you and I try to cover
our sin and concealed Our 

195
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:51,100
hypocrisy, it will always 
include the adoption of some 

196
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,300
level of deception. 
And in David's, case to 

197
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:56,900
deception is only increasing. 
And it is only extending and 

198
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:00,300
touching more people's lives 
Even parties that were not 

199
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,800
initially involved with the 
Scandal. 

200
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:06,400
And so now he is, he's affecting
other people, inviting other 

201
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,400
people, and other people are 
being influenced. 

202
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,700
All they want nothing to do with
this matter. 

203
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:15,300
And you have to you have to 
think it is an exhausting and 

204
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:19,200
miserable way of life to try. 
To convince others that you are 

205
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,100
righteous. 
It's just it's it will drain 

206
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:25,000
you. 
Some people have more stamina 

207
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,900
for it than others but 
regardless what we see here in a

208
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:33,600
very subtle way is that the fate
of such people is the same and 

209
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:39,300
it is this that in the pursuit 
of clever cunning lies at some 

210
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:43,500
point at some point. 
You will be exposed at some 

211
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:45,300
point. 
And we actually already see that

212
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:50,500
to some level here in this verse
might be wondering, how David is

213
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:53,000
not being very clear. 
Is he with this charge? 

214
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,800
He's not, he's not giving enough
reason for such a drastic 

215
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,500
decision to be made. 
And so when job receives this 

216
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:06,300
letter, a very short short and 
straight to the point kind of 

217
00:16:06,308 --> 00:16:10,500
instruction, there's there's too
much missing here that leaves 

218
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:16,600
the The possibility for great 
doubt to arise even, enjoy, 

219
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,900
even. 
Enjoy job was an intelligent, 

220
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:21,600
man, as well. 
He was very, very, very 

221
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,700
intelligent. 
He was a strategist, and he knew

222
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:27,600
David and he knew his men 
including Uriah, and it just 

223
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,400
didn't line up for Uriah to be 
set up intentionally so that he 

224
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,500
can be in a very vulnerable 
position to the enemy's attacks 

225
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,100
and be left for dead. 
And so this this should have 

226
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:45,000
raised Steve Jobs, eyebrow. 
We're not told his thoughts, 

227
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,200
were not told exactly what he 
thought in this moment, but it 

228
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,100
does make you wonder if this 
meant put the pieces together, 

229
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:57,600
when he would hear down the 
road, that David married, 

230
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,900
uriah's wife And if he 
investigated just a little bit 

231
00:17:00,908 --> 00:17:04,099
of you were to realize that the 
timing of this is just, it's 

232
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:06,800
creating a scenario that you 
would hope is not true. 

233
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,800
And then the timing of the birth
of that child job wasn't inside 

234
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,300
Circle. 
He was not an outsider. 

235
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:16,200
He was not, he was not somebody 
distant, he was very much 

236
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,900
involved with the Affairs of the
King's life. 

237
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,400
He would have known, he would 
have received the exact details.

238
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:24,700
And if this man was an 
intelligent, man, as we have, 

239
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:27,000
every reason to believe he would
have put it together. 

240
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,700
Do you see what's happening 
here? 

241
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,000
And David thinking that he's 
actually achieving success in 

242
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,500
his deceit. 
He's actually getting sloppy, 

243
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:39,900
he's getting sloppy. 
And the principle here is so 

244
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:43,000
loud and so clear. 
And it is this that even the 

245
00:17:43,008 --> 00:17:48,100
most talented of deceivers, 
we'll end up at some point 

246
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,600
exposing themselves 
unintentionally. 

247
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,000
And David here is already doing 
that. 

248
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,300
Never mind, trying to fool God 
and think that you and I can can

249
00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:02,400
trick him. 
But sin is able in a creative 

250
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,900
way to even tell on us to 
others. 

251
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,200
Unsuspecting people, it is quite
fascinating to see how sin has a

252
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,000
way of surfacing before some 
that we never thought it would 

253
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000
come too. 
And find its way around to the 

254
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,900
people that it matters. 
There's so many examples of this

255
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:25,700
in the scriptures are from cover
to cover. 

256
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:29,600
So many things were crashing in 
my mind and one of the clearest 

257
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,300
examples of this is with a man 
that you wouldn't think would 

258
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:36,600
succumb to a life of deception 
and it is it's Abraham's son. 

259
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,300
What's his name? 
Isaac? 

260
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:43,300
And like, father like son, right
there is a plague that hits a 

261
00:18:43,308 --> 00:18:47,300
famine that hits and he goes to 
pagans and he takes Refuge among

262
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:50,100
them. 
And he has a fear that his 

263
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,000
father had. 
He also had a very beautiful 

264
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,400
Wife and he was in a society 
that did not fear God. 

265
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,800
And so this, this strategy 
arises, I will convince the 

266
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,100
people who live under the reign 
of Abby Malik. 

267
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:06,200
And I will tell him that that my
wife is who she's my sister. 

268
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:10,600
She's my sister so that that has
nothing to do with me. 

269
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,100
I'm not responsible for, I don't
oversee her. 

270
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:14,600
She's not, she doesn't belong to
me. 

271
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,100
So, I'm just going to throw her 
under the bus and whatever you 

272
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:20,000
want to do. 
You can do, but just just keep 

273
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
me out of it. 
And so he tells the people, she 

274
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,100
is my sister and then I want you
to see this actually turn to 

275
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:29,200
Genesis 26. 
I want you to see the wording 

276
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,700
that the Holy Spirit provides 
for us in Isaac's attempt to 

277
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:38,400
like David conceal. 
Something that is that is true 

278
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:40,600
to be something that is not 
true. 

279
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,600
And the consequences of this 
varies depending on the nature 

280
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,100
of the light itself. 
A look at 26 of Genesis verse 6.

281
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:55,700
So Isaac settled in guerard, 
when the men of the palace asked

282
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:58,000
him about his wife, he said 
she's my sister. 

283
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,900
For he feared to say my wife 
thinking less, the men of the 

284
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:05,800
place should kill me because of 
Rebecca because she was 

285
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,500
attractive and appearance. 
Now, look at verse 8, this is 

286
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,000
the point that I want to try to 
make when he had been there a 

287
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,600
long time. 
Abby met, like King of the 

288
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,800
Philistines looked out of a 
window and saw Isaac laughing 

289
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,700
with Rebecca. 
His wife the King James says, 

290
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,900
what my King James people 
sporting, and they weren't 

291
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:31,300
playing foosball or anything. 
The where there is some kind of 

292
00:20:31,308 --> 00:20:33,700
an innuendo. 
It's there is caressing. 

293
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,900
There is a flirting things that 
you don't do with your sister 

294
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,100
essentially. 
But do you see the wording here?

295
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:46,800
We're told in verse 8 when it 
had been a long time when Isaac 

296
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:53,200
had been there a long time. 
You know, it's possible. 

297
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,400
To be living a lie for a long 
time. 

298
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,500
It's possible to convince people
of a lie for a long time. 

299
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,900
The Bible is very honest about 
that. 

300
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,200
But that like I can't last 
forever, that's that's the point

301
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,800
here. 
And many people take comfort and

302
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,800
thinking that something has been
going on in the background for a

303
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,200
long time and nobody seems to 
have caught on but then what do 

304
00:21:20,208 --> 00:21:24,300
we see here that at a particular
moment when they thought they 

305
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:26,400
were in private, when they 
thought that they were 

306
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,000
succeeding benefiting from this 
Kingdom, avoiding a plague and 

307
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Isaac being safe from any harm. 
IV, Malik. 

