1
\n00:00:13,300 –> 00:00:14,700
\nWelcome to good Chris Selfian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,700 –> 00:00:15,980
\nI’m Levi.
\nI’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:16,180 –> 00:00:18,380
\nI’m Jason.
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:18,380 –> 00:00:20,260
\njoining us this week on this
\npodcast. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:20,300 –> 00:00:23,500
\nWe select one talk a week to
\nhelp us get the Bible in our <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:23,500 –> 00:00:26,740
\nDaily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:26,740 –> 00:00:29,620
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:29,620 –> 00:00:31,980
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:31,980 –> 00:00:35,780
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:35,780 –> 00:00:37,180
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now? <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:37,680 –> 00:00:39,640
\nLet’s talk more about this weeks
\ntalk. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:53,880
\nHi everyone, it’s Jason Hensley.
\nFor this week’s episode, we are <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:53,880 –> 00:00:56,400
\ngoing to listen to a class by
\nBrother David Bailey that has <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:56,400 –> 00:00:59,520
\ncome highly recommended.
\nAnd what I mean by that is it’s <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:59,520 –> 00:01:03,280
\nactually been recommended to us
\nby multiple people, at least <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:03,520 –> 00:01:06,720
\nthis series has.
\nSo this series is a series <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:06,920 –> 00:01:10,040
\nspecifically on prayer, and we
\nare going to be listening to <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:10,040 –> 00:01:15,280
\nclass #5 Class five, I think, at
\nleast for me, was probably the <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:15,280 –> 00:01:18,960
\nmost profound concept that
\nBrother David brings up. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:25,280
\nI loved the whole series, but
\nClass 5, the word and prayer is <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:25,280 –> 00:01:29,400
\nreally beautiful.
\nAnd not just beautiful, but it <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:32,040
\nreally opened up my own personal
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:32,040 –> 00:01:34,160
\nAnd I hope that you have a
\nsimilar experience. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:34,560 –> 00:01:38,240
\nHave you ever wondered when you
\nread in scripture that people <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:38,640 –> 00:01:42,480
\nspent hours or an entire night
\npraying? <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:42,480 –> 00:01:44,760
\nHave you ever wondered how did
\nthey do that? <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:48,080
\nYou know, when I’ve tried to do
\nit before, I’ve just fallen <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:48,080 –> 00:01:51,200
\nasleep or things like that.
\nYou know, sometimes we can get <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:51,200 –> 00:01:53,400
\noverwhelmed when we look at
\nScripture and we see the <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:57,600
\nexamples of people there and how
\nmuch they prayed. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:58,720 –> 00:02:03,160
\nWhat Brother David does in this
\nclass that I absolutely love is <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:03,160 –> 00:02:07,520
\nhe explains the connection
\nbetween Scripture and prayer. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:13,000
\nAnd he posits that it’s not just
\nthat people were praying all <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:13,000 –> 00:02:16,920
\nnight, but in fact, it was more
\nlike a meditation. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:16,920 –> 00:02:21,160
\nThere was a going back and forth
\nbetween thinking on Scripture <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:21,160 –> 00:02:25,240
\nand praying, and that that is
\nsort of like a mindset of <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:25,240 –> 00:02:28,160
\nprayer.
\nI absolutely love the idea <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:28,160 –> 00:02:33,800
\nbecause I think it’s really what
\nScripture conveys and what we <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:35,920
\nshould be doing.
\nNot only so, but it’s <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:35,920 –> 00:02:39,760
\nattainable.
\nI think we can meditate, pray <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:39,760 –> 00:02:42,640
\nall of these things together,
\nthink on Scripture, and in doing<\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:42,640 –> 00:02:45,640
\nso, we can have this attitude of
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:45,760 –> 00:02:52,840
\nSo this is class #5 The Word and
\nPrayer by Brother David Bailey <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:53,240 –> 00:02:57,160
\nin his series on prayer, and I
\nhope you find it helpful. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:57,240 –> 00:03:03,440
\nIt’s interesting how the studies
\ntend to dovetail in subjects as <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:03,440 –> 00:03:08,160
\nwe shall see.
\nThe daily tending of the the <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:08,200 –> 00:03:15,640
\nTabernacle with the replenishing
\nof the incense for the the altar<\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:15,640 –> 00:03:21,880
\nof incense and also the the oil
\nfor the lampstand was by design.<\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:23,240 –> 00:03:28,840
\nThe word of and prayer go
\ntogether Is this intimacy that <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:28,960 –> 00:03:36,560
\nthat exists between those two.
\nGod talks with us through His <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:36,560 –> 00:03:40,320
\nword.
\nIt’s sort of a cliche to say <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:40,320 –> 00:03:42,160
\nthat.
\nAnd we, we, we, we say that <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:49,160
\noften, but it’s less contrived
\nthan we may think. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:49,640 –> 00:03:56,360
\nThere is a living person behind
\nthese words, the words of <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:56,360 –> 00:03:59,920
\nScripture.
\nGod spoke those words. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:00,320 –> 00:04:07,640
\nIf you come with me to to Psalm
\n119, Psalm 119 and we begin in <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:07,640 –> 00:04:18,079
\nverse 13 with my lips, have I
\ndeclared all the judgments of <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:18,079 –> 00:04:27,720
\nthy mouth.
\nVerse 72 The law of thy mouth is<\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:27,720 –> 00:04:31,320
\nbetter unto me than thousands of
\ngold and silver. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:32,400 –> 00:04:40,480
\nVerse 88 Quicken me after thy
\nloving kindness, so shall I keep<\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:40,480 –> 00:04:48,080
\nthe testimony of thy mouth.
\nIt’s obvious God spoke these <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:48,080 –> 00:04:53,920
\nwords and this expression is not
\nsort of a poetic device used in <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:53,920 –> 00:04:56,360
\nthe Psalms.
\nIt’s it’s through the word. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:57,000 –> 00:05:01,160
\nOnce you see it, you see it
\neverywhere that these words were<\/p>\n

65
\n00:05:01,160 –> 00:05:12,880
\nspoken out of the mouth of God.
\nConsider how the word of our <\/p>\n

66
\n00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:22,000
\nFather can speak to us.
\nLook at this in Proverbs chapter<\/p>\n

67
\n00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:28,400
\n6, verse 20.
\nIt’s up on the screen here. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:28,760 –> 00:05:32,120
\nMy son, keep thy father’s
\ncommandments, and forsake not <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:32,120 –> 00:05:35,800
\nthe law of thy mother.
\nBind them continually upon thine<\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:35,800 –> 00:05:38,920
\nart, and tie them about thy
\nknee. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:38,920 –> 00:05:44,400
\nWhen thou goest, it shall lead
\nthee, when thou sleepest it <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:44,400 –> 00:05:50,280
\nshall keep thee, and when thou
\nawakest it shall talk with thee.<\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:51,960 –> 00:05:57,960
\nHis words talk with us.
\nJohn Chapter one, verse one. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:57,960 –> 00:06:02,320
\nThose famous words in the
\nbeginning was the Word, and the <\/p>\n

75
\n00:06:02,320 –> 00:06:08,560
\nWord was with God, and the Word
\nwas God. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:06:10,760 –> 00:06:14,880
\nThat expression tells us that
\nthe Word is Him. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:06:17,280 –> 00:06:23,560
\nIt expresses who He is, His
\npurpose, what He wants. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:34,920
\nSo the Bible and Bible study is
\ncoming to know Him and His Son <\/p>\n

79
\n00:06:34,920 –> 00:06:38,840
\nwhom He has sent.
\nNow look at what the psalmist <\/p>\n

80
\n00:06:38,840 –> 00:06:42,880
\nsays in Psalm 119.
\nAgain, come back to to verse 2. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:06:46,360 –> 00:06:52,760
\nBlessed are they that keep His
\ntestimonies and that seek Him <\/p>\n

82
\n00:06:55,160 –> 00:07:02,240
\nwith the whole heart.
\nVerse 10 With my whole heart <\/p>\n

83
\n00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:08,480
\nhave I sought Thee.
\nOh, let me not wander from Thy <\/p>\n

84
\n00:07:08,480 –> 00:07:11,200
\ncommandments.
\nNow we know Psalm 119 is all <\/p>\n

85
\n00:07:11,200 –> 00:07:17,840
\nabout the Word of God, and the
\nseeking of Him is through His <\/p>\n

86
\n00:07:17,840 –> 00:07:20,720
\nWord.
\nBut look at it, it’s personal. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:07:20,720 –> 00:07:26,000
\nWe’re seeking Him through the
\npages of that word. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:07:26,600 –> 00:07:31,600
\nWe’re trying to find him, his
\npersonality, who he is, how he <\/p>\n

89
\n00:07:31,600 –> 00:07:37,160
\nthinks, how he feels.
\nThere’s a personality that spoke<\/p>\n

90
\n00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:44,720
\nthese words about himself.
\nNow, this is what problem Bible <\/p>\n

91
\n00:07:44,720 –> 00:07:50,240
\nstudy and meditation is about.
\nWe seek Him as a living person. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:07:51,440 –> 00:07:56,040
\nBut it goes further because you
\nsee, we involve God personally <\/p>\n

93
\n00:07:56,200 –> 00:08:00,680
\nin our study of this word.
\nLook at verse 27. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:09,480
\nMake me or cause me to
\nunderstand the way of Thy <\/p>\n

95
\n00:08:09,480 –> 00:08:14,480
\nprecepts.
\nSo shall I talk of thy wondrous <\/p>\n

96
\n00:08:14,480 –> 00:08:18,200
\nwords.
\nThe psalmist is praying to God <\/p>\n

97
\n00:08:18,320 –> 00:08:25,560
\nand asking him to show him that
\nGod help him to see these <\/p>\n

98
\n00:08:25,560 –> 00:08:28,880
\nthings.
\nIt’s again in verse 33. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:08:29,200 –> 00:08:36,080
\nTeach me, O Yahweh, the the, the
\nway of thy statues is not just <\/p>\n

100
\n00:08:36,080 –> 00:08:40,240
\nhis statues, it’s the way of his
\nstatutes. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:08:40,400 –> 00:08:47,440
\nAnd he’s asking God to see that
\nthat way, and I shall keep it <\/p>\n

102
\n00:08:47,440 –> 00:08:54,160
\nunto the end.
\nVerse 35 Make me cause me to go <\/p>\n

103
\n00:08:54,160 –> 00:08:59,480
\nin the path of thy commandments,
\nfor therein do I delight incline<\/p>\n

104
\n00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:03,120
\nmy heart.
\nHe’s asking God to incline my <\/p>\n

105
\n00:09:03,120 –> 00:09:07,040
\nheart unto thy testimonies and
\nnot to covetousness. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:09:07,200 –> 00:09:13,280
\nNow, each of these passages is a
\nprayer, and the psalmist asks <\/p>\n

107
\n00:09:13,280 –> 00:09:19,960
\nfor help not only to understand
\nthe Scripture, to understand the<\/p>\n

108
\n00:09:19,960 –> 00:09:27,240
\nway of that Scripture.
\nThe precepts have a way, a path,<\/p>\n

109
\n00:09:29,080 –> 00:09:33,600
\nand it’s the path of God’s
\nprecepts and statutes and his <\/p>\n

