Oh blow upon us sweet breeze
like the swaying of flowers
 its the brush of angel wings

 Let The heavenly light shine
like the beauty of creation.
illuminate your form

Affection is falling
the sweet love of God
consumes our desires
a fall into His arms

Our hearts transposed
this spell of affection
like dew from heaven
we fall back and rest

Longing for Christ
its a heavenly desire
losing our lives
for our heavenly prize

Its Christ in us
the hope of glory
we are lost in wonder
with heaven in mind

Come sweet Spirit
baptize us with fire
console our hearts
fill us with love

God has explained Himself in His word His word describes the true image of God. The image revealed in the Person of Christ. Each word is communicated to us by the illumination of the Trinity. We look on Christ who is the revealed word. He is the image of God.

God is a Triune God who relates in perfect unity as the Father Son and Holy Spirit. God is three distinct Persons in one essence. The unity of the Three Person is a display of all of the attributes of God in His holiness.

Ps 7 14He who is pregnant with evil
and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment.

The Psalmist teaches that the world is a place where violence is practiced in order to be successful. Because God made man as a free moral agent , He has implanted the law in man as the means to communicate his world view. Obviously without rules the culture would be chaotic. So the Psalmist teaches that the problem does not start because of a rule.The problem is that man uses the rule as a way to succeed by threats. But without threats the organization would be chaotic. So man is forced to become his own god.

So God had to render man powerless to use the law as an instrument of violence by cursing the creation. The law curses the smallest imperfection. God had to take these extreme measure because man is lock up in a cycle of violence. So the Psalmist teaches that Gods general disposition is to be a defender. God is the defender because He controls the good and the evil. God is so holy that when He accuses men of the wrong man agrees. So Gods justice is defensive because He has not evil. The evil is in man.God is defensive because He controls the evil in order to protect His elect. So the rules are the way that man spreads the violence.

When we are pragmatic we make the mistake of making judgements based upon social skills. When we focus on the rules we miss the deeper problem of destructive motives in using the rules. God had to oppose the language of the curse by pronouncing the law, covenants, righteous curse, promises, decrees and statutes. In other worlds we cannot accept the worlds attempt to establish rules in order to organize the people. You cannot make a pregnant person with evil deliver a righteous baby. So the Psalmist is the righteous king who pronounces the supernatural control of Gods allowance and prevention in order to overturn the violent power. The Psalmist is speaking  the prophetic language as the defense lawyer of Israel in bringing charges against the rouge powers.  

The reason we do not understand pain and the level of its existence,with the nearness of its effecting us is because we are shielded from its reality by the blurring of the sharp contrast between sins effects and justification resulting in pragmatic pain.

Ps 58 The righteous will be glad when they are avenged when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked Then men will say"Surely the righteous still are rewarded;surely there is a God who judges the earth." Gods laws that cannot fail. God delivers us, we pronounce the axioms and experience deliverance. We save others. We live in a moral universe. Salvation is proving God right and punishing sinners. Salvation is not a suggestion. It is pronounced reality.

This unfailing love is the cause of our encouragement in this world.We relate to God as Father by a gift of love 2 love Him Our response with this love is not connected to what we feel about ourselves & others. Its a love that gives us an understanding of our purpose in the world

The dreamy power is sharing in the grace. All choices are within the divine withholding to produce the choice. Without Gods willing things into existence we are left to our own devices. We are so evil that we take the simple gospel and put it under our control.

All of salvation is necessarily in God. We just carry out through the ability that grace provides. There is no other object of worship that is equal or greater than God. Because there is no person in this world that can cause us to choose one way or the other.

Grace applied to me not only covers my personal receiving of gifts by my ability to respond to others with gifts. The question is what choice is worthy of grace? If anything is worthy of grace then it ceases to be grace.

He reacts to sinners as a consuming fire. Fire goes out from Him and consumes His foes on every side. That is an awful judgement that we do not understand. But if we are to accept this by faith then we are glorifying God in praising Him for His work.

In breaking one law we have failed to keep the whole law. Gods response to mans predicament is the ultimate disaster that we only see from a distance. However He justifies Himself is beyond our ability to satisfy our desire for justice. We can only be satisfied by the curse.

