The House of
The LORD And It’s Strength
Ps 20:2 Send thee help
from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; KJV
·
Help… David is making reference of what David
has found in the past… He has found help from the HOUSE OF THE LORD…
WHAT WAS IT THAT
DAVID WITH SUCH CONFIDENCE COULD SAY WITH SUCH SURETY THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD
HOLDS??? NOT ONLY WHAT HE HAD NEED OF, BUT WHAT I NEED???
NOTE THE PAST…
HOW COULD DAVID KNOW???
1 Sam 21:8 And David said unto
Ahimelech, And is there not here under
thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my
weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom
thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth
behind the ephod: if thou wilt take
that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David
said, There is none like that; give it me. KJV
DAVID CAME TO NOB… HE’S RUNNING FROM SAUL… HE AND HIS PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY
AND THEY ARE WITHOUT A SWORD…
·
DAVID
DISCOVERED ON THAT DAY THAT THE HOUSE OF THE LORD PROVIDED BOTH NOURISHMENT AND
A WEAPON… A SWORD OF VICTORY AND THE DEFEAT OF HIS ENEMY…
JUST ONE SWORD… THAT WAS ALL THE HOUSE OF THE LORD HAD THAT DAY… BUT IT
WAS ENOUGH… LET ME INTERJECT HERE… (THE HOUSE OF THE LORD IN WHAT IT HAS WILL
ALWAYS BE ENOUGH, EVEN MORE THAN ENOUGH…)
DAVID LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON THAT DAY THAT I SEE REASON AS TO THE WHY
HE PUT THIS IN THIS PSALM…
Ps 20:2 Send thee help from the
sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; KJV
OUT OF GOD’S SANCTUARY HE PROVIDED
THE HELP THAT DAVID SO DESPARATELY NEEDED…
The focus is often on the sword, it’s the sword of Goliath; not so much
where it was found…
·
But look at where it was at…
·
And notice who knew the location of it…
1)
Ahimelech… the priest; who knew…
2)
And it was in the house of the LORD…
THE BACK DROP OF THE STORY IS…
David is hungry along with his men… He is running… They have had to hide,
and they are filled with thirst… They are weary… There has been no rest; they
have been in much haste… There was no time for preparation… There are no
weapons… There is no food…
There is ability, but there is nothing in their hand to show or reveal
that ability…
·
DAVID
DISCOVERED IT WAS THAT DAY THAT THE HOUSE OF THE LORD PROVIDED BOTH NOURISHMENT
AND A WEAPON… A SWORD…
DAVID GAINED UNDERSTANDING THAT DAY THAT I SEE HE PUT IN THIS PSALM… OUT
OF GOD’S SANCTUARY HE PROVIDED THE HELP THAT HE NEEDED…
DAVID DIDN’T STOP THERE… I NEEDED A SWORD THAT DAY AND GOD PROVIDED ME
WHAT I NEEDED OUT OF HIS HOUSE…
·
IT WAS ENOUGH…
·
GOD’S HOUSE IS SUFFICIENT…
·
MY GOD SHALL SATISFY… MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY…
·
HE IS SUFFICIENT…
·
HE KNOWS WHAT I NEED AND WHEN I NEED IT…
WHAT DOES DAVID DO???
THERE CAME A DAY MUCH LATER THAT REVEALS THIS LEARNED
LESSON…
DAVID IS DEAD NOW… THIS IS BLEAK DAY… ISRAEL’S SIN HAS
BROUGHT THEM TO THIS PLACE OF LOSS… THERE WAS NO KING ON THE THRONE BUT A
WICKED QUEEN BY THE NAME OF ATHALIAH… SHE GOES IN AND AFTER HER SON WHO WAS
KING IS DEAD SHE THEN KILLS ALL THE KINGS SONS EVEN HER GRANDSONS EXCEPT…
ALL BUT ONE… JOASH IS HIDDEN AWAY… WHERE IS HE HIDDEN???
