1
\n00:00:01,680 –> 00:00:04,000
\nOh, good morning, Bernie and
\nsisters and young people. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:04,040 –> 00:00:07,840
\nI’m glad to see a good number of
\nyou here, which I didn’t quite <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:07,840 –> 00:00:14,520
\nexpect, so good on you.
\nThe title for this study is <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:14,520 –> 00:00:20,360
\ntaken from Romans chapter 8.
\nIf you turn to Romans chapter 8,<\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:20,920 –> 00:00:24,760
\nalthough we read it yesterday,
\nlet’s just read the last few <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:24,760 –> 00:00:28,800
\nverses of this chapter, starting
\nat verse 35. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:34,800 –> 00:00:39,520
\nThat who shall separate us from
\nthe love of Christ, tribulation <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:40,040 –> 00:00:46,960
\nor distress or persecution, or
\nfamine, or nakedness, or peril, <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:47,480 –> 00:00:51,960
\nor sword, as it is written, for
\nthy sake, we are killed all the <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:51,960 –> 00:00:54,080
\nday long.
\nWe are counted as sheep for the <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:54,080 –> 00:00:57,080
\nslaughter.
\nNay, in all these things we are <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:57,080 –> 00:01:01,200
\nmore than conquerors through Him
\nthat loved us. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:01,920 –> 00:01:05,720
\nIf I persuade her that neither
\ndeath, nor life, nor angels, nor<\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:05,720 –> 00:01:09,120
\nprincipalities, nor powers, nor
\nthings present, nor things to <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:09,120 –> 00:01:13,320
\ncome, nor height, nor depth, nor
\nany other creature, shall be <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:13,320 –> 00:01:17,280
\nable to separate us from the
\nlove of God, which is in Christ <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:17,280 –> 00:01:21,920
\nJesus our Lord.
\nAnd the apostle lists the <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:21,920 –> 00:01:26,720
\ndifficult circumstances in which
\nhe found himself many times in <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,720 –> 00:01:30,800
\nthe verse 35.
\nHe had a fair share of his <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:30,800 –> 00:01:35,160
\ntribulations.
\nIf we ask ourselves how did he <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:35,160 –> 00:01:39,520
\nconquer the fear which he
\nundoubtedly must have <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:39,520 –> 00:01:43,880
\nexperienced when he spent nights
\nin the deep and in jail? <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:49,200
\nWe too may find ourselves in
\ndifficult circumstances when we <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:53,160
\nshow our love for the truth and
\nstand up for the truth. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:59,120
\nThe possible exhort is to be
\nfollowers or imitators of me, as<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:59,120 –> 00:02:04,720
\nI am also of Christ.
\nAnd what did Christ do when he <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:04,720 –> 00:02:08,320
\nwas persecuted?
\nIf you go to One Peter chapter 2<\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:26,360
\nOne Peter 2 verse 21 by the
\nmiddle of the verse 21 for even <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:26,360 –> 00:02:31,000
\nhere and to were ye called
\nbecause Christ also suffered for<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:36,080
\nus, leaving us an example that
\nhe should follow his steps, who <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:36,120 –> 00:02:41,040
\ndid no sin not was guile found
\nin his mouth, who when he was <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:44,680
\nreviled, reviled not again when
\nhe suffered, he threatened not, <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:45,000 –> 00:02:50,040
\nbut committed himself to him
\ntheir judges righteously. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:54,200
\nSo we should learn from this
\nthat when we are in <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:54,200 –> 00:02:59,560
\ndifficulties, we should commit
\nourselves to God. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:03:00,520 –> 00:03:05,640
\nAnd how can we do that if not
\nthrough prayer and using the <\/p>\n

37
\n00:03:05,640 –> 00:03:09,000
\nPsalms, we commit ourselves to
\nGod. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:03:09,480 –> 00:03:15,120
\nIt puts our minds right, for we
\ndevelop the mind of Christ. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:03:17,280 –> 00:03:19,400
\nNow we started a new day, didn’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:20,760 –> 00:03:22,480
\nIt was a bit hard, but it was a
\nnew day. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:27,720
\nAnd if you go back to our Psalm
\n5, which we read this morning, <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:36,880
\nthen the best way to start a
\nday, as I’m sure most of you do,<\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:44,080
\nis with a prayer to God.
\nNow this Psalm 5 is actually a <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:44,080 –> 00:03:49,560
\nmorning prayer, as it says in
\nverse three, my voice shout out <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:49,560 –> 00:03:55,160
\nhere in the morning, Yahweh.
\nSo it is a morning prayer. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:56,160 –> 00:04:01,000
\nBut what that does, does that
\nfirst verse or the title in the <\/p>\n

47
\n00:04:01,240 –> 00:04:07,520
\nKGV actually mean to the chief
\nmusician upon Nekhilot, a Psalm <\/p>\n

48
\n00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:14,400
\nof David translating it, It
\nmeans to him that overcometh <\/p>\n

49
\n00:04:15,800 –> 00:04:22,120
\ntoward an inheritance, the best
\nfruits for the beloved. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:04:22,440 –> 00:04:26,400
\nNikhilot means an inheritance.
\nAnd the Hebrew word upon is not <\/p>\n

51
\n00:04:26,400 –> 00:04:32,200
\nupon, is not al, it’s al is
\ntoward, or as Phanic actually <\/p>\n

52
\n00:04:32,200 –> 00:04:35,200
\nsays, is the power of the
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:04:35,480 –> 00:04:37,880
\nAnd of course that is expressed
\nin verse 7. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:38,560 –> 00:04:42,920
\nBut As for me, I will come into
\ndie house in the multitude of <\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:42,920 –> 00:04:45,520
\nThy mercy.
\nThere’s our inheritance. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:45,720 –> 00:04:49,760
\nThat’s where we want to go to.
\nSo when we use this prayer in <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:49,760 –> 00:04:54,200
\nthe morning, we are thinking of
\nthe inheritance which has been <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:58,280
\nlaid up for us.
\nLook at Psalm 16, which speaks <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:58,280 –> 00:05:04,600
\nabout an inheritance in verse 5.
\nYahweh is the portion of mine <\/p>\n

60
\n00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:09,520
\ninheritance and of my cup.
\nThou maintainest my lot. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:05:09,800 –> 00:05:12,520
\nThe lines have fallen unto me in
\npleasant places. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:05:12,920 –> 00:05:17,000
\nYeah, I have a goodly heritage.
\nI will bless Yahweh who has <\/p>\n

63
\n00:05:17,000 –> 00:05:19,960
\ngiven me counsel.
\nMy reigns also instruct me in <\/p>\n

64
\n00:05:19,960 –> 00:05:23,480
\nthe night seasons.
\nI’ve said Yahweh always before <\/p>\n

65
\n00:05:23,480 –> 00:05:26,160
\nme because he’s at my right
\nhand. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:05:26,520 –> 00:05:31,640
\nI shall not be moved.
\nSo to get an inheritance we must<\/p>\n

67
\n00:05:31,760 –> 00:05:38,800
\nsaid Yahweh always before us
\nfrom our waking hours till we go<\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:42,880
\nto sleep, because that can
\nchange our mind and our <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:42,880 –> 00:05:46,360
\nbehaviour.
\nIt will make us receive God’s <\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:46,360 –> 00:05:52,200
\ncounsel and His instructions and
\nit teaches us to commit our ways<\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:52,240 –> 00:05:54,880
\nand to Yahweh every minute of
\nthe day. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:57,200 –> 00:06:01,040
\nSo if you say this summer’s all
\nyour heart, then we are ready to<\/p>\n

73
\n00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:04,720
\nreceive God’s counsel and to be
\nled by the Spirit. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:06:07,640 –> 00:06:09,520
\nYou see, it starts then like
\nthis. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:06:09,720 –> 00:06:12,360
\nGive ear to my word.
\nShower. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:06:12,360 –> 00:06:21,440
\nConsider my meditation.
\nYou can’t say this Psalm early <\/p>\n

77
\n00:06:21,440 –> 00:06:24,440
\nin the morning.
\nIf you haven’t meditated on <\/p>\n

78
\n00:06:24,440 –> 00:06:28,800
\nanything, you should have
\nmeditated on things. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:06:30,080 –> 00:06:33,520
\nOtherwise you can’t say this
\nPsalm and we can’t pray to God. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:06:34,880 –> 00:06:38,320
\nSo I see that the Psalms work
\ntwo ways. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:06:38,320 –> 00:06:42,760
\nIt’s a prayer to God.
\nIf we can only say this Psalm if<\/p>\n

82
\n00:06:42,760 –> 00:06:46,320
\nyou really mean it, you can’t
\nsay consider my meditation if <\/p>\n

83
\n00:06:46,320 –> 00:06:48,440
\nyou’ve thought about nothing at
\nall. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:49,520 –> 00:06:54,400
\nAnd then it continues saying my
\nforeshadow here in the morning <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:58,520
\nhour.
\nAnd then it continues in the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:58,520 –> 00:07:02,480
\nmorning where like it says
\ndirect my prayer. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:07:02,480 –> 00:07:06,960
\nBut my prayer is an in italics.
\nIt isn’t there in the Hebrew <\/p>\n

88
\n00:07:07,880 –> 00:07:09,640
\nbecause you already said that
\nyou will pray. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:07:10,960 –> 00:07:15,840
\nThe word direct means to arrange
\nyourself in the morning. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:21,520
\nWill I arrange myself unto thee,
\nand I will look up. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:07:24,160 –> 00:07:28,800
\nAnd that is what we do when we
\nuse this Psalm. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:07:29,640 –> 00:07:34,320
\nSo in the morning we pray to God
\nand we have meditated on him, <\/p>\n