110
\n00:09:33,600 –> 00:09:36,440
\ncommandments that he wishes to
\nunderstand. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:09:36,440 –> 00:09:41,880
\nIt’s not just the precept, it’s
\nthe way and the principle, how <\/p>\n

112
\n00:09:41,880 –> 00:09:46,600
\nit works in all its avenues,
\nreally. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:09:47,760 –> 00:09:54,440
\nAs he meditates upon God’s Word,
\nthe psalmist asked God to become<\/p>\n

114
\n00:09:54,520 –> 00:09:59,920
\ninvolved with him personally in
\nhis Bible study. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:10:03,400 –> 00:10:08,440
\nSo Bible study isn’t about
\ngetting just the gems and, and <\/p>\n

116
\n00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:11,320
\nthe, and the, you know, the
\npoints and so on. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:10:11,880 –> 00:10:16,360
\nBible study is about coming to
\nknow him personally. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:10:17,200 –> 00:10:21,360
\nThat’s a lifetime’s worth.
\nAnd the psalmist is asking God <\/p>\n

119
\n00:10:21,360 –> 00:10:25,640
\nto become involved in teaching
\nhim that that happens through <\/p>\n

120
\n00:10:25,640 –> 00:10:32,200
\nhis hand at work in our lives.
\nSo Bible study is more than just<\/p>\n

121
\n00:10:33,080 –> 00:10:36,640
\nacademic.
\nIt’s involving ourselves with a <\/p>\n

122
\n00:10:36,640 –> 00:10:42,000
\npersonality whose voice is heard
\nthrough the pages of this book. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:10:46,920 –> 00:10:51,960
\nBut what about the word of God
\nin our prayers? <\/p>\n

124
\n00:10:52,080 –> 00:10:54,720
\nGoing to come back to this
\nconcept soon that we’ve just <\/p>\n

125
\n00:10:54,720 –> 00:10:57,800
\nbeen looking at.
\nBut what about the word of God <\/p>\n

126
\n00:10:57,800 –> 00:11:01,360
\nin our praise?
\nPeople in Bible times cited <\/p>\n

127
\n00:11:01,360 –> 00:11:05,240
\nScripture in their praise.
\nAnd you just look at the prayers<\/p>\n

128
\n00:11:05,240 –> 00:11:12,160
\nof Moses, Jeremiah, Daniel,
\nDavid, his car, all the faithful<\/p>\n

129
\n00:11:12,800 –> 00:11:14,600
\nwhose prayers are recorded in
\nthe Bible. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:11:14,840 –> 00:11:20,120
\nThey they cite, they allude to
\nScripture continuously, as it <\/p>\n

131
\n00:11:20,120 –> 00:11:23,280
\nwere.
\nJonah, they’re full of <\/p>\n

132
\n00:11:23,280 –> 00:11:27,280
\ncitations.
\nBut brothers and sisters, they <\/p>\n

133
\n00:11:27,320 –> 00:11:31,720
\ndidn’t do this to show off their
\nBible knowledge. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:11:33,240 –> 00:11:37,160
\nThey didn’t do it to sound
\nspiritual. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:44,040
\nJonah didn’t pull out a pocket
\nBible in the whale’s belly to <\/p>\n

136
\n00:11:44,080 –> 00:11:46,640
\npick out the passages that might
\nimpress God. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:11:49,480 –> 00:11:53,280
\nThese passages came out of their
\nheart from their inner being <\/p>\n

138
\n00:11:53,400 –> 00:11:58,760
\nbecause it was there that
\nScripture was part of them. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:12:01,120 –> 00:12:06,000
\nIt came out automatically from
\nthem. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:08,720
\nTheir minds were full of these
\nthings. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:12:09,240 –> 00:12:14,160
\nOur brother in our previous
\nsession, Brother Tim, he he made<\/p>\n

142
\n00:12:14,160 –> 00:12:19,240
\nin his points at the end there
\nserves the scriptures to be to <\/p>\n

143
\n00:12:19,240 –> 00:12:22,800
\nbe able to apply them to the
\nchallenge, challenging choices <\/p>\n

144
\n00:12:22,800 –> 00:12:25,720
\nof life.
\nAnd that’s what they did. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:12:25,760 –> 00:12:30,000
\nThey used the scriptures, but
\nthey didn’t have a dedicated <\/p>\n

146
\n00:12:30,000 –> 00:12:31,840
\nroom for doing their Bible
\nstudy. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:12:33,240 –> 00:12:37,920
\nThey had to commit the
\nscriptures to memory because <\/p>\n

148
\n00:12:37,920 –> 00:12:40,920
\nthere’s only the Levites that
\nhad had the scriptures. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:12:41,320 –> 00:12:44,240
\nThere were very few scriptures
\navailable or copies of the <\/p>\n

150
\n00:12:44,240 –> 00:12:47,440
\nscriptures, so they had to
\ncommit these things to memory. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:12:49,400 –> 00:12:55,960
\nSo it was there, it was in them.
\nNow I want to demonstrate what <\/p>\n

152
\n00:12:55,960 –> 00:12:59,400
\nI’ve been talking about with a
\ncouple of examples. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:03,880
\nI’m going to use Moses and
\nDaniel and we’re going to turn <\/p>\n

154
\n00:13:03,880 –> 00:13:11,960
\nto Numbers 14.
\nNumbers 14. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:13:13,680 –> 00:13:16,640
\nWhen Israel murmured against God
\nat the border of the promised <\/p>\n

156
\n00:13:16,640 –> 00:13:22,560
\nland, Yahweh declared unto
\nMoses, I will make a smite them <\/p>\n

157
\n00:13:22,560 –> 00:13:26,280
\nwith the pestilence and
\ndisinherit them, and will make <\/p>\n

158
\n00:13:26,280 –> 00:13:29,680
\nof thee a greater nation and
\nmightier than they. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:13:30,440 –> 00:13:36,120
\nNumbers 14 verse 12 Now this is
\nthe second time that God offered<\/p>\n

160
\n00:13:36,120 –> 00:13:40,240
\nMoses this this new beginning to
\nstart off through Moses and he <\/p>\n

161
\n00:13:40,240 –> 00:13:43,240
\ncould have kept the promises to
\nto Abraham if he did this. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:13:43,440 –> 00:13:45,880
\nBut we know what Moses did on
\nthe first time. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:13:47,520 –> 00:13:52,040
\nHe appealed on the God and said
\nno look you, you will be look an<\/p>\n

164
\n00:13:52,040 –> 00:13:56,000
\nidiot in the eyes of the nations
\nbecause what you started you <\/p>\n

165
\n00:13:56,000 –> 00:14:00,240
\nhaven’t completed.
\nAnd so is he was concerned with <\/p>\n

166
\n00:14:00,240 –> 00:14:02,720
\nGod’s honor.
\nWell, he does the same again. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:05,600
\nWhy?
\nBecause it worked the first <\/p>\n

168
\n00:14:05,600 –> 00:14:13,000
\ntime.
\nNow on the previous occasion as <\/p>\n

169
\n00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:17,760
\npart of the reconciliation
\nprocess and in Exodus chapter 32<\/p>\n

170
\n00:14:17,920 –> 00:14:22,720
\nonwards, God declared His name
\nto Moses as part of that. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:14:23,560 –> 00:14:28,840
\nAnd he he gave the the virtues
\nof His name in Exodus 34, six <\/p>\n

172
\n00:14:28,840 –> 00:14:31,960
\nand seven.
\nSo what does he do this time? <\/p>\n

173
\n00:14:32,000 –> 00:14:38,600
\nLook at Numbers 14 and verse 17.
\nAnd now I beseech thee, let the <\/p>\n

174
\n00:14:38,600 –> 00:14:45,360
\npower of my Lord be great,
\naccording as thou hast spoken, <\/p>\n

175
\n00:14:45,360 –> 00:14:52,240
\nsaying Yahweh is long-suffering
\nand of great mercy, forgiving <\/p>\n

176
\n00:14:52,240 –> 00:14:55,840
\niniquity and transgression, and
\nby no means clearing the guilty,<\/p>\n

177
\n00:14:56,000 –> 00:14:58,840
\nvisiting the iniquity of the
\nfathers upon the children unto <\/p>\n

178
\n00:14:58,840 –> 00:15:04,680
\nthe 3rd and 4th generation.
\nPardon, I beseech thee, the <\/p>\n

179
\n00:15:04,680 –> 00:15:09,920
\niniquity of this people,
\naccording unto the greatness of <\/p>\n

180
\n00:15:09,960 –> 00:15:14,880
\nthy mercy, as thou hast forgiven
\nthis people from Egypt even <\/p>\n

181
\n00:15:14,880 –> 00:15:19,600
\nuntil now.
\nSee what he’s done. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:15:20,920 –> 00:15:25,800
\nHe’s appealed to God’s own
\nwords. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:15:27,040 –> 00:15:31,360
\nLet the power of my Lord be
\ngreat, according as thou hast <\/p>\n

184
\n00:15:31,360 –> 00:15:34,480
\nspoken.
\nAnd then he cites the <\/p>\n

185
\n00:15:34,480 –> 00:15:38,600
\ndeclaration that God made to
\nhim, back to God. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:15:38,960 –> 00:15:44,200
\nAnd from Exodus 34, six and
\nseven, now in effect, Moses said<\/p>\n

187
\n00:15:44,200 –> 00:15:48,840
\nto God, you declared unto me
\nthat this is what you’re like, <\/p>\n

188
\n00:15:50,040 –> 00:15:55,200
\nand now is the time to give
\npower to your words and your <\/p>\n

189
\n00:15:55,200 –> 00:16:01,040
\ncharacter.
\nAnd it worked because in verse <\/p>\n

190
\n00:16:01,040 –> 00:16:08,040
\n20 it says, I have pardoned
\naccording to thy words. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:16:09,040 –> 00:16:17,320
\nNow how powerful was that?
\nGod heard Moses prayer because <\/p>\n

192
\n00:16:17,440 –> 00:16:24,400
\nof what Moses said, and what
\nMoses said was what God had said<\/p>\n

193
\n00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:29,680
\nabout himself.
\nBut God wasn’t merely chuffed <\/p>\n

194
\n00:16:30,240 –> 00:16:34,920
\nthat Moses cited God’s words
\nback to him as if he’s vain like<\/p>\n

195
\n00:16:34,920 –> 00:16:39,200
\nman is.
\nSimply quoting God’s words in <\/p>\n

196
\n00:16:39,200 –> 00:16:45,040
\nprayer don’t make them spiritual
\nor acceptable. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:16:46,880 –> 00:16:52,080
\nMoses didn’t recite Exodus 34
\nverses 6 and seven verbatim. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:16:53,120 –> 00:16:56,720
\nA lot of it is, but it’s not all
\nyou compare. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:16:56,720 –> 00:17:02,480
\nHere it is on the screen.
\nI’m sorry, I forgot about that <\/p>\n

200
\n00:17:02,520 –> 00:17:08,119
\nemphasis.
\nRight, Exodus 34, Here it is on <\/p>\n

201
\n00:17:08,119 –> 00:17:11,800
\nthe screen.
\nAnd notice the words I’ve given <\/p>\n

202
\n00:17:11,800 –> 00:17:15,319
\nEmphasis to long-suffering and
\ngoodness, that all that he said <\/p>\n

203
\n00:17:15,319 –> 00:17:20,560
\nof God is covenant mercy which
\nforgives. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:17:20,760 –> 00:17:26,160
\nIt’s the mercy that forgives.
\nThose are the two qualities he’s<\/p>\n

