 PS 94 1 " O LORD, the God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth."When man sinned, he promptly throws the whole earth into the continuous process of dreadful death. Everything was cursed by God. The desperate hope for completed restoration was reluctantly abandoned.But when God reestablishes His mighty kingdom, we are brought back to that radical vision of restoration. This beatific vision defines both understandable and mysterious desires. Because the created earth is plunged desperately into violent rebellion and pervasive corruption everyone is guilty of naturally producing destruction and death.   

The exclusive power that is preventing man from destroying himself and the earth is God's effective power. The sole way that God can sufficiently restore the original freedom and moral goodness is through judicial punishment. The Psalmist is saying only God comprehends the way to restore the utmost freedom because God is the judge. No man seeks judgment without first desiring it. God is graciously allowing the man what he naturally desires. He is not responsible for their personal judgement nor is His, saints. We are worthy of a suitable reward because we earnestly want deliverance at the reasonable expense of divine justice. The quickest way to satisfactorily resolve this social problem is for God to generously provide us with what we sincerely desire. For Him to justly give the wicked what they naturally desire. That's when all things are unified.

 2 " Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve,"The Psalmist is justly saying that the sooner the Lord takes vengeance the fewer innocent people will be sorely hurt. The proud befall those people who do not enjoy God in their thoughts, live as if God does not exist. In the Psalms, a person who does not acknowledge God is spreading a destructive disease or the nervous dread of the curse.
3" How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked be jubilant?"What inevitably happens when the wicked are happy? They are being used by powerful men to establish a terrible curse. This heathen world has a political power structure in which men become gods as they establish their own authority and accumulate many personal followers.

 4" They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting."God has established His authority by His words. To speak in a way to overturn His word, or to redefine His word is the same thing as seizing a kingdom by violence. "Boasting" is clearly establishing authority by abusing someone else. 5 "They crush your people, O LORD; they oppress your inheritance."They torture Gods people...137 2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" They make war with Israel and import them into captivity. They ruthlessly sacrifice the helpless babies of Israel on the altar.8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us-- 9 he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

   6 "They slay the widow and the alien; they murder the fatherless. " God has established His law to defend the helpless and the powerless from being abused. When men unanimously overturn God's law, they obtain power by destroying the powerless.
7 They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed." When the wicked rule they spread hopelessness. This is the agitated voice of the wicked curse in the wounded hearts of Gods concerned people. 22 8 "He trusts in the LORD; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him." This is the wicked curse of faithlessness.  

  9 "Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile." But because God is the creator then He controls the outcome. So God has established His way through pronouncing a curse on those who spread the wicked curse of faithlessness. The Lord knows or He creates futility through giving the wicked what they are thinking. We wish the full effect of the curse of the law because it is the only method by which power is transferred.
12" Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD, the man you teach from your law;
13 you grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it."Man in a collective sense. God disciplines Israel by punishing the waywardness of the wicked but using that punishment to double the blessing of His saints. He is saying God has made the kingdom flourish in His people by giving them all they need in salvation. They naturally follow His success." will follow it." The basis of this new kingdom relationship is God's faithfulness in His covenants. "he will never forsake his inheritance." In other words to be consistent. God disciplines the whole nation to bless the saints. 13" you grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked."