93
\n00:07:34,920 –> 00:07:40,040
\nand now we’re going to say that
\nwe’re going to set our life in <\/p>\n

94
\n00:07:40,040 –> 00:07:42,920
\norder.
\nAnd how I could do that? <\/p>\n

95
\n00:07:44,280 –> 00:07:46,200
\nThat the Psalm tells us, doesn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

96
\n00:07:47,040 –> 00:07:53,240
\nWhat are the things that are
\nspelled out for us in verse 4? <\/p>\n

97
\n00:07:54,240 –> 00:07:57,720
\nThou art not an ale that has
\npleasure in wickedness. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:58,920 –> 00:08:03,240
\nSo if you encounter wickedness
\nin the place we work, where we <\/p>\n

99
\n00:08:03,240 –> 00:08:07,720
\nstudy, or wherever we find
\nourselves, then don’t join in, <\/p>\n

100
\n00:08:07,760 –> 00:08:10,560
\nbecause you know that God has no
\npleasure in wickedness. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:15,200
\nAnd then now they shall evil
\ndwell with thee. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:08:16,080 –> 00:08:20,160
\nWe mustn’t do evil.
\nIt’s very easy to do, but if you<\/p>\n

103
\n00:08:20,160 –> 00:08:24,400
\nkeep your Psalm in mind, then it
\nwill direct your your way of <\/p>\n

104
\n00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:28,000
\nlife with God.
\nAnd it says the foolish shall <\/p>\n

105
\n00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:31,560
\nnot stand in thy sight.
\nIt’s all right to have little <\/p>\n

106
\n00:08:31,560 –> 00:08:34,120
\njoke here and there, but to act
\nfoolishly. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:37,520
\nIf you do that, we won’t stand
\nin God’s sight. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:08:38,080 –> 00:08:42,760
\nThat’s what the Psalm says.
\nNow, hatest all workers of <\/p>\n

109
\n00:08:42,799 –> 00:08:46,240
\niniquity be living in an evil
\nworld. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:08:46,560 –> 00:08:50,720
\nAnd I thought it was made plain
\nto us last night, but God hates <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:50,720 –> 00:08:54,160
\nthose things.
\nSo it’s not only not joining in,<\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:54,160 –> 00:08:58,920
\nbut not even allowing it and
\nwarning other people of wicked <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:58,920 –> 00:09:02,960
\nways.
\nThou shalt destroy them that <\/p>\n

114
\n00:09:02,960 –> 00:09:04,840
\nspeak well leasing.
\nIt’s not leasing a car. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:09:04,840 –> 00:09:09,720
\nIt’s lies.
\nGod will destroy them that speak<\/p>\n

116
\n00:09:09,720 –> 00:09:12,520
\nlies.
\nAnd how easy is it by his <\/p>\n

117
\n00:09:12,520 –> 00:09:14,360
\nsisters.
\nMany of the conversations people<\/p>\n

118
\n00:09:14,360 –> 00:09:19,200
\noutside to have a little lie to
\nmake yourself look better, but <\/p>\n

119
\n00:09:19,200 –> 00:09:25,440
\nGod hate lies and Yahweh abhors
\nthe men of blood and deceit. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:09:27,040 –> 00:09:31,800
\nSo there’s six points here in
\nthese verses 4-5 and six. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:09:32,280 –> 00:09:35,040
\nAnd if you just remember this
\nPsalm and we say it in the <\/p>\n

122
\n00:09:35,040 –> 00:09:40,600
\nmorning and keep it in our mind,
\nit’ll direct our paths and then <\/p>\n

123
\n00:09:40,600 –> 00:09:45,200
\nwe commit our ways into Yahweh.
\nThat is how this prayer can help<\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:45,200 –> 00:09:53,040
\nus, and we soon find out that if
\nyou use these psalms for our <\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:53,040 –> 00:09:56,840
\nprayers and the commitment to
\nmemory or even a small section <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:56,840 –> 00:10:05,120
\nof it and stick it up here, then
\nour minds become more pure, more<\/p>\n

127
\n00:10:05,120 –> 00:10:09,480
\nlike the mind of Christ and less
\nlike our own mind. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:15,520
\nIt’s good to start the day with
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:10:15,640 –> 00:10:21,080
\nDavid always did.
\nSo put a few things on on the <\/p>\n

130
\n00:10:21,080 –> 00:10:26,920
\noverhead, but look at Psalm 63.
\nIt’s a Psalm of David when he <\/p>\n

131
\n00:10:26,920 –> 00:10:36,400
\nwas in the wilderness of Judah.
\nAnd it says, then Elvim dawat my<\/p>\n

132
\n00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:43,760
\nale early will I seek thee.
\nThe word early is the word for <\/p>\n

133
\n00:10:43,760 –> 00:10:46,440
\nshaka.
\nThat is the darkest part in the <\/p>\n

134
\n00:10:46,440 –> 00:10:49,600
\nnight.
\nWe had a good opportunity to put<\/p>\n

135
\n00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:52,000
\nthis into practice when the
\nalignment of 3:00 in the <\/p>\n

136
\n00:10:52,000 –> 00:10:56,840
\nmorning, yes, it was still dark
\nwhen David woke up in the <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:56,840 –> 00:11:00,360
\nwilderness and it was dark, he
\nsaid in the early dark morning, <\/p>\n

138
\n00:11:00,360 –> 00:11:03,280
\nI was sickly.
\nMy soul thirsts for thee, my <\/p>\n

139
\n00:11:03,280 –> 00:11:07,560
\nflesh longest for thee, in a dry
\nand weary land where no water <\/p>\n

140
\n00:11:07,560 –> 00:11:09,920
\nis.
\nDavid said this time in the <\/p>\n

141
\n00:11:09,920 –> 00:11:14,160
\nwilderness.
\nThe nation of Israel was formed <\/p>\n

142
\n00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:18,480
\nin the wilderness, far from the
\ndistractions of the world. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:24,040
\nBut if we love the world more
\nthan God, we won’t pray this <\/p>\n

144
\n00:11:24,040 –> 00:11:28,280
\nSam.
\nThe peasant world has many <\/p>\n

145
\n00:11:28,280 –> 00:11:31,080
\nattractions, especially for
\nyoung people. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:36,880
\nThe question is, do we look upon
\nthe world in which we live as a <\/p>\n

147
\n00:11:36,880 –> 00:11:42,120
\nwilderness or do we take full
\nadvantage of all the <\/p>\n

148
\n00:11:42,920 –> 00:11:46,840
\ndistractions, the so-called
\nattractions it offers to us? <\/p>\n

149
\n00:11:48,800 –> 00:11:53,640
\nSo it becomes clear that if you
\ndo use the Psalms, and we think <\/p>\n

150
\n00:11:53,640 –> 00:11:58,960
\nabout them, that it will change
\nour mind and it brings us closer<\/p>\n

151
\n00:11:59,360 –> 00:12:03,040
\nto God and we are in good
\ncompany. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:12:03,040 –> 00:12:06,800
\nThen we pray in the morning.
\nDaniel prayed three times in a <\/p>\n

153
\n00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:09,600
\nday, in the morning, at the
\ntime, in the afternoon, at <\/p>\n

154
\n00:12:09,600 –> 00:12:11,840
\nevening sacrifice and before he
\nwent to bed. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:12:13,000 –> 00:12:16,600
\nAnd also David prayed in the
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:12:16,640 –> 00:12:19,840
\nYou can see there Daniel prayed
\nthree times in a day. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:12:20,360 –> 00:12:24,960
\nDavid also three times in a day.
\nPsalm 55, evening and morning. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:12:24,960 –> 00:12:29,480
\nAnd at noon will I pray.
\nPsalm 59, I’ll sing aloud to Thy<\/p>\n

159
\n00:12:29,480 –> 00:12:33,160
\nmercy in the morning.
\nPsalm 88 in the morning my <\/p>\n

160
\n00:12:33,160 –> 00:12:37,160
\nprayers shall come before Thee.
\nAnd at the 19, I prevented the <\/p>\n

161
\n00:12:37,160 –> 00:12:40,760
\ndawning of the morning, and I
\ncried. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:12:42,200 –> 00:12:47,400
\nSo it is a good thing to start
\nthe day with God, to commit <\/p>\n

163
\n00:12:47,400 –> 00:12:51,400
\nyourself and to him.
\nKeep those guidelines in mind, <\/p>\n

164
\n00:12:51,400 –> 00:12:55,680
\nwhich the prayers Psalm 5 says.
\nAnd then we are ready. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:12:55,880 –> 00:12:59,080
\nWe’ve arranged ourselves to face
\nthe day. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:13:01,520 –> 00:13:05,040
\nAnd then before we go to work,
\nwe have breakfast and we give <\/p>\n

167
\n00:13:05,040 –> 00:13:10,160
\nthanks for our food to God.
\nAnd it is a good thing to do, <\/p>\n

168
\n00:13:10,960 –> 00:13:16,960
\nbut it is easy to fall into kind
\nof the Christadelphian <\/p>\n

169
\n00:13:16,960 –> 00:13:19,920
\nphraseology.
\nNow we thank God for the food <\/p>\n

170
\n00:13:19,920 –> 00:13:23,000
\nthat we are going to eat, and we
\npray that the strength derived <\/p>\n