205
\n00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:29,280
\npicked out of God’s name and
\ngive an emphasis to because <\/p>\n

206
\n00:17:29,280 –> 00:17:32,400
\nthose are the two he
\nspecifically mentions. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:17:33,880 –> 00:17:37,760
\nHe selects part of Yahweh’s
\ndeclaration that were <\/p>\n

208
\n00:17:37,760 –> 00:17:43,480
\nappropriate to this occasion.
\nSo he called upon Yahweh’s <\/p>\n

209
\n00:17:43,480 –> 00:17:51,440
\nvirtues of long-suffering, His
\nslowness to anger, and he said <\/p>\n

210
\n00:17:52,320 –> 00:17:56,040
\nHis covenant mercy.
\nSo Moses drew upon those <\/p>\n

211
\n00:17:56,040 –> 00:18:02,840
\nattributes because he understood
\nIsrael’s situation and he <\/p>\n

212
\n00:18:02,840 –> 00:18:08,080
\nunderstood how God thinks, His
\npersonality. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:18:13,400 –> 00:18:19,960
\nAnd God accepted Moses request
\nbecause that is how God thinks <\/p>\n

214
\n00:18:21,240 –> 00:18:25,480
\nand how he feels.
\nNow we have here 2 very powerful<\/p>\n

215
\n00:18:25,480 –> 00:18:33,000
\nprinciples that God will respond
\nto Belief in what God says. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:18:34,600 –> 00:18:39,360
\nAnd more than that, thinking
\nabout what he says and finding <\/p>\n

217
\n00:18:39,360 –> 00:18:44,000
\nout how he feels or thinks.
\nIt’s not just a case of quoting <\/p>\n

218
\n00:18:44,000 –> 00:18:47,360
\nback to him, but you hear his
\nwords and believe it. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:18:48,440 –> 00:18:53,600
\nAnd secondly, searching further,
\nyou see how he thinks about that<\/p>\n

220
\n00:18:54,160 –> 00:18:59,280
\nand how that that that what he
\nsays shows his personality. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:19:00,600 –> 00:19:07,280
\nIt’s accepting those things and
\nthe character behind his words. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:19:08,040 –> 00:19:13,320
\nHow many faithful in the
\nscriptures have followed Moses <\/p>\n

223
\n00:19:13,320 –> 00:19:17,280
\nexample and they’ve used these
\nattributes of God that they’re <\/p>\n

224
\n00:19:17,280 –> 00:19:20,960
\nall the way through Scripture
\nand they’ve used them in their <\/p>\n

225
\n00:19:20,960 –> 00:19:23,760
\npraise.
\nThey’ve thought upon my name, as<\/p>\n

226
\n00:19:23,760 –> 00:19:30,880
\nMalachi says, they did Bible
\nstudy on God’s name as a very, <\/p>\n

227
\n00:19:31,200 –> 00:19:36,840
\nvery good exercise for anyone is
\nto think upon those virtues of <\/p>\n

228
\n00:19:36,840 –> 00:19:39,640
\nHis name, to do a Bible study on
\nHis name, get to know Him <\/p>\n

229
\n00:19:39,640 –> 00:19:42,080
\nbecause that’s His declaration
\nabout Him. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:19:43,080 –> 00:19:45,440
\nThat’s why they’re often used in
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:19:46,360 –> 00:19:49,920
\nNow the second example is in
\nDaniel. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:19:49,960 –> 00:19:57,400
\nCome with me to Daniel in
\nChapter 9, Daniel 9. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:19:58,280 –> 00:20:00,960
\nNow Daniel had been studying
\nGod’s word that had been given <\/p>\n

234
\n00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:05,040
\nto Jeremiah, and he discovered
\nthat Jerusalem’s desolation <\/p>\n

235
\n00:20:05,240 –> 00:20:08,680
\nwould last for 70 years.
\nThat’s in Daniel 9, verses two <\/p>\n

236
\n00:20:08,680 –> 00:20:11,560
\nto three.
\nAnd he realizes that the 70 <\/p>\n

237
\n00:20:11,560 –> 00:20:14,280
\nyears were almost up.
\nAnd so he prays about it. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:20:15,600 –> 00:20:18,320
\nNow he didn’t just launch
\nhimself into a prayer and a bit <\/p>\n

239
\n00:20:18,320 –> 00:20:24,520
\nof excitement first, he prepared
\nhimself. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:20:26,080 –> 00:20:33,200
\nAnd he prepared his prayer, he
\nstudied the whole situation and <\/p>\n

241
\n00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:36,800
\nhe can tell this from his
\nprayer, even how he addressed <\/p>\n

242
\n00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:42,320
\nGod in Daniel 9 in verse four it
\nsays, And I prayed unto Yahweh <\/p>\n

243
\n00:20:42,320 –> 00:20:47,440
\nmy God, and made my confession
\nand said, O Lord, the great and <\/p>\n

244
\n00:20:47,440 –> 00:20:51,520
\ndreadful God, keeping the
\ncovenant and mercy to them that <\/p>\n

245
\n00:20:51,520 –> 00:20:54,600
\nlove them, and to them that keep
\nhis commandments. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:20:55,800 –> 00:21:01,320
\nAnd so he described God as the
\ngreat Gadol and the dreadful <\/p>\n

247
\n00:21:01,320 –> 00:21:06,480
\nYahweh God Ale.
\nNow I’m giving emphasis to those<\/p>\n

248
\n00:21:06,480 –> 00:21:13,240
\nwords because he is in fact
\nalluding to a whole passage and <\/p>\n

249
\n00:21:13,240 –> 00:21:18,280
\nDeuteronomy 7 verse 21 is not
\njust one part and picked out. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:21:19,040 –> 00:21:26,520
\nHe’s citing the spirit of
\nDeuteronomy 7, Yahweh, my God is<\/p>\n

251
\n00:21:26,520 –> 00:21:31,120
\namong you, a mighty Gadol ale
\nand terrible Yahweh. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:21:31,880 –> 00:21:35,000
\nAnd Deuteronomy 7 verse nine
\nsays Yahweh thy God. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:21:35,000 –> 00:21:39,920
\nHe is God, the faithful ale,
\nwhich keeps covenant and mercy <\/p>\n

254
\n00:21:39,920 –> 00:21:43,040
\nwith them that love them and
\nkeep his commandments to 1000 <\/p>\n

255
\n00:21:43,040 –> 00:21:46,240
\ngenerations.
\nNow he didn’t quote verbatim, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:21:48,320 –> 00:21:52,680
\nbut this is where his mind was
\nas he addressed God. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:21:54,920 –> 00:22:00,800
\nHe didn’t simply live some nice
\nsounding phrases, but instead he<\/p>\n

258
\n00:22:00,800 –> 00:22:04,400
\nused expressions because of
\ntheir relevance. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:22:06,720 –> 00:22:13,040
\nHe next admitted their guilt and
\njustified God for their current <\/p>\n

260
\n00:22:13,040 –> 00:22:18,480
\nsituation in in Japan, Daniel 9
\nin verses 5 through to 15. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:22:19,160 –> 00:22:21,160
\nBut again, look at how he does
\nthis. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:22:21,560 –> 00:22:26,920
\nHe was guided by God’s Word, and
\nhe draws from Exodus, Leviticus,<\/p>\n

263
\n00:22:26,920 –> 00:22:30,960
\nDeuteronomy, Kings, and Psalms,
\nwhich are all relevant. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:22:32,160 –> 00:22:35,200
\nIn other words, he did an awful
\nlot of Bible study, brothers and<\/p>\n

265
\n00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:37,480
\nsisters, to prepare for this
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:22:37,560 –> 00:22:43,640
\nIt was a special prayer.
\nNow look at the strong things <\/p>\n

267
\n00:22:43,640 –> 00:22:48,040
\nand language in his prayer,
\nbecause I mentioned several <\/p>\n

268
\n00:22:48,040 –> 00:22:52,040
\ntimes some of these expressions
\nthat we have sinned, we have <\/p>\n

269
\n00:22:52,040 –> 00:22:55,800
\ncommitted iniquity in
\ntrespasses, we rebelled and <\/p>\n

270
\n00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:58,280
\ndeparted from God’s precepts and
\njudgements. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:22:58,480 –> 00:23:01,720
\nLook at how He’s acknowledging
\nwhat they’ve done wrong. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:05,600
\nNeither have we obeyed the voice
\nof Yahweh of God. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:23:05,880 –> 00:23:13,760
\nTherefore, the promised curses
\nof the law of Moses have come <\/p>\n

274
\n00:23:13,760 –> 00:23:21,800
\nupon us, and God is absolutely
\njustified. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:23:22,200 –> 00:23:28,320
\nRighteousness belongs to God.
\nNow Daniel went out of his way <\/p>\n

276
\n00:23:28,480 –> 00:23:37,760
\nin verses 5 to 15 to acknowledge
\nIsrael’s sin and to acknowledge <\/p>\n

277
\n00:23:38,120 –> 00:23:45,000
\nGod as being right.
\nAnd in doing this he was <\/p>\n

278
\n00:23:45,000 –> 00:23:49,880
\nfollowing a special passage that
\nadvised him. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:23:49,880 –> 00:23:54,720
\nThat’s what you have to do
\nbecause it’s in Leviticus in <\/p>\n

280
\n00:23:54,720 –> 00:23:59,600
\nchapter 26, verses 40 to 42.
\nNow hear the echoes. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:24:00,760 –> 00:24:08,560
\nIf they shall confess their
\niniquity and the iniquity of <\/p>\n

282
\n00:24:08,560 –> 00:24:14,160
\ntheir fathers with their
\ntrespass, which they trespassed <\/p>\n

283
\n00:24:14,200 –> 00:24:20,040
\nagainst me, and that they also,
\nand that also they have walked <\/p>\n

284
\n00:24:20,240 –> 00:24:26,240
\ncontrary to me, and that I also
\nhave walked contrary unto them, <\/p>\n

285
\n00:24:26,680 –> 00:24:28,920
\nand have brought them into the
\nland of their enemies. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:24:29,000 –> 00:24:33,160
\nIf then their uncircumcised
\nhearts be humbled, and they then<\/p>\n

287
\n00:24:33,160 –> 00:24:37,320
\naccept the punishment of their
\niniquity, then what? <\/p>\n

288
\n00:24:37,320 –> 00:24:41,280
\nI remember the covenant under
\nJacob and Abraham and so on. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:24:43,480 –> 00:24:47,920
\nSo Daniel does exactly what that
\npassage says. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:24:47,920 –> 00:24:54,200
\nHe isn’t cited.
\nHe does what it says. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:24:55,600 –> 00:24:58,920
\nHis prayer is a confession.
\nVerse 4 and 20. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:24:59,400 –> 00:25:03,640
\nHe confessed precisely in the
\nsame spirit as he read it in <\/p>\n

293
\n00:25:03,640 –> 00:25:08,160
\nLeviticus.
\nNow Daniel wouldn’t have known <\/p>\n

294
\n00:25:08,160 –> 00:25:15,600
\nwhat God required unless he had
\nstudied this passage, but <\/p>\n

295
\n00:25:15,600 –> 00:25:18,880
\nthere’s more.
\nYou see, Daniel also cites the <\/p>\n