308
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,000
Just happens to come to one of 
his windows out of the many 

309
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,600
windows that he had and looks 
out. 

310
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:46,200
And at that specific moment. 
He sees Isaac sporting with his 

311
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:51,700
sister. 
What do we call that Divine 

312
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:54,100
Providence? 
That's what we call that. 

313
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:57,500
This is not coincidence. 
It's not happenstance. 

314
00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:02,100
This is not random. 
This was God in some way and 

315
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:06,200
thus, with his invisible hand, 
without a miraculous 

316
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,500
intervention, so to speak, 
allowing his precious child to 

317
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:15,700
be exposed so that he can be 
closer to the place of 

318
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:20,000
repentance and be in the will of
God and that includes 

319
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,200
transparency. 
And walking in the light. 

320
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,500
Divine Providence is always at 
work. 

321
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:29,500
My brother, my sister Divine 
Providence is always at it. 

322
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,900
Ever is put on pause, never, 
it's always playing. 

323
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,700
And here's the thing when we're 
walking in conscious obedience, 

324
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,500
it's always in our favor, always
God moves the pieces so that we 

325
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,500
can move and graduate in 
godliness and in his will for 

326
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:48,800
our lives. 
But when we are outside of his 

327
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,900
will intentionally It works to 
discipline us. 

328
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:58,100
And what you see here with Isaac
is that he thought after a long 

329
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:03,300
time he would get away with it. 
But here is a man who sees them 

330
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:09,100
they don't see him and they're 
caught and the confronted and 

331
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:12,000
they have to come to a place of 
confessing the truth or else you

332
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,500
would be in a different kind of 
trouble. 

333
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:18,600
So, what's happening here? 
This is one of God's laws of the

334
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,400
universe at work and it never 
stops working just like the law 

335
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,600
of gravity. 
You can, you can count on this 

336
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,000
law being always in effect. 
As a law of gravity is 

337
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,500
continually in effect that when 
we conceal it will eventually be

338
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,500
revealed. 
That's it that's a log that's 

339
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:38,700
that's a lot of strong as any 
other scientific law. 

340
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,900
This is a law that is 
continually in operation. 

341
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,600
But it's more than just God's 
Divine Providence here. 

342
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:50,000
There's also something to be 
said about the weakness that we 

343
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,100
develop the foolishness that we 
inherit when we are living in 

344
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,700
darkness listen, when you and I 
walking in righteousness, we 

345
00:23:57,700 --> 00:24:00,200
have enough blind spots of our 
own is that not true? 

346
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:03,900
When we intentionally want to be
true Disciples of Jesus Christ, 

347
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,500
there are some things in our 
lives that we don't see that, we

348
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:09,100
need the church, the the 
corporate body to help us 

349
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:13,600
identify how much more when you 
and I are living in darkness. 

350
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,700
How much more do we miss? 
How much more is our judgment 

351
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:20,900
clouded? 
And so we see here with Isaac, 

352
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:24,000
just like, with David as 
consistent, as they thought they

353
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,300
were eventually, because you 
have God's Providence was is 

354
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:31,500
enough and the sloppiness that 
we inherit because of our sin 

355
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:35,400
things are going to happen. 
Things will be exposed. 

356
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,000
Things will slip and sin is very
slippery. 

357
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,700
You think you can hold on to it?
You think you can have a grip on

358
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,800
it but at one point it just you 
lose that grip. 

359
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,900
It tends to make a mess. 
So we see here even in this 

360
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:53,600
letter that he's creating some 
red flags and verse 16 of our 

361
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,100
chapter. 
We read and his job was 

362
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:56,900
besieging the city. 
He assigned, you a ride to the 

363
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:59,800
place where he knew that there 
were Valiant men. 

364
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,000
Now we see something on job 
side, we've already made mention

365
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,500
of it, the orders come from 
David. 

366
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,400
And job complies like, there's 
no questions. 

367
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:13,200
There's no hesitation, there's 
no. 

368
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,900
Why is this being given? 
No, no request for any kind of 

369
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:21,000
clarification. 
He just gives in right away and 

370
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,400
some would excuse jobs 
pliability because they would 

371
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,100
say he's just taking orders and 
he's under pressure, and he 

372
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:30,900
doesn't want to question 
authority, but if you and I are 

373
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:33,700
familiar with jobs history with 
David. 

374
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,200
Then you will know something 
about Joy. 

375
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:40,700
He did not find it difficult to 
stand up against David when he 

376
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:42,000
did. 
Not agree with him is that not 

377
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,700
true many many times when David 
asked for something job would 

378
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:51,000
stand up and disagree. 
And so we know that job was a 

379
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
man who had his own opinion. 
We know that job was a man who 

380
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,100
knew what was right in knew what
was wrong. 

381
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:59,000
Can I prove that to you? 
You're in second, Samuel lemon, 

382
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,900
go to 2nd Samuel 24 David at 
that point, once the senses to 

383
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:06,600
be made for Well, he wants to 
know how many men he has in his 

384
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,300
army. 
And he calls job as one of the 

385
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:15,500
leaders of this project and job 
in verse 3, of second Samuel, 

386
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:20,800
24, look what he says here. 
But job said to the king may the

387
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,200
Lord your God and to the people 
100 times, as many as they are. 

388
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,500
While the Eyes of My Lord, the 
King still see it. 

389
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:31,000
But why does my Lord the king 
the light in this thing? 

390
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,000
He's pushing back. 
He's questioning he's trying to 

391
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000
hold him back from committing 
this grave sin which included 

392
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,600
pride. 
And when we get there, another 

393
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,100
scene that people miss that has 
to do with the book of Exodus. 

394
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:50,000
And so we see draw is willing to
stand up against the king for 

395
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,700
righteousness sake. 
So how do we explain this? 

396
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,900
How is it that when this 
innocent man, you ride Joy of 

397
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:59,200
knew, who Uriah was job knew, 
his Integrity job knew his 

398
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,900
conviction. 
How is it that he's so willing 

399
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:05,800
to give in to this order without
pushing back without any 

400
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,700
protest. 
Here's the thing we have to be 

401
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:10,900
honest, the Bible doesn't tell 
us the Bible doesn't tell us 

402
00:27:10,908 --> 00:27:13,500
about Bible study helps. 
What do I mean by that? 

403
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,000
When you survey the scope of 
joy, Jobs resume. 

404
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:23,200
What you will notice is that job
did not find it very difficult. 

405
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:28,600
To kill people, right? 
He killed people. 

406
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:34,500
He killed innocent people. 
And he was willing to do such a 

407
00:27:34,508 --> 00:27:39,200
thing, never mind, never mind 
war, never mind Justified, 

408
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,800
reasons for killing. 
I'm talking about killing 

409
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,100
innocent parties. 
Whenever you see job doing that 

410
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,700
it is often motivated. 
By personal interest. 

411
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:56,500
In other words, whenever job 
recognize that somebody in his 

412
00:27:56,500 --> 00:28:01,300
field was a Potential Threat to 
his position or his status, he 

413
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:04,200
was more than willing to remove 
them from the scene. 