171
\n00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:26,960
\nthereof we may use in dying
\nservice, that we don’t serve God<\/p>\n

172
\n00:13:26,960 –> 00:13:30,440
\nwith our stomach.
\nJesus fasted for 40 days and he <\/p>\n

173
\n00:13:30,440 –> 00:13:34,160
\nstill served God.
\nBut this good to give thanks for<\/p>\n

174
\n00:13:34,160 –> 00:13:37,760
\nfood.
\nAnd why not use the sounds for <\/p>\n

175
\n00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:40,520
\ngiving thanks?
\nYou know you can compose a <\/p>\n

176
\n00:13:40,520 –> 00:13:44,480
\nprayer using sounds.
\nThis is something I often say. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:13:44,840 –> 00:13:48,560
\nThe earth is yowers and the
\nfullness thereof the world. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:13:48,560 –> 00:13:52,240
\nAnd they that well dream because
\nGod gives rain on the righteous <\/p>\n

179
\n00:13:52,240 –> 00:13:54,960
\nand on the unrighteous.
\nSo the soil produces food. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:54,960 –> 00:13:59,680
\nIt has got the thanking for it.
\nThe eyes of all people and <\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:59,680 –> 00:14:03,440
\nanimals alike wait upon thee and
\nI’ll give them their food in due<\/p>\n

182
\n00:14:03,440 –> 00:14:06,520
\nseason.
\nYou can say something like this.<\/p>\n

183
\n00:14:06,520 –> 00:14:09,960
\nBless our Elimi people and make
\nthe voice of his praise to be <\/p>\n

184
\n00:14:09,960 –> 00:14:14,120
\nheard, which hold is our soul in
\nlife and suffers not our feet to<\/p>\n

185
\n00:14:14,120 –> 00:14:17,640
\nbe moved.
\nI always end giving thanks for <\/p>\n

186
\n00:14:17,640 –> 00:14:22,280
\nmy food by saying who gave his
\nfood to all flesh for his mercy <\/p>\n

187
\n00:14:22,520 –> 00:14:26,760
\nand yours forever.
\nI’m not telling you how to give <\/p>\n

188
\n00:14:26,760 –> 00:14:32,320
\nthanks, I’m just showing you
\nthat it’s possible to vary our <\/p>\n

189
\n00:14:32,320 –> 00:14:37,600
\nprayer and use spirit words in
\neven giving thanks for our food.<\/p>\n

190
\n00:14:40,120 –> 00:14:44,760
\nIt’s good to give thanks like
\nyou could turn to Psalm 103. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:14:44,760 –> 00:14:53,560
\nI suppose the older you get, the
\nmore thankful you are to God <\/p>\n

192
\n00:14:53,560 –> 00:14:57,400
\nthat He gives us life and still
\nsome energy. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:14:57,800 –> 00:15:02,120
\nHe gives us a family.
\nLovely companion and there’s so <\/p>\n

194
\n00:15:02,120 –> 00:15:07,400
\nmany things we should give
\nthanks to God for and this is a <\/p>\n

195
\n00:15:07,400 –> 00:15:12,360
\nsection the 1st 5 verses which I
\nthis so I know the heart and <\/p>\n

196
\n00:15:12,360 –> 00:15:17,080
\nit’s it is also pain your heart.
\nSo bless Yao my soul and all my <\/p>\n

197
\n00:15:17,080 –> 00:15:19,600
\ninwards.
\nIt’s actually says his holy <\/p>\n

198
\n00:15:19,600 –> 00:15:22,400
\nname.
\nBless Yao my soul, and forget <\/p>\n

199
\n00:15:22,400 –> 00:15:25,600
\nnot all his benefits, who
\nforgive us all thy iniquities, <\/p>\n

200
\n00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:29,240
\nwho healest all thy diseases,
\nwho redeemest thy life from <\/p>\n

201
\n00:15:29,240 –> 00:15:32,600
\ndestruction, Who redeem is the
\nlife from the structure. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:35,120
\nCrown is the is loving kindness
\nand tender mercies. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:15:35,520 –> 00:15:40,240
\nWho satisfies not thy mouth just
\nand he would thy future which <\/p>\n

204
\n00:15:40,240 –> 00:15:44,560
\ngood things?
\nSo thy youth is renewed like the<\/p>\n

205
\n00:15:44,560 –> 00:15:50,120
\neagles.
\nThis is a Psalm for the beloved.<\/p>\n

206
\n00:15:51,040 –> 00:15:55,480
\nAnd if you say this Psalm, then
\nwe are beloved of God too. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:15:56,240 –> 00:15:58,040
\nSo the Psalms are very
\npractical. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:59,000 –> 00:16:02,720
\nWe know that God will hear his
\nown words, but you’ve got to <\/p>\n

209
\n00:16:02,720 –> 00:16:06,280
\nthink about it that can we
\nactually say or do we actually <\/p>\n

210
\n00:16:06,280 –> 00:16:08,120
\nmean?
\nDo we live up to the words we <\/p>\n

211
\n00:16:08,120 –> 00:16:11,240
\nsay to him though?
\nThose words help us to put us in<\/p>\n

212
\n00:16:11,240 –> 00:16:14,000
\nthe right frame of mind to help
\nour behaviour. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:16:14,200 –> 00:16:16,200
\nAnd then he can pray that Psalm
\nto God. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:16:18,640 –> 00:16:23,680
\nWe all fail at times, don’t we,
\nduring the day, especially when <\/p>\n

215
\n00:16:23,680 –> 00:16:27,040
\nwe let our guard down and we
\ndon’t remember our morning <\/p>\n

216
\n00:16:27,040 –> 00:16:29,440
\nprayers.
\nWe’re not the only ones that <\/p>\n

217
\n00:16:29,440 –> 00:16:34,680
\nfail at times, but we believe as
\nit says that if you confess our <\/p>\n

218
\n00:16:34,680 –> 00:16:37,880
\nsins, God is faithful and just
\nto forgive us our sins and to <\/p>\n

219
\n00:16:37,880 –> 00:16:40,320
\ncleanse us from all
\nunrighteousness. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:16:41,520 –> 00:16:46,680
\nAnd the words to ask God for
\nforgiveness have all been <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:46,680 –> 00:16:51,320
\nprepared for us.
\nAnd they give us an insight into<\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:52,880 –> 00:16:57,360
\nthe sin of David and how he
\nstruggled and, and how he came <\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:57,360 –> 00:17:00,000
\nout of it.
\nAnd we go through the same <\/p>\n

224
\n00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:02,280
\nprocess.
\nAnd the Psalm tells us exactly <\/p>\n

225
\n00:17:02,280 –> 00:17:04,800
\nhow David felt.
\nGo to Psalm 32. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:17:11,750 –> 00:17:15,069
\nI start by saying, and he knew
\nthis beforehand. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:17:16,310 –> 00:17:18,910
\nBless it.
\nAnd after this word, this means <\/p>\n

228
\n00:17:18,910 –> 00:17:22,310
\nhappy.
\nHappy is he whose transgression <\/p>\n

229
\n00:17:22,310 –> 00:17:24,430
\nis forgiven, whose sin is
\ncovered. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:17:24,800 –> 00:17:29,200
\nHappy is the man unto whom Yao
\nimpute is not iniquity, and in <\/p>\n

231
\n00:17:29,200 –> 00:17:33,640
\nhis spirit there is no guile.
\nThere’s David. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:17:33,720 –> 00:17:38,080
\nThat is what he wanted to be.
\nBut like all of us, he fell, <\/p>\n

233
\n00:17:38,080 –> 00:17:41,800
\ndidn’t he?
\nThen he says, When I kept <\/p>\n

234
\n00:17:41,800 –> 00:17:45,800
\nsilence, my bones vexed all
\nthrough my roaring, all the day <\/p>\n

235
\n00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:48,800
\nlong, for day and night thy hand
\nwas heavy upon me. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:17:49,000 –> 00:17:51,400
\nMy moisture is turned into the
\ndrought of summer. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:58,640
\nSi la but we all go through this
\nprocess. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:17:59,120 –> 00:18:03,080
\nIt’s not easy to confess our
\nwrongdoing. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:18:04,400 –> 00:18:09,280
\nDavid tried to hide his sin with
\nBathsheba for a long time. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:18:10,600 –> 00:18:14,400
\nHe got a pregnancy, called you
\nHO for hoping that he will sleep<\/p>\n

241
\n00:18:14,400 –> 00:18:17,360
\nwith his wife so they can
\npretend he was his baby and he <\/p>\n

242
\n00:18:17,360 –> 00:18:20,680
\nrefused.
\nSo he had to send him back and <\/p>\n

243
\n00:18:20,680 –> 00:18:22,440
\nput him in the battle and have
\nhim killed. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:18:22,440 –> 00:18:25,600
\nAnd all the time he was trying
\nto hide his sin. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:18:26,160 –> 00:18:30,840
\nBut while he was doing so well,
\nit says, I kept silence. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:18:31,440 –> 00:18:38,160
\nAnd we can all, you know,
\nremember that we can all <\/p>\n

247
\n00:18:38,440 –> 00:18:41,600
\nassociate ourselves with it.
\nWe like to keep science. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:44,000
\nWe don’t like to confess the
\nthings we’ve done wrong. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:18:45,280 –> 00:18:48,600
\nBut you know, your, your bones
\nget old and you’re roaring all <\/p>\n

250
\n00:18:48,600 –> 00:18:51,760
\nday long.
\nAnd if you’re God’s hand, they <\/p>\n

