2Sam 11:1 - And at the turn of the year, at the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent out Joab and his servants with him and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
2Sam 11:2 - And late one afternoon David rose from his bed and went for a walk on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
2Sam 11:3 - And David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, This is none other than Bath-sheba the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite.
2Sam 11:4 - And David sent messengers and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had just purified herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
Dear brothers and sisters , never be idle , it is the most powerful weapon of the enemy , here we see that David sent everyone for battle and he was at peace and idle , he just woke up from bed and was taking a walk in the garden and he fell into temptation , We see that David was Idle , dear brothers and sister , we must never be idle , it is better to be involved in some work , in Genesis chapter 3 God says to Adam "In toil will you eat of it all the days of your life" , We must realize that God said this to Adam , Not only as some punishment , but from love , God knew that now sin has entered into man , if he would be idle , he would be never be in the presence of God if he was idle , He would do the things of the flesh , many times God gives us many sufferings so that we would flee from our lustful life ...
Now David did not have internet at that time , but we maybe be doing the same thing , we get up from the bed , and we have nothing to do , we got a 1 month holiday ,so lets get into the internet , I am not blaming you brothers , but the flesh always Goes behind the flesh, we may be just browsing just like David on the top of the roof , and suddenly we see something and we fall into temptation , We must realize that our spririt grievs when we in the soul , searching after the things of the soul, when we are watching a movie , we must realize that we are Taking God with us to watch that movie , we are eating Dust of the world. The food of satan is dust , when we are watching a movie , we must realize that satan is behind the movies and he is eating us inwardly , I too regret for watching movies so much , because sometimes when i am down in my spirtual life , all the thought and things what i have seen comes to haunt us , We must realize that devil hides himself behind the beautiful things of the world , and he sows a seed into our mind , and later this seed grows and haunts us . What we express is from what we eat , when we eat from the dust of this world , we express satan , but when we eat Christ , we express Christ. Brothers, when we play the video games, its 12.00 pm and we say just 15 minutes , its 1.00 pm and we say 15 more minutes , and 2 pm the same , 3 pm the same , 4 pm the same... and when we get tired, we go to sleep..who does this? I raise both my hands to this ... Accept it brothers , we must learn to accept our mistakes, God wants us to accept the mistake and ask for forgiveness , when Adam and eve sinned , God asked Adam "WHERE ARE YOU?" God wanted Adam to ask forgiveness , but he didnt he blamed His wife and Blamed God He said "the women whom you gave me did it ", When a child does something mischeivious , when we ask him , he says "he did it " or gives an explanation for it , the same way ,we must have a through confession before the lord, we must not come up with excuses , God did not condemn Adam right after he sinned , but he was preached the Gospel , He slain the lamb and Made him clothes , this lamb being slain typifies Christ ,and the Clothes typifies Richousness .. We must have a through confession before the lord .."we must say , Lord , i did this , or Lord I did this again ." We see in romans 7 that our flesh is weak , Paul says that he tried to do good , but he couldnt , It is impossible for us to get away from all the temptations , But hallelujah , there is a solutioin , there is a way, that way is our spirit , bible say , Mind set on spirit is life and peace , set your mind on the spirit so that you will not fullfill the lust of the flesh .. When we set our mind on the spirit , we are freed from slavery, Brothers , Geniunely ask the lord ,"Lord i open my self to you , fill me with your life , I need you more , deal with my self , Lord i am weak , i cannot do anything , Lord satan is crouching at the door , Lord deliver me from the evil one , Lord constrain me by your love , " Brothers , i can testify that this prayer really touches the Lords heart , and we recieve the answer in an instant.. The lord wants you to turn to him , When a cup is upside down , can a rain water fill it ?? the first thing we should do is turn to the lord , when we turn to the lord , we get filled with his life.
I want to say an example , when one of the women in the time of Elija , who was a wife of a prophet was debted to the government , she called Elija , because she did not know what to do , she knew that the officials on their way, coming to enslave her, At that time , when you dont pay the taxes , you would be taken as captives.This officials represents sin or satan which is crouching at the door which is ready to enslave us , She called Elija , And Elija asked 2 question , 1 st question is , what do you want ? , right now when we call on the lord , he asks us what do you want ? , he wants us to say to him , speak to him , although he knows , when lord Jesus was on the earth , the blind man called jesus , and said , Jesus , Son of Nazareth , have mercy on me ... and the Lord said "what do you want??" ... so he needs us to speak to him ,... and the next question what Elija asked was , "What do you have?" and she replied that she has a jar of oil in an earthern vessel , this jar of oil is the Holy spirit and the earthern vessel which contains this oil is our spirit , and Elija said , borrow some vessels from your neighbour and pour that oil in them , and when we read , we see that , she borrowed the vessels , went to her room privately , and she started pouring ,and all the vessels were filled , these many vessels typify our different parts of our being , all our parts long for some thing to fill it , we must go to our room privately , confess our sins and start to fill all our part with this spirit , we must confess to the lord one by one , and fill them with Christ , then we will see the divine filling , and we see that , she poured all the vessels and filled them and there were no more ,.. this must be our experience .. Hallelujah