414
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:07,900
We see that with Abner member 
Abner. 

415
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,400
We're going to see that in a few
chapters with another man named 

416
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
a Mossad. 
Whenever there was somebody who 

417
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,200
rose up that could potentially 
push job out of the way and 

418
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,500
replace him, this man was so 
caught up in his status. 

419
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,800
His identity was so wrapped up 
in his title that he was willing

420
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,700
to Slit. 
Somebody's throat if they even 

421
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:35,900
considered taking his position. 
and we don't know why he was 

422
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:38,700
willing to kill your eyes so 
quickly, but it makes you wonder

423
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:41,400
if he had no problem allowing a 
mighty man like Uriah be 

424
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,500
slaughtered Could it be that? 
It's just one less person to 

425
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:58,800
worry about yes bro. 
Absolutely, absolutely. 

426
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,100
It's the same Spirit. 
It is the same reasoning that 

427
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:05,400
saw was willing to chase down 
David and get rid of him because

428
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,400
he saw him as a potential rival 
to the throne. 

429
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,200
But here's what's happening with
joab. 

430
00:29:11,300 --> 00:29:18,100
Job is willing to reach so low 
because the severity of sin is 

431
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:21,800
often placed in the shadows of 
self interest. 

432
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,900
The severity of our sin, the 
severity of any sin is often 

433
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:29,700
veiled and pushed into the 
Shadows. 

434
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800
While it is being eclipsed by 
self-interest murder, doesn't 

435
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,700
seem like such a big problem if 
it means that you get to keep 

436
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:43,100
what you really want. 
And job here seems to have no 

437
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,000
value or conviction concerning 
those who are created in the 

438
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,300
image of God. 
If he can hold onto the image 

439
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:52,700
that has been granted to him by 
David as the commander of his 

440
00:29:52,700 --> 00:29:56,700
army. 
So he's willing to say, yes. 

441
00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:00,100
Now we come to verse 17 and the 
men of the city came out and 

442
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:02,400
fought with job and some of the 
Servants of David among the 

443
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,800
People Fell Uriah, the hittite 
also also died. 

444
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,500
Something stands out here and 
it's worth mentioning because it

445
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:14,600
has a profound principle. 
In order for joy. 

446
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:20,900
To blur the evidence of 
assassination. 

447
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:28,100
Look how clever he is, he sends 
and sacrifices other innocent 

448
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:32,600
servants. 
So that what is intended, for 

449
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,700
one person would make it seem 
like it was a mission gone bad. 

450
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200
If he had just sent Uriah that 
would have, everybody would have

451
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,300
caught on there something off 
here, but if you send Uriah with

452
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:46,700
a platoon and they all die or 
most of them die, then it just 

453
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:50,300
looks like a bad leadership call
and that's it. 

454
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:55,100
This is getting messy. 
This is getting very nasty. 

455
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:58,200
Okay? 
We have a man who is willing to 

456
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:03,100
kill one man, so he can, he can 
cover himself but it didn't stop

457
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:04,600
there. 
Now, you have to kill more men. 

458
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:08,300
So your I was not the only one 
who died in this whole process. 

459
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:12,300
Now, you have other people other
wives who lost their husbands 

460
00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:15,700
other mothers who lost their 
sons, other siblings, who lost a

461
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:19,700
brother. 
Because of one man who did not 

462
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:23,300
want to confess his sin and the 
point is so obvious. 

463
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:28,300
Is it not? 
oftentimes the entertainment of 

464
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:35,100
sin, Includes the pain of people
that we did not intend to harm. 

465
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,700
The reach-in, the extent of our 
sin goes beyond what we planned 

466
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:44,900
and hoped for. 
And that is just the reality of 

467
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:49,300
the nature of sin. 
And one of the ugly fruits of 

468
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:55,100
selfish ambition when it lives, 
and when it thrives, is that it 

469
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:59,600
does not consider announce the 
well-being of others. 

470
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,400
A person who is dominated by 
self-interest is willing to 

471
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,200
bulldoze through the, through 
the piles of people before them 

472
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,500
without even thinking a second 
thought, there's no hesitation. 

473
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,900
There is no sense of this could 
actually do something. 

474
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:21,800
Now when somebody is absolutely 
consumed with satisfying, a 

475
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,300
desire that only considers that 
person, they are prepared to 

476
00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:30,300
harm people along the way they 
are prepared to do so and that 

477
00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:32,300
is exactly Lee what is happening
here with a man? 

478
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:35,800
Like joab, who was completely 
consumed with self-interest and 

479
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,400
now David and you put these two 
guys together and it's going to 

480
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,300
get ugly. 
And it, is it, we're happy. 

481
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:44,600
We're seeing it right here. 
But listen, one of the signs of 

482
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,300
a healthy conscience. 
One of the fruits, one of the 

483
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:52,200
evidences of a Spirit Led heart 
and mind. 

484
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Is that there is a constant 
consideration of others in the 

485
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,200
pursuit of our decisions and our
planning's in our thoughts. 

486
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,200
That's how you know that the 
holy spirit is dominating your 

487
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,300
heart. 
And one way there is a radar 

488
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:12,500
that doesn't Just Have Your 
Existence bleeping on it. 

489
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:17,700
As it scans through your heart. 
There are other people that you 

490
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:21,600
have in mind when it comes to 
what it is that you want to do, 

491
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,700
or what it is that you don't 
want to do. 

492
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,400
And here's the thing, I mean, we
see here in the context of War, 

493
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,600
we see it here in the context of
actual physical War, right? 

494
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:34,000
People really losing their lives
and you've heard me say this 

495
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:39,100
many times before, but one of 
the most detrimental ingredients

496
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,900
to it. 
Local body moving forward in 

497
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:43,100
advancing and winning the 
battle. 

498
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:47,300
Battles of the spirit is selfish
ambition, and it doesn't have to

499
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:49,400
be in leadership. 
It does not have to be in 

500
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,900
leadership. 
I shared this verse a few weeks 

501
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:54,300
ago in a message, but you heard 
me Satan announcements 

502
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,900
repetition, is really good. 
I want to, I want to I want to 

503
00:33:57,908 --> 00:34:02,200
tell you that in your marriage 
and your household in the local 

504
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,100
church that you're part of 
persistent. 

505
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:09,600
Peace is possible. 
It is you can no constant and 

506
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,100
not just constant maintenance, 
you can know a growth. 

507
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:19,300
In love and fruitfulness and 
peace and reconciliation but it 

508
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,199
requires one thing to be 
omitted. 

509
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:26,400
One thing to be eliminated, 
constantly washed away, cleansed

510
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,500
targeted and shot down every 
single day. 

511
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,699
And Paul tells it it's in 
Philippians 2 in Philippians 2. 

512
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:38,900
He makes it so clear of the one 
poison. 

513
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,500
That needs to be drained 
constantly, in order for a same 

514
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:49,000
mind, Same Love, same goal to be
realized with all of us who have

515
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,699
different backgrounds, different
personalities, and different 

516
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:54,800
issues in Philippians 2 to look 
what he says. 

517
00:34:55,900 --> 00:35:00,700
Complete my joy. 
Complete my Joy by being of the 

518
00:35:00,700 --> 00:35:03,600
same mind. 
Pause, it's possible to be of 

519
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,500
the same mind. 
It's possible for all of us with

520
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,200
our different Ministries and 
different leadership skills, and

521
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,300
different ideas of how things 
should be done. 