Self denial is not accomplished by human strength. God demands that we meet His standards of being able to atone for the common sin of men that is imputed to our account. Because eternal atonement requires that when we do one sin we are guilty of breaking the whole law.

You cannot possibly preach personal responsibility without the new gifts of pronouncing eternity into time. Its like saying we are gifted with all that Christ has obtained by we are only related as we describe them.

I would use the Psalms to bring myself into an original experience getting pleasure in trying to imagine how I could understand what it would be like if others were free to be successful in implementing their ideas. I experienced this freedom as I watched them be successful.

God did not create us to be intellectually distrusting of our thinking process. The most enjoyable gift from God is our mind. If we do not get our highest joy from thinking then we are not obeying God.

The Psalmist does not come to God because the doctrine of sin must be practiced. He comes to God with an honest description of his experience. God is not a Theologian in the sky. He is our Father who happens to be the judge. We are blessed.

After about 40 years of meditation over the same verses my quest for more knowledge was swallowed up by the inward experiences I had in the history of my meditation. I realized that I was being overcome by memories that freed me from being defined by what I accomplished.

God is the Governor over the earth. God gave man the responsibility to rule over His creation. As God created all things from nothing by the word of His mouth so man was given the creating authority  in using Gods word to bring unity and symmetry to Gods order  In gifting man with Gods desires He has united His purposes so that the more personal the desires are the closer we grow to experience our full salvation. In other words there is no further work to be done in us in order for us to align our desires with Gods desires.God is fully able to meet the desires of each man as distinct from all other men. And in honoring mans sovereignty which is in conflict with other men, He is fully able to reconcile these differences and establish the highest pleasure in uniting all these individual desiresThis is why after He made man, we could picture God as standing before His throne and raising the sword up to each shoulder as He ceremoniously honored man as a refection of His majesty by gifting him with these creative abilities.

Ps9 1I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. Psalmist praise is guided by Gods historical supernatural works. God in the past planned the end of things in the recreated events of Israel6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy,you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished."  The Psalmist is teaching the kingdom of God has already been established. The Psalmist claims the victory before he fights the battle. He pronounces the victory throughout the Psalms."when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall". Is the Psalmist confidence based upon yesterdays promises?  Does the bible teach that the old promises are good enough to strengthen our faith? Are we responsible for neglecting the daily word of God? Gods word is not a argument, suggestion or an expression of hope. God is pronouncing the prophecy into reality. The Psalmist is fully responsible because he speaks the word of prophecy as God purposed.  law-"he has established his throne for judgment. 8He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice. covenant-10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD , have never forsaken those who seek you. 18 But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.   curses-15The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.17 The wicked return to the grave, 20Strike them with terror, O LORD ;
let the nations know they are but men. Selah God rules over all nations by His prophetic word. The Psalmist pronounces the end of all time in order to bring the future into the present. God must renew all things until the judgement.

What do we experience to put our sorrows in perspective? Do we have some earthly comfort? The joy of the Holy Spirit is like dew that settles on the trees in the morning. There is no greater fellowship of the Spirit than to be enraptured by a sense of eternal bliss.

  We are trying to obtain a sweet illumination by force. When we speak the Psalms and muse we are desperate to hear from God. Its just as natural as someone talking to us in a conversation. It is in the deepest recesses of our mind.

When we lose sight that we have, by a legal transaction, been declared righteous by imputation and by this alone we found holy & blameless in the sight of a just God, then we are back to putting our focus on ourselves and our behavior & well on the way to losing the battle again

The word is ingested and implanted as the source of all of the attributes that are part of life.It is Gods flow of life. These experiences work to unite us to of Christ.

Ps 16 10Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.Ps 138 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD , endures forever- do not abandon the works of your hands.

Since the world is abusive we need the axioms for self preservation. God preserves us and we are able to endure to the end. The opposition is being re-imaged by the world. We are able to recreate our image through the axioms. We face a world that devalues Gods image of us. We cannot change the view of the culture. We must pronounce the prevention and allowance. The Psalmist is describing God preservation of us as a breath of new life. There is no person who is sinful and corrupted who can value the person according to the image that God has of that person. Anytime we devalue Gods image we lower the image and that is abuse. This is why we are always facing opposition when we are in need. We pronounce the axioms as our self preservation. We are preserved when we rise up the line of blessing and cursing. That is the pure reality of our true image. We push the false image away by cursing the curse and we walk in blessing.

