Judges
Rejection of God as King/ Saul
--------------------
David/ His heart
--------------------
David pleaded with God to give him a heart and spirit that would obey Him
--------------------
God sent Samuel to rebuke Saul of his sins but Saul justified himself instead of repenting from the heart.
God sent Nathan to rebuke David of his sins and David repented with tears and sackcloth and fasting from his heart.
God shows us what he desires.
Genuine repentance of our sins against Him.
God wants our heart
--------------------
Now we come to Israel’s third and final king as a united nation, Solomon.
--------------------
Now David is on his deathbed and is giving Solomon his last words.
His last advice.
--------------------
“Be strong and be a man...” — coming from The Giant Slayer
What does our society think it means to be a man?
He then told him what it looks like to be a man —
--------------------
David, who killed Goliath, the same man that the women sang about
--------------------
This David said to his son Solomon, I want you to be strong and to be a man, and this is what that looks like — to obey God and to walk in His ways.
Being a man does not mean being sinful.
Being a man means being like The Man — Jesus
It means that you should be strong, not cruel.
Courageous, not a coward.
Protective, not abusive.
Loving, not distant.
Compassionate, not heartless.
And to persevere in that walk until the day He calls you home.
That’s what it looks like to be a man.
Something that honestly can’t be done without the Holy Spirit of God living within you, and Solomon knew this.
In chapter 8 He said
--------------------
Solomon said in verse 57-58
--------------------
It is God’s indwelling Spirit who changes us into a new creation
--------------------
The Prophet Ezekiel prophesied about a day when all of God’s people will be changed by God and will be filled with God’s Spirit
--------------------
God’s Spirit lives in us with our spirit.
It is by God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit that we are able to put to death the deeds of the body, another way to say that is we are able to repent of sin, or turn from sin through the power of the Holy Spirit.
He didn’t say if you can muster up enough strength to turn from sin, He said if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
And His Spirit doesn’t replace our spirit and make our spirit non existent, His Spirit lives within us along with our spirit.
Your spirit, Your soul is who you are.
--------------------
book — I recieved a book for my birthday full of quotes by A. W. Tozer, so you may end up hearing a lot of his quotes, but I want to give you one now.
He said...
But the Holy Spirit who inspired the Scriptures will expect obedience to the Scriptures.
It is God’s indwelling Spirit who changes us into a new creation and causes us to be devoted to Him, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands.
Without the Holy Spirit in us, we are hopeless and helpless, but through Him we are made new and alive.
But don’t let me give you the wrong impression.
He lives in you and makes you new, causing you to want to follow Him, but He doesn’t turn you into a robot.
He still grants you free will.
You still have the ability to abandon Him and grieve the Holy Spirit as we see Solomon do.
One of the saddest verses in the Bible is found in 1 Kg 11
--------------------
Solomon, the man who gave us so many proverbs, who was the richest and wisest man on the planet, abandoned following God alone at the end of his life, because he was seduced by the world.
His love for women became greater than his love for God.
--------------------
Paul spent three years in Ephesus and he wrote these words to the believers there warning them not to grieve God’s Holy Spirit:
--------------------
Paul warned Timothy about those who left the faith in pursuit of the world.
--------------------
So I close with this:
Younger Generation — Be strong, Love the Lord with all your heart, don’t fall for the lies of the world.
It has nothing to offer you that is worth your eternity.
Older Generation — Persevere, don’t give up after you’ve come so far.
A whole life of obedience doesn’t earn you a free pass to disobey God at the end of your life.
This life is short, we won’t have to suffer long, will you fight the good fight and finish the race?
