Kerwin Baptist Church Daily Broadcast

Welcome to the Kerwin Baptist Church broadcast today. Our desire is for the word of God spread throughout all may know Christ.

Join us now for a portion of one of our services here at Kerwin Baptist Church located in Kernersville, North Carolina. Psalm 55 is a time that David, who was a man after God's own heart.

I have spoken on Psalm 55 before I will speak on again it is jampacked full of things for folks to glean and learn from that are going through difficult times going through difficulty in in their life. In Psalm 55 we find a man here whose own son had turned on him his own son was trying to kill him. This is a man whose own son had raped his daughter which would be his half-sister.

This is a man that not only right at this period of time was his son trying to kill him. This was a man whose one of his most trusted people manning to hit the fell had turned his back on David and had literally run to the enemy and was trying to share secrets with those who were trying to kill David. This was a man who felt very very alone.

A man who felt like he didn't have anybody really could trust and was going through what was probably one of the darkest periods of his life. This was also a man who had married a young son man who had been through a lot.

Not a perfect man, a sinful man who had been forgiven by God, let me remind you this morning. We are all sinful people. I hope that if you're here that there is no part of you that thinks that any part of you is not as good as anyone else in this room, the Lord loves you the same. He died on the cross for you as much as he died for anybody else in all of us who are here are nothing but sinners, filthy rotten synergies like preacher Hout. That's the truth we are filthy rotten sinners that God through his grace has forgiven Charles Spurgeon a very famous preacher said this and I thought this was interesting on the read it exactly how he quoted it. I bear willing witness today that I owe more to the fire. The hammer in the file, then to anything else in the Lord's workshop. Listen, this only sure you get it is that I bear witness that I owe more to the fire the hammer and the filed into anything else in the Lord's workshop, I sometimes question whether I have ever learned anything except through the rod when my schoolroom is darkened. I see the most was driving yesterday evening I saw a church sign and said this when I was on my knees is when I learned to stand David here had difficulty I wanted to read a little bit about it and then we'll get started this morning.

Look at verse one to the chief musician of Megan Ausmus, Sheila Psalm of David.

Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me and hear me. I mourn in my complaint and make a noise because of the voice of the enemy because of the oppression of the wicked, for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath. They hate me. My heart is sore pain with in me and the terrors of death are fallen upon me, fearfulness, and trembling are come upon me in horror, half overwhelmed me and I said oh that I had wings like a dove for then would I fly away and be at rest below then would I wander far off and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

We all know that word Selah means to stop and ponder. Meditate on what we've just heard the subject this morning. We've all been there.

Let's pray Lord we love you Lord, I need you to come for my heart today and give me strength in Lord, I need you to comfort the hearts of those who are listening Lord. A lot of our folks are going through difficult things in in the Lord is no different for the pastor and his family and I Lord I know some folks that have gotten some bad reports this week. Lord I pray that we think Chris offered up are you really bless her strengthen her. She's Artie been through so much and I Lord I know that you are the great physician, you are the great healer and Lord, we come to you full of faith that you are the only one that can do anything about it. So Lord I pray that you bless our service this morning and Lord I pray that you would make clear our thoughts and the things that you have laid on our hearts.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Number one this morning I believe is important for you to see number one David's discouragement, David's discouragement, I'm not trying to be a sarong is a party pooper. Is that a bad word to say. I'm not trying to be a party pooper here this morning. I guess that is kind of a bad word is wrong to say that in church service. Come on you, but you hypocrites tell me is that what it is like your usual designer to write the car and say is I don't say anything to me about not trying to be a downer or anything. Not trying to be discouraging here this morning, but I will tell you this that I don't think I've ever seen a time in my life. For God's people and preachers of said this for years and I know that but I mean for my young ministry I see more people going through difficult things in I see discouragement just just everywhere amongst the children of God, let me say this. First and foremost I don't care what preacher you've heard you say are you saying that other preachers are wrong. I am if they told you this but you are not a bad person if you're discouraged, you understand that you're not a weak Christian because you're discouraged you're not even a defeated Christian because you're discouraged. That is part of life and let me tell you why because we are flesh. We are people we are human, and human beings will be discouraged from time to time where the problem comes is when we stay discouraged. We almost relish discouragement. But I'm here to tell you it is not something wrong with you because you're discouraged and there's not something innately. It doesn't mean you're not saying that it doesn't mean that you're not a good Christian. It doesn't mean that God is mad at you because you're discouraged. It doesn't even mean you don't trust God if you're discouraged. On the other atelier.