522
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:14,800
It's possible to be of the same 
mind, that's what he's saying. 

523
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,800
But not just that, having the 
Same Love. 

524
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,300
Having a mutual love and 
appreciation for others is 

525
00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:27,400
possible in the church. 
Being in full Accord, not part 

526
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,500
Accord, not sub Accord full 
Accord. 

527
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,400
Can you imagine that? 
Can you imagine that once the 

528
00:35:35,408 --> 00:35:38,400
excitement of a new ministry 
comes or a move of God, comes 

529
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,000
and Things become routine and 
people settle in and we do life 

530
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,400
with each other more and more 
because it's usually time that 

531
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,300
reveals trouble when people get 
comfortable one another. 

532
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:51,300
But can you imagine that as time
goes on? 

533
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,400
There's still constant full of 
chord among the Brethren. 

534
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,200
It's Possible full Accord. 
And this is the, this is the 

535
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,300
reason. 
This is the this is the way it's

536
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,900
possible. 
Verse 3, do nothing from selfish

537
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:07,800
ambition. 
Do nothing from selfish ambition

538
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,300
or conceit. 
That is how you achieve. 

539
00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:16,800
One Mind One Love full of court.
But the moment selfish ambition 

540
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,600
comes from any direction. 
Is a moment that that Foundation

541
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,100
of such a possibility begins to 
be weakened. 

542
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:27,900
And even the most beautiful 
Ministry, the beautiful church 

543
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:32,200
family that knew so much history
of love and joy can be corrupted

544
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:35,600
and destroyed. 
Do nothing from selfish 

545
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:36,700
ambition. 
Nothing. 

546
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:37,700
Nothing nothing, nothing, 
nothing. 

547
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:39,500
Nothing. 
Not one thing can be done in 

548
00:36:39,508 --> 00:36:44,200
selfish ambition or conceit but 
in humility count others, more 

549
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,600
significant than yourselves. 
And you will know the joy that 

550
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,500
Paul is speaking of this, 
remember that? 

551
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,200
Remember that, and you and I 
will know, Heaven on Earth. 

552
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,900
Even in Chicago, Illinois, 
believe it or not. 

553
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:04,100
But when a heart is hardened by 
self like what we see here, what

554
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:07,600
an ugly picture murder happens 
and that's why James says you 

555
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,900
guys are killing each other. 
You guys are actually killing 

556
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:13,000
each other in James chapter 4. 
And he gives one of the reasons 

557
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,100
because you're eaten up by your 
passions. 

558
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,900
So Civil Wars, erupt and 
casualties are cause and splits 

559
00:37:19,900 --> 00:37:22,300
happen, and people leave. 
And people that we love and that

560
00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:24,600
we were going to do this thing 
together forever with, and up 

561
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,600
disappearing from our life. 
Why? 

562
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,900
Because somehow, some way 
selfish ambition, got in the 

563
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:33,400
mix, got in the mix. 
That's what we're seeing here. 

564
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,100
People are dying literally dying
because of one man, who would 

565
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,900
not let go of his sin who would 
not confess and it Come clean 

566
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:42,200
before God. 
That's come back to verse 18. 

567
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,300
then job sent and told David, 
all the news about the fighting 

568
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:50,800
and he instructed a messenger 
and he tells them what to say, 

569
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,800
And David here is unfortunately 
only going to provide more 

570
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,400
evidence of just how dark his 
heart has become. 

571
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,900
And it's shown here and how jaw 
prepares the message for the 

572
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:06,200
messenger to approach him. 
And he tells them, these 

573
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,400
Specific Instructions and job 
seems to be anticipating a very 

574
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,100
negative response to the news of
a botched Mission. 

575
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:18,000
And so he's giving a heads up to
this young messenger saying he 

576
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,700
might, erupt so get ready for 
that. 

577
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:26,000
And and the wording that he's 
giving implies that he knows 

578
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,100
David so well that he can almost
predict exactly what he's going 

579
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:32,700
to say. 
That's how connected job was 

580
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:36,300
with David. 
But job also developed a new 

581
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:39,500
insight about David that 
revealed something he knew about

582
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:42,100
him. 
And it was this, if you want to 

583
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:46,000
calm him down, all you have to 
say is Uriah is dead. 

584
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:54,100
Just say that Uriah is dead and 
I know, I know David, he will be

585
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,500
at ease. 
He'll be calm and you will be 

586
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,600
spared from any Wrath of 
bringing bad news. 

587
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,400
This is how far David has come, 
that the news of the death of a 

588
00:39:07,408 --> 00:39:11,900
man like Uriah would actually 
put him at peace. 

589
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,800
Think about that, he's become so
warped by his iniquity that 

590
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:24,000
something such as this. 
Would actually bring him to a 

591
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,700
place of tranquility and rest is
this the same guy? 

592
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:33,600
Who is this person? 
Now here's what's fascinating. 

593
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:38,600
When you go to chapter 12, 
you'll see David's reaction to a

594
00:39:38,607 --> 00:39:41,200
different Injustice. 
That was given in the form of a 

595
00:39:41,207 --> 00:39:43,300
parable. 
So here's what's going to 

596
00:39:43,308 --> 00:39:45,400
happen, Nathan. 
The prophet is going to come. 

597
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,500
He's going to call David. 
Hey, David, are you busy this 

598
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:51,000
afternoon? 
I just need to make a visit. 

599
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:55,200
He makes a visit and he gives 
David a parable and the 

600
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,800
summation of that. 
Parable is a rich man who had so

601
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,300
much flock. 
If a guest comes over the rich, 

602
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:06,600
man does not take one from his 
own, but he finds a poor man who

603
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,800
had one little ewe lamb, and 
that little ewe lamb was like a 

604
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,500
daughter. 
It was fed in his arms. 

605
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:15,100
It was, it was like family. 
Some of you have pets and that's

606
00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:18,600
true for you. 
And this rich man, takes that 

607
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,900
one little ewe lamb kills it, so
that he can feed his guests and 

608
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:26,100
Nathan gives that Parable to 
David. 

609
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:29,400
And this is so strategic from 
the man of God, because David 

610
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,300
was a shepherd Bird. 
Oh, this would have made David, 

611
00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:36,000
especially angry. 
And so, when David hears this, 

612
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,100
remember he's still hiding his 
sin. 

613
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,000
He thought he got away with his 
transgression. 

614
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:48,600
Look at his reaction in chapter 
12 here in verse 5. then David's

615
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,900
anger was greatly kindled 
against the man and he said to 

616
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:57,500
Nathan as the Lord lives, the 
man who has done this deserves 

617
00:40:57,500 --> 00:41:02,400
to die and he shall restore the 
lam for fold because he did this

618
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:08,400
thing and because he had no 
pity, I looked at that and I 

619
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:13,300
thought to myself how 
interesting is it that David and

620
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:17,500
his attitude when it came to 
responding to this man was some 

621
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:21,400
kind of expression of righteous 
Zeal but when it came to his own

622
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:29,500
iniquity he seems undisturbed 
unmoved unconcerned And this is 

623
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,100
especially troubling, you know, 
why? 