Our lives are reordered according to Gods law. God loves us by turning the law away from us in our defense. We pronounce our perfect preservation. God overcomes our opposition through the curse of the law. The Psalms of assent teach us that we can rise up in pronouncements as we oppose spiritual forces. God decrees ongoing deliverance.  We speak the decrees and we look for the word of deliverance. God promises to perform His works on our behalf in proving that He is a covenant keeping God.These pronouncements create the pillars of Gods statutes in our lives. We must push the curse under our feet. Christ was never under the curse of the law. He was persevered in speaking the axioms.     

Ps 16 7 I will praise the LORD , who counsels me;  even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand,  I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,

My heart instructs me. His thoughts check and guide him like the reins of a horse, The right hand is the control that he pronounces in the law,covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees.We pronounce Christ eternal pronouncements. The mind with the knowledge of the pronouncements controls the tongue which affects the health of the body,.

Ps 62 11One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
 11 and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done.

God has created everything with a value price. The result of sin and corruption is destroying Gods value of all things. In this since there is no sinner who values the creation according to Gods value. 10Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.The curse of man is the devaluing of Gods creation. God had to curse the cures in order to restore true value by renewal. So God has renewed all of our works. He has restored the true value. This is why we will not experience the consequences of our sinful corruption and weakness. We will be rewarded according to Christ work of restoring the true value of all things. We can be confident even tho our work does not rise up to the standard of Gods value that He has destroyed the opposition so that our work can be valued again. 

 Ps25:15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.

The Psalmist teaches that reasons we are tempted to stray from the path that God has for us is because we focus on the wrong things. When we turn our eyes away from the Lord we start to think of ways that we can respond to the opposition. As the Psalmist speaks to law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees, he puts all of the circumstances in his life through the axioms. He has taught himself to role all of his troubles over to the Lord. " Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow"God is the only one who knows what is bothering us because He looks on our inward condition. "But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love" God is much better at handling our problems. When we face trials we must be completely delivered. We cannot trust in our efforts. "For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes."After he rolls the problems over  to God , the Psalmist fixes his eyes on the victory. The Psalmist sets his heart on complete deliverance. He turns his eyes away any confidence in other sources. "I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God."

When the Psalmist rolls all of the problem over to the Lord through speaking the axioms, he receives illumination."My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me;" We are able to focus on the people who are faithful. We are able to avoid the traps that are set before us. 105 5"Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure."  When we pronounce the axioms we learn to kill the desire to trust in harmful speech. my eyes are not haughty;  God never destroys us in order to heal us. His work in our trials always strengthens us. God brings us through trials in order to deliver us." my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters" Gods path in the trial is always pushing the curse under our feet by taking the weight off of our shoulders.  When we have been completely delivered we will hear the defeat of our opposition." For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes. For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling",
  
 

 Having faith is trusting Him for what He has accomplished on our behalf in order to make us bold . No one is perfect at any time. Our boldness is mixed with fear, anger, or hardness.. But through  Christ we have boldness to enter into His presence. When we experience His boldness we can overcome the struggle with our lack of faith. 

Love is the fulfilling of the law. If God was not completely just then He would not be loving. This is why when we face injustice we react with anger.  God created us for the purposes of bringing Him glory. If we are treated lesser than what is demanded to reflect that glory then the law would not be fulfilled by love. You see when sin entered the world the fulfilling of the law was silenced. We were never made to live in a world that did not rise up to the standard of the fulfilling of the law.  So the standard of the fulfilling of the law was the freedom to get what we wanted because we were able to fulfill the law. The more success that we enjoyed the more we enforced the value and success of our neighbor.