A lot of people teach that God will hide His face from us when we sin. But these complaints in the Psalms about Gods anger or His rejection are not talking about the context of salvation in a relationship but salvation in the absolute terms. Salvation is physical deliverance from the deadly wound in war. Gods wrath is according to His justice. God cannot hate His own work that His Son accomplished. It would be like cursing Himself.
A lot of people play fast and loose with this language. But these Psalms are written to pronounce and not as a class room study. They are written with forms of speech and in a language of absolute context. They are written as hate speech that is on the lips of Gods people toward the destruction that is practiced by the wicked. The general attitude of the Psalmist is an absolute hatred expressed by God in cursing. So if the anger was directed toward Gods covenant people the prosecuting identity would be of no value.
This is why there is no such thing as two line. The curse leads to destruction and the blessing leads to eternal life. One line is going in the opposite direction of the other line. To love God is to oppose Gods opposition absolutely. To love ones neighbor it to express the full anger of God toward his destruction. Love and hate used as positive redeeming attitudes. Only two line teaches that hate is good in bringing righteousness.
When the Psalmist complains about a problem it is in the absolute words. There are no pragmatic expressions in the Psalms.27 9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior". The Psalmist is speaking as a prosecutor and enforcing the curse by alluding to the death that he sees in the battle field ...this is an expression like if" I forget Jerusalem may my right hand forget its skill." This statement is making it doubly trusting of Gods faithfulness on His side of the covenant. The same thing here ..saying that he is experiencing the pain of the curse like all of the enemy lying on the ground ..dead.

 

Ps 7 9 O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.
10 My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day.
12 If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment.
The law of the curse is like a war between the Lord and the wicked. The Law given to Moses had in each one a proclamation of death to law breakers. When the Psalms speak about Gods fight with those who oppose Him it is in the context of adding weight until the person is crush under the weight of the curse. When the curses are pronounced we are fighting with spiritual weapons. 7 16 "The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head. 17 13 Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword. 5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again"
This is why we are taught that our fight with earthly weapons are of no consequence to this eternal struggle with evil. We may have the responsibility to protect our home but this is an earthly attempt that is constrained by the moment in time 44 1" We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.
2 With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish.3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them..But this struggle through pronouncing the curses has been going on since the beginning of creation."20 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. Because we fail to fight with spiritual weapons we are of no value in overcoming evil. Because we trust in temporary fixes we never overcome the evil.Gen 4 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
One generation teaches the next generation the works of the Lord. The works of the Lord rise and fall according to the pronouncement of the curses and the blessings. Through the decree.....44 4 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.5 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Through Gods name is simply the use of Gods law as an instrument of war. This is what the apostle teaches us about sanctification. We sanctify the culture by His word. The arm of the flesh is to trust in own horses. The working of the word is a trust in Gods decrees alone. This rising and falling through pronouncing the curses is a work that is done on the heart of Gods elect to wrestle with evil until it is subdued. The confession is.... I do not trust... you put weight on the adversary....44 6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
The curse is like moving closer to danger and resisting it by pushing it away. The inward battle is always our destroying any opposition through the pronouncement of death while we appear to be as harmless as doves. We are most free when everything that we go through becomes unified in life and death. When we experience the line between blessing and cursing. This is our secret protest that cannot be overcome.
"We need to silence this view that Gods response to evil is a way of controlling it. God views every evil and has determined where it is performed and who does the act from before the creation of the world. When we are convinced that evil is in Gods hands we are free from tension. How does God look at evil?
He looks at evil with perfect judgement. There is no time where God treats evil in a struggle of two wills. God has taken care of evil before it is committed. Even tho we live under the constraints of time ...God determines all reality as if we were before Him in the judgement. There is nothing that opposes God whose power of will or the level of disgust in the act that is not made powerless by Gods curse. God never loses power or respect at any time in the whole history of the earth.
Why do we react as if there was a will that was in competition with God? Why do we feel the tension between good and evil? If there is grace on the earth then it has taken care of evil. Where grace exist evil is dead. The power of evil is the same thing as a small spark being consumed by an ato mic bom. The presence of grace is the reality of Gods absolute rule as if we were all present in the future eternal kingdom without any opposition. Grace tears down any opposition to Gods will. The reason that we struggle with tension is because we are corrupted in every part and we are touched with the curse of pragmatism. " Me

 

