Hello and Welcome, This Is Pastor Deborah
The following PRAYER is from a movie
David and Bathsheba
1951
Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward
This is an excellent example of a prayer
for a
Leader/A King/A President/A Prime Minister/A Judge/A CEO of a Business/A Parent/A Shepherd to pray
When Things are Not Going Well
In The Land
With The People or A Family
With The Land’s Resources
With The Government
With The Justice for the People
With the Company/Business
With the Health and Welfare of A Nation
With Family
With the Little Ones,
even with those who barely make it out of the womb or are killed in the womb
With All The Creatures of The Earth
To set the atmosphere for The Prayer, here is the back story
King David
Was no longer a Righteous King
Due to
Adultery, Murder, Lying, Deception
because He was out of His Place of Being on the Field of Battle with his troops, but resting in the Palace and saw a naked Bathsheba, who was already married to another man, Uriah. taking a bath and through The Lust of His Eyes, The Lust of His Flesh and His Pride of Being A King,
King David, Took Another Man’s Wife, Uriah’s.
Uriah was one of King David’s Best Warriors and Solider and was out in the field of Battle as King David was suppose to be, and not resting and lusting back in the Palace and seeking the companionship of a woman, Bathsheba.
The Eyes of King David Lusted,
His Heart Desired and His Authority as a King Took what was not his to take.
Bathsheba, Obeyed Her King and Laid with Him and both became Adulterers
The Relationship continued,
A Child was conceived
and the King’s Unrighteous Heart and Mind Hatched a Plan to have Uriah, the legal husband of Bathsheba killed in the front lines of battle by his own soldiers.
Lust Came To It’s Fullness and Murder of It’s Opposition Happened
Yet, The King, David kept this murder secret from all,
HE THOUGHT!!!
But The Lord of Israel, The King of David
Knew the Great Sins of The Flesh of Unrighteousness of King David he had done
To Speak To King David,
The Lord spoke to one of His Prophets, Nathan in prayer and with a vision
and
told him a story of a man stealing/taking a baby lamb of another man , that had been raised up with the man since it was born and killing it and eating it for his own pleasure and delight.
Nathan told this story to the King to get a King’s Judgement towards the man who took the baby lamb of another.
King David listened and JUDGED that the man deserved
DEATH
AS HIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT
for the sins of stealing, robbing, taking another’s property
and The Prophet, Nathan
said to King David
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Nathan spoke the Words of The Lord of Israel to King David of his deeds and the unrighteous heart had done
And By The King’s Own Words, Death Was Pronouced and By God, Himself had pronounced
DEATH!!
But, It would be the DEATH OF THE CHILD that was conceived in sin by King David and Bathsheba
The Child Would Die in it’s birth!
BUT DAVID WOULD LIVE!!
And the Death of Bathsheba would also occur
BUT DAVID WOULD LIVE!!!
and during this time
The Land and The Nation
were suffering under the Judgment of God for the King’s Unrighteousness and Sin
The Land was in drought,
The people were suffering,
Death was coming to the child and to Bathsheba
King David of Israel then goes into The Holy of Holies where the Ark of The Covenant was
King David falls on his knees/bows his head before the Ark of The Covenant
The Ark of The Covenant
The meeting place of The God of Israel and It’s Priests
But no King was to enter this scared and holy place
For they were not anointed to be the Prophet of The God of The Covenant
Death would come if one who was not clean in heart and spirit and in deep spiritual relationship with this God of Israel
But King David, Had to Risk His own death to speak with and pray and plead with the God He had so sinfully Disobeyed and Dishonored and abused The Trust He was Given of the Land, The Nation and The Resources.
Through Being Out of Place with His Army
For Looking With the Eyes of Flesh at a woman and desiring her
Through adultery with another man’s wife
With covering up his known sins by having Bathsheba’s husband, Uriah killed in battle by his own men
To then marry Bathsheba and Deny He Ordered her husband’s death on the battle field
Living in unrighteousness
With His People – Killing those who served him and fought for him
With the very ones he was to Shepherd as he did his father’s sheep many years ago out in the wilderness
With The Treasures of The Authority of Being a King and Ordering another’s murder who stood in his way of his lust of his flesh, the lust of his eyes, and the pride of his life.
With the abuse of his position as King of a nation, the people, the army, the resources, the shepherd of another’s land and people
With Death as his companion to help him get what his flesh wanted,
Freedom to marry Bathsheba
Deception to Others, even to Bathsheba
But Not to His God of Israel!!
So, Into the Presence of God King David went
Risking Death himself for his sins of his heart
But, In He Went
Now, on his knees, with his head bowed
To the Ark of The Covenant,
The Place of Meeting with God,
The Great I Am, The God of Israel, The God of King David
Father God,
Hear My Prayer,
Let Your eyes which ALONE see clearly,
Fall upon your worthless servant
In all things, have I failed you.
My life is a waste.
My Crimes are many and terrible.
To My sons, I have bequeathed the Evil in my blood,
and
My people into Misery and Want.