251
\n00:18:51,760 –> 00:18:54,040
\nmust have felt God’s hand heavy
\nupon him. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:18:54,440 –> 00:18:57,320
\nHis moisture turned into the
\ndrought of Summersila. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:02,000
\nAnd that’s the state of mind
\nDavid was in for a long time, <\/p>\n

254
\n00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:03,960
\nmore than half a year.
\nI don’t know exactly how long <\/p>\n

255
\n00:19:06,720 –> 00:19:09,000
\nand he was suffering because he
\ndidn’t want to confess. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:12,160
\nHis sin was such a shameful
\nthing to have to say. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:19:13,760 –> 00:19:16,520
\nWhen David, when Nathan the
\nprophet came to him and he said <\/p>\n

258
\n00:19:16,720 –> 00:19:20,120
\nthou art the man.
\nIt must almost have been this <\/p>\n

259
\n00:19:20,120 –> 00:19:27,960
\nrelief that David said I have
\nsinned and then he could <\/p>\n

260
\n00:19:27,960 –> 00:19:33,920
\ncontinue that next verse.
\nI acknowledge my sin unto thee <\/p>\n

261
\n00:19:34,320 –> 00:19:37,600
\nand my iniquity, if I not hate,
\nalthough it took a long time to <\/p>\n

262
\n00:19:37,600 –> 00:19:41,320
\nconfess it, I’ll said, I’ll
\nconfess my transgressions into <\/p>\n

263
\n00:19:41,320 –> 00:19:44,720
\nYao, and thou forgave us the
\niniquity of my sin seala. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:19:45,120 –> 00:19:48,960
\nSo the first seala shows the
\nstate of mind we are in if we <\/p>\n

265
\n00:19:48,960 –> 00:19:52,920
\ndon’t confess our sins.
\nThe second seala is very <\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:52,920 –> 00:19:55,480
\nvaluable to remember that if you
\nacknowledge your sin, then God <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:55,480 –> 00:19:58,160
\nwill forgive it and he could
\nlive again. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:59,240 –> 00:20:03,800
\nHe wrote another Psalm after
\nthat same event, which is Psalm <\/p>\n

269
\n00:20:03,880 –> 00:20:10,960
\n51, the very powerful Psalm.
\nWhen we lived in Jerusalem, we <\/p>\n

270
\n00:20:11,400 –> 00:20:16,400
\noften used this Psalm for our
\nmorning prayer because we’ve all<\/p>\n

271
\n00:20:16,400 –> 00:20:23,200
\nsinned.
\nIt gives an insight into how <\/p>\n

272
\n00:20:23,200 –> 00:20:26,640
\nDavid felt.
\nLook at verse 10. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:20:27,320 –> 00:20:31,520
\nHe after he confessed his sin,
\nhe said create in me a clean <\/p>\n

274
\n00:20:31,520 –> 00:20:36,680
\nheart, Elovene and renew a rite
\nor a constant spirit within me. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:20:37,000 –> 00:20:40,720
\nCast me not away from thy
\npresence and take not Thy Holy <\/p>\n

276
\n00:20:40,720 –> 00:20:44,080
\nSpirit from me.
\nRestore unto me the joy of thy <\/p>\n

277
\n00:20:44,080 –> 00:20:47,560
\nsalvation and have helped me.
\nThere’s a free of his, a willing<\/p>\n

278
\n00:20:47,560 –> 00:20:51,800
\nspirit.
\nHe couldn’t be king anymore. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:52,120 –> 00:20:55,480
\nHe couldn’t give guidance to his
\npeople. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:20:55,960 –> 00:21:00,680
\nHe didn’t feel spiritual anymore
\nbecause only when God created a <\/p>\n

281
\n00:21:00,680 –> 00:21:05,600
\nclean heart in himself in David
\nagain and he was sure that he <\/p>\n

282
\n00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:08,680
\nwas not castaway from God’s
\nPrincess, which we are. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:21:08,680 –> 00:21:14,000
\nIf we don’t confess our sins,
\nthen in verse 13 says our teach <\/p>\n

284
\n00:21:14,240 –> 00:21:17,560
\ntransgressors thy ways and sin
\nis shall be converted unto thee.<\/p>\n

285
\n00:21:17,840 –> 00:21:21,280
\nHow can we teach other people
\nwhen we haven’t confessed our <\/p>\n

286
\n00:21:21,280 –> 00:21:25,760
\nown sins?
\nSee David’s heart at this <\/p>\n

287
\n00:21:25,760 –> 00:21:27,640
\nparticular time was not right.
\nThis God. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:21:28,080 –> 00:21:33,240
\nIt’s always good to examine our
\nheart. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:21:35,080 –> 00:21:41,560
\nSee a Psalm which very powerful
\nand often when you come to the <\/p>\n

290
\n00:21:41,560 –> 00:21:46,280
\ntruth early on, you can
\nassociate with this Psalm 139. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:21:47,240 –> 00:21:51,120
\nAnd if you just would keep this
\nalways in our head, it would <\/p>\n

292
\n00:21:51,120 –> 00:21:57,120
\nhelp us so much. 139 To the
\nchief musician, the Psalm of <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:57,120 –> 00:21:59,240
\nDavid.
\nFor him that overcome is just <\/p>\n

294
\n00:21:59,240 –> 00:22:09,240
\nthe best fruit of the beloved.
\nAnd it gives you an insight into<\/p>\n

295
\n00:22:09,320 –> 00:22:15,840
\nGod himself and our relationship
\nwith him says, Thou asserted me <\/p>\n

296
\n00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:19,840
\nand known me.
\nThou knows my down sitting and <\/p>\n

297
\n00:22:19,840 –> 00:22:23,360
\nmy uprising.
\nThou understands my thought afar<\/p>\n

298
\n00:22:23,360 –> 00:22:27,720
\noff, Thou compasses my past and
\nmy lying down, and art acquaint.<\/p>\n

299
\n00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:30,520
\nIt is all my ways, but it’s not
\na word in my tongue. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:22:31,280 –> 00:22:37,360
\nThou knowest it all together.
\nAnd if we realise that God looks<\/p>\n

301
\n00:22:37,360 –> 00:22:42,800
\ndown on us, He can look into our
\nheart every minute of the day, <\/p>\n

302
\n00:22:43,600 –> 00:22:48,120
\nthen they’re more careful how we
\nconduct ourselves in the day. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:22:48,760 –> 00:22:54,520
\nBut then if he do that, then we
\nget confidence that we can pray <\/p>\n

304
\n00:22:54,520 –> 00:22:58,720
\nthis Psalm to God and look at
\nPsalm 20, the verse 23 at the <\/p>\n

305
\n00:22:58,720 –> 00:23:02,800
\nend of the Psalm.
\nThen they could say, search me <\/p>\n

306
\n00:23:03,120 –> 00:23:08,640
\nElohim, and know my heart, try
\nme and know my thoughts and see <\/p>\n

307
\n00:23:08,640 –> 00:23:13,800
\nif there’ll be any wicked way in
\nme and lead me into the way <\/p>\n

308
\n00:23:14,160 –> 00:23:19,320
\neverlasting.
\nIf you go to Psalm 17, <\/p>\n

309
\n00:23:33,440 –> 00:23:36,920
\nbecause if we are right with
\nGod, we can say this. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:23:37,240 –> 00:23:41,360
\nThis is verse 3.
\nAnd can we really say that by <\/p>\n

311
\n00:23:41,400 –> 00:23:48,440
\nthe sisters, thou has proved my
\nheart, Thou has visit me in the <\/p>\n

312
\n00:23:48,440 –> 00:23:53,760
\nnight, Thou stride me and found
\nnothing. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:23:54,560 –> 00:23:58,760
\nI’m purposed that my mouth shall
\nnot transgress. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:23:59,240 –> 00:24:03,360
\nAnd that is a beautiful state of
\nmind to have. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:24:03,360 –> 00:24:08,720
\nBrothers and sisters, there’s
\nanother very practical Psalm <\/p>\n

316
\n00:24:09,120 –> 00:24:13,000
\nwhich helps us to develop a pure
\nheart and to keep that perfect <\/p>\n

317
\n00:24:13,000 –> 00:24:19,720
\nman in focus, and it’s Psalm 15.
\nIt’s such a beautiful short, <\/p>\n

318
\n00:24:19,720 –> 00:24:22,560
\nSam.
\nIt’s the best fruit for the <\/p>\n

319
\n00:24:22,560 –> 00:24:25,040
\nbeloved Yahweh.
\nWho shall dwell in thy <\/p>\n

320
\n00:24:25,040 –> 00:24:27,600
\nTabernacle?
\nWho shall dwell in thy holy <\/p>\n

321
\n00:24:27,600 –> 00:24:29,680
\nhill?
\nRemember Psalm 5, fame. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:24:29,680 –> 00:24:31,440
\nIt overcomes towards an
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:24:31,440 –> 00:24:35,520
\nThat is our inheritance.
\nTo be in the Tabernacle of <\/p>\n

324
\n00:24:35,520 –> 00:24:38,760
\nYamaha, to dwell in his holy
\nhill of Jerusalem in the <\/p>\n

325
\n00:24:38,760 –> 00:24:43,120
\nKingdom.
\nOnly people that are like this <\/p>\n

326
\n00:24:43,120 –> 00:24:45,840
\nwill be there.
\nHe had workers, uprightly <\/p>\n