Ps 17 15 And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness". When we are saved we are declared righteous. Our old will is not made new...but that will is destroyed...God replaces our old will with a new will...this is called being implanted with the seed of the word of God...When we are implanted with this seed we understand all the words of God ...we may be very small in our understanding but because we understand one word we understand the spirit of all the words. Now listen..as the Apostle says that because we are saved there is no attempt to thwart our growing in Christ that can overcome us.
The Psalmist is saying that because the Psalmist is declared righteous he now enjoys a face to face relationship with God. A new birth voice that is reflective.17 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek." Without this new relationship we could never receive anything from God without our adding to it. Everything that we receive is gifted to us. This new face to face relationship is bathed in covenant language. In other words face to face means that we are in a relationship with our Father as if Christ was coming to Him. When we are saved we get a whole new image. This is the image of Christ. It has already been given to us in its fullness. This image becomes clearer as we reach our final destination which is His eternal kingdom. But we already understand it because we cannot be made unbalanced since we accept that the word of God unifies all of Gods reality.
When we are saved we go from the strongest opposition which is inside of us to fighting with outside opposition. It is incorrect for us to cures ourselves by saying that we have an equal war between good and evil that we fight on the inside. Rather we are taught that the voices that oppose God are outside of us. 4 6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD". We are taught that the evil that we face is like noise to our ears. As society gets more and more evil we are confronted by noise that gets louder and louder. This is how we face opposition. Because we believe that the power of the curse is no longer speaking from the inner man. But its coming from the wicked...It is expressed by the Psalmist as a threat that we hear that argues against our face to face relationship with God. 10 11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees." This faithless expression that is meant to develop a distrust for God is" He trust in God let God rescue him" This is the most Satanic voice to convince us that we are not face to face with God.
But we enjoy the face of God which shines the glory of Christ. This glory is not goose bumps from hearing that God loves us but its the promise that we have an absolute and final defense that dwells in us ..its the pronouncement of death which is our ability to fight a spiritual war as if we were in a physical war...we have been gifted with covenant words that give us full protection. This protection is described in the way that God overcame Israels enemies by the light from His eyes. 4 6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD". Gods face shines upon us so that we live in the reality that everything that opposes us will die and everything that is for us will promote our eternal life. We overcome through this perfect face to face relationship that is gifted to us by the work of Christ. Me

 

Our provision is unlimited and our failure is taken care of because we are fully accepted in Christ.
Ps 129 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going now and forever more.
The Lord created all things. He is the creator and sustain-er of all creation. When God delivered Israel from Egypt, He led Israel through the desert to the promise land by a cloud. The cloud was a display of Gods control over the creation. At all times Gods is ordering the movements of all the created things. In this way God is working with His hands as He creates and recreates. In Acts the Apostle said that we live and move and have our being in God Not only does God work with the things of creation but He holds us together.
So we only exist because God is always sustaining and healing us. The Psalmist is saying that God gave them a visible display of His power and order when He led them by the cloud. He protected them from the harmful heat of the desert sun and was even watching over them in the cloud by blocking out the light from the moon while they slept.
This is a picture of the incarnation of Christ who became a man and obeyed the Father perfectly. Just as God led Israel to the promise land over very dangerous territory so Christ has made us completely acceptable to the Father by acting perfectly and atoning for our sin. All the work that we do in this life is only acceptable to the Father because Christ went our before us and accomplished the Fathers will.Our provision is unlimited and our failure is taken care of because we are fully accepted in Christ.

 The history of the world comprises a comprehensive history of Redemption. God has accurately established an everlasting covenant with a man justifiably called the grace covenant. He established Israel by naturally gifting them with His moral law and continuous acceptance by sovereign grace. Before the foundation of the world, God planned to amply provide mankind with all that they needed. When sin entered man received the generous gifts of God and employed them to intentionally destroy the earth and all mankind. But God even decreed the sin and the destruction of man. All of the histories of mankind were decreed by God. God manages all things. When He graciously provided salvation, He satisfactorily accomplished the work within Himself. No part of the comprehensive history of the world is without God's satisfied justice. Before the foundation of the world, God decreed whatsoever comes passing under the judgment of His absolute justice. So sin or essential righteousness must receive the appropriate consequence as an essential part of decreeing whatsoever comes to pass. The declaratory judgment of all sin was already decreed before the foundation of the world. God's offensive attitude toward sin has always been sealed in His eternal wrath.