Sin not only erased the freedom of love but it retarded our ability to advance the best interest of our neighbor. So God knows that we must be loved on a standard to satisfy His original purpose for us to fulfill His law that is impossible in this corrupted world. We live in a devalued system of abuse. We cannot depend upon emotional love that does not fulfill the law. We must understand that God has reestablished our connection to love that fulfills the law by giving us the axioms. We need help accepting a love that is corrupted. We were created to express love without the presence of lawlessness. So our natural demands to be loved can never be satisfied by anything that is corrupted. God had to love us by cursing the corruption and renewing all things. God had to give us eternal powers of communication in the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees in order to love us by fulfilling the law in reestablishing our original creative powers. Gods love is not like anything in this world Gods love is always the action that He performs on our behalf. We will never be satisfied with an emotional God.    

 Ps 5 7 But I, by your great mercy,
will come into your house;
in reverence will I bow down
toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD , in your righteousness
because of my enemies-
make straight your way before me.

Is the Psalmist asking God to zap him with mystical ability to walk the straight path? No because sin brought death. Death is not a mystical power that destroys. It is the work of Gods law in judgement upon creation. Sin and corruption are the redefinition of Gods law. This is why the condemnation of the sinner is always described by the words that he speaks. 9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall."
Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. The Psalmist is opposing the kingdom of darkness in cursing the wicked because of their inability to speak Gods thoughts after Him.
In order for the Psalmist to overcome the opposition of sin and corruption it must be according to the law, covenants , curses, statutes, promises and decrees. This is" making straight"the path of righteousness.The path of the curse is always redefining Gods law as opposed to the path of the righteous who pronounce the axioms. "with their tongue they speak deceit" 10 Declare them guilty, O God!" 

 Ps 4 5Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD
Heb 13 15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that confess his name. Hosea 4 2Take words with you and return to the LORD . Say to him:
"Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips.4"I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them. Is 57 18I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him,
creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel. Peace, peace, to those far and near,"
says the LORD . "And I will heal them." But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud. "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."


The fruit of the lips is through Christ the anger has been turned away from the righteous. Christ fulfilled the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees and promises.His anger is directed toward the wicked.The Psalms are the fruit of our lips. 

Ps 8 2From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise 
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
Why would God appoint the most vulnerable to danger as the most powerful in opposing Satan? Because God will not allow us to oppose violence with violence. When man sinned he introduced violence into the world by redefining Gods law. The relationship between women and children is the most non violent. By nature God has made it almost impossible for a women to abuse her baby. When God gave man the axioms , He the pronouncement of death as the a sword against the schemes of the Devil. So God has given us supernatural pronouncements in order to relate to us like a mother.

Wicked men naturally curse themselves by treating the most valuable and loving relationship with contempt. Without the axioms we are in bondage to using the law as a weapon in becoming our own god. In a cursed world the rewards for aggressive and destructive control in order to become powerful is so great that God needed to curse the smallest sin. Man is unable to control his thirst for success. We must be given the ability to value the vulnerable relationship more than the lustful attempts to be successful. We must be able to kill the corruption in order to rest in Gods motherly care. When we seek power without the pronouncements it is very dangerous. Power is like a two edged knife. Our natural desire for power is like cutting our hand on the edge of the knife. We must oppose the violence expressed in redefining Gods law with pronouncing the axioms. When we begin to honor the relationship between women and children then we will learn to rest in Gods refuge. The axioms will prevent us from the dreadful control of our natural desires.   

Ps 28 1To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me.
  For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit. 4 Do not drag me away with the wicked,with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts. 4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work;
  repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve. 
The question is why is the Psalmist upset? Because he feels condemned and guilty. Our problems with the feeling that God hides His face from us is not caused by the condition of our hearts. Salvation brings blessing. But we live in a cursed world. We live in a world that enforces the conditions of the curse that we are repelled by. We face the leaven of destruction that remains in this cursed world. If God decided to save all men then we would have great success in the culture of blessing. But the destructive danger that we face comes from the cursed culture. He is cursing the culture in order to renew His trust that God is near. Every time he is upset, and feels condemned , he prays this curse. In other words kill the corruption so that I can enjoy your presence. 

Our view of life is determined by Him. We cannot trust in our own way. We not only know Him as an example, but as our all in all. He determines the beginning of our lives and the end of our lives.Our reality of our lives begins the moment we know Him. There is no other reality

Dwelling in His eternal power, is having a sense of His presence. We know a friend is trust wothy because he speaks on our behalf. But Christ is an eternal friend who overwhelms us with His goodness. All we need is a taste of that goodness and our hope is restored.