327
\n00:24:46,440 –> 00:24:49,920
\nworkers, righteousness, speakers
\nthe truth in his heart. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:24:50,720 –> 00:24:54,880
\nBackbite does not resist tongue,
\nnor does evil to his neighbour, <\/p>\n

329
\n00:24:55,640 –> 00:24:58,640
\ndoesn’t take up a reproach
\nagainst his neighbour in his <\/p>\n

330
\n00:24:58,640 –> 00:25:01,840
\neyes of vile personalist
\ncontempt, but he honest them <\/p>\n

331
\n00:25:01,840 –> 00:25:05,200
\nthat fear.
\nYahweh swears to his hurt and <\/p>\n

332
\n00:25:05,200 –> 00:25:09,360
\nchange, does not put his not out
\nhis money to usury, nor take His<\/p>\n

333
\n00:25:09,360 –> 00:25:14,120
\nreward against the innocent.
\nHe that doeth these things shall<\/p>\n

334
\n00:25:14,120 –> 00:25:19,320
\nnever be moved.
\nLearn the Psalm by heart by my <\/p>\n

335
\n00:25:19,320 –> 00:25:21,920
\nsisters.
\nWe have it with you all the <\/p>\n

336
\n00:25:21,920 –> 00:25:25,400
\ntime.
\nAnd we Harry Tennant one saying <\/p>\n

337
\n00:25:25,840 –> 00:25:29,040
\nwhen he visited people in the
\nhospital and they couldn’t use <\/p>\n

338
\n00:25:29,040 –> 00:25:31,200
\ntheir hands, they couldn’t hold
\nthe Bible open. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:25:31,600 –> 00:25:35,240
\nHow much scripture do you have
\nat your command? <\/p>\n

340
\n00:25:35,240 –> 00:25:39,840
\nIf you don’t have the Bible, you
\ncan say the Lord’s Prayer, maybe<\/p>\n

341
\n00:25:39,840 –> 00:25:45,400
\nPsalm 22 if that’s all we know.
\nIt’s pretty poor, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

342
\n00:25:46,640 –> 00:25:51,520
\nThe sounds have been designed to
\nbe prey to God, and they put us <\/p>\n

343
\n00:25:51,520 –> 00:25:55,640
\nright.
\nIt helps us also to control our <\/p>\n

344
\n00:25:55,960 –> 00:26:01,320
\nthoughts, how to channel our
\nbrain functions into the into <\/p>\n

345
\n00:26:01,320 –> 00:26:06,520
\nthe right directions, not to be
\ndistracted by mobile phones and <\/p>\n

346
\n00:26:06,520 –> 00:26:08,760
\niPods and iPads and whatever we
\nhave. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:26:09,080 –> 00:26:12,760
\nThere’s a lot of there’s
\ndistress in the workplace and at<\/p>\n

348
\n00:26:12,760 –> 00:26:15,000
\nhome.
\nWe are exposed to advertising <\/p>\n

349
\n00:26:15,120 –> 00:26:17,360
\nthat prey on our lust and our
\ndesires. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:26:17,560 –> 00:26:19,560
\nThere’s peer pressure among
\nyoung people. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:26:19,880 –> 00:26:22,920
\nThey all know our the
\nadvertisers all know our weak <\/p>\n

352
\n00:26:22,920 –> 00:26:26,080
\npoints.
\nAnd the Apostle Paul also knew <\/p>\n

353
\n00:26:26,080 –> 00:26:29,320
\nabout his humour of weakness.
\nI saw another law of our members<\/p>\n

354
\n00:26:29,320 –> 00:26:33,360
\nboring against the law of my
\nmind and bringing into captivity<\/p>\n

355
\n00:26:33,600 –> 00:26:36,400
\nto the law of sin, which is in
\nmy members. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:26:37,560 –> 00:26:42,400
\nThen he counsels in Second
\nCorinthians chapter 10, <\/p>\n

357
\n00:27:07,520 –> 00:27:10,560
\nhe speaks about our warfare,
\nbecause for the weapons of our <\/p>\n

358
\n00:27:10,560 –> 00:27:14,080
\nwarfare are not carnal, but
\nmightily mighty through God to <\/p>\n

359
\n00:27:14,080 –> 00:27:19,400
\nthe pulling down of strongholds,
\ncasting down imaginations or <\/p>\n

360
\n00:27:19,400 –> 00:27:24,760
\nreasonings, and every high thing
\nthat exalts itself against the <\/p>\n

361
\n00:27:24,760 –> 00:27:29,440
\nknowledge of God.
\nAnd listen to this bringing into<\/p>\n

362
\n00:27:29,440 –> 00:27:35,600
\ncaptivity every thought to the
\nobedience of Christ. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:27:38,000 –> 00:27:43,360
\nHow many thoughts go through our
\nheads all day long? <\/p>\n

364
\n00:27:44,640 –> 00:27:47,960
\nI’m still struggling with it by
\nthe sisters to bring every <\/p>\n

365
\n00:27:47,960 –> 00:27:54,040
\nthought captive to the obedience
\nof Christ. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:27:54,680 –> 00:27:58,840
\nI found this Psalm such a great
\nhelp because they put our minds <\/p>\n

367
\n00:27:58,880 –> 00:28:00,920
\nright.
\nWhenever a wrong thought comes <\/p>\n

368
\n00:28:00,920 –> 00:28:05,160
\nin your mind, I would like to
\nsay a Psalm or a portion or one <\/p>\n

369
\n00:28:05,160 –> 00:28:09,560
\nverse or a sealer verse.
\nIt helps you in your life. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:28:10,680 –> 00:28:15,880
\nIt helps us not to listen to the
\ninner voice, and it would be <\/p>\n

371
\n00:28:16,320 –> 00:28:19,920
\nmore suitable to silence it,
\njust as David did for a while <\/p>\n

372
\n00:28:19,920 –> 00:28:23,560
\nwhen he had seen this Bachiva
\nand he didn’t silence that, that<\/p>\n

373
\n00:28:23,800 –> 00:28:29,360
\nthat voice that made him sing.
\nSo I said before in Psalm five <\/p>\n

374
\n00:28:29,360 –> 00:28:36,680
\nand first one, it says, consider
\nmy meditation Says in Psalm 19, <\/p>\n

375
\n00:28:36,680 –> 00:28:40,240
\nLet the words of my mouth and
\nthe meditation of my heart be <\/p>\n

376
\n00:28:40,240 –> 00:28:43,160
\nacceptable in thy sight.
\nYeah, my strength and my <\/p>\n

377
\n00:28:43,480 –> 00:28:46,600
\nredeeming.
\nBut how do we meditate? <\/p>\n

378
\n00:28:48,400 –> 00:28:51,920
\nDoesn’t mean sitting on the
\nfloor with your knees crossed on<\/p>\n

379
\n00:28:51,920 –> 00:28:57,400
\nyour hands empty your brain.
\nThat’s not meditation. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:28:58,520 –> 00:29:01,800
\nThere’s just nothing.
\nIt’s emptying your mind. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:29:02,160 –> 00:29:06,400
\nMeditation means to think about
\nsomething. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:29:07,560 –> 00:29:30,400
\nLook what it says in Psalm 63.
\nSee often we can’t sleep, <\/p>\n

383
\n00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:35,160
\nespecially after last night.
\nAnd it says in verse 6, I <\/p>\n

384
\n00:29:35,160 –> 00:29:39,640
\nremember thee upon my bed and
\nmeditate on thee in the night <\/p>\n

385
\n00:29:39,640 –> 00:29:44,120
\nwatches.
\nBut what do we think of think <\/p>\n

386
\n00:29:44,120 –> 00:29:48,160
\nabout when we wake up in the
\nmiddle of the night, but all the<\/p>\n

387
\n00:29:48,160 –> 00:29:51,400
\ntroubleshootal after a previous
\nday about the the fight together<\/p>\n

388
\n00:29:51,400 –> 00:29:54,880
\nas a colleague at work or some
\nkind of a discord in the family.<\/p>\n

389
\n00:29:54,880 –> 00:30:00,040
\nNow you focus on God’s word.
\nIt says that Psalm 77 is on the <\/p>\n

390
\n00:30:00,040 –> 00:30:05,640
\nscreen that our meditate of all
\nthy work and talk of thy doings.<\/p>\n

391
\n00:30:06,160 –> 00:30:09,680
\nPsalm 1 or 219.
\nI will meditate in thy precepts <\/p>\n

392
\n00:30:09,840 –> 00:30:11,640
\nand have respect and to thy
\nways. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:16,240
\nSo we need to meditate on
\nsomething, namely on God and his<\/p>\n

394
\n00:30:16,240 –> 00:30:18,720
\nwork, and to think of his
\nprecepts. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:30:20,000 –> 00:30:25,000
\nAnd the words meditate is the
\nsame as speak in Hebrew. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:30:26,840 –> 00:30:30,320
\nAnd so when it says, My mouth
\nshall speak of thy wisdom, and <\/p>\n

397
\n00:30:30,320 –> 00:30:33,320
\nthe meditation of my heart shall
\nbe of understanding, those are <\/p>\n

398
\n00:30:33,320 –> 00:30:37,400
\nthe words for meditation.
\nIt says, how love are thy law. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:30:37,400 –> 00:30:43,560
\nIt’s in my meditation all the
\nday, and it helps us to <\/p>\n

400
\n00:30:43,560 –> 00:30:48,320
\nmeditate.
\nAnd that actually is the word <\/p>\n

401
\n00:30:49,080 –> 00:30:56,720
\nHagar in Hebrew.
\nThat’s the word Hagar that means<\/p>\n