 God's eternal judgment from before the historical foundation of the world is written as authoritative pronouncements of the curses. Everything that God has declared is wholly successful because it is sufficiently satisfied with Himself. This is what the Psalmist means by appealing to God for effective relief graciously according to His Name. 9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name;"God's eternal covenant of grace given to the saints is ostensibly based upon His own work and will. The history of redemption is God's valuable work as a gift to His Son who has to appropriately place all things under His feet. God's contemptuous attitude toward sin and destruction or righteousness is like a scale of the considerable value of Christ's work on one side and the judgment of sin on the other side. At all times God sufficiently marks all destruction and evil that adds up to the considerable weight of accurate judgment that He meets out toward the wicked. Nothing happens in this world that is beyond God's adding and subtracting.

 At all times Gods curses are judgements that He official accounts to the wicked that are beyond our comprehensive understanding. Gods justice is His ultimate satisfaction of receiving the appropriate consequence of sin and extensive destruction according to the eternal value of Christ active obedience and control. Man maintains his system of arbitrary justice but Gods vengeful response is far worse. When we speak the dreadful curses, they are Gods perfect justice and fearful vengeance according to Gods eternal judgement that is enacted on the reasonable basis of eternal decrees. At every moment God is amply satisfied with the fierce curse as the legitimate consequence of sin and destruction. He was satisfied in His eternal counsel according to the continuous history of His decrees. The pronouncements are calling from eternity past to eternity future of Gods final judgement and divine vengeance. This is critically important because it invariably changes our future bliss in heaven. We will be therefore accepted and valued that we will be stunned at the aggravated abuse that we ill endured on the earth.

 Father, we heartily thank you that You are God the Highest. There is none like you. We candidly confess you are Lord and God. And because you have favorably considered us as your humble servants, we consider you with a consuming desire for your chief glory. But we look at the sins keenly aware of the guilt and genuine sorrow of this hectic life. Father, you know we are troubled by our sins. We thank you have satisfactorily established a way to approach You transparently. When we are genuinely troubled, you generously provide us earnest hope and we seek the brilliant reflection of your glory. When we are fearful, you design our authentic ways. When we are fatigued, you empower us with the strength to conquer mountains. When we are threatened, you insulate us on the terrible day of trouble and train our hands for contentious battle. We thank your Father who works in the precarious lives of notorious sinners.

 Father inadequately dealing with our erring brothers we are most in burning need. For you have assigned our fellowship with one another as equals. And in mutually recognizing the greatness of your maternal love we undoubtedly discover that communication in glorious unity. For you communicate yourself to identify with one another in Your secret counsel. For if we were unexposed to your communication night, and day things would be unrevealed in spiritual unity. Your life flows through the body of Christ. We serve a God who instantly comprehends all things. A God who conceives a billion thoughts in every particle in unity upholding the harmonious universe. Consequently, we feel incompetent to vicariously experience this unity in faithfully upholding your united family.

 But if we seek, we are going to recover you. When we find you we long for you. And in longing for us, you gather us. And in finding us we become a recipient of your secret counsel in the night watches. Father, we try and inevitably fail but you empower us to recollect all unique things. This is your way of uniquely identifying with the emotional struggles in each other's lives. For we would all be blind if you did not counsel us by your fitful illumination. Nothing of a redeeming value would comfortably be our future hope if you did not hold fast to your eternal love.