Christ is here, in the Spirit, having fellowship with the saints , for the purpose of bringing Him glory through us. He decides to use us as we are living before Him.Because we love dwelling with Him we are going to have a different view of our struggles. Grace is more than a hope, it is the reality of experiencing His power.  We are raised up in our minds , being pulled away from this earth    We meet Him, face to face , and we sit with Him, feeling His overwhelming powerful love.

Ps 63 2I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands

The Psalmist is describing the spiritual experience as a result of speaking the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees and promises. The axioms transcend the physical barriers of worship. This is why he teaches that the axioms bring him pleasure that transcend his human desires. You love is better than life. When we speak the axioms we are going beyond our understanding. The apostle says that we are seeking something that we cannot understand in order to once again seek something that we do not understand. 

Ps 40 14 May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion;
  may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
 15 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.


The Psalmist teaches that sin is a universal condition. All men are born and practice sin. Every person sins because he gives into temptation. Sin brings guilt and shame. Just as sin is in the culture so too are guilt and shame. This cycle is ingrained in the culture because all men practice sin. The problem of sin goes beyond personal guilt.

Because God implanted His law in man, man applies the law in order to justify his actions. Man was created to rule the world by applying the law in order to bring glory to God. But when sin entered, he began to use the law to become his own god. Not only do they use the law as a destructive means to rise in power but they use sin and guilt to keep people under their power. When a nation is turned upside down they face the stigma of an uncontrollable law that keeps them in bondage to wicked rulers. This is why the Psalmist curses his enemies.

God gave the curses because sin and guilt are abusive. The Psalmist is concerned about an indifferent attitude toward the abuse of the law. All sinners lower the standard of the law. The shame of the law is the means by which sinners bring others under their power. If we had not means to oppose the indifference to lowing the standard of the law then we would become hardened toward the abuse. God has spoken the curses of death in order to keep us sensitive to the abuse of lawless men.

 Ps 32 5Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD "- and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
The Psalmist always starts by describing his struggles in order to show that God can be trusted in all of life. The question is if God cannot transform our struggles with sin can we trust him with the small things? In order for God to be trusted, He must be able to release the Psalmist from the tension of guilt , fear, shame and sorrow. When he comes to God with his sin, he experiences acceptance and hope. He is saying that God is good because He simply forgives our sins when we bring them to Him. Even when we do not realize that the sin was burdening us and we finally understood that God is always ready to take the sin,we are motivated to come to Him because He the counselor who meets our needs.32 I will counsel you and watch over you.

God knows us more than we know ourselves. God knows that our sin is a burden. God is not surprised when we unburden our sins to Him.  When we trust God to counsel us we understand that He is more ready to forgive us that we are to give Him our sin. The point of this Psalm is to extol the Lords availability to unburden us."but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him".The last person that will condemn us for our sin is our great Counselor. Even if we struggle with sin and continue to speak the law, covenants,statutes, curses, decrees and promises, the only reason that we are not burdened beyond our ability to carry sin is because God is preventing us from falling. He writes the entire Psalm to show that God cannot fail even when we do. " surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. 7You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
 

Jd4For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you." (written about long ago)God planned all of time in His eternal counsel. All things are ordered by His law, covenants curses, statutes, promises and decrees. His law curses the wicked."  They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord."

godless-asebeia = impiety, absence of "the fear of God", having no reverence for sacred things; irreligious. change-lit a burial. Gal 2 4This  matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. Replacing salvation by grace with salvation through works. Gospel grace kills the opposition. Redefining Gods law is cursing the righteous.   curse is described in the Psalms as the unlawful use of the law.Deliverance is cursing the curse. Jude cursing the wicked who curse God. the wicked- pash'a, revolt, rebellion.  Sin against lawful authority. ra'a', wicked, injurious.  From its root, which indicates its nature as breaking up all that is good or desirable; injurious to all others. 'aven, iniquity, specially connected with idolatry.rasha', wickedness, in the sense of the restless activity of fallen nature.'avah, perverseness, from the root to be bent, or crooked.  As opposed to the Gods elect who are  chat'a, to sin; to miss the mark (as in Judg. 20:16).  Also of the feet, to stumble and fall (Prov. 19:2).  Hence, morally, a coming short, blameworthiness, pash'a, revolt, rebellion. Sin against lawful authority.'aven, iniquity, specially connected with idolatry.  Used because an idol is nothing and vanity. David the king confessed pash'a sin of rebellion against lawful authority. NT gives commands to the leaders and commands to the people. Jude is cursing the lawless use the law ..has nothing to do with titles. Jude curses the religious leaders.  "certain men" ".even the archangel Michael"- who is an authority like "these men speak abusively"shepherds who feed only themselves"