624
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,300
Because the sin that David 
committed was much more severe 

625
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:38,400
What? 
This Parable was all about his 

626
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,500
sin was much more severe. 
He stole much more than just a 

627
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:44,800
beast. 
He stole the man's wife, he 

628
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:49,600
stole life. 
He stole so much in order to 

629
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,100
satisfy his lust, the lust that 
visited him. 

630
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,000
And yet. he is so quick to be 
able to judge somebody else's 

631
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:06,000
sin because, listen, a hardened 
heart is not only capable A 

632
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,500
failing to see the severity of 
their own wrong for some reason,

633
00:42:09,900 --> 00:42:13,600
it develops some strange 
boldness to be able to call out 

634
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,700
other people's sin and to judge 
other people's wrong and there 

635
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:23,200
are shortcomings and that kind 
of attitude provides a deceiving

636
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,900
sound sense of justification 
because in that moment you are 

637
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:29,000
able to identify what is right 
and wrong. 

638
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:31,700
Only in others though not in 
yourself. 

639
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,400
And not only that listen, the 
hardened heart gets so gets so 

640
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,500
crazy and out of whack that not 
only is a person who is in 

641
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,300
willful sin. 
Not only is that person able to 

642
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:48,200
get up and preach on sin. 
So powerful, and convicted lie, 

643
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:56,000
for example, But is often 
harsher and more severe in the 

644
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,300
way they cracked. 
The whip of supposed 

645
00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:00,100
righteousness and conviction on 
others. 

646
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:03,900
So what happens is? 
Hypocrites, often become 

647
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:10,900
legalistic Hippocrates often are
accompanied with the 

648
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:14,700
characteristic of being 
legalistic and they project that

649
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,300
legalism on others though they 
would never ever ever live. 

650
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:20,500
According to that same standard.
And if they do, it's a standard 

651
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:22,500
that doesn't matter. 
According to the word of God and

652
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,600
it's all a smokescreen for a 
genuine sin at they're 

653
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,600
committing. 
David in the response to this 

654
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,300
Parable from Nathan, what is he?
What's the verdict that he 

655
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:35,300
makes? 
Let him die. 

656
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,500
Let him die. 
Nowhere in the law. 

657
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,600
Did God give the instruction for
capital punishment for stealing 

658
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,400
somebody's animal. 
The instruction was restoration,

659
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:49,500
but David takes it up to another
level. 

660
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:53,200
He says, kill him. 
Kill him, hang him. 

661
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:58,500
That was unnecessary. 
But here's what happens when sin

662
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:01,700
comes in. 
It makes us cold. 

663
00:44:02,900 --> 00:44:06,600
It makes us harsh and makes us 
unfair when Christ comes in 

664
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:12,300
dominates our hearts, it creates
a compassion and mercy Justice. 

665
00:44:12,300 --> 00:44:14,400
Yes, But True. 
Justice. 

666
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,600
Even for the one who is in sin, 
there is a careful examination 

667
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,900
and a careful calculation. 
That's an operation. 

668
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:25,100
With the person who is truly 
having Christ dominating their 

669
00:44:25,100 --> 00:44:29,000
lives by the spirit. 
But a person who attempts to 

670
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,500
teach or project or discipline 
or rebuke, others Is hardened by

671
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:37,700
sin, will often replicate 
David's attitude and be more 

672
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:42,400
harsh, more severe, more 
unforgiving and more quick. 

673
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:47,300
To say things that not even God 
would say. 

674
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,800
This is this is getting complex 
as a not, but this is the whole 

675
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,800
point is to show us what 
happens. 

676
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,200
So that we would be afraid to 
ever entertain the idea of a 

677
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:00,300
duplicity life. 
It creates all these nasty 

678
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:03,500
cancers that erodes so 
powerfully. 

679
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:12,500
Yes, brother. 
Yes. 

680
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:45,600
Yeah, yeah that's a good 
observation to why does God 

681
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,100
allow these things to go on for 
so long? 

682
00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:51,300
And you have people who are 
victims of other people's sin or

683
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,500
a spouse's unfaithfulness or the
hurt of a church leader, 

684
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:58,300
whatever the case may be, and 
often the question that comes up

685
00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:01,900
and I've heard this question, 
why did God wait for so long or 

686
00:46:01,900 --> 00:46:05,600
why didn't God removed me from 
the scene or when God stops? 

687
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,600
So and so before they committed 
that and the case that I make is

688
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,600
based on this, this study God 
has been trying. 

689
00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:16,400
God has been through, 
providential means, God, has 

690
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:21,500
been putting up obstacle after 
obstacle after obstacle to try 

691
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:25,500
to get David's attention and at 
the same time we have we come to

692
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:29,500
the, we come to the simple 
understanding of how God gives 

693
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:33,000
us autonomy to the extent of 
making our own decisions. 

694
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,300
The word has already been given 
to David, he knows what his 

695
00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:37,500
right. 
He knows the Commandments of 

696
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:40,200
God. 
He was a man who cherish the law

697
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:41,800
and yet still with the 
Revelation. 

698
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,000
He was given he chooses to go. 
The opposite way. 

699
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,000
God has done all that he can to 
get his attention and many, many

700
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,300
ways and eventually it will come
with a strong word in chapter 

701
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:54,800
12. 
So we don't know really all the 

702
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,300
reasons why but I just give you 
a couple of reasons why and I 

703
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:02,400
argue I make the case that God 
often does when a true child of 

704
00:47:02,408 --> 00:47:07,200
God pursues in Attention all sin
and plans to send both from 

705
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,000
scripture, I can prove this and 
even from personal experience 

706
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,100
God, often gets that person's 
attention before they go. 

707
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:17,400
There he provides ways of Escape
as First Corinthians tells us 

708
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:20,900
and what we do, we just shut 
those doors and we just had long

709
00:47:20,900 --> 00:47:23,900
go forward until he makes it 
very clear what we done was 

710
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:26,400
wrong. 
So now we come back. 

711
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,900
What do we see here? 
This is troubling. 

712
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,700
How draw was able to predict? 
What would calm David down? 

713
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,800
But we come to verse 25. 
And we see his actual reaction. 

714
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:46,500
David said to the messenger, 
thus, shall you say to joab? 

715
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,600
Do not let this matter. 
Displease you for the sword 

716
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,200
devours. 
Now one, and now, another 

717
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,500
strengthen your attack against 
the city and overthrow it and 

718
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:58,300
encourage him. 
Pause. 

719
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,100
Think is this the first time 
that David has ever received a 

720
00:48:04,100 --> 00:48:06,900
report of someone that he knew 
dying? 

721
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,500
Is it? 
Or has David been the recipient 

722
00:48:11,500 --> 00:48:16,200
of tragic news before? 
Saul, who else? 

723
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,500
Abner, good Jonathan. 
Let's put Jonathan aside, 

724
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:25,200
Jonathan makes sense, right? 
Saul Abner now, think about how 

725
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,300
he responded to the news of 
their death, where they allies 

726
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:32,100
to David, or they Predators, 
they are enemies. 

727
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:34,900
They wanted him dead. 
And what makes me? 

728
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,500
So startled by this verse is 
contrasting. 

729
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:43,700
His reactions to those people 
when they departed and this man,

730
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,300
when he was put to death, The 
Brokenness, the fasting, the 

731
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:50,900
Weeping, The Wailing, the 
pounding, the writing, the 

732
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:54,900
recording, the songs. 
For unjust men. 