296
\n00:25:18,880 –> 00:25:24,360
\nwords of another prayer, the
\nprayer of Solomon. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:25:24,480 –> 00:25:29,880
\nWe’ve already looked at it of
\nhis prayer at the inauguration <\/p>\n

298
\n00:25:30,280 –> 00:25:35,960
\nof the temple, 1 Kings 8.
\nAnd it’s evident from Solomon’s <\/p>\n

299
\n00:25:35,960 –> 00:25:41,280
\nprayer that Solomon also had
\nstudied his Bible because he was<\/p>\n

300
\n00:25:41,280 –> 00:25:49,480
\ndrawing from the same passages.
\nGod accepted Solomon’s prayer, <\/p>\n

301
\n00:25:50,280 –> 00:25:55,080
\nso Daniel knows that that’s how
\nGod thinks, and so he studied <\/p>\n

302
\n00:25:55,080 –> 00:25:59,280
\nthose passages.
\nNow notice the language and the <\/p>\n

303
\n00:25:59,280 –> 00:26:02,720
\nideas in this comparison.
\nNow we don’t have time to go <\/p>\n

304
\n00:26:02,720 –> 00:26:04,720
\nthrough it.
\nYou can just see at a glance <\/p>\n

305
\n00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:09,200
\nthat Daniel was borrowing from
\nSolomon the same expressions. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:26:10,600 –> 00:26:17,480
\nSo he’s got that prayer in mind.
\nSo see how careful Daniel was in<\/p>\n

307
\n00:26:17,480 –> 00:26:22,800
\npreparing his prayer when he
\nstudied those passages. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:26:22,880 –> 00:26:28,040
\nHe was genuinely affected by
\nGod’s feelings. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:26:29,200 –> 00:26:32,480
\nHe was genuinely involved,
\ntherefore, in his prayer. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:26:34,760 –> 00:26:38,000
\nAnd how do you think God felt
\nabout a prayer like that? <\/p>\n

311
\n00:26:38,840 –> 00:26:42,280
\nWell, we know because at the
\nbeginning of this application, <\/p>\n

312
\n00:26:42,280 –> 00:26:45,840
\nGabriel was ordered to respond
\nto Daniel’s prayer in verses 20 <\/p>\n

313
\n00:26:45,840 –> 00:26:49,600
\nto 23.
\nSo the faithful not only <\/p>\n

314
\n00:26:49,600 –> 00:26:55,200
\nsearched God’s Word to prepare
\nfor their previous, they studied<\/p>\n

315
\n00:26:55,240 –> 00:26:59,200
\nother people’s prayers as well.
\nNow we’ve already seen Daniel <\/p>\n

316
\n00:26:59,200 –> 00:27:06,240
\ndrew upon Solomon’s prayer when
\nhe came to his in the end of <\/p>\n

317
\n00:27:06,240 –> 00:27:09,040
\nthis prayer.
\nBut what we find then when <\/p>\n

318
\n00:27:09,920 –> 00:27:14,000
\nSolomon comes to asking for
\nforgiveness, he didn’t just have<\/p>\n

319
\n00:27:14,000 –> 00:27:19,000
\nSolomon’s prayer in mind, he had
\nthe prayer of another kid. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:23,960
\nCome with me to verse 18.
\nVerse 18. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:27:25,160 –> 00:27:32,040
\nOh my God, incline or bow down
\nthine ear and hear. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:27:32,840 –> 00:27:36,960
\nOpen thine eyes, and behold our
\ndesolations in the city which is<\/p>\n

323
\n00:27:36,960 –> 00:27:39,960
\ncalled by Thy name.
\nFor we do not present our <\/p>\n

324
\n00:27:39,960 –> 00:27:43,600
\nsupplication before thee for our
\nrighteousnesses, but for thy <\/p>\n

325
\n00:27:43,600 –> 00:27:50,000
\ngreat mercies.
\nO Lord, here, O Lord, forgive, O<\/p>\n

326
\n00:27:50,000 –> 00:27:55,360
\nLord, hearken, and do defer not
\nfor thine own sake, Oh my God, <\/p>\n

327
\n00:27:55,480 –> 00:27:58,320
\nfor thy city and thy people are
\ncalled by thy name. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:27:59,680 –> 00:28:06,560
\nAnd Daniel’s appeal here alludes
\nto the language of Solomon’s <\/p>\n

329
\n00:28:06,560 –> 00:28:10,440
\nprayer in Second of Chronicles
\nchapter 6, verse 40. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:28:11,520 –> 00:28:16,680
\nBut he also draws upon
\nHezekiah’s prayer with <\/p>\n

331
\n00:28:16,680 –> 00:28:22,120
\nSennacherib’s letter in his
\nhand, because here is is are <\/p>\n

332
\n00:28:22,120 –> 00:28:25,320
\nthose words.
\nAnd 2nd of Kings 19 and verse <\/p>\n

333
\n00:28:25,320 –> 00:28:29,400
\n16.
\nYahweh bow down thine ear and <\/p>\n

334
\n00:28:29,400 –> 00:28:33,840
\nhear, open Yahweh thine eyes,
\nand see and hear the words of <\/p>\n

335
\n00:28:33,840 –> 00:28:38,080
\nSynacrab, which hath sent him,
\nwhich hath sent him to reproach <\/p>\n

336
\n00:28:38,080 –> 00:28:42,880
\nthe living God.
\nHe cites just that little bit <\/p>\n

337
\n00:28:42,880 –> 00:28:47,200
\nthere.
\nIt is not just because that nice<\/p>\n

338
\n00:28:47,200 –> 00:28:50,880
\nsounding, it’s because he he
\nquotes them. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:28:50,880 –> 00:28:55,200
\nHe doesn’t even quote them
\nverbatim, but it’s clearly <\/p>\n

340
\n00:28:55,200 –> 00:29:03,560
\nalluding to them and he invokes,
\ninvokes the spirit of Hezekiah’s<\/p>\n

341
\n00:29:03,560 –> 00:29:08,200
\nprayer because Daniel saw the
\nconnection. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:29:09,560 –> 00:29:14,280
\nTheir prayers were over the
\nwelfare of the same city, <\/p>\n

343
\n00:29:14,720 –> 00:29:21,040
\ntotally different circumstances.
\nNow he’s the guy too was a man <\/p>\n

344
\n00:29:21,040 –> 00:29:27,640
\nof prayer and a man of the word.
\nAnd he too was alluding to <\/p>\n

345
\n00:29:27,640 –> 00:29:33,440
\nSolomon’s prayer and also to
\nDavid in Psalm 31 verse 2 and <\/p>\n

346
\n00:29:33,440 –> 00:29:41,320
\nPsalm 71 verse two.
\nNow there was another man who <\/p>\n

347
\n00:29:41,320 –> 00:29:46,600
\nbased his prayer on Daniel’s
\nprayer that come with me to <\/p>\n

348
\n00:29:46,600 –> 00:29:49,840
\nNehemiah.
\nNehemiah then chapter one. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:29:54,200 –> 00:30:00,440
\nThen Nehemiah heard the report
\nthat the walls of Jerusalem were<\/p>\n

350
\n00:30:00,440 –> 00:30:02,840
\nbroken down in the gates thereof
\nburnt with fire. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:30:04,880 –> 00:30:08,800
\nNehemiah reacted very similarly
\nto to Daniel. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:30:08,800 –> 00:30:12,920
\nHe sat down and wept and mourned
\ncertain days, and fasted and <\/p>\n

353
\n00:30:12,920 –> 00:30:16,960
\nprayed before the God of heaven.
\nHe prepared himself, and He <\/p>\n

354
\n00:30:16,960 –> 00:30:23,640
\nclearly prepared his prayer.
\nLook at how he opens his prayer.<\/p>\n

355
\n00:30:23,640 –> 00:30:29,800
\nVerse 5I beseech the O Yahweh
\nElohim of heaven, the great and <\/p>\n

356
\n00:30:29,800 –> 00:30:34,960
\nterrible ale that keeps covenant
\nand mercy for them, that love <\/p>\n

357
\n00:30:34,960 –> 00:30:38,480
\nthem, and observe His commands.
\nThose are Daniel’s expressions <\/p>\n

358
\n00:30:38,880 –> 00:30:42,520
\nand his sentiments.
\nAnd then look in verse 6, Let <\/p>\n

359
\n00:30:42,520 –> 00:30:46,920
\nthine ear now be attentive, and
\nthine eyes open, that thou must <\/p>\n

360
\n00:30:46,920 –> 00:30:51,400
\nhear the prayer of Thy.
\nThose are Hezekiah’s expressions<\/p>\n

361
\n00:30:51,760 –> 00:30:55,160
\nand sentiments.
\nAnd then he continues in the <\/p>\n

362
\n00:30:55,160 –> 00:30:59,480
\nspirit of Daniel, which I pray
\nbefore thee now day and night, <\/p>\n

363
\n00:30:59,640 –> 00:31:04,360
\nfor the children of Israel, thy
\nservants, and confess the sins <\/p>\n

364
\n00:31:04,360 –> 00:31:08,280
\nof the children of Israel, which
\nwe have sinned against Thee. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:31:08,280 –> 00:31:15,600
\nBoth I and my father’s house
\nhave sinned as precisely the <\/p>\n

366
\n00:31:15,600 –> 00:31:19,680
\nsame confession based upon the
\nsame scriptures that Daniel did.<\/p>\n

367
\n00:31:19,680 –> 00:31:24,440
\nBut look how he is thinking for
\nhimself about the Word. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:31:27,480 –> 00:31:30,280
\nThe word that Daniel directed
\nhim to. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:31:31,560 –> 00:31:36,040
\nVerse 8.
\nRemember, I beseech thee, the <\/p>\n

370
\n00:31:36,040 –> 00:31:39,240
\nword that that has commanded
\nthat that commanded thy servant <\/p>\n

371
\n00:31:39,240 –> 00:31:43,320
\nMoses, saying, If ye transgress,
\nI will scatter you abroad among <\/p>\n

372
\n00:31:43,320 –> 00:31:46,280
\nthe nations.
\nBut if you turn unto me and keep<\/p>\n

373
\n00:31:46,280 –> 00:31:50,520
\nmy commandments, and do them,
\nthough they they were of you <\/p>\n

374
\n00:31:50,520 –> 00:31:54,400
\ncast out into the uttermost part
\nof heaven, yet will I gather <\/p>\n

375
\n00:31:54,400 –> 00:31:58,200
\nthem from things, and will bring
\nthem unto the place that I have <\/p>\n

376
\n00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:02,280
\nchosen to set my name.
\nThere, now he cites the the the <\/p>\n

377
\n00:32:02,280 –> 00:32:09,840
\nphrases of Daniel’s passages,
\nand yet he more directly cites <\/p>\n

378
\n00:32:09,960 –> 00:32:15,960
\nLeviticus 26, verse 33,
\nDeuteronomy 425 to 27, third <\/p>\n

379
\n00:32:15,960 –> 00:32:19,320
\nchapter 30, verses 2 to 8, and
\nchapters 12. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:32:19,320 –> 00:32:23,720
\nThis is Deuteronomy 12\/5 to
\nseven and 1423 to 24. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:32:26,080 –> 00:32:28,920
\nNow you have a hope of copying
\nall that down, but that’s <\/p>\n