God has always been very direct with me when He wanted me to move. You see it would have killed me if I did not move when God made it clear. To tell you the truth when I think back about the times in Miami and Central Florida, the only real experiences I remember was driving through the area and meditating on Gods word. I used to design my life centering it on enough time to travel through the area and meditate until I was so full that my eyes were popping out of my head and I was filled with so much energy that I was driven in my task. After 20 years I became very professional in controlling the energy and using it for living.

When I moved from Miami, I was searching for an area in Central Florida for a good church. We had some friends from my church in miami who wanted us to go  to Sprouls church. But it would have killed me to move in that area. I dont remember meeting RC in person but his ministry was so big that his presence was felt from the west-coast  to the east coast. Through video and men that were encouraged by Sproul he was a real presence in my life. But God moved us to an area that was united to our gifts and eventually our family had great success as God developed our ministry. It was a perfect fit. But I still find all of my joy in those meditations in my travels.All of the social interaction was the icing on the cake.  

   Ps 18 27You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
  28You, O LORD , keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29With your help I can advance against a troop 
with my God I can scale a wall.

 Anytime the Psalmist mentions the attitudes like joy, praise, sorrow, and humility it is always holistic according to the law, covenants, curses, statutes , promises and decrees. In being humble we must the axioms so that we can understand self denial. Humility is not avoiding the truth of the bible in order to get along. All of these christian evidences of humility like turning our eyes off of self, thinking of others better than ourselves, understanding that we are the worse sinner and defending the most vulnerable is only accomplished through renewal. We must distinguish between destroying our gifts and hating hating in the context of renewal. The Psalmist is teaching that as he fights and wins the wars, he is displaying humility, by being faithful, blameless and pure in Gods work to destroy the corruption of these attitudes. God enables the Psalmist to destroy all of his enemies because God did the work in destroying the corruption in the attitudes giving the Psalmist the power to overcome the opposition of the nations. . 24The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight."my righteousness" -The Psalmist actions of fighting the war and winning. Then he says  25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless  26to the pure you show yourself pure,-God must destroy all the corruption in order for the Psalmist to be successful in war. The Psalmist wins the war because God renews his corrupted motives that generate the power when he fights.So humility is exercising power under control  Self denial is cursing the curse or pushing the destruction under our feet by controlled power. God controls the our power by His destroying grace.

 Ive been thinking about this lately. I mean where would the world be without having an imaginative view of what it could be. And then we can go there in relationships in order to become like we imagine. So that there in our natural senses a paradigm of enjoyment by how we use our imaginations in order to bring about change in our lives. But then there is a limit since we could enjoy imagination so much that we are addicted to it. So that we live on the sheer lust and happiness of being under the spell of this paradigm drug. But then grace is much more powerful in its imaginative translation into reality. (Observation from my view point)

 Since grace is what makes all things work to our good. I guess that when my imagination gets the best of me, then i have no fear in the sense that grace comes to the rescue. Because if we imagine the best situation ,where we could able in some ways to translate that into reality , yet there would be no way to measure the pain that would be experienced with having an unlimited imagination.And yet grace is far greater and determinatively quicker working than even the imagined pain in the translation into joy of an unlimited imagination.

Every one has an imagination, and yet grace transcends societies imaginations in how relationships should exist. So that i know that the enjoyment of my inward paradigm of grace will work to my benefit since grace is more powerful than the imaginations of all men put together, and i possess that grace.

 In other words  in the personal generated  unseen forces of grace and the sheer magnitude of its working ,is the reality outside and beyond the idea in my imagination and in spite of my imagination that works for my benefit and for His glory.