 Father, return us to yourself so that we would know how to dwell in your house. We would be capable to see beyond the vision of this world. Hold our brothers together that we would know how to unlock our insecure troubles by your counsel. Provide us sweet illuminations enabling us to deal with the most dreadful spirits. For our wrestling is more than a concern but to carry the burden pronouncing recreation. It is to present everyone in your presence and revive the unity of pleasant spiritual experiences. Father, your body is the organism.You breathe life and we are recovered. You bestow unlimited gifts and we are united. Father breathe Your Spirit upon us so that we will experience your pleasure. For we suffer the burden of this world that divides us. Gather us together from the depths of our souls.

 Our Father in heaven we genuinely know you are a God who saves. You authoritatively speak creative salvation. We hold on for the next morning when you announce the good news. Because we have justly made our request morning by morning, our confident expectation has turned into an irresistible longing for you to faithfully fulfill your promise of salvation. Oh Father there are impossible things that need to be set straight in our personal lives and there is nowhere else to turn but to you. For you revived us with eternal love and truth in order that we might identify the pleasant path that we should walk.

 Father, if we were not encouraged in the night watches we reduced to burning tears at the overwhelming sorrows of this criminal world. But you have arranged us cheerful songs in the night to gently encourage us with greater boldness. We recover all of our comfort in our waiting in expectation. Our souls are poured out before your mighty throne since there is nowhere else to go. There is no other place we feel adequately fulfilled in calling out to you night and day. We will effusively praise you as long as we live.

 Our Father whose love graciously extends from one end of the earth to the other. You have demonstrated your righteousness by your love. We dutifully attend to you as we are awed by the majestic mountains. For your eternal righteousness is like the mighty mountain we long for you to unite our lives. Oh, Father revive us in our sacred worship so that we will heartily rejoice without nervous dread or acute sorrow. We long for the honorable courts of the Lord more than the short-lived pleasures of this miserable world.

 Oh God, our lives are exposed before you. We are aware of the dangers of this world. There are violent threats and lies that come inside our wicked cities. There is jolly little to take refuge in. For the enemies have breached the walls of the rebellious city and there are cries and sore distress in the night watches. The king will praise you as long as he lives because you have occasioned him pleasant sleep. Even in mature age tho there are a thousand troops of the enemy that surrounds him yet he is secured in a safe refuge. We bow down with unshakable confidence and enduring peace. Father, you promise to faithfully deliver the needy and the fatherless in the national arena. We amply secure your salvation. For when we are delivered from our present trial we will be surrounded by the righteous. You will publicly declare the official word of your eternal salvation. Father how we long for that day of peaceful reconciliation and triumph. Our souls will be abundantly satisfied with rejoicing on that official day. We will unanimously praise you night and day.

 Father, we universally recognize the scorn we vicariously experience because of malicious men who devise sinister plans in their hardened hearts. They have not considered you by thinking about you but their devious ways are treacherous and they speak contemptuously with malice. But you have been faithful to your suffering servant. The king asks you to aggressively protect the helpless poor and the needy from the ruthless hands of the wicked. Why do condemned men scheme against the suffering poor and the needy and say in their rebellious hearts God does not see? Oh, great King of the earth! Arise and deliver the needy from the bloodstained hands of the wicked man!

 We know your ways are peaceful because you justly govern the calves of the nations. Father, why do aggressive men speak with obstinate, so they are as spiteful as serpents bite and could no be charmed by a snake charmer? Father these vicious rulers bring acute distress and offensive threats.  We recall you reduce leaders to nothing like a still-born child like a slug melts away as it moves along. You pronounce their foolish thoughts futile bringing your justice to bear. For the righteous cry out in dreadful night and day asking when you will assuredly make all things right? For we long to plunge our bruised feet in the blood of the wicked.

 Father, you have adequately established us to be honorable by your eternal righteousness. If the gate door was not your righteous Son then no one could enter into your house. This is why we rejoice to find lasting peace and economic prosperity in your secure refuge. Because you expand our barns to overflowing and we heartily rejoice you diligently watch over our prosperous cities. Father, you have delivered us the oracles of God so that we pronounce glory in your holiness. For your holiness is seen in faithfully recreating the world according to the divine beauty of your gracious majesty. Worship you, that we are not forsaken without eternal hope and divine protection.