402
\n00:30:56,720 –> 00:31:00,560
\nto meditate quite interestingly
\nin modern Hebrew. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:31:00,560 –> 00:31:04,640
\nYou remember how Eliezer Benura
\ntried to use old biblical Hebrew<\/p>\n

404
\n00:31:04,640 –> 00:31:08,120
\nfor modern concepts?
\nYou drive a car, don’t you? <\/p>\n

405
\n00:31:09,520 –> 00:31:11,680
\nAnd I’ll be glad there’s a
\nsteering wheel because of as you<\/p>\n

406
\n00:31:11,680 –> 00:31:15,880
\ncrash into things.
\nSo the steering wheel makes it <\/p>\n

407
\n00:31:15,880 –> 00:31:18,080
\npossible for the car to go in
\nthe right direction. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:31:18,080 –> 00:31:19,480
\nDo you know what’s called in
\nHebrew? <\/p>\n

409
\n00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:23,000
\nA Haggar?
\nSame as the words for <\/p>\n

410
\n00:31:23,000 –> 00:31:26,760
\nmeditation.
\nAs the steering wheel steers the<\/p>\n

411
\n00:31:26,760 –> 00:31:31,640
\ncar through the roads.
\nSo our meditation will steer us <\/p>\n

412
\n00:31:31,640 –> 00:31:33,400
\nthrough life.
\nVery clever that was. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:31:36,200 –> 00:31:42,000
\nAnd so the sounds are are
\ninstrument to help us meditate. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:31:42,280 –> 00:31:48,360
\nLook what it says in Psalm 9.
\nGo to Psalm 9 please, because <\/p>\n

415
\n00:31:48,360 –> 00:32:03,160
\nthere that word Rigayon is used.
\nAnd verse 16, this yawa is known<\/p>\n

416
\n00:32:03,160 –> 00:32:05,360
\nby the judgment which he
\nexecuted. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:32:05,800 –> 00:32:08,320
\nThe wicked is snared in the work
\nof his own hands. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:32:08,560 –> 00:32:13,640
\nHigayon Si La is an important
\nfirst, because Yao is known by <\/p>\n

419
\n00:32:13,960 –> 00:32:17,520
\nthe judgement which he executed.
\nSo last night that fierce <\/p>\n

420
\n00:32:17,960 –> 00:32:21,600
\njudgement which got poured out
\non those wicked cities, and the <\/p>\n

421
\n00:32:21,600 –> 00:32:23,800
\nwicked was snared in the work of
\ntheir own hands. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:32:24,080 –> 00:32:25,800
\nThose are just things to
\nmeditate on. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:32:26,280 –> 00:32:29,400
\nNobody being jealous of the
\nwickeds of the wicked, We need <\/p>\n

424
\n00:32:29,400 –> 00:32:34,880
\nto see their ends, and then we
\nwon’t be distracted by them. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:32:35,760 –> 00:32:40,000
\nPsalm 19 Let the words of my
\nmouth and the meditation, the <\/p>\n

426
\n00:32:40,280 –> 00:32:44,960
\nHigayon of my heart, be
\nacceptable in thy sight, Yahweh,<\/p>\n

427
\n00:32:45,120 –> 00:32:52,960
\nmy Redeemer.
\nAnd so higayon is an interesting<\/p>\n

428
\n00:32:53,040 –> 00:32:57,440
\nword.
\nIt helps us to meditate on God’s<\/p>\n

429
\n00:32:57,440 –> 00:33:04,200
\nwords.
\nIt says in Psalm 1, this happy <\/p>\n

430
\n00:33:04,200 –> 00:33:07,080
\nis the man that walketh not in
\nthe council of Jim Godly, nor <\/p>\n

431
\n00:33:07,080 –> 00:33:10,320
\nstands in the way of sinners,
\nnor sitters in the seat of the <\/p>\n

432
\n00:33:10,320 –> 00:33:14,320
\nscornful, but his delight is in
\nthe law of Yahweh, and His law <\/p>\n

433
\n00:33:14,320 –> 00:33:22,480
\ndoes he meditate day and night.
\nThere’s actually a very <\/p>\n

434
\n00:33:22,800 –> 00:33:27,160
\ninteresting connection with the
\nbook of Esther. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:33:28,280 –> 00:33:31,800
\nI’d like you to go to the book
\nof Esther. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:33:53,840 –> 00:33:57,120
\nWe know the story.
\nThe king Archiviros, he had a <\/p>\n

437
\n00:33:57,120 –> 00:33:58,480
\nwife.
\nHe put on a feast. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:33:59,120 –> 00:34:03,120
\nAnd first he wouldn’t come
\nbecause she kept her own feasts.<\/p>\n

439
\n00:34:03,640 –> 00:34:07,360
\nShe didn’t want to you know
\nalthough dressed in a beautiful <\/p>\n

440
\n00:34:07,360 –> 00:34:09,960
\ndress, she had a beautiful
\ncountenance to show herself in <\/p>\n

441
\n00:34:09,960 –> 00:34:14,400
\nfront of all those men as she
\ndidn’t realise that all her <\/p>\n

442
\n00:34:14,400 –> 00:34:16,239
\nbeauty was derived from the
\nking. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:34:18,159 –> 00:34:20,880
\nAnd so the king was going to
\nlook for a new queen and <\/p>\n

444
\n00:34:22,960 –> 00:34:27,440
\nremember that all those virgins
\nwere gathered together. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:34:28,800 –> 00:34:34,239
\nAnd in verse 12 it says of
\nchapter 2 Now when every maid’s <\/p>\n

446
\n00:34:34,239 –> 00:34:39,080
\nturn was come to go in to King
\nArchuvios, after she had been 12<\/p>\n

447
\n00:34:39,080 –> 00:34:41,880
\nmonths, according to the men of
\nthe women, for so were the days <\/p>\n

448
\n00:34:41,880 –> 00:34:45,480
\nof their purification
\naccomplice. 6 months is oil of <\/p>\n

449
\n00:34:45,480 –> 00:34:48,600
\nMir.
\nThe oil of Mir is used in the <\/p>\n

450
\n00:34:48,679 –> 00:34:52,600
\nanointing oil which represents
\nthe Spirit word of God. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:34:53,120 –> 00:34:56,800
\nAnd six months is odours and
\nother things to the purifying of<\/p>\n

452
\n00:34:56,800 –> 00:35:00,120
\nthe women, probably incense,
\nwhich is type of prayer. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:35:01,240 –> 00:35:03,840
\nSo just came every maiden unto
\nthe king. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:35:04,080 –> 00:35:07,480
\nWhatsoever she desired was given
\nher to go with her out of the <\/p>\n

455
\n00:35:07,480 –> 00:35:10,120
\nHouse of the women into the
\nKing’s house. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:35:10,560 –> 00:35:14,240
\nIn the evenings she went, and on
\nthe morning she returned into <\/p>\n

457
\n00:35:14,240 –> 00:35:17,680
\nthe second House of two women to
\nthe custody of Shah Gaz, the <\/p>\n

458
\n00:35:17,680 –> 00:35:20,000
\nKing’s Chamberlain, which kept
\nthe concubines. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:35:20,240 –> 00:35:23,360
\nAnd she came in into the king no
\nmore, except the king delighted <\/p>\n

460
\n00:35:23,360 –> 00:35:25,360
\nin her, and she was called by
\nname. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:35:26,880 –> 00:35:30,120
\nBasically it was a House of
\ndeath that the king didn’t call.<\/p>\n

462
\n00:35:30,120 –> 00:35:33,360
\nYou stuck there and you couldn’t
\nmarry anybody else. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:35:33,360 –> 00:35:35,040
\nAnd this way you spent the rest
\nof your life. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:35:35,440 –> 00:35:41,360
\nBut now verse 15, when the turn
\nof Esther, the daughter of <\/p>\n

465
\n00:35:41,400 –> 00:35:45,000
\nAbigail, the uncle of Mordecai,
\nwho had taken her for his <\/p>\n

466
\n00:35:45,000 –> 00:35:48,680
\ndaughter, was come to go in unto
\nthe king, she required nothing <\/p>\n

467
\n00:35:48,680 –> 00:35:52,120
\nbut what Haggai the King’s
\nChamberlain, the keeper of the <\/p>\n

468
\n00:35:52,120 –> 00:35:55,160
\nwomen appointed.
\nAnd Esther obtained favour in <\/p>\n

469
\n00:35:55,160 –> 00:35:57,080
\nthe sight of all them that
\nlooked upon her. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:35:58,320 –> 00:36:00,200
\nAnd then the king made the great
\nfeast. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:36:00,200 –> 00:36:03,720
\nIn verse 18 \/ 17.
\nThe king loved Esther of all <\/p>\n

472
\n00:36:03,720 –> 00:36:05,880
\nwomen.
\nShe obtained grace and favour in<\/p>\n

473
\n00:36:05,880 –> 00:36:07,720
\nthe sight more than all the
\nvirgins. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:36:08,080 –> 00:36:11,160
\nSo he said the royal crown upon
\nher head and made her queen <\/p>\n

475
\n00:36:11,160 –> 00:36:15,000
\ninstead of fasting.
\nBut we want to be the bride of <\/p>\n

476
\n00:36:15,000 –> 00:36:17,080
\nChrist, and he’s going to be
\nking. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:36:17,080 –> 00:36:18,760
\nThen we hope to be the queen,
\ndon’t we? <\/p>\n