382
\n00:32:28,920 –> 00:32:32,680
\nwhere’s mine went.
\nHe’d gone there. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:32:32,840 –> 00:32:36,040
\nThat’s the point.
\nHe’d studied that for himself. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:32:37,560 –> 00:32:40,520
\nDaniel directed him there, and
\nhe studied it for himself. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:32:43,040 –> 00:32:49,440
\nSee, these people wanted to make
\nsure that what they said to God <\/p>\n

386
\n00:32:50,040 –> 00:32:54,160
\nwas in tune with how he thought
\nand how God thinks. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:32:55,800 –> 00:33:01,200
\nSo they learned from the prayers
\nof the faithful, and they saw <\/p>\n

388
\n00:33:01,200 –> 00:33:06,040
\nhow God responded to them, not
\njust the words, but the thoughts<\/p>\n

389
\n00:33:06,040 –> 00:33:11,520
\nbehind them, and they went to
\nthe word itself to discover for <\/p>\n

390
\n00:33:11,520 –> 00:33:16,080
\nthemselves.
\nSo they were, they prayed and <\/p>\n

391
\n00:33:16,080 –> 00:33:20,480
\nthey were heard.
\nThey studied their Bibles to be <\/p>\n

392
\n00:33:20,480 –> 00:33:23,560
\nable to do this, brothers and
\nsisters, and they built up this <\/p>\n

393
\n00:33:23,560 –> 00:33:29,120
\nkind of relationship with God.
\nNow, I mentioned earlier to the <\/p>\n

394
\n00:33:29,120 –> 00:33:32,280
\nHebrews, Bible study wasn’t a
\nthing where you could go into a <\/p>\n

395
\n00:33:32,280 –> 00:33:36,760
\nroom full of lexicons and, and
\ndictionaries and, and all your <\/p>\n

396
\n00:33:36,760 –> 00:33:41,120
\nreference materials and, and sit
\nthere studying. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:33:41,120 –> 00:33:46,160
\nThey had to have the Bible in
\nhere for the common photo. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:33:47,040 –> 00:33:51,480
\nIt meant sitting at the feet of
\nthe Levites and memorizing. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:33:52,000 –> 00:33:56,800
\nIt was an oral society so that
\nthey had to listen and they <\/p>\n

400
\n00:33:56,800 –> 00:34:00,960
\nheard and they had very good
\nmemories and then they could <\/p>\n

401
\n00:34:01,760 –> 00:34:06,640
\nthink upon those passages.
\nThat’s meditation, brothers and <\/p>\n

402
\n00:34:06,640 –> 00:34:10,159
\nsisters.
\nNow, meditation is not the navel<\/p>\n

403
\n00:34:10,159 –> 00:34:13,560
\ngazing, emptying of the mind of
\nthe Hindus and the Buddhists, <\/p>\n

404
\n00:34:13,560 –> 00:34:20,960
\nthe New Ages and the therapists.
\nLook at what the Bible says. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:34:21,679 –> 00:34:24,880
\nThat meditationist come with me
\nto our reading in Psalm 1 <\/p>\n

406
\n00:34:26,639 –> 00:34:30,679
\nconcerning the blessed or happy
\nman of verse one. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:34:30,960 –> 00:34:37,679
\nHe says in verse 2, but his
\ndelight is in the law of Yahweh <\/p>\n

408
\n00:34:38,520 –> 00:34:44,760
\nand in His law doth he meditate
\nday and night. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:34:45,639 –> 00:34:50,040
\nAnd the word meditate there is
\nHagar and it means to mutter, <\/p>\n

410
\n00:34:50,040 –> 00:34:56,520
\ntalk, meditate or muse.
\nHis delight is in the law of <\/p>\n

411
\n00:34:56,520 –> 00:35:00,080
\nYahweh.
\nHis His happiness comes because <\/p>\n

412
\n00:35:00,080 –> 00:35:02,200
\nhe meditates in the law day and
\nnight. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:35:02,600 –> 00:35:06,560
\nSo that cannot mean that he sits
\nat a desk with his Bible open <\/p>\n

414
\n00:35:06,720 –> 00:35:11,840
\nand studying day and night.
\nSo what does it mean? <\/p>\n

415
\n00:35:13,080 –> 00:35:14,800
\nWell, it’s in the next verse,
\nverse three. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:35:15,040 –> 00:35:19,960
\nAnd he shall be like a tree
\nplanted by the rivers of water <\/p>\n

417
\n00:35:20,280 –> 00:35:23,920
\nthat Brenneth pours his fruit
\nand his season, his leap also <\/p>\n

418
\n00:35:23,920 –> 00:35:27,040
\nshall not wither, and whatsoever
\nhe doeth shall prosper. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:35:27,040 –> 00:35:31,200
\nYou see, the tree is the key.
\nA person who meditates in the <\/p>\n

420
\n00:35:31,200 –> 00:35:36,040
\nLord day and night is like a
\ntree that’s planted right by the<\/p>\n

421
\n00:35:36,040 –> 00:35:39,840
\nrivers of the waters of the word
\nand he’s the roots are drawing <\/p>\n

422
\n00:35:39,840 –> 00:35:44,640
\nup from that water constantly,
\nconstantly as he goes about his <\/p>\n

423
\n00:35:44,680 –> 00:35:46,920
\nlife and his life throws things
\nat him. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:35:47,080 –> 00:35:50,520
\nHe’s constantly drawing from
\nthat word in response. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:35:52,200 –> 00:35:53,440
\nThat’s what the Lord did, didn’t
\nhe? <\/p>\n

426
\n00:35:53,440 –> 00:35:58,840
\nIn the temptation, He just drew
\nupon the word in answer. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:35:58,840 –> 00:36:02,880
\nAnd that’s what Brother Tim was
\ntalking about, using example of <\/p>\n

428
\n00:36:02,920 –> 00:36:09,400
\nof Josiah, how he would have
\napproached Veronico’s challenge.<\/p>\n

429
\n00:36:11,160 –> 00:36:15,520
\nAnd that’s what they did.
\nThey had that as the basis for <\/p>\n

430
\n00:36:15,520 –> 00:36:19,600
\nthe things that they did.
\nNow, Exodus 30 shows that there <\/p>\n

431
\n00:36:19,600 –> 00:36:25,000
\nwere set times for replenishing
\nthe incense and the oil. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:36:28,200 –> 00:36:31,720
\nAnd we’ve seen that what that
\nmeans for prayer, but it’s the <\/p>\n

433
\n00:36:31,720 –> 00:36:36,520
\nsame for Bible study.
\nThat expression morning and <\/p>\n

434
\n00:36:36,520 –> 00:36:42,800
\nevening we have seen to be also
\nnot just set times, but <\/p>\n

435
\n00:36:42,800 –> 00:36:47,000
\nidiomatic for constantly day and
\nnight. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:36:51,800 –> 00:36:57,880
\nSo Psalm one is expressing what
\nthat means to draw upon the word<\/p>\n

437
\n00:36:57,880 –> 00:37:02,120
\nconstantly.
\nRather, it renders Psalm one <\/p>\n

438
\n00:37:02,120 –> 00:37:08,680
\nverse two this way and in his
\nlaw Duffy talk with himself day <\/p>\n

439
\n00:37:09,200 –> 00:37:13,360
\nand night.
\nMeditation is about talking with<\/p>\n

440
\n00:37:13,360 –> 00:37:18,200
\nourselves about the word.
\nIt’s really talking to the word <\/p>\n

441
\n00:37:18,360 –> 00:37:21,640
\nin ourselves.
\nSo as we go about our daily <\/p>\n

442
\n00:37:21,640 –> 00:37:25,600
\nlives, as we assess those things
\nthat happen in our lives, but we<\/p>\n

443
\n00:37:25,680 –> 00:37:29,880
\nwe discuss with ourselves or
\nwith the word that we have, we <\/p>\n

444
\n00:37:29,880 –> 00:37:33,760
\nhave knowledge of and we think
\nabout the issues and then apply <\/p>\n

445
\n00:37:33,760 –> 00:37:36,680
\nit.
\nThat’s what it’s really saying. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:37:36,680 –> 00:37:39,040
\nAnd this makes sense.
\nYou see, if God’s word is in our<\/p>\n

447
\n00:37:39,040 –> 00:37:43,480
\nheart and we, when we ask of
\nthat word, answers to those <\/p>\n

448
\n00:37:43,480 –> 00:37:46,240
\nissues, the word gives an answer
\nback. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:37:47,000 –> 00:37:49,080
\nThat’s what it said in Proverbs
\n6, didn’t it? <\/p>\n

450
\n00:37:49,400 –> 00:37:53,880
\nWhen our awakest it shall talk
\nwith thee and the words that <\/p>\n

451
\n00:37:53,880 –> 00:37:56,720
\nwere spoken by our heavenly
\nFather. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:37:59,120 –> 00:38:01,080
\nIt’s like a conversation with
\nGod. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:38:03,360 –> 00:38:06,440
\nNow there are several words for
\nmeditation in the Old Testament.<\/p>\n

454
\n00:38:07,840 –> 00:38:11,640
\nHere’s a list of them and I
\nthink there there are others <\/p>\n

455
\n00:38:11,640 –> 00:38:13,320
\nthat are used as synonyms as
\nwell. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:38:13,320 –> 00:38:16,240
\nBut here’s words that are used
\nfor meditation. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:38:16,720 –> 00:38:22,240
\nHagar, Hagiks, siak, suag,
\nzakah, and generally they all <\/p>\n

458
\n00:38:22,240 –> 00:38:25,280
\nmean the same thing, thinking or
\ntalking about something. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:38:26,520 –> 00:38:31,560
\nThe word Zika and zakah have the
\nidea of recalling. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:38:32,760 –> 00:38:37,120
\nIt’s still talking about
\nsomething that you’re recalling <\/p>\n

461
\n00:38:37,120 –> 00:38:42,840
\nin your mind.
\nNow the sounds are made-up of <\/p>\n

462
\n00:38:42,840 –> 00:38:49,360
\ntwo basic types.
\nThey are either meditations or <\/p>\n

463
\n00:38:49,360 –> 00:38:55,240
\nthey are prayers, or a
\ncombination of both. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:38:58,360 –> 00:39:04,360
\nCome with me to Psalm 143.
\nLet’s have an example of a <\/p>\n

465
\n00:39:04,360 –> 00:39:11,120
\nprayer, Psalm 143.
\nNow look through the Psalm. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:39:13,680 –> 00:39:18,360
\nWho is David speaking to all the
\nway through the sun? <\/p>\n

467
\n00:39:27,560 –> 00:39:29,160
\nGod.
\nYeah, this one. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:39:31,480 –> 00:39:34,360
\nHe opens with an appeal to
\nYahweh to hear his prayer. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:39:34,360 –> 00:39:37,320
\nAnd throughout the Psalm, David
\naddresses God. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:39:37,760 –> 00:39:43,880
\nIt’s clearly a prayer.
\nNow, it’s the personal pronouns <\/p>\n

471
\n00:39:44,080 –> 00:39:47,200
\nfor a little bit of grammar
\nagain, but it’s not too hard. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:39:48,080 –> 00:39:52,320
\nThe personal pronouns are the
\nkey to whether it’s a meditation<\/p>\n

473
\n00:39:52,560 –> 00:39:55,840
\nor a prayer.
\nIt’s, it’s like this, the <\/p>\n