 We long for the living God! Our souls thirst for You. When can we serve and encounter our God? While desperate men say night and day where is your God? Our God is in brilliant heaven, and He satisfactorily accomplishes whatever pleases Him! Oh, be wonderfully pleased to abundantly supply us with the divine goodness that comes from your elaborate table. That table, that you diligently prepare in the ominous presence of our cruel enemies. They will know you have blessed us on the day of vindication! Father, the world will say of that day we have been universally consecrated by God when the saints are faithfully delivered.

 May we feast on the pleasing things of your table so that we might seek your face in your house? For your word bores in our dull ears to hear "seek His illuminated face. Oh Lord we will seek our supreme and faithful God". Do not hide your face from us. Do not turn away your servant in anger. Cause us to rejoice in you. Make us dance before our Lord. So that we will lie down by your unspeakable comfort and will say there is nothing on earth that we sincerely desire. This is our supreme God who reassures us above and beyond what we could respectfully ask and think. Praise be to the Most High over all the earth!

 The understanding of something is begotten by the accurate knowledge of that reasonable thing.Consequently, there is an image in an active sense and a conscious experience in a passive sense. The absolute understanding of that image is in God who understands completely. Christ is the image of God. There are some questions as to the active agent in this connection to that word in its transference into time. Clearly the only Begotten word is in God and nothing outside of Him accurately determines objective reality. That Word, who is the image of God, is determined as begotten is all that was presupposed in the precise determination of time.He is efficiently being outside of time. So that something from our future view is in the comprehensive view of God outside of time.  I don't think the Word is just begotten as an expressed idea of a divine image.

This is the functional activity of an comprehensive understanding as it relates to fundamental doctrine and practice. We have been instantly delivered the seed of the operative word of God. The corruption is in us and not in the active nature of that Begotten word. An active relationship presupposes a persons choice out of this prevailing idea. The exposure to the genuine word spoken by God is Trinitarian in its cooperative activity towards us. So that the absolute assurance of a altered reality is that emphatic word of salvation spoken afresh. Now then because of sin we struggle in real frustration about this corrective action.

 We are wonderfully innocent with the Spirit. We focus on one object every day. We focus on one symbol every day.And we long for one thing at all times. All of us are Calvinist when we go to praying we merely talk ourselves out of it when we get up off our knees. It would be much more sensible to believe as our Lord promised that whatever you ask in His name, He will do.In fact I don't think He ever says when we pray He will respond to us in a feeling of sorrow. But when He expresses His feeling its because He is consistently acting in the specific circumstance. Our hope is shattered by men who lack faith. We are credibly informed that if we test God then we cant justly expect a miracle. That seems to remain our predictable cycle of thinking. 

First because we always start to question when we lack the understanding in an experiential sense that God is good, long suffering and unfailing in His love. The reason He passes before us as this kind of God is because we do not think that in our troubles  God is faithful as an innate disposition. If we sincerely believed that God was going to satisfactorily determine the outcome we wouldn't lose hope in His promise, and we wouldn't suspect Him for apparent reasons.Its that simple. So that a Calvinist doesn't entertain the compulsory power of human will to merely increase His hope. All of that arduous process is wasted on this hardened earth.This self-will process is a useless exercise in personal regret, overwhelming guilt, shame, fear, over focused on the alleged ability of man. Its natural for us to be blinded in this problematic area. Its as natural as it is to genuinely believe that God is absolutely sovereign, a doctrine that some of us cant stomach, to our own hurt. In a way at that point if we were not as vulnerable being subject this overwhelming sinful desire, we could face any circumstance. We could encounter any kind person who is does not believe that God is sovereign and states the reason that anyone sins. 