478
\n00:36:21,120 –> 00:36:25,040
\nBut how can we make the king
\nlove us? <\/p>\n

479
\n00:36:28,720 –> 00:36:31,160
\nAll those girls had to go
\nthrough the same process of <\/p>\n

480
\n00:36:31,160 –> 00:36:34,880
\npurification and then they could
\nchoose something extra. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:36:37,240 –> 00:36:41,120
\nWell, I’m the girls.
\nSo what would you choose, girls,<\/p>\n

482
\n00:36:41,200 –> 00:36:47,040
\nWomen, you go to the king.
\nNicely coloured socks or so or <\/p>\n

483
\n00:36:47,480 –> 00:36:51,000
\nnice shoes, some some earrings
\nor necklace. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:36:51,560 –> 00:36:53,640
\nYou go to the hairdresser, nice
\nlittle hairdo. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:36:54,040 –> 00:36:56,000
\nWhat do you do to please the
\nking? <\/p>\n

486
\n00:36:57,040 –> 00:36:59,880
\nWell, actually it’s something.
\nAnd she won the contest, as it <\/p>\n

487
\n00:36:59,880 –> 00:37:07,920
\nwere, as a pity that we don’t
\nknow what made it acceptable was<\/p>\n

488
\n00:37:07,920 –> 00:37:12,520
\nthe king.
\nI must have the right idea. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:37:12,520 –> 00:37:17,760
\nWhen those one of those young
\nwomen went to the king, it <\/p>\n

490
\n00:37:17,760 –> 00:37:23,800
\nwasn’t just to spend the night
\nwith him, because the king had a<\/p>\n

491
\n00:37:23,800 –> 00:37:31,920
\nfull day of work to do.
\nHe had to receive guests and the<\/p>\n

492
\n00:37:31,920 –> 00:37:37,600
\nQueen was his companion.
\nShe had to be able to hold a <\/p>\n

493
\n00:37:37,600 –> 00:37:42,360
\nconversation with the guests and
\nshe must show an interest in the<\/p>\n

494
\n00:37:42,360 –> 00:37:47,000
\nwork of the king, knowing that
\neven if she would marry the king<\/p>\n

495
\n00:37:47,000 –> 00:37:49,760
\nand have children, that she must
\nbe able to bring up those <\/p>\n

496
\n00:37:49,760 –> 00:37:51,800
\nchildren because the king was
\nvery busy. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:37:52,400 –> 00:37:56,800
\nHe needs a wise an intelligent
\ncompanion. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:37:58,560 –> 00:38:03,640
\nA king has only so much interest
\nin talking endlessly about <\/p>\n

499
\n00:38:03,640 –> 00:38:12,480
\nhairdos and earrings and so on.
\nThe interesting thing is that it<\/p>\n

500
\n00:38:12,480 –> 00:38:18,040
\nis possible to know what made
\nEsther accept it. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:38:18,120 –> 00:38:24,840
\nWith the king she took nothing
\nbut what Haggai had appointed. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:38:25,080 –> 00:38:27,560
\nThe Haggai is the same word as
\nHigayon. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:38:28,040 –> 00:38:30,520
\nSame with us.
\nHaggad is where it comes from. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:38:30,800 –> 00:38:37,320
\nIt means meditation.
\nWhy did God choose Mary to be <\/p>\n

505
\n00:38:37,320 –> 00:38:41,120
\nthe mother of his son?
\nBecause he pondered those <\/p>\n

506
\n00:38:41,120 –> 00:38:44,240
\nthings.
\nIn her heart she thought about <\/p>\n

507
\n00:38:44,240 –> 00:38:46,640
\nthings.
\nShe was a had a reflective mind.<\/p>\n

508
\n00:38:46,640 –> 00:38:50,360
\nAnd that’s what the king needs.
\nHe needs to be able to trust his<\/p>\n

509
\n00:38:50,360 –> 00:38:53,360
\nscreen, to look after the wives
\nof the ambassadors and to <\/p>\n

510
\n00:38:53,360 –> 00:38:55,720
\nentertain them in an intelligent
\nway. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:38:57,320 –> 00:38:59,360
\nA bit in the bed.
\nThat’s part of life. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:38:59,360 –> 00:39:01,600
\nThere’s only very small section
\nof it, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

513
\n00:39:02,360 –> 00:39:10,240
\nSo he wanted a woman that can
\nthink, can speak, that has read,<\/p>\n

514
\n00:39:10,640 –> 00:39:13,120
\nthat is intelligent and it is
\nattractive. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:39:13,480 –> 00:39:17,280
\nAnd we can be like that if we
\nmeditate on the Word of God. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:39:17,720 –> 00:39:22,160
\nAnd I found that there is no
\npart of Scripture so powerful to<\/p>\n

517
\n00:39:22,160 –> 00:39:29,920
\ndo that as the sounds I would
\nlike to read you something <\/p>\n

518
\n00:39:29,920 –> 00:39:34,080
\nbecause I’ve got a few minutes
\nleft of the writings of John <\/p>\n

519
\n00:39:34,080 –> 00:39:40,040
\nThomas see been a struggle in
\nour community all the time how <\/p>\n

520
\n00:39:40,040 –> 00:39:44,920
\nto praise God and how to and to
\npray to him. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:39:45,680 –> 00:39:49,200
\nAnd the apostle Paul says I will
\nsing Mr. Spirit. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:39:49,200 –> 00:39:54,040
\nI will sing Mr. Understanding
\nalso I would sing is actually <\/p>\n

523
\n00:39:54,040 –> 00:39:56,960
\nthe word Psalm.
\nSo I’ll sing with my <\/p>\n

524
\n00:39:56,960 –> 00:40:00,560
\nunderstanding and I’ll Psalm
\nwith the understanding. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:40:01,360 –> 00:40:08,520
\nJohn Thomas wrote in 1836 an
\ninteresting article in the <\/p>\n

526
\n00:40:09,080 –> 00:40:13,960
\nApostolic Advocate in the second
\nvolume called the Psalmady, and <\/p>\n

527
\n00:40:13,960 –> 00:40:16,720
\nin his terminology that means
\nthe hymn book. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:40:17,600 –> 00:40:21,000
\nI already quoted you from Elpos
\nIsrael that John Thomas wrote. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:40:21,000 –> 00:40:24,080
\nIt is true that no man has a
\nright to worship God as he <\/p>\n

530
\n00:40:24,080 –> 00:40:26,480
\npleases.
\nThis is a Protestant fallacy. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:40:26,720 –> 00:40:30,960
\nMan has a right to worship God
\nonly in the way God himself has <\/p>\n

532
\n00:40:30,960 –> 00:40:34,880
\nappointed.
\nThen he writes the word Samadi <\/p>\n

533
\n00:40:34,880 –> 00:40:41,920
\nis compounded of Salo to sing,
\nor a poem or a composition in <\/p>\n

534
\n00:40:42,200 –> 00:40:44,600
\nmeasure.
\nThis is his general <\/p>\n

535
\n00:40:44,600 –> 00:40:48,360
\nsignification in its restricted
\nand scriptural sense. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:40:48,680 –> 00:40:52,800
\nThe term is applied to the
\nsinging of meters or measures <\/p>\n

537
\n00:40:52,800 –> 00:40:58,600
\ndictated by the Holy Spirit.
\nPsalmody under this limitation <\/p>\n

538
\n00:40:58,840 –> 00:41:02,400
\nwas the means prescribed by the
\napostle to the Ephesians, by <\/p>\n

539
\n00:41:02,400 –> 00:41:05,320
\nwhich to exhilarate and cheer
\ntheir hearts. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:41:05,640 –> 00:41:09,080
\nHe presented as the anthesis to
\nwine, and says, Be filled with <\/p>\n

541
\n00:41:09,080 –> 00:41:12,000
\nthe Spirit speaking to one
\nanother in psalms, hymns, and <\/p>\n

542
\n00:41:12,000 –> 00:41:15,480
\nspiritual songs, singing and
\nmaking melody in your hearts to <\/p>\n

543
\n00:41:15,480 –> 00:41:18,160
\nthe Lord.
\nAnd again he says, Let the word <\/p>\n

544
\n00:41:18,160 –> 00:41:21,480
\nof Christ dwell.
\nRich dwell in your richly with <\/p>\n

545
\n00:41:21,480 –> 00:41:25,360
\nall wisdom teach Mananadi and
\nadmonish Mananadi by psalms, <\/p>\n

546
\n00:41:25,560 –> 00:41:28,760
\nhymns and spiritual songs,
\nsaying with gratitude in your <\/p>\n

547
\n00:41:28,760 –> 00:41:33,400
\nheart to the Lord.
\nLet people ask him, what <\/p>\n

548
\n00:41:33,400 –> 00:41:35,520
\npsalmony, What hymn book shall
\nwe use? <\/p>\n

549
\n00:41:36,880 –> 00:41:40,600
\nHe said, I replied, the book of
\nPsalms. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:41:40,880 –> 00:41:44,360
\nThis was the national psalmody
\nhit, the national hymn book of <\/p>\n

551
\n00:41:44,360 –> 00:41:46,840
\nthe Jewish nation for many
\ncenturies. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:41:47,120 –> 00:41:50,240
\nIt is full from beginning to the
\nend of the word of Christ. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:41:50,880 –> 00:41:54,080
\nJesus and his apostles have and
\nstamped upon it the divine <\/p>\n

554
\n00:41:55,000 –> 00:41:58,720
\nimpremature, whatever that
\nmeans, and all things must be <\/p>\n