474
\n00:39:55,840 –> 00:40:00,400
\nspeaker is in the first person,
\nI, me, my and we ourselves and <\/p>\n

475
\n00:40:00,400 –> 00:40:02,760
\nso on.
\nThat’s the first person. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:40:02,800 –> 00:40:07,240
\nThe second person is those that
\nare spoken to you, your and so <\/p>\n

477
\n00:40:07,240 –> 00:40:08,600
\non.
\nYou’re speaking directly to <\/p>\n

478
\n00:40:08,600 –> 00:40:14,840
\nsomeone and in the the third
\nperson are those spoken about. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:40:16,760 –> 00:40:21,320
\nNow prayers are spoken to.
\nThat’s in the second person to <\/p>\n

480
\n00:40:21,320 –> 00:40:25,720
\nYahweh.
\nMeditations are spoken about <\/p>\n

481
\n00:40:25,920 –> 00:40:30,440
\nYahweh in the third person, and
\nthat’s the key. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:40:31,800 –> 00:40:36,280
\nSo in the Psalm it’s always the
\nthy, thy well in the AV. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:40:37,040 –> 00:40:41,280
\nThat’s what it is.
\nIt’s a it’s a prayer spoken to <\/p>\n

484
\n00:40:41,280 –> 00:40:43,560
\nGod.
\nIt’s in the second person. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:40:44,480 –> 00:40:50,720
\nNow notice how a meditation
\nspeaks about God, not to him. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:40:51,440 –> 00:41:02,920
\nCome with me to Psalm 103.
\nNow notice how he’s speaking <\/p>\n

487
\n00:41:02,920 –> 00:41:05,400
\nfirst of all to himself.
\nThis one. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:41:05,640 –> 00:41:09,280
\nBless Yahweh, O my soul and all
\nthat is within me. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:41:09,280 –> 00:41:12,520
\nBless His holy name.
\nBless Yahweh, O my soul, and <\/p>\n

490
\n00:41:12,520 –> 00:41:15,360
\nforget not all His benefit.
\nHe’s talking to himself. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:41:16,800 –> 00:41:23,960
\nThat’s meditation and all the
\nway through the sun, you you <\/p>\n

492
\n00:41:23,960 –> 00:41:26,600
\nskim through and you’ll see it’s
\nall in the third person he’s <\/p>\n

493
\n00:41:26,600 –> 00:41:31,440
\nspeaking about.
\nHe is all the way through until <\/p>\n

494
\n00:41:31,440 –> 00:41:35,640
\nyou get to verse 20, and then
\nhe’s speaking directly to not <\/p>\n

495
\n00:41:35,640 –> 00:41:42,160
\nGod, but to others.
\nIn fact, it’s the angels in <\/p>\n

496
\n00:41:42,160 –> 00:41:45,640
\nverses 20 to 22, and he calls
\nupon others to bless Young. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:41:46,400 –> 00:41:51,840
\nNow, meditations often do that.
\nMeditations speak to oneself, <\/p>\n

498
\n00:41:51,920 –> 00:41:59,280
\none’s soul, or they call out to
\nthe congregation, to their <\/p>\n

499
\n00:41:59,280 –> 00:42:05,120
\nenemies, to angels to also join
\nwith him. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:42:06,920 –> 00:42:09,280
\nAnd that’s what meditations are
\nlike. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:42:09,360 –> 00:42:15,360
\nIt’s like a real conversation
\nwith either oneself or with <\/p>\n

502
\n00:42:15,360 –> 00:42:17,680
\nothers.
\nNow let’s have a look at another<\/p>\n

503
\n00:42:17,680 –> 00:42:21,240
\nexample.
\nPsalm 105, verses one to four <\/p>\n

504
\n00:42:21,760 –> 00:42:25,600
\ncalls The seed of Abraham is
\nthere in verse six, because he <\/p>\n

505
\n00:42:25,600 –> 00:42:28,480
\nsays, O give thanks unto Yahweh,
\ncall you upon his name. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:42:28,480 –> 00:42:31,000
\nWho’s he speaking to?
\nWell, he tells us in verse six, <\/p>\n

507
\n00:42:31,120 –> 00:42:34,120
\nO ye seed of Abraham, his
\nservant, ye children of Jacob <\/p>\n

508
\n00:42:34,120 –> 00:42:38,560
\nhas chosen.
\nSo he’s calling upon his people <\/p>\n

509
\n00:42:41,800 –> 00:42:44,000
\nto give thanks unto God.
\nAnd then you look through the <\/p>\n

510
\n00:42:44,000 –> 00:42:49,680
\nrest of the sun all the way
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:42:50,160 –> 00:42:52,440
\nIt’s about God.
\nIt’s all in the third person. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:42:52,440 –> 00:42:56,040
\nHe is all the way through.
\nBut notice at the end of this <\/p>\n

513
\n00:42:56,360 –> 00:42:59,120
\n20.
\nI’m sorry, it’s in verse. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:43:00,480 –> 00:43:06,440
\nNo, I’m getting mixed up here.
\nWhat we’ve got is in verse five <\/p>\n

515
\n00:43:06,600 –> 00:43:10,920
\nhe says remember his marvellous
\nworks that he had done his <\/p>\n

516
\n00:43:10,920 –> 00:43:13,200
\nwonders and the judgments of his
\nmouth. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:43:14,280 –> 00:43:18,360
\nSo he calls upon the people to
\nthink upon what God has done and<\/p>\n

518
\n00:43:18,360 –> 00:43:22,960
\nthe rest of the Psalms notice
\nthat would remember that’s that <\/p>\n

519
\n00:43:22,960 –> 00:43:25,800
\nword Zacchar.
\nIt means to bring to <\/p>\n

520
\n00:43:25,800 –> 00:43:28,000
\nremembrance, to to Mull over in
\nthe mind. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:43:28,720 –> 00:43:32,280
\nAnd so he’s remembering the
\nthings stored in the mind about <\/p>\n

522
\n00:43:32,280 –> 00:43:37,920
\nthe history of the people, about
\nGod and his history. <\/p>\n

523
\n00:43:41,080 –> 00:43:43,400
\nThis is typical of Israel’s
\nmeditations. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:43:43,400 –> 00:43:48,160
\nTheir history, creation, God’s
\ncharacter, his works are all <\/p>\n

525
\n00:43:48,160 –> 00:43:51,160
\nsignificant themes for their
\nmeditations. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:43:51,440 –> 00:43:55,320
\nAnd they’re drawing upon the
\nword in connections through the <\/p>\n

527
\n00:43:55,320 –> 00:43:59,040
\nword on these matters.
\nNow, other meditations are more <\/p>\n

528
\n00:43:59,200 –> 00:44:04,560
\npersonal now dealing with
\nobservations of life, of trials,<\/p>\n

529
\n00:44:04,800 –> 00:44:09,280
\nand of one’s need for God or
\nothers simply cut our <\/p>\n

530
\n00:44:09,280 –> 00:44:16,520
\ncontemplations about God.
\nPsalm 100. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:44:18,720 –> 00:44:24,320
\nI just want you to notice the
\nsuperscription because Psalm 100<\/p>\n

532
\n00:44:24,320 –> 00:44:29,200
\nis a Psalm of praise or
\nThanksgiving as it is, but it’s <\/p>\n

533
\n00:44:29,200 –> 00:44:32,720
\na Psalm.
\nAnd it’s interesting that that <\/p>\n

534
\n00:44:32,720 –> 00:44:40,080
\nthese meditations are psalms.
\nThey were meditations set to <\/p>\n

535
\n00:44:40,080 –> 00:44:42,840
\nmusic.
\nAnd if you think about it, <\/p>\n

536
\n00:44:42,840 –> 00:44:50,400
\npsalms contemplate and discuss a
\nparticular theme, and so do our <\/p>\n

537
\n00:44:50,400 –> 00:44:54,200
\nhymns, and many of which are
\nmeditations. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:44:55,360 –> 00:45:01,000
\nBoth psalms and hymns can also
\nbe prayers. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:45:03,080 –> 00:45:06,280
\nThey’re thinking about the
\nperson, and sometimes it’s to <\/p>\n

540
\n00:45:06,280 –> 00:45:10,360
\nthe person or to Yahweh, our
\nheavenly Father. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:45:10,840 –> 00:45:14,320
\nNow most psalms, I mentioned
\nearlier that some are <\/p>\n

542
\n00:45:14,320 –> 00:45:19,440
\ncombinations of, in fact, most
\nare combinations of prayer and <\/p>\n

543
\n00:45:19,440 –> 00:45:21,720
\nmeditations.
\nAnd I want to just give you an <\/p>\n

544
\n00:45:21,720 –> 00:45:28,760
\nexample of this Psalm 93.
\nNow we don’t have time. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:45:28,760 –> 00:45:32,320
\nI’m really skipping through
\nthis, I know, But and I’ve sort <\/p>\n

546
\n00:45:32,320 –> 00:45:36,480
\nof made it simple.
\nThis is how it goes in. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:45:36,480 –> 00:45:40,120
\nVerse one is a meditation
\nbecause it speaks about God. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:45:40,840 –> 00:45:45,120
\nVerses two to three are a prayer
\nbecause they speak directly to <\/p>\n

549
\n00:45:45,120 –> 00:45:47,600
\nGod.
\nVerse four is another <\/p>\n

550
\n00:45:47,640 –> 00:45:51,560
\nmeditation.
\nAnd verse five closes the Psalm <\/p>\n

551
\n00:45:51,680 –> 00:45:56,000
\nwith a prayer, and notice how it
\ndrifts from meditation into <\/p>\n

552
\n00:45:56,000 –> 00:45:59,760
\nprayer and then back again.
\nThe the the psalmist meditation <\/p>\n

553
\n00:45:59,760 –> 00:46:04,800
\nin verse one is about God’s
\nmajesty and his strength and the<\/p>\n

554
\n00:46:04,800 –> 00:46:08,800
\nsurety of God’s word that the
\nearth or the land will not be <\/p>\n

555
\n00:46:08,800 –> 00:46:14,160
\nmoved.
\nAnd that thought spawned his <\/p>\n

556
\n00:46:14,160 –> 00:46:18,480
\nprayer in verses two to three,
\nwhich mentions the floods, which<\/p>\n

557
\n00:46:18,720 –> 00:46:23,280
\nleads to his meditation in verse
\nfour about Yahweh being mightier<\/p>\n

558
\n00:46:23,280 –> 00:46:28,480
\nthan many waters.
\nAnd then his meditation becomes <\/p>\n

559
\n00:46:28,840 –> 00:46:32,120
\na prayer at the end.
\nAnd you can see how natural this<\/p>\n

560
\n00:46:32,120 –> 00:46:35,080
\nis.
\nCan you see how this works? <\/p>\n

561
\n00:46:36,560 –> 00:46:41,600
\nThere’s a certain informality
\nand yet a very deep reverence, <\/p>\n

562
\n00:46:43,200 –> 00:46:52,080
\neven an intensity here in these
\ntimes spent with God and His <\/p>\n

563
\n00:46:52,080 –> 00:46:55,960
\nWord, and it’s all taking place
\nin the mind. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:46:57,400 –> 00:47:11,030
\nWe’ll look at one more, Psalm
\n16, Psalm 16, and once again <\/p>\n

565
\n00:47:11,030 –> 00:47:15,150
\nI’ll put it up here.
\nThe breakdown, verse one this <\/p>\n