 It is because they don't believe that God is near.The reason anyone cannot overcome the moral distress is because they do not believe that God is sovereign. The specific reason people do not get along in marriage is they do not believe that God is sovereign. That is the fallback position. But why we include the axioms we can progress from questioning and dwelling on our sin to experience His sovereign goodness in being forgiven, We spread those things over to Him. The saints seek His gifts in our lives being enabled through the axioms to forget what is behind. It is a mystical experience of His sovereignty over all things. Whatever self-determination we entertain unfulfilled personal frustration and regret. In a foolish way we never give up humanistic determinism.

God gifts His justified people with humility. Eternal salvation is being implanted with God's Law and Spirit. The Apostle teaches we are sufficiently completed with the fullness of God. Our sin has been imputed to Christ, and we graciously receive His righteousness. In order for us to be completely forgiven God had accepted the atoning sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. The Psalmist teaches that salvation reverses all of the adverse conditions of our relationship of personal enmity with God. Enmity merely comprises the law's active work of harsh condemnation to prove we were cursed. We were covenant breakers who redefined God's Law to overturn God's comprehensive statutes. In redefining God's law we willingly became our own God by threatening our determined opposition. We tried silencing God's judicial decrees by acting as if God did not exist. We delivered mutual promises to convince reasonable people to follow us. We acted as if God's sacred promises were worthless. When we vainly sought to redefine the axioms, we spread violent destruction in the culture. But God did not deliver the saint's authority to take vengeance and annul the destruction. 

God had to uphold the axioms in cursing the redefining of man's personal gifts He fashioned him with. The proud man employs the noble gifts of God to wreck God's peaceable kingdom. The proud man receives the moral consequences of his rebellion. The axioms remain laws that graciously allow and forcibly prevent creating the success of God's kingdom. The axioms adequately define all that we sincerely desire for the good of the world that the wicked vainly seek to overturn. We regulate the world through axioms. God is renewing all things.94  9 Does he who implanted the ear not hears? Does he who formed the eye not sees?10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?

 The Bible teaches our destructive relationship to the law is not completely satisfied in our justification before God. Some unfortunate people teach that prior to eternal salvation we are under the condemnation of the law and dead in our sins. When we are delivered, the law is satisfied in Christ on our behalf. But then they inadvertently teach our renewed relationship to the law is to steer us to Christ. This is where we miss understand the unique place of the law in our sanctification. They teach the law condemns notorious sinners. Consequently, we are still in need of vicariously experiencing the condemning power that will coerce us to promptly turn to Christ. We confuse the laws work on our hearts in leading us into repentance unto life and the work of the law in transforming us after salvation. The law produced personal guilt before and after salvation.

 We remain the people who examine the word of God. What we do not grasp is to our disadvantage. Put differently, we are appreciated by the knowledge of the word. Ignorance is not bliss. The bible is written in order to transform our minds. This transformation is accomplished through" illumination. "It is not just enough to examine the text through cross-reference and word study.But we must become so familiar with the text that the words of the prior use stand out in the other text of scripture. This means the study and worship of God are put in the context of war and legality. When we go to worship or take communion, we are steadfastly opposing the kingdom of darkness. We proactively engage the war in worship. We are not criminals who defy the judge and are cross-examined, but we are innocent of the charges and have the defense of Spirit and word

 We are delivered into a cruel world where wicked men worship other gods. This is intentionally turning God's divine glory into cruel shame. It is exalting a created thing that God produced over the objective reality of the divine glory and sacred majesty of the Creator. He is saying that speaking against God is redefining His sacred word. The saints pronounce judgment on the wicked. The position taught in the Psalms is more than an exhortation of holiness by the condemnation of the law. But rather it's an authoritative pronouncement of justifiable war by the pronounced defense of the law.  

 We accurately understand if we are no longer under the condemning power of the law then we cannot be in the corresponding position we were in our unregenerate state. The law of God is never lessened by the comprehensive doctrines of grace. Put differently to genuinely love, to ordinarily receive divine grace, to be free is accurately measured according to the law of God. God has inseparably united all necessary things in the ideal law. The value of all created things is measured by the law of God. This accurately makes it impossible for the law to merely remain in a neutral position. Without the unchangeable law, we are subject to personal insecurity and an unstable foundation.