Sometimes on the most discouraged. I trust him and I know he knows what he's doing but I'm still discouraged. I want you to understand that first and foremost, David's discouragement. Now David doesn't mind telling you here in Psalm 55 how he's feeling. He is very blunt and honest on the bounds with you. I think that David, the Bible says in the Bible characterizes David as a man after God's own heart, and there might be a lot of reasons for that and some of the things that David did in his life is not very godly so to say that he's a manager God's own heart, and yet he did some very ungodly things.

It reminds me that God knows our frame. He knows where Dusty knows that were sinners and even in the midst of us messing up and being discouraged and even doing simple things God still knows us and he still loves us and he still forgiven us.

May I remind you when somebody says it will. David did some very ungodly things. How can he be a man after God's own heart. And I remind you that we are very ungodly people, but we in the eyes of God are perfect you like what you realize that when you got saved. If you're saved this morning when you gave your heart to Christ and his blood covered your sins.

The Bible says that his righteousness was imputed to us, which means that God looks on us as if we are people that have never send when you're saying so I reminded David could be a man after God's own heart because David in the eyes of God was sinless because he was a believer but was David's discouraged believers wanted to. He says give ear to my prayer of God in high not thyself from my supplication.

Attend unto me and hear me. He said quit hiding God listen to me. I can't find you number one David felt deserted now. I hope it may be in your life you have never felt that but on that until a week on the to be honest with you. There have been times in my life where I did. I was talking to the deacons this morning and I was hearing some of they asked about some of the things again this week and I was trying to explain that to them and I said I know that God can do whatever God wants to do and I know he's able to sit on the honest with you I just don't like I've had the best track record in the past five years my life the past five years of my life. I literally God's place, me, and I believe his will for my entire life right near the start, which is wonderful.

Thank you for me. Sorry, but as for me, I apologize now, but Joe is a great thing for me but me and I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed that God would heal my mom and he didn't. As far as earthly speak. I pray that God would heal her. Let her live longer and he healed her to go to heaven.

I know God's will is done but I'm to send it out. II just as that of all time to just take over this church and try to passion, his church, a need mom and moms.

You know, prayers and all these things more than ever. I prayed and prayed that God would allow our son Kayden were told about the heart defect. I prayed and prayed that God would fix that heart this past week were in the exact same room on that machine do an EKG and looking at that heart pumping on that screen and it just reminded me literally 3 1/2 years ago or more. But I sat there literally watch that heart on the screen. It just kept waiting to see something to prove God you just healed it and that heart's normal now and he's gotta be born normal and is not good. I have this thing that they say has in God and it didn't turn out that way. He had the heart defect and he had something else to be honest with you as odd as I look and pray about things.

I know God can and I know God is able but on the goes with you just had all turned out like I've been prayed for five years. You might also be honest this morning that mean I don't have faith in God can, but sometimes I question whether he will set there this week that machine about three and half years ago was full of hope, to heal. This paper was even born and didn't turn out that way.

He felt deserted literally. David felt God you're not here for me right now, you're just not here for me. You must be busy helping everybody else in this world God. But you're not here for me and you're not even listening to what I'm saying. David felt deserted anybody else or been there second. He felt deceived you in verse three. Because of the voice of the enemy because of the oppression of the wicked, for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath.

They hate me now. We believe specifically, I believe that in verse three. David's talking about to hit the felt that I could be talking about his own son Absalom, but I want you notice in verse three. Because of the voice of the enemy, and I believe that David this man to hit the film. By the way if you've ever done a study on this. This is tremendous because a hippo fell as of is a character he was. He was way up in David's army was one of his close advisors but hit the fellow had a granddaughter named Bathsheba, and Bathsheba was the woman that David had an affair with, and then had her husband murdered and so I had the fill had bitterness about that with David and that bitterness finally came out and hit Phil turned his back on David ran to the enemy and began to spill secrets to the enemy and I believe Dave is literally think in the voice of the enemy. He's literally right now using his voice to turn his back on me. He felt deceived.