733
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:59,600
For men who didn't deserve it in
a natural and here is a man 

734
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,200
upright filled with Integrity. 
So loyal to the cause of the 

735
00:49:04,207 --> 00:49:08,100
kingdom of God and the King that
God has established and he's put

736
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:10,700
to death and David doesn't bat 
an eye. 

737
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,900
David doesn't even bat an eye. 
Not one tear. 

738
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:18,800
We shed not one. 
Verse was written, not one day 

739
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,500
of fasting. 
Nothing. 

740
00:49:23,300 --> 00:49:26,000
Again, it just reinforces the 
truth that you and I have been 

741
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,200
hearing throughout this study, 
the absolute hardness that 

742
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:35,100
develops When sin is tolerated, 
even in the life of a child of 

743
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:38,800
God, the indifference the 
insensitivity. 

744
00:49:39,900 --> 00:49:41,800
I sometimes I've seen it 
throughout the years, just 

745
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:46,800
unmoved by things that should 
move you just rock hard. 

746
00:49:47,700 --> 00:49:49,800
And what it's going to take for 
somebody who becomes so 

747
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,900
rock-hard is forgot to smash 
that rock. 

748
00:49:53,300 --> 00:49:57,400
Not to wound. 
But to awaken And so here's what

749
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,700
sin does the same way you and I,
and we should preach Faithfully 

750
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,500
that Jesus can transform you and
make you into something that you

751
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,200
never thought you would be by 
his grace and by his blood and 

752
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,800
by his word sin has the same 
power, but the opposite effect, 

753
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,800
it can make you unrecognizable. 
Because that's what we see here 

754
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,200
at David that we do not 
recognize his attitude is 

755
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,700
different. 
His Outlook is different. 

756
00:50:21,700 --> 00:50:24,800
The way he registers events is 
different. 

757
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,000
All for one reason. 
Because he chose to conceal 

758
00:50:30,100 --> 00:50:32,500
instead of confess. 
Who would have thought remember 

759
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:37,200
thou this all started from one 
decision. 

760
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,900
In the beginning of the chapter 
refusing to be in the will of 

761
00:50:39,900 --> 00:50:43,000
God. 
Now, this is what we're seeing 

762
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:45,800
and what we just Trace, just 
follow the tracks. 

763
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:50,200
You come back and it all started
with David making the decision 

764
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:52,300
to stay at home when he was 
supposed to be out on the 

765
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:54,800
battlefield. 
So you do you see the 

766
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,100
trajectory, do you see the 
potential of where a true 

767
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:02,400
servant of God can go when they 
step outside of the will of God 

768
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:06,600
long enough? 
When they refuse to uphold the 

769
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,500
commands of God for their lives.
When they do not see the 

770
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:12,000
necessity of being with the 
Church of God, consistently, 

771
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,400
when do not see the necessity of
being disciplined and meeting 

772
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,100
with the Lord spending time with
the Lord, when they do not 

773
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:20,900
intentionally be zealous for 
good works. 

774
00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:24,600
When we step outside of that 
path, that leads to very dark 

775
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,500
places. 
Here's David now who for up to 

776
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:33,900
this point showed such 
tenderness when even an enemy of

777
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:38,800
his was taken prematurely. 
And here's a man who deserved a 

778
00:51:38,808 --> 00:51:43,000
parade for his death. 
And David is able to go to bed. 

779
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,200
So soundly that very night. 
It's heart-wrenching it's 

780
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,900
heartbreaking. 
Why am I, why am I teaching? 

781
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,100
I want you to hate sin. 
That's why I'm curious to know 

782
00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:57,600
how many times. 
The word sin was mentioned in 

783
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,400
this Bible study, and there's a 
reason for that, you know, 

784
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,400
Jesus, according to Hebrews 1 
was anointed with the oil of 

785
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,900
gladness. 
Do you know why? 

786
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,800
For two reasons? 
We're told there that he loved 

787
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,700
righteousness and what was the 
second thing? 

788
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:17,700
He hated iniquity. 
We think our job as Christians 

789
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:20,700
is just to love righteousness. 
Know, it's also to hate that 

790
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:23,600
which God hates. 
And so if you want to know what 

791
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,300
it means to grow in 
righteousness, it's loving what.

792
00:52:26,300 --> 00:52:30,300
God loves and also parallel to 
that hating what he hates. 

793
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:34,800
One of the signs of growth is 
just that not that you just 

794
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,800
adore what he adores but you 
also abhor what he abhors. 

795
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,500
And so I want you to be in that 
place where there's a righteous 

796
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:46,600
rage for that which hurts God's 
reputation hurts God's people 

797
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:53,500
and hurts other people as well. 
Verse 26, the wife of Uriah 

798
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:55,100
heard that you write her husband
was dead. 

799
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:58,700
She lamented over a husband that
season of sin. 

800
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:04,600
Sweetness quickly became sour. 
Hebrews tells us that the season

801
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:10,600
of sin is but fleeting It is 
fleeting, it is not lasting that

802
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,700
one night, stand, turn into many
nights of morning. 

803
00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:19,600
And it's a picture of what you 
and I can expect when we think 

804
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,400
that we will be satisfied, it 
will always come back like a 

805
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,400
scorpion sting to zap you and 
leave a greater Mark than 

806
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,000
whatever pleasure you enjoy for 
a brief moment. 

807
00:53:30,900 --> 00:53:35,000
But look here, verse 27. and 
when the morning was over, David

808
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,300
sent and brought her to his 
house, and she became his wife 

809
00:53:38,300 --> 00:53:45,000
and bore him a son, Like mission
accomplished. 

810
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,500
Mission accomplished. 
No questions, asked David, not 

811
00:53:50,500 --> 00:53:54,400
only saves himself from 
embarrassment, from the possible

812
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,800
confrontation of bathsheba's 
husband. 

813
00:53:56,900 --> 00:54:00,800
That's done away with he. 
Now acquires a very, very, very 

814
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:07,000
beautiful woman as another wife 
and it's Haram So he had this 

815
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,700
man, who now acquires a 
beautiful wife, who has a son 

816
00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:13,900
and two somewhere, undiscerning,
you know, what happens? 

817
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,200
He seems like a hero here is a 
man now who takes a widow into 

818
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,100
his care. 
Oh, look how sweet David is. 

819
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,700
Look how he's a look, how he 
takes care of his men when they 

820
00:54:26,700 --> 00:54:30,100
die in war. 
He takes their with their wife, 

821
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,300
and he brings a man and he 
nurtures her. 

822
00:54:32,300 --> 00:54:36,500
And what a great man. 
I'm sure some people who heard 

823
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:40,300
the news of this new marriage 
thought that But to the 

824
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:42,400
Discerning maybe like job, like 
this is weird. 

825
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:45,500
This is really, really weird. 
There's something off here, 

826
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,800
we're not told that I can 
imagine. 

827
00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:52,700
It seems like all is well, seems
like everything happened. 

828
00:54:52,700 --> 00:54:54,900
It seems like David's family is 
just growing. 

829
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,900
Maybe he told himself I'll never
do something like that again. 

830
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:06,700
Thankfully nothing was exposed 
nothing exploded and then this 

831
00:55:06,700 --> 00:55:10,400
final haunting phrase, as you 
know, but the thing that David 

832
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,300
had done displeased the Lord, 
God was silent. 