566
\n00:47:15,150 –> 00:47:20,150
\ntime opens with the prayer, and
\nthen verses 2 to halfway through<\/p>\n

567
\n00:47:20,150 –> 00:47:23,510
\nverse 5 is a meditation.
\nAnd then there’s this little <\/p>\n

568
\n00:47:23,510 –> 00:47:27,320
\nprayer, the second part of verse
\nfive as he quickly gives a <\/p>\n

569
\n00:47:27,320 –> 00:47:31,040
\nprayer to God based on his
\nmeditation and then immediately <\/p>\n

570
\n00:47:31,040 –> 00:47:35,560
\nin verses 6 to 9 goes back into
\nhis meditation. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:47:36,000 –> 00:47:39,600
\nAnd then verses 10:50, he closes
\nwith prayer. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:47:42,960 –> 00:47:46,640
\nNow often what’s happening here
\nas they move from one to the <\/p>\n

573
\n00:47:46,680 –> 00:47:53,240
\nother, that it’s their
\nreflection, their meditation is <\/p>\n

574
\n00:47:53,240 –> 00:47:58,680
\nusually about convincing
\nthemselves, adding to what <\/p>\n

575
\n00:47:58,680 –> 00:48:01,560
\nthey’ve asked in their prayer or
\nsaid in their prayer. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:48:03,160 –> 00:48:05,760
\nHave you ever noticed this,
\nbrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

577
\n00:48:05,880 –> 00:48:14,760
\nYou know, often in our prayers
\nour minds will drift off onto <\/p>\n

578
\n00:48:14,760 –> 00:48:19,400
\nthe subject we’ve been thinking
\nabout in our prayers, our <\/p>\n

579
\n00:48:19,400 –> 00:48:23,320
\nthoughts, sort of wonders and
\nthoughts about what you’ve just <\/p>\n

580
\n00:48:23,320 –> 00:48:26,800
\nsaid.
\nWe view this as a lack of <\/p>\n

581
\n00:48:26,800 –> 00:48:32,200
\nconcentration.
\nBut the faithful in Israel did <\/p>\n

582
\n00:48:32,200 –> 00:48:35,200
\nthis on purpose and they
\npractised it. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:48:37,920 –> 00:48:43,840
\nIt’s how they meditate.
\nAnd sometimes it was how they <\/p>\n

584
\n00:48:43,840 –> 00:48:46,360
\nprayed and they meditated.
\nCan you see? <\/p>\n

585
\n00:48:46,560 –> 00:48:52,160
\nYou see, they are intimately
\ninvolved together, the two the <\/p>\n

586
\n00:48:52,160 –> 00:48:57,600
\nWord of God and prayer.
\nThere’s more to this than we may<\/p>\n

587
\n00:48:57,840 –> 00:49:00,200
\nrealize.
\nNotice how the transition from <\/p>\n

588
\n00:49:00,200 –> 00:49:02,560
\nmeditation into prayer in verse
\n9. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:49:02,560 –> 00:49:08,200
\nHere he’s meditating in verse 9.
\nTherefore my heart is glad, and <\/p>\n

590
\n00:49:08,200 –> 00:49:12,480
\nmy glory rejoiceth, my flesh
\nalso shall rest and hope, for <\/p>\n

591
\n00:49:12,480 –> 00:49:15,160
\nthou will not leave myself for
\nthat. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:49:15,160 –> 00:49:18,040
\nSee, He’s just just slid into a
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:49:20,400 –> 00:49:23,680
\nIt’s as if the meditation was
\npart of his prayer. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:49:25,480 –> 00:49:30,160
\nNow I want to show you just how
\nclose come with me to Psalm 19. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:49:33,200 –> 00:49:37,600
\nNow Psalm 19 is a meditation on
\nthe word of God, but it <\/p>\n

596
\n00:49:37,600 –> 00:49:40,440
\nconcludes with a prayer, verse
\n14. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:49:40,640 –> 00:49:45,440
\nLet the, and this is the prayer,
\nLet the words of my mouth and <\/p>\n

598
\n00:49:45,440 –> 00:49:51,400
\nthe meditation of my heart be
\nacceptable in Thy sight, O <\/p>\n

599
\n00:49:51,400 –> 00:49:53,480
\nYahweh, my strength and my
\nredeem. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:49:57,600 –> 00:50:03,920
\nHe’s asking God to consider His
\nmeditation in His prayer. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:50:05,560 –> 00:50:09,640
\nIs He here A prayer and the word
\nof God put together intimately, <\/p>\n

602
\n00:50:09,880 –> 00:50:16,160
\nBoth are done before God for His
\nconsideration. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:50:17,320 –> 00:50:22,480
\nNow this is significant.
\nJust come back to Psalm 18. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:50:24,440 –> 00:50:30,600
\nLook at verse one.
\nI will love thee, O Yahweh, my <\/p>\n

605
\n00:50:30,600 –> 00:50:33,840
\nstrength.
\nThat’s a prayer. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:50:34,800 –> 00:50:38,360
\nVerse two, Yahweh is my rock and
\nmy fortress. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:50:38,360 –> 00:50:42,640
\nThird person, it’s a meditation.
\nSo there’s this little prayer at<\/p>\n

608
\n00:50:42,640 –> 00:50:46,920
\nthe beginning and then from
\nverse two right through to verse<\/p>\n

609
\n00:50:46,920 –> 00:50:48,920
\n48, it’s all on the third
\nperson. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:50:49,000 –> 00:50:51,880
\nIt’s a meditation is spoken
\nabout Yahweh. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:50:53,080 –> 00:50:56,720
\nIt’s a meditation on how Yahweh
\nsaved David out of the hand of <\/p>\n

612
\n00:50:56,720 –> 00:50:58,800
\nhis enemies.
\nAnd it right runs right through <\/p>\n

613
\n00:50:58,800 –> 00:51:04,120
\nto verse 48 and then he breaks
\ninto another prayer in verse 49 <\/p>\n

614
\n00:51:04,120 –> 00:51:06,960
\nand then back to meditation in
\nverse 50. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:51:08,280 –> 00:51:14,760
\nNow we have a record of when
\nthis son was first written. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:51:15,440 –> 00:51:19,080
\nNow I want you to hold your hand
\nhere, and compare with that <\/p>\n

617
\n00:51:19,080 –> 00:51:32,310
\noccasion and 2nd of Samuel and
\nchapter 22, Second Samuel <\/p>\n

618
\n00:51:32,310 –> 00:51:39,150
\nchapter 22 and verse one.
\nAnd David spake unto Yahweh the <\/p>\n

619
\n00:51:39,150 –> 00:51:42,550
\nwords of this song in the day
\nthat Yahweh had delivered him <\/p>\n

620
\n00:51:42,550 –> 00:51:45,110
\nout of the hand of all his
\nenemies, and out of the hand of <\/p>\n

621
\n00:51:45,110 –> 00:51:47,710
\nSaul.
\nAnd he said, Yahweh is my rock, <\/p>\n

622
\n00:51:47,710 –> 00:51:49,390
\nand my fortress, and my
\ndelivery. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:51:49,390 –> 00:51:51,430
\nHe goes straight to verse two of
\nPsalm 18. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:51:51,430 –> 00:51:58,160
\nHe does not open with the word
\nof prayer, but look at how it <\/p>\n

625
\n00:51:58,160 –> 00:52:07,520
\nwas delivered.
\nDavid spake unto Yahweh the <\/p>\n

626
\n00:52:07,520 –> 00:52:11,200
\nwords of this meditation, the
\nsong. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:52:13,480 –> 00:52:25,640
\nThis means his meditation about
\nGod was still uttered to him as <\/p>\n

628
\n00:52:25,640 –> 00:52:28,600
\nthis is pretty powerful stuff.
\nThis is how they thought, <\/p>\n

629
\n00:52:28,600 –> 00:52:31,040
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nThis is how they did their Bible<\/p>\n

630
\n00:52:31,040 –> 00:52:38,230
\nstudy.
\nIt’s incredible really, isn’t <\/p>\n

631
\n00:52:38,230 –> 00:52:40,430
\nit?
\nNow we’ve labored the point that<\/p>\n

632
\n00:52:40,430 –> 00:52:45,270
\nGod spoke His Word and He speaks
\nto us through His Word. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:52:45,950 –> 00:52:49,630
\nBut here it says that we should
\ndo our Bible study and <\/p>\n

634
\n00:52:49,630 –> 00:52:53,150
\nmeditations in the presence of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:52:55,360 –> 00:53:01,080
\nIt’s like a real conversation.
\nAnd so as we’re doing our Bible <\/p>\n

636
\n00:53:01,080 –> 00:53:04,040
\nstudy, we also talk with him
\nabout it. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:53:05,640 –> 00:53:07,840
\nThat’s meaningful Bible study,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

638
\n00:53:12,160 –> 00:53:16,120
\nWe view Bible study as studying
\nabout God, don’t we? <\/p>\n

639
\n00:53:18,800 –> 00:53:22,120
\nBut this is how they did it.
\nIt should be done in his <\/p>\n

640
\n00:53:22,120 –> 00:53:24,280
\npresent.
\nWe should include Him in our <\/p>\n

641
\n00:53:24,280 –> 00:53:28,120
\nthinking about him and talk to
\nHim about it. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:53:28,120 –> 00:53:31,560
\nIt is this intimacy in the
\ncommunication. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:53:31,600 –> 00:53:35,240
\nIt is this is a relationship.
\nBecause He’s real, we believe he<\/p>\n

644
\n00:53:35,240 –> 00:53:38,200
\nexists and he’s talking to us.
\nThis is real. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:53:40,200 –> 00:53:44,160
\nNow, because of this close link
\nbetween meditation and prayer, <\/p>\n

646
\n00:53:44,560 –> 00:53:49,760
\nwe often find that the words
\ntranslated meditation are often <\/p>\n

647
\n00:53:49,800 –> 00:53:54,920
\nalso used or prayed because
\nthey’re closely linked. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:53:55,280 –> 00:53:58,240
\nLook at this example, Psalm 5,
\nverse one. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:53:58,960 –> 00:54:02,720
\nGive ear unto my words, O
\nYahweh, consider my meditation, <\/p>\n

650
\n00:54:02,720 –> 00:54:05,320
\nHagi.
\nHow can unto the voice of my <\/p>\n

651
\n00:54:05,320 –> 00:54:09,640
\ncry, my King and my God, For
\nunto thee will I pray my, my <\/p>\n

652
\n00:54:09,640 –> 00:54:12,840
\nvoice shall shall thou hear in
\nthe morning, O Yahweh, In the <\/p>\n

653
\n00:54:12,840 –> 00:54:16,880
\nmorning will I direct my prayer
\nunto Thee, and will will look up<\/p>\n

654
\n00:54:17,280 –> 00:54:20,120
\nso clearly.
\nHe’s talking really primarily <\/p>\n

655
\n00:54:20,120 –> 00:54:23,760
\nabout prayer here.
\nAnd even the word meditation <\/p>\n

656
\n00:54:23,760 –> 00:54:28,480
\nhere means mutterings, but
\nthey’re mutterings of much <\/p>\n

657
\n00:54:28,480 –> 00:54:33,520
\nthought in prayer.
\nAnd here look at this one, Psalm<\/p>\n

