ON VIDEO [past links- verses below]
.Don’t stay in the cave
.Listen to the prophet
.Get into Judah [praise]
.Was Saul tweaking?
NEW- Saul is on the hunt- for David.
He hears David is at a certain place and tells his men ‘why
are you on David’s side- you are all conspiring against me- let’s go get him’.
Saul is in paranoia here- he also calls the priest that gave
David the sword and bread [last chapter] and tells him the same thing.
Saul- in his delusional state- executes 85 priests.
Even Saul’s men would not go along with this- but Doeg- the
man who was there the day David got the sword- carried out this dirty deed.
David is hiding in a cave- he’s in fear- and the prophet Gad
tells him ‘get out of the cave- go to Judah’.
Judah is the tribe of praise- and in a way God is saying
that when we feel like we are in a cave- we need to start praising God.
Praise is a powerful weapon in the kingdom- it brings God’s
presence into our situation.
Often times we don’t see the way we are supposed to go- but
when we praise God- his presence comes- and gives us clear thinking.
David draws 400
disgruntled men around him- people in debt and distress- they identify with the
situation David is in.
These men are the beginning of a great ‘kingdom’ movement
that David is chosen to lead.
Jesus’ men were drawn to him- and saw his suffering.
They witnessed the great drama of the trial and crucifixion-
They too were in great distress- they thought the whole 'Jesus
movement’ was over.
But then- the empty tomb.
He appears to them- with the visible wounds on his body and
says ‘as the Father sent me- so send I you’.
Remember- they are looking at the Son of God- who was
brutally beaten and killed.
And he says ‘now it’s your turn’.
See?
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matt.10:16

Note- Please do me a favor, those who read/like the posts-
re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read them on. I deal with
issues at times that it would be beneficial for some of you to download and
save the file from the Word Press link. This creates a permanent record. The
on-line videos are only good if sites are not hacked- which has happened in the
past. Thanks- John.#