833
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:17,100
As you mentioned, brother? 
God was citing this entire time.

834
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:20,000
Now, one thing was mentioned for
the first time in this chapter, 

835
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,600
the Lord is brought up and all 
that. 

836
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,500
We are told about the Lord is 
that he was displeased with what

837
00:55:26,500 --> 00:55:30,300
David had done. 
Here's the point to make When 

838
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:34,900
God seems silent and he often is
that there's not mean he's not 

839
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:39,800
seeing, because he always is 
when God seems silent, which he 

840
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,200
often is. 
It does not mean he is not 

841
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:47,900
seeing because he always is I 
just try to picture that. 

842
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:52,300
I just I just kind of stepped 
back and I try to Envision this 

843
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:54,800
whole series of things playing 
out. 

844
00:55:56,900 --> 00:56:01,500
And God, I don't know how it 
looked but God just watching it 

845
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:05,600
silently. 
And taking it all in and 

846
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,900
throwing, providential nudges 
along the way. 

847
00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:15,000
It's a, finally, the 
commentaries given to us that 

848
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,900
this displeased the Lord, you 
know, it's the same word that 

849
00:56:17,900 --> 00:56:21,100
David used in verse 25. 
Look at verse 25, Again, David 

850
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:23,900
said to the messenger that she 
still stayed a job, do not let 

851
00:56:23,900 --> 00:56:27,900
this matter. 
Displease, you Don't let this 

852
00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:30,200
matter displease you it's the 
same word don't let it grieve. 

853
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:36,900
You don't let it upset you. 
What a contrast, what David was 

854
00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:41,900
trying to console job with and 
even himself was in total odds 

855
00:56:41,900 --> 00:56:44,800
against what God thought about 
it. 

856
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,200
Men, often approves what God 
disapproves men often Praises, 

857
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:55,900
what God often condemns? 
Men often makes unclear what God

858
00:56:55,900 --> 00:56:57,900
has made. 
Absolutely clear. 

859
00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:01,700
This is, this is one of the main
problems between mankind. 

860
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:07,300
And his creator. 
Don't let this displease you job

861
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,700
and perhaps he was trying to 
tell that to himself. 

862
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
And yet we are told that God was
displeased with it. 

863
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:19,000
Something happens when you read 
your Bible and you continue, go 

864
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,300
to 1st Kings and this is our 
last verse, but look at 1st 

865
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:36,700
Kings 15. 
And look here in verse, look at 

866
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:42,300
verse 4. 
Nevertheless for David's sake, 

867
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:44,400
the Lord. 
His God gave him a lamp in 

868
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,400
Jerusalem, setting up his son 
after him and establishing 

869
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,000
Jerusalem. 
Because David did what was right

870
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,300
in the eyes of the Lord. 
And did not turn aside from 

871
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:59,100
anything that he commanded him 
all the days of his life except 

872
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:01,200
in the matter of Uriah, the 
hittite. 

873
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:05,800
Except in the matter of Uriah 
the hittite. 

874
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,900
What an insightful verse The 
reason that this is being 

875
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:14,700
brought up is because average am
one of the kings of Judah has 

876
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:17,100
sinned against the Lord, and 
this is just one of the 

877
00:58:17,107 --> 00:58:20,500
beginnings of the cycles of the 
Kings of Israel and Judah and 

878
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:22,800
we're being reminded by the Holy
Spirit but God would not cut off

879
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,600
the Covenant that he made with 
David God would only God would 

880
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,200
continue based on one thing and 
that was the promise he made to 

881
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,100
David that we studied in second 
Samuel chapter 7. 

882
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:36,400
But for some reason in the 
reminder of the Covenant that 

883
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,500
God made with David and how that
was going to be. 

884
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,900
Perpetually held onto regardless
of the unfaithfulness of his 

885
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:44,400
successors. 
We're also being reminded of the

886
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:49,800
sin that he committed with and 
against Uriah What's the point 

887
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,500
of that? 
You know, if you read that on 

888
00:58:51,500 --> 00:58:54,800
the surface level it can haunt 
you because what it can, it can 

889
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,800
communicate and it would be the 
right thing. 

890
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,800
Is that? 
God remembers their sin. 

891
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:03,700
Especially the heinous ones, 
especially the very offensive 

892
00:59:03,700 --> 00:59:06,000
ones. 
Especially the ones that deal 

893
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,300
with other people and their 
death or whatever the case may 

894
00:59:08,300 --> 00:59:10,000
be. 
God remembers, he'll never 

895
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,000
forget and he'll bring it up 
from time to time. 

896
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,700
That's not what we're being told
here. 

897
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,100
I believe, the reason why this 
is being brought up so that when

898
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:22,500
God was reminding us through the
spirit in his word, that he 

899
00:59:22,500 --> 00:59:25,200
would continue to be faithful to
the kingdom of Judah. 

900
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,900
It was because he was faithful 
to David even despite David's 

901
00:59:31,900 --> 00:59:37,000
failure. 
Yes, it's a reminder of Davidson

902
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,800
but I believe another message is
being communicated here. 

903
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:47,800
Is that David did Sin? 
And God's covenant, with David 

904
00:59:47,900 --> 00:59:54,200
being protected, was not because
David was perfect because you 

905
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,000
get that impression. 
If there is a period after did 

906
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,300
not turn aside from anything 
that he commanded him all the 

907
00:59:59,300 --> 01:00:02,000
days of his life. 
You would think the reason why 

908
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
God is faithful to David is 
because David out performed 

909
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,300
everybody and David was so 
impressive to God. 

910
01:00:10,300 --> 01:00:12,500
That God says, you know, what 
you stand out from all the other

911
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:15,200
bumbling fools. 
So I'm going to keep my promise.

912
01:00:15,300 --> 01:00:18,600
As with you, David your 
performance was so outstanding 

913
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,200
that I'm actually going to keep 
my word even for generations to 

914
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,600
come. 
And yet the Holy Spirit 

915
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,400
interrupts that potential 
thought by reminding us. 

916
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,300
Hey, he really messed up at one 
point. 

917
01:00:29,100 --> 01:00:32,900
He messed up at other points but
he really royally, no pun 

918
01:00:32,900 --> 01:00:39,700
intended, messed up. 
So in the past three weeks in 

919
01:00:39,700 --> 01:00:42,500
these studies, you and I have 
been being hammered by the word 

920
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:44,500
of God. 
Concerning the subject of sin, 

921
01:00:44,700 --> 01:00:50,700
hiding sin, concealing, sin. 
God, who is incredibly able to 

922
01:00:50,700 --> 01:00:54,000
reveal that sin? 
And we can be just washed with 

923
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:00,100
overwhelming daunting, 
terrifying, truth. 

924
01:01:00,100 --> 01:01:02,200
And there's an element of that, 
which is healthy. 

925
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:08,800
But I want to end on this note. 
God. 

926
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,900
Is willing to hold on to his 
promise regardless of what 

927
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:18,500
you've done. if you are in 
Christ, if you are in Christ, 

928
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,400
That's, that's what I want to 
end on. 

929
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,000
That no matter what stain you 
have in your past, just like 

930
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,100
David. 
The same Holy Spirit. 

931
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,900
Who kept the promise to this, 
man? 

932
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:39,700
Forever. 
Is the same promise keeper. 

933
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:47,900
Who sees in whom you hide. 
And will look past the sin. 