 Sanctification is not the comprehensive approach that the law recovers us. We can do nothing without God's appropriate standard of law-keeping in light of His unchangeable nature. Consequently, it's our completed position in Christ and the application of the law that determines our growth. Because we cannot add or take away from the comprehensive law. God never changes. In order for us to be dutifully accepted in light of the full working of the law, we must be enabled by substitution. Therefore, it is not the measurement of the law, but our application in light of God's infinite standard of a relationship.

We can reason in a destructive way of cursing ourselves. The justified do not curse but blesses. Anytime we hold onto sin we become destructive. When the law speaks, we die. God's law curses offenders. But we are released from the fierce curse of sin by Christ's penal substitution of merited punishment. We curse ourselves by thinking Christ is not enough to restrain us from the destructive process of the punitive law that works death in us.

 We must hold fast to the objective truth that our justification adequately conveys us legally blameless. If God should hold sin against us then no one could stand. The world is under bondage to sin. But because we are freed from sin in Christ, we correctly argue for our blamelessness even though we really are sinners. We are no longer liable as the violent world. God's words of guilt, divine forgiveness, and completed restoration must comply with the objective standard of the law. The law justly condemns the violation or rewards compliance. We are staunchly defended or harshly condemned by His words.

 You can push away the destructive process of the law. The law is no longer clinging to us like a schoolmaster. When we grasp His promises He listens to us. The puritans used to say earnest pleading the promises. We represent not automation but imperfect beings. We are like a cup that gets filled up. We are not parts of something incomplete! We are body and soul carefully pouring out our hearts to Him, growing in sanctification.

Before the foundation of the created world, God decreed whatsoever comes to pass. God determined the accomplished end of all necessary things before He fabricated them. All things were ordered and established according to God's law, covenants, decrees, curses, statutes, and promises. He carefully designed and preordained all things in His eternal counsel. God established the end of all things in His eternal counsel.

 Everything that was created as a comprehensive idea of God was put into necessary existence by His words. God's extensive knowledge of the thorough history of the world was perfected in His eternal counsel. God comprehends all things outside of the constraints of time in one view. God pronounced all things into objective existence conforming to His accurate word. All things are a divine communication of God's ideal eternal government. Any possible explanation of anything must be explained conforming to God's law, covenants, etc. The law, covenants, eternal decrees, comprehensive statutes, curses, and promises properly contain all that exists. These gifts express God's eternal desire that causes creation and recreation. The saints are contained in these gifts that contain all that is efficiently created and recreated. The saint rules the world through these revealed authoritative pronouncements. 6" May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, ...9 to carry out the sentence written against them. This is the glory of all his saints."

 When man fell into sin, God cursed the creation. The curse is man ill becoming his own god. The dreadful curse is carried out in the oppressive government of the wicked man. A creative idea of the entire realm of established government. It must rise up to objective Gods standard of the law, covenants, etc. God judges the foolish thoughts and corrupt intents of man's heart. Any idea that redefines Gods law covenants, curses, etc. is personal rebellion against Gods eternal government. The revealed pronouncements that ordered all things in Gods eternal counsel stand steadfastly the native and indisputable authority of the judgements of all things. The saints are contained in the eternal pronouncements that unify all things at all times. The pronouncements are Gods re-creative words that reorder all things The eternal pronouncements contain Gods control exercised in His supreme justice. The pronouncements are moral His judgements hitherto been spoken over the end of all things in His eternal counsel. The pronouncements will be satisfactorily complete in the final judgement. The saints control the world in the spirit of the final judgement brought into time in these pronouncements. As we speak these pronouncements, we manage all things and experience the mutual satisfaction of Gods judgements in the future. We vicariously experience genuine freedom beyond time in exercising our communicative control through the pronouncements.