2 Kings 11:3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And
Athaliah did reign over the land.
KJV
JOASH IS HIDDEN BY A NURSE… WHERE??? IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD…
·
GOD’S HOUSE HAS WHAT YOU NEED…
·
IT WILL PROTECT YOU…
HIS HOUSE DAVID SAID, PS 27:5 HIDE
ME IN THY PAVILION… THY TABERNACLE…
LOOK AT DAVID AGAIN, HE KNOWS WHAT GOD’S HOUSE IS…
HIS HOUSE IS YOUR PROTECTION…
THEN WE SEE WHAT DAVID LEAVES YEARS AFTER HE IS DEAD AND
GONE…
·
DAVID DID SOMETHING THAT HE LEARNED…
·
HE MAY NEVER NEED IT AGAIN… BUT JUST IN CASE
SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS WHAT I NEEDED…
·
JUST IN CASE SOMEONE COMES TO BE IN MY SHOES…
·
JUST IN CASE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO CAME TO THE
PLACE OF NO SWORD, NO PROTECTION, AND NO SUSTAINMENT…
·
THERE IS GOING TO BE A LESSON I AM GOING TO PASS
DOWN…
Jehoiada he is now the priest… David is long gone… David is dead…
Athaliah the wicked woman goes into the house of the LORD… NOT ONLY WAS
IT A PLACE OF PROTECTION FOR LITTLE JOASH BUT NOW…
·
ITS TIME FOR JOASH TO BE SHOWN…
·
ITS TIME FOR THE KING TO STEP FORWARD…
·
BUT HE CAN’T STEP FORWARD EMPTY HANDED… HE CAN’T
BE INTRODUCED WITHOUT AN ARMY… WITHOUT WEAPONS…
THERES AN ENEMY ON
THE THRONE OF DAVID… BUT Jehoiada the priest…
2 Kings 11:10 And to the captains over
hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD. KJV
2 Chron 23:9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest
delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in
the house of God. KJV
GOD PROVIDED A
MEANS… TO DEFEND HIS ANOINTED… AND GOD PROVIDED A MEANS TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY…
BUT IT ALL CAME
FROM HIS HOUSE…
DAVID SAID, ((SEND HELP FROM YOUR SANCTUARY… NOW I KNOW
I THAT THE LORD SAVETH HIS ANOINTED…))
·
It’s a prophecy for you…
·
You’re his anointed…
·
You’re his people…
HIS HOUSE IS WHERE
ITS AT… STAY WITH HIS HOUSE… ITS YOUR PROTECTION… ITS YOUR NOURSHMENT… IT’S THE
DEFEAT OF YOUR ENEMIES… HIS HOUSE HAS JUST WHAT WE NEED…
NOW I KNOW…
EVERYTHING NEEDED---ITS IN THE HOUSE…
John 2:14 And found in the temple those that
sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small
cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make
not my Father's house an house of merchandise. KJV
THE ONLY WAY HIS
HOUSE CANNOT SHOW THAT WHICH GOD WANTS TO SEE THERE… AND THE REASONS WE OFTEN
CANNOT HEAR IS, WHAT IS IN THE HOUSE…
·
WHAT HAVE YOU PUT THERE???
WHEN THE HOUSE
BECOMES SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT HE INTENDED HIS HOUSE TO BE…
·
(A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE…)
·
(THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST…)
·
(WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS…)
WE HAVE REMOVED OR WE HAVE REPLACED WHAT
GOD INTENDED TO BE THERE…
WHEN ALL THE WHILE GOD HAS JUST AS HE SUPPLIED
HELP FOR DAVID… WE TOO SHOULD BE ABLE FIND HELP FROM THE HOUSE OF THE LORD…
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD SHOULD BE THE FIRST
PLACE AND FIRST CHOICE THAT WE GO TO…
THE PREACHED WORD… HIS PRESENCE… HIS
PURPOSE CAN BE FOUND THERE…