934
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:54,800
And will keep his promise to you
for Christ's sake, forever, and 

935
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,800
ever and ever. 
Yeah, Davidson was brought up 

936
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,000
again in the Bible but can I 
tell you one book in which your 

937
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:08,100
son will never come up again? 
You know, it That precious Book 

938
01:02:08,100 --> 01:02:12,200
of Life. 
That is only reserved for those 

939
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,000
who have been redeemed by the 
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ 

940
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,400
in that record. 
When Christ will I believe in 

941
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,400
some way read our names to 
assure us that we have his 

942
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,600
presence forever? 
I can guarantee beside your name

943
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:35,200
is not one mention of any sin. 
You have committed It will be 

944
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:39,600
blank. 
Because it's been washed by the 

945
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,800
blood of the Lamb. 
That's what you and I have. 

946
01:02:43,700 --> 01:02:45,200
And so, this is for our 
instruction. 

947
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:49,200
But this is also a reminder for 
you, listen in, Jesus Christ, no

948
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:53,400
matter how grade that sin wise, 
even if that sin was murder, I 

949
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,800
know that doesn't mean much for 
church, people. but if you 

950
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,200
remember a few years ago, for 
those who are doing Ministry out

951
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:05,800
there, I forgot where I was 
riding me by Joliet. 

952
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:12,500
Yes. imagine doing Bible study 
with a bunch of teenagers, who 

953
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:19,800
have murdered And sitting across
the table from kids, who learn 

954
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,800
how to shoot a gun before, 
having any kind of idea of how 

955
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,600
to drive a car. 
Knowing how to sell drugs before

956
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,300
knowing how to make a sandwich. 
That means a lot. 

957
01:03:32,900 --> 01:03:36,500
Yeah, you might have murdered 
and your might be blood on your 

958
01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:39,000
hands even if your hands have 
not been developed yet. 

959
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:44,600
But there is someone who shed 
his blood for you, and he can 

960
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,100
wash every single record of that
wrong clean. 

961
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,600
Simply because of your 
repentance and faith in him. 

962
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:59,800
And so today, if you are a 
person who has a stain, there's 

963
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,100
something you're ashamed of 
their, something that Even the 

964
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:05,600
thought of it servicing to your 
mind, makes you want to bang 

965
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,800
your head against the wall and 
maybe that very wrong has never 

966
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,300
been materialized. 
It's only been imagined but it 

967
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:18,100
is so perverse and so ugly and 
so despicable that that that 

968
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:23,600
thing there alone can make death
seem sweet so that you don't 

969
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,300
have to replay it in your mind. 
Even if it's that The blood of 

970
01:04:27,300 --> 01:04:32,200
Jesus is so powerful that it can
be washed under that tide and 

971
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,100
God will never hold it against 
you. 

972
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,100
When you come and you hide in 
him. 

973
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,800
And so I want I want you to be 
comforted by that truth. 

974
01:04:41,700 --> 01:04:43,400
That God does not hold that 
against you. 

975
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,600
If you come to his son and if 
you confess it and if you're 

976
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,900
broken and if you're genuine you
come to him. 

977
01:04:51,100 --> 01:04:53,500
You confess it and let him throw
it in that. 

978
01:04:53,500 --> 01:04:58,900
See forgetfulness and move on. 
And enjoy his favor and his 

979
01:04:58,900 --> 01:05:03,100
Blessing over your life. 
We will continue in this subject

980
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:05,900
but I pray that that truth of 
Grace would give you some kind 

981
01:05:05,900 --> 01:05:09,700
of breath to breathe as you have
perhaps in these past few weeks,

982
01:05:10,300 --> 01:05:15,500
Ben Uptight with this tense 
subject. 

983
01:05:15,500 --> 01:05:19,800
God is good, he is so, so good. 
And he has given this to us to 

984
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,300
remind us. 
Even if his goodness in the 

985
01:05:22,308 --> 01:05:24,500
midst of tragedy. 
We do love you. 

986
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:26,900
Lord, we do love you. 
We love you. 

987
01:05:26,900 --> 01:05:29,600
We love you. 
We thank you for the blood. 

988
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,600
We thank you for the forgiveness
in Jesus, we thank you for 

989
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,500
Calvary. 
We thank you for the cross. 

990
01:05:34,900 --> 01:05:36,600
We thank you. 
That there is not one sin that 

991
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,300
you did not have in mind when 
you died. 

992
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,000
You've considered all iniquity, 
all trespass, all lawlessness. 

993
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:46,300
Saul Rebellion, when you died 
and Lord, we just thank you that

994
01:05:46,300 --> 01:05:50,500
we have been made clean. 
And we thank you that there is 

995
01:05:50,500 --> 01:05:53,500
not one thing you choose to 
remember a hold against us. 

996
01:05:55,100 --> 01:05:57,500
And Lord we we Relish in that 
truth. 

997
01:05:57,500 --> 01:06:00,100
But we also want that truth to 
keep us anchored so that we 

998
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:04,900
would never pervert the grace of
God moving forward, help us 

999
01:06:04,900 --> 01:06:08,600
through the life of David and 
second Samuel 11 to remember. 

1000
01:06:09,700 --> 01:06:16,100
That sins promises are all lies.
And that Lord what you have for 

1001
01:06:16,100 --> 01:06:18,900
us. 
In righteousness, is for our joy

1002
01:06:18,900 --> 01:06:22,800
as much as it is For Your Glory.
Well, we just ask that as we 

1003
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:24,700
worship you on this Friday 
night, our hearts would be 

1004
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:27,900
refreshed refreshed, not just 
with that promise. 

1005
01:06:27,900 --> 01:06:29,700
We heard at the end of the 
study, but even with the 

1006
01:06:29,700 --> 01:06:32,300
warnings that we've been 
receiving throughout this night 

1007
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,500
and Lord, for the person here, 
who is not really in Jesus 

1008
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:38,500
Christ and because they are not 
in Christ, is due to a 

1009
01:06:38,508 --> 01:06:41,800
hesitation of a sin in their 
lives. 

1010
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,200
That is convincing them of a 
false promise or perhaps of 

1011
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:49,000
guilt for something that was 
committed and is holding them 

1012
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,400
back like a iron ball of chain 
around their ankle, Lord, met 

1013
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,600
their eyes be open to see that 
you are willing to cleanse them 

1014
01:06:57,300 --> 01:07:02,000
and receive them and restore 
them completely that you want to

1015
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
like a physician heal them of 
that disease. 

1016
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:08,500
It's your eager desire, Lord, 
may that be a resounding truth 

1017
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:10,500
that rings in the ear of that 
Soul too. 

1018
01:07:10,700 --> 01:07:14,600
Eight and what we worship you 
with this song as we are close 

1019
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:15,400
to sleep. 
Lord. 

1020
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,900
Tonight, we just want to, we 
want to finish this night off 

1021
01:07:17,900 --> 01:07:20,600
with a song, on our lips. 
And with these truths in our 

1022
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,300
heart, we ask these things in 
the name of your living, son. 

1023
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:26,900
The resurrected Christ. 
The Returning King, amen. 

1024
01:07:26,900 --> 01:07:30,100
And amen. 
But stand. 

1025
01:07:31,500 --> 01:07:33,000
And sing to Jesus Christ. 
And sing to Jesus Christ.