658
\n00:54:33,520 –> 00:54:37,680
\n55, verses 16 to 17.
\nAs for me, I will call upon God <\/p>\n

659
\n00:54:37,840 –> 00:54:40,960
\nand Yahweh shall say to me
\nevening and morning, and at noon<\/p>\n

660
\n00:54:41,040 –> 00:54:45,040
\nwill I pray and cry loud, and he
\nshall hear my voice. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:54:45,520 –> 00:54:48,360
\nAnd he’s clearly speaking about
\nprayer here. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:54:48,800 –> 00:54:52,480
\nBut the word pray is seer, a
\nword for meditation. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:54:53,440 –> 00:54:56,400
\nAnd it, it obviously is
\nreferring to the kind of prayer <\/p>\n

664
\n00:54:56,520 –> 00:54:59,600
\nthat we’ve been talking about, a
\nmeditative prayer. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:55:04,680 –> 00:55:07,760
\nAnd so here we have both the
\nword and prayer brought together<\/p>\n

666
\n00:55:07,960 –> 00:55:11,880
\nat the times of prayer.
\nMorning, evening, morning at <\/p>\n

667
\n00:55:11,880 –> 00:55:16,760
\nnoon, they go together.
\nReally, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

668
\n00:55:16,760 –> 00:55:26,000
\nmeditation is a form of prayer.
\nNow I’ve really got to conclude,<\/p>\n

669
\n00:55:26,000 –> 00:55:29,080
\nand I wanted to give you a
\nfantastic example. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:55:29,800 –> 00:55:33,360
\nI’ll leave you with that.
\nJust to let you know you’ve <\/p>\n

671
\n00:55:33,360 –> 00:55:42,320
\nmissed out on something amazing
\nin Psalm 77 and you’ve got all <\/p>\n

672
\n00:55:42,320 –> 00:55:49,040
\nthese words for for prayer.
\nBrother Daniel, Am I able to <\/p>\n

673
\n00:55:49,040 –> 00:55:52,320
\nfinish right on 11?
\nIs that OK? <\/p>\n

674
\n00:55:52,760 –> 00:55:54,720
\nOr should I finish now?
\nI don’t mind finishing right <\/p>\n

675
\n00:55:54,720 –> 00:56:00,720
\nnow.
\nAll right, let’s do this at <\/p>\n

676
\n00:56:00,720 –> 00:56:05,520
\nsuper speed.
\nPsalm 77 and we’ve got several <\/p>\n

677
\n00:56:05,520 –> 00:56:10,000
\nof our words for meditation that
\nall in this, this the sun. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:56:10,880 –> 00:56:16,800
\nIt’s clearly a meditation about
\nmeditation, but it also includes<\/p>\n

679
\n00:56:16,800 –> 00:56:25,440
\nprayers.
\nPsalm 77 and in verse 1 I cried <\/p>\n

680
\n00:56:25,440 –> 00:56:29,560
\nunto Yahweh with my voice, even
\nunto God with my voice, and I <\/p>\n

681
\n00:56:29,560 –> 00:56:33,560
\ngave, and he gave ear unto me.
\nIn the day of my trouble I <\/p>\n

682
\n00:56:33,560 –> 00:56:36,600
\nsought the Lord.
\nMy soul ran in the night and <\/p>\n

683
\n00:56:36,600 –> 00:56:39,760
\nceased not.
\nMy soul refused to be comforted.<\/p>\n

684
\n00:56:40,000 –> 00:56:46,080
\nI remembered zakah God and was
\ntroubled. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:56:46,400 –> 00:56:55,600
\nI complained seer he meditated
\nand my spirit was overwhelmed <\/p>\n

686
\n00:56:55,720 –> 00:56:59,080
\nSina that why was he troubled
\nwhen he meditated upon God’s <\/p>\n

687
\n00:56:59,080 –> 00:57:01,720
\nword?
\nWell, he was so distressed, he <\/p>\n

688
\n00:57:01,720 –> 00:57:05,440
\nsays, and there’s four thou
\nwholest my eyes waking and I’m <\/p>\n

689
\n00:57:05,440 –> 00:57:10,000
\nso troubled I cannot speak.
\nHis meditation caused his <\/p>\n

690
\n00:57:10,120 –> 00:57:14,200
\nsleeplessness and he finds it
\ndifficult to continue with his <\/p>\n

691
\n00:57:14,200 –> 00:57:15,800
\nmeditation.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

692
\n00:57:16,440 –> 00:57:20,920
\nWell, this is what he had done.
\nThis far I have considered, <\/p>\n

693
\n00:57:21,440 –> 00:57:25,600
\ncounted, reckoned, thought upon.
\nHe meditated, meditated upon the<\/p>\n

694
\n00:57:25,600 –> 00:57:28,560
\ndays of old, the years of
\nancient times. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:57:28,720 –> 00:57:35,360
\nI called to remembrance my song.
\nThis was a meditation he had <\/p>\n

696
\n00:57:35,360 –> 00:57:41,560
\nwritten and he’d made into a
\nsong and and he recalled that <\/p>\n

697
\n00:57:41,560 –> 00:57:44,320
\nsong in the night I commute.
\nSee ya. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:57:44,440 –> 00:57:49,960
\nHe talked with my own heart and
\nmy spirit made diligent search <\/p>\n

699
\n00:57:50,080 –> 00:57:52,680
\nand he searched the scriptures
\nin his mind. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:57:52,920 –> 00:57:55,320
\nThis is part of what meditation
\nis. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:57:58,160 –> 00:57:59,760
\nWhat was it then that disturbed
\nhim? <\/p>\n

702
\n00:57:59,880 –> 00:58:04,400
\nWell, he says verse seven, will
\nthe Lord cast off forever? <\/p>\n

703
\n00:58:04,880 –> 00:58:06,760
\nAnd will He be favourable no
\nmore? <\/p>\n

704
\n00:58:07,080 –> 00:58:10,040
\nIs his mercy clear?
\nGod forever Does his promise <\/p>\n

705
\n00:58:10,040 –> 00:58:12,920
\nfail forever?
\nLord, hath God forgotten to be <\/p>\n

706
\n00:58:12,920 –> 00:58:15,800
\ngracious?
\nHath he in anger shut up his <\/p>\n

707
\n00:58:15,960 –> 00:58:17,880
\ntender mercies?
\nSealer? <\/p>\n

708
\n00:58:18,360 –> 00:58:22,800
\nAnd he searches the Scriptures,
\nHe searches the Word, and he <\/p>\n

709
\n00:58:22,800 –> 00:58:26,280
\ncan’t find anywhere that God has
\ncast off forever. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:58:31,120 –> 00:58:34,400
\nBut the circumstances he’s in
\nseem to deny this. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:58:36,320 –> 00:58:40,560
\nIt’s like that at times, isn’t
\nit, Brothers and sisters, what <\/p>\n

712
\n00:58:40,560 –> 00:58:43,840
\nthe Word says in our own
\ncircumstances at times seem like<\/p>\n

713
\n00:58:43,840 –> 00:58:48,200
\nGod has forsaken us.
\nThat’s how the psalmist felt. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:58:48,720 –> 00:58:51,680
\nAnd then he pulls himself
\ntogether in in verse 10. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:58:52,520 –> 00:59:00,720
\nAnd I said this is my infirmity,
\nbut I will remember the years of<\/p>\n

716
\n00:59:00,720 –> 00:59:03,840
\nthe right hand of the Most High.
\nHe’s strengthening himself now. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:59:04,520 –> 00:59:09,680
\nI will remember the works of
\nYahweh, third person about <\/p>\n

718
\n00:59:09,680 –> 00:59:13,640
\nYahweh, surely I will remember
\nthy wonders about. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:59:13,640 –> 00:59:17,200
\nHe’s turned into a prayer now.
\nHe’s trying to strengthen <\/p>\n

720
\n00:59:17,200 –> 00:59:20,200
\nhimself.
\nHe speaks directly to God, and <\/p>\n

721
\n00:59:20,200 –> 00:59:23,280
\nso he now meditates, but not
\nonly is he speaking to himself, <\/p>\n

722
\n00:59:23,400 –> 00:59:25,840
\nhe’s speaking to God because
\nhe’s wanting to strengthen <\/p>\n

723
\n00:59:25,840 –> 00:59:28,880
\nhimself in God and the reality
\nof God. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:59:29,160 –> 00:59:33,440
\nVerse 13 Thy way, O God, is in
\nthe sanctuary, and to himself he<\/p>\n

725
\n00:59:33,440 –> 00:59:35,920
\nsays, Who is so great?
\nA God is our God. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:59:36,320 –> 00:59:37,720
\nAnd then he continues his
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:59:37,960 –> 00:59:40,080
\nThou art the God that doest
\nwonders. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:59:40,160 –> 00:59:42,480
\nThou hast declared thy strength
\namong the people. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:59:42,640 –> 00:59:45,600
\nThou hast with thine own arm
\nredeemed thy people. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:59:45,600 –> 00:59:47,680
\nThe sons of Jacob and Joseph
\nsealer. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:59:47,680 –> 00:59:50,120
\nThe water saw thee of God, the
\nwater saw thee. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:59:50,120 –> 00:59:52,480
\nThey were afraid.
\nThe depths also were dropped. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:59:52,560 –> 00:59:56,120
\nAnd so he goes on meditating,
\nand he’s just filling his mind <\/p>\n

734
\n00:59:56,280 –> 01:00:01,880
\nto encourage himself.
\nIt’s magnificent, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

735
\n01:00:01,880 –> 01:00:05,480
\nIt’s so helpful.
\nThe thing is, brothers and <\/p>\n

736
\n01:00:05,480 –> 01:00:09,640
\nsisters, this is how the
\nfaithful of old thought upon <\/p>\n

737
\n01:00:09,640 –> 01:00:12,000
\nGod’s Word.
\nThat’s why Christ broke into <\/p>\n

738
\n01:00:12,200 –> 01:00:14,360
\nprayers and then continued on
\ntalking. <\/p>\n

739
\n01:00:14,440 –> 01:00:19,080
\nThat’s why Nehemiah in his his
\ndiary is writing along his diary<\/p>\n

740
\n01:00:19,080 –> 01:00:22,360
\nof the facts of the day, and he
\nincludes his prayers dotted all <\/p>\n

741
\n01:00:22,360 –> 01:00:25,360
\nthe way through it.
\nThat’s why Paul in his letters <\/p>\n

742
\n01:00:25,480 –> 01:00:29,240
\njust breaks into prayers,
\nbecause that’s how they thought.<\/p>\n

743
\n01:00:30,080 –> 01:00:32,840
\nNow we can do this, brother and
\nsisters, and we can start <\/p>\n

744
\n01:00:32,840 –> 01:00:37,280
\npracticing it because Christ
\ngave us a meditation, the Lord’s<\/p>\n

745
\n01:00:37,280 –> 01:00:40,840
\nPrayer, so easy to remember.
\nMeditate upon it. <\/p>\n

746
\n01:00:41,560 –> 01:00:46,760
\nI need to conclude, and I’ll
\nleave on the screen, the fact <\/p>\n

747
\n01:00:46,760 –> 01:00:52,600
\nthat God loves us to do this.
\nIt’s those who speak one to <\/p>\n

748
\n01:00:52,600 –> 01:00:58,120
\nanother who think upon his name
\nthat He looks to. <\/p>\n