I have USED YOU in ingratitude and betrayed Your Trust.
I have been a FAITHLESS SHEPHERD.
I am dust in the Sight of Your Eyes
(Bowing his face to the floor while on his knees )
I am less than the meanest creature crawling on the earth and Yet O’ God I am also your creation.
Take NOT Your Holy Spirit from me.
That Spirit which abode/lived with me when I was in the wilderness
I ask nothing for myself O’ God by my sins, I have put myself beyond the compass of Your Forgiveness.
But, Lift Your hand from Your people who suffer for MY CRIMES
Forgive them/the people the sin
THAT HAS NOT BEEN THEIRS BUT MINE!
Let THE LAND
You gave their fathers
FLOW ONCE MORE with Your Abundance
( hands folded on his knees )
And
Let Bathsheba Live To Praise Your Name and Testify to Your Mercy
Show her the Love of Kindness of Your Heart
Cleanse her from sin
AND
Let Your Punishment fall on Your Servant Who has earned it.
Look not at the sinner who comes before You
But on the Boy/child he was, who loved You
and
who would had died for you.
Make my heart/mind as his ( the child’s ) the boy,
Let the boy live again
IN HIS INNOCENSE
Grant him/that boy/that child Your Mercy
AND
TAKE THIS DAVID’S LIFE!!!
( the sinner I have become as an adult, as the King of Israel/not innocent anymore )
King David touches the ark on his knees with both hands
( he should have been struck down dead from the Power and Presence of God that kills sinners )
Thunder and Lighting Come
DAVID THE SINNER, THE ADULT, THE ADULTER DIES!!!!
David The INNOCENT boy is BACK ALIVE in David’s heart/mind as well as in God’s Presence.
The BOY, A DREAMER, A SINGER OF SONGS, SHEPHERD, THE YOUNGEST in the family Who AT HIS SPIRIUTAL ANOINTING was told by Samuel The Prophet to
Honor God
Walk In His Light/Truth
Serve Him as few are permitted to serve
David, The Innocent Boy, Is Spiritually Alive Again
The Adult Sinner of soul and spirit,
The King David, WAS DEAD!!
Rain Comes/A sign of The Blessings of God comes and the drought in the land of Israel, is Broken.
God signals His acceptance of the cries of a sinner and his request to die and be born again as an innocent child.
King David backs out of the Holy of Holies. The Lord is My Shepherd is being sung by the people.
Nathan, The Prophet says to David
No man can hope to know the real Nature of God, but He has given a glimpse of His Name!
Everyone is on their knees in prayer.
May your soul and spiritual heart stay as the young boy as David had been and live as a child before the Lord.
For If NOT,
Many others will suffer for The Leader’s SINS as this movie has shown us,
A King,
A Government Leader,
A Politician,
A Prime Minister,
A President,
A Leader of a Family,
or
just an individual who is responsible for one’s own physical body and it’s actions from it’s soul
will affect
NOT ONLY ONESELF, BUT OTHERS!
The Promise Land of Nations, Cities, Towns, Neighborhoods, and the Physical Body
WILL BE STRICKEN WITH DROUGHT AND NOT PRODUCE IT’S BLESSINGS AND WILL BE UNDER THE LAW OF JUDGEMENT BECAUSE OF THE
ACTIONS AND HEART OF THE LEADER!!!
And
The Crimes/The Sins
Will Be Sins Of Those Who Have Been Given the Responsibility of Being a Leader of
Nations, Land, Business, Education, Families, Government, Family Leaders, Community Leaders
And
THE JUDGMENT OF DEATH IS GIVEN!
One will NEED to come as King David did on one’s knees and humble oneself as King David did and confess one’s crimes before the Presence of the God of The Ark of The Covenant and seek a child like heart and for the sin and criminal heart/mind to die.
And ASK nothing for your selves, except to be the child again of INNOCENCE in your hearts and in the Eyes of The God of The Ark of The Covenant
because we ourselves are responsible for those who HE HAS GIVEN as Leader to Shepherd/Govern/Parent.
Please take your Role and Leadership of Nations, Land, Resources, Families, Business, Schools, Government very seriously for the spiritual and natural lives, the land, the living creatures, the people are your spiritual responsibility as the Nation and Land of Israel was Under King David.
Listen to King David’s Song He Wrote as a Child, as a Shepherd in the fields with His Father’s Sheep Long Ago
Psalm 23: 1 – 6
Authorized King James Version
Verse 1 The Lord/Owner and Creator of Heaven and Earth Is MY Shepherd; I shall not want
Verse 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters,
Verse 3 He restores my soul: He leads me in the Paths of Righteousness for His Name’s Sake
Verse 4 Yea, though I walk through the Valley of The Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil: for You are with me; Your Rod and Your Staff, They comfort me.
Verse 5 You prepare a table before me in the spiritual presence of mine enemies: You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Verse 6 Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell /live/reside in the House/Family/Presence of The Lord Forever