555
\n00:41:58,720 –> 00:42:01,920
\nfulfilled which were written
\nconcerning me, says Jesus in the<\/p>\n

556
\n00:42:01,920 –> 00:42:05,560
\nlaw, the prophets, and the
\nPsalms concerning Him. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:42:06,520 –> 00:42:11,720
\nSo he was on the right track.
\nHe loved the Psalms, and in the <\/p>\n

558
\n00:42:11,720 –> 00:42:14,640
\nrights.
\nIf there were no other <\/p>\n

559
\n00:42:14,640 –> 00:42:19,120
\nprophecies available to us than
\nthose contained in the book of <\/p>\n

560
\n00:42:19,120 –> 00:42:22,800
\nPsalms.
\nThis contain abundant and <\/p>\n

561
\n00:42:22,800 –> 00:42:26,960
\nsufficient testimony to prove
\nthat the Messiah of God should <\/p>\n

562
\n00:42:26,960 –> 00:42:29,800
\nbe a sufferer for sin.
\nThat He should be declared <\/p>\n

563
\n00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:33,120
\nrighteous by resurrection from
\nthe dead, be exalted to the <\/p>\n

564
\n00:42:33,120 –> 00:42:37,440
\nright hand of the majesty on
\nhigh, be an object of adoration.<\/p>\n

565
\n00:42:37,680 –> 00:42:39,600
\nThat He should descend from
\nheaven again. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:42:39,920 –> 00:42:43,800
\nAttended with incessant
\nlightnings that should come to <\/p>\n

567
\n00:42:43,800 –> 00:42:47,440
\nZion, raise the dead, subdue the
\nnations, and establish His name <\/p>\n

568
\n00:42:47,440 –> 00:42:50,120
\nforever.
\nAll that he says you can learn <\/p>\n

569
\n00:42:50,120 –> 00:42:53,960
\nfrom the sounds.
\nThe whole gospel is laid out for<\/p>\n

570
\n00:42:53,960 –> 00:42:57,360
\nus in the book of sounds, says
\nJohn Thomas. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:42:58,560 –> 00:43:04,120
\nAnd he was struggling with the
\nhymn book because it was Robert <\/p>\n

572
\n00:43:04,120 –> 00:43:07,120
\nRoberts who brought in the
\ngolden harp. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:43:09,240 –> 00:43:11,080
\nAnd John Thomas loved the
\nsounds. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:43:12,400 –> 00:43:16,480
\nHe was one of the best psalmist
\nof the best hymn books, and we <\/p>\n

575
\n00:43:16,480 –> 00:43:20,600
\ncall it one of the best because
\none of the least inconsistent <\/p>\n

576
\n00:43:20,600 –> 00:43:25,920
\nwith the truth is the collection
\nof rhymes in use among us. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:43:26,880 –> 00:43:30,760
\nBut still the objections to
\nother soundies lies with equal <\/p>\n

578
\n00:43:30,760 –> 00:43:38,400
\nweight against this one, namely,
\nit is composed of uninspired <\/p>\n

579
\n00:43:38,440 –> 00:43:44,920
\ndeities, that’s John Thomas.
\nHence our hymn book does not <\/p>\n

580
\n00:43:44,920 –> 00:43:49,480
\ncontain a single spiritual song
\nor song of the Spirit. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:43:50,200 –> 00:43:52,680
\nIn my view of the case, the
\nSamadi of the body of Christ <\/p>\n

582
\n00:43:52,680 –> 00:43:56,040
\nought to be as spiritual as the
\nrevelations of the Old and New <\/p>\n

583
\n00:43:56,040 –> 00:44:00,760
\nTestaments, and we might just as
\nwell have a great book for our <\/p>\n

584
\n00:44:00,760 –> 00:44:05,760
\nBible as human political
\ncompositions for our Samadi. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:44:06,080 –> 00:44:10,840
\nUninspired men, however great,
\ngood, learned or poetical, are <\/p>\n

586
\n00:44:10,840 –> 00:44:15,400
\nall incompetent to the task of
\ncomposing a Sartre fit for the <\/p>\n

587
\n00:44:15,400 –> 00:44:19,520
\ncelebration of the works, the
\nwonders and the excellencies of <\/p>\n

588
\n00:44:19,520 –> 00:44:20,760
\nthe Lords.
\nOur God. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:44:22,920 –> 00:44:24,880
\nThen you ask yourself what can
\nbe done under these <\/p>\n

590
\n00:44:24,880 –> 00:44:30,480
\ncircumstances?
\nIn reply to this enquiry says, I<\/p>\n

591
\n00:44:30,480 –> 00:44:34,560
\nwould observe that if I had no
\nremedy to propose, I should have<\/p>\n

592
\n00:44:34,560 –> 00:44:37,320
\nremained silent upon this topic,
\nwhich is a delicate one. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:44:37,800 –> 00:44:39,560
\nIt’s difficult.
\nWe all love our handbook. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:44:40,080 –> 00:44:41,960
\nWe’ve got to be careful.
\nThere’s things in there which <\/p>\n

595
\n00:44:42,280 –> 00:44:47,000
\nare not Scripture, so it had
\nonly a new compilation of <\/p>\n

596
\n00:44:47,040 –> 00:44:49,640
\nuninspired rhymes.
\nTo offer the foregoing <\/p>\n

597
\n00:44:49,640 –> 00:44:52,480
\nobservation would be invidious,
\nbut I feel as free from this <\/p>\n

598
\n00:44:52,480 –> 00:44:55,440
\nimputation as though no meters
\nwere in use of us. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:44:55,720 –> 00:44:58,880
\nI now advocate the claims of the
\npsalmody of which the Holy <\/p>\n

600
\n00:44:58,880 –> 00:45:01,760
\nSpirit is the author, in
\npreference to all others <\/p>\n

601
\n00:45:02,000 –> 00:45:05,320
\nwhatsoever.
\nI have therefore been encouraged<\/p>\n

602
\n00:45:05,320 –> 00:45:09,600
\nby several brethren to undertake
\nthe work, determined to attempt <\/p>\n

603
\n00:45:09,600 –> 00:45:12,880
\nthe improvement, or rather the
\nrestoration, of the ancient <\/p>\n

604
\n00:45:12,880 –> 00:45:16,720
\npsalmody of the body of Christ.
\nNow I’m more impelled to essay <\/p>\n

605
\n00:45:16,720 –> 00:45:19,640
\nthis in obedience to the command
\nof the apostle, which has <\/p>\n

606
\n00:45:19,640 –> 00:45:21,480
\nalready been considered a
\ncommand. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:45:21,480 –> 00:45:25,120
\nI conceive as much to be obeyed
\nas any other that can be <\/p>\n

608
\n00:45:25,120 –> 00:45:29,200
\nadduced.
\nAnd he started to put the psalms<\/p>\n

609
\n00:45:29,200 –> 00:45:32,800
\nto meter.
\nThere’s an example here of Psalm<\/p>\n

610
\n00:45:32,880 –> 00:45:38,480
\n51 here in the Samadi.
\nHe went through the psalms and <\/p>\n

611
\n00:45:38,600 –> 00:45:41,640
\nput them to meters.
\nSo without changing the words, <\/p>\n

612
\n00:45:41,640 –> 00:45:46,480
\nhardly he wanted to use the
\nsounds and make the sounds. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:45:47,200 –> 00:45:51,040
\nOur handbook.
\nIf you look through the old <\/p>\n

614
\n00:45:51,040 –> 00:45:54,920
\nChristadelphia you find several
\nof those psalms 72 another ones,<\/p>\n

615
\n00:45:55,360 –> 00:45:57,840
\nand I don’t know why that was
\nnever taken up. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:45:58,600 –> 00:46:02,880
\nMaybe his work was destroyed by
\nthat fire that destroyed his <\/p>\n

617
\n00:46:02,880 –> 00:46:06,320
\nprinting press.
\nIt was certainly John Thomas <\/p>\n

618
\n00:46:06,320 –> 00:46:10,320
\nidea that we should use the
\nsounds in our worship, both in <\/p>\n

619
\n00:46:10,320 –> 00:46:13,000
\nour prayers and in the hymns we
\nsings. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:46:13,440 –> 00:46:18,640
\nAnd he concludes his article
\nwith this by query. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:46:18,680 –> 00:46:23,600
\nA query by way of finale.
\nWhat psalmody extant? <\/p>\n

622
\n00:46:23,960 –> 00:46:30,080
\nIs it probable Messiah will
\nchoose to the praise and glory <\/p>\n

623
\n00:46:30,080 –> 00:46:34,600
\nof God when He comes to open the
\nworship of the millennial age? <\/p>\n

624
\n00:46:35,760 –> 00:46:40,240
\nWould you select the rhythmical,
\nuninspired traditions of any <\/p>\n

625
\n00:46:40,240 –> 00:46:45,520
\nsect extent, or rather those
\nspiritual odes so replete with <\/p>\n

626
\n00:46:45,520 –> 00:46:49,800
\nthe celebrations of His varied
\nfortunes as either psalms, <\/p>\n

627
\n00:46:50,200 –> 00:46:53,920
\nhymns, and songs of the Spirit
\nof God? <\/p>\n

628
\n00:46:54,440 –> 00:46:59,600
\nDoubtless the latter.
\nLet us then resolve to do so <\/p>\n

629
\n00:46:59,760 –> 00:47:03,880
\ntoo, but it.
\nJohn Thomas, thank you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