 There is a sense in which it is like chopping down a tree. There is this big 3 foot wide oak and you are beginning to hit the outer surface. Then you get tired and you come back to it with more determination and more perseverance.But the more you hit that to toward the center the harder it gets to chip. And then you grow weary of hitting that hard wood. You determine that this time its going  to fall. This time your going to see it fall with that last blow. But it doesnt , every thing is silent. Thats the way God works. We pray and we pray, we meditate and we get a certain assurance. But the assurance is not very strong , so we pray in the Holy Spirit and we pray in the word. We feel stronger after the initial perseverance. But then we grow weary again. God seems to be silent. Yes we get a number of assurances that He is listening  and we can feel the tree starting to crack but there is not enough there. So we go months, sometimes yrs, i mean really crying out. We cry, we groan, we complain, we question. But still there is no answer. We are worn out trying to find that answer. We go to praying again and again. Even tho there is a certain assurance still it is not the word that is spoken that we are so wanting to hear. Oh how we persevere. We begin to understand that pray is the absolute hardest persevering means we have in this life. And then all of a sudden there is the boom, there is the word, it is Gods time, all along it was there for us, all along there was God who was planning to answer. And oh, how we see this power of God to create a miracle that was beyond our own to ability produce. So that we are rewarded for months and maybe yrs of knocking. This is what we learn to do as a way of life. There are these things that God rewards that are extra ordinary. If we determine to seek God in an extra ordinary way, then God will show Himself extra ordinary to us. So we want more , and we seek Him with more in tenseness.   

God is not detailed like us.He is detailed in meeting our relational needs. The cry of the Psalmist is mixed- his human frustration and speaking the axioms.God meets our needs by the steady increase of spiritual gifts. We experience unity with circumstances in knowing ourselves

God created us to be in control of the world. When Adam sinned He still knew us according to the details of our lives. He died in order to renew all of the details of our lives. Our confidence in Him is based upon doing the work all by Himself. We depend upon His particular will

If God created Pharaoh without limits. His will would be without limits.Therefore Pharaohs will would be immutable like Gods But all creation has limits, finite shape. mutable will. All things are to Him, through Him, in Him and by Him.He is the sovereign over creation

Why did God do it this way? So that He might get glory through Pharaohs disobedience! Because God has the right to determine who will be made a worthy piece of pottery.

Therefore God determines resistant by the qualities that He decides are going to enable them to exist with attractive things and their potential in that existent relationship. God decrees whatsoever comes to pass since God cannot be less than God at any time or in any place

Through teaching a man follows Christ as sheep follow a Shepherd. We are incapable of doing one good thing on our own. We think correctly by thinking thoughts after Christ. Every time we think on our own we develop false teaching. When we do not think correctly we act wrongly

Ps 135 14or the LORD will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants."
30  For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The Psalmist is teaching that God created life in establishing the creation covenant. But the wicked spread death through the worship of idols. God gave us the curses in order to oppose the spread of death. 8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals. When man worships dead idols he is cursed with death. 8Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. Man makes dead idols because he is cursed. He is blind to the living things of life. The Psalmist teaches that all men walk in darkness until God they experience the birth of Gods breath.

The author if Hebrews is teaching if they return to the ceremonial laws they will cursed. Those who redefine Gods law create idols. The returns for worshiping dead idols is death. God does not take out His anger with violence but He avenges by letting man remain in spiritual state of death. Although the OT church was under the ceremonial laws, yet salvation has always been by faith through Christ.  The ceremonial laws could be compared to the rules of our culture. We learn to follow the rules even tho we do not put them on the same level as the ten commandments and our salvation. The Psalmist never describes the life of God in the Psalms by including the daily rules of the ceremony. The law,covenants,curses, statutes, promises and decrees have always been the eternal language of salvation. The ot church had the same means to understand salvation as we do. The difference is that Christ made the axioms universal.He established them with greater authority. They were focused on an earthly inheritance even tho they had an eternal covenant. When Christ ascended to heaven ,He actually took possession of all things. So the nt covenant has greater authority. It is a dreadful thing to remain in darkness and be thrown in hell.