Anybody ever felt deceived in your life ever felt like somebody you trusted that absolutely stabbed you in the back was a good David's discouragement number three. He felt dirty verse for my heart is sore pain with in me and the terrors of death are fallen upon me know what you notice close to that phrase, the terrors of death, and I often times a look at this and thought will Dave is just scared for his life because his sons chasing after him on the be honest with you I feel like in the discouragement of this chapter.

Death was not something that David was trying to run from. In fact, David did say later that I wish I could just fly away and be at risk. On the be honest with you I think death look good to David here anybody else ever notice that this chapter.

How else can you just fly away and be arrest. I think that out and I don't know this am not trying to add to the Bible.

Please don't get me wrong, but it could have been that even in this chapter David himself was suicidal.

He had been so discouraged and I believe, why because the guilt was eating him alive in verse four. My heart is sore pain within me the terrors of death. What terrors of death. If he's not scared of death. In fact, he's almost wanting to get away from this thing.

Guilt was eating him alive because he had had this guy Uriah killed and they believe that anything about why is he think about is because in verse two and three is very close associate of the fill had turned against him because David knew he had done the family wrong. Have you ever just blown it. Borgess were really holy.

On Sunday mornings on the only one that this feels like admitting everything on Sunday morning. What else does anybody ever messed up. Anybody ever got to the point your life is felt dirty. You can't believe you did what you did, you can't believe is all the ground you thought you made up since you got say how could I have done that. How could I have thought that how could I have gone that direction on the be honest with you other people hurting you is going to hurt you and other people deceiving you is going to get you. But when you disappoint your self that will discourage you more than anything else. It it it hurts sometimes your criticism, it will hurt anybody when your criticism about something you do and you is my not happy or semi-whatever it hurts, it does hurt to be honest with you as much as that hurts me and my mom, my wife knows this about me. It is much as it sometimes it I feel like a failure and I don't want to disappoint people and I don't want to let them down, and as much is that her smell and taste something. There is nothing that gets me down words when I know I blown there for time like on Monday or Tuesday and I'll think back I cannot believe I said that Sunday morning. I don't mean some of these you think I'm saying I can't believe I said that I can't believe what you notice. Fourthly, that he felt defeated. Verse five fearfulness and trembling are come upon me what David guided footnote. He literally took on a giant he literally defeated Goliath. He looked at a man, probably three times as I and he laid a rock in that man's head with a slingshot like he was holding a 3030. David, a man who had literally conquered hundreds at a time.

And here's Amanda now says I am scared and I am trembling.

Verse five horror have overwhelming horror have overwhelming he felt defeated. He was fearful.

Now he was scared because he felt like I can't win.

I can only lose one read this verse to your first trip in chapter 15 verse 57 but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. You know I David felt defeated because he thought he was the one fighting the battle. You know I David felt defeated because he thought he is on the one that has to win this thing and I'm here to tell you this morning.

Whatever you're going through whatever battle you're facing. God does David's discouragement. Have you ever felt the sword deserted. Have you ever felt deceived. Have your felt dirty.

Have you ever felt defeated. Have you ever been discouraged.

Are you discouraged now. Secondly, I want you to see David's desire what did this discouragement bring you into David is the same thing that discouragement brings to you and me in on the be honest with you we live in a day and I found this out more now pastoring that I ever knew in evangelism there when I was in evangelism.

You know you go to church to church in your preaching and you meet people. Everybody's nice but her body didn't happen. We know want to come and meet with you and talk with you and share their problems with you and these pastors I was with you know you show up and people just like all of the greatest thing I've ever heard you say kids in the back and I bought never heard preaching like that. The pastor standing right there.

I have felt the other end of that now or the beer to exhaust. It was stated back there nonmember who we had and understand right there with him.

They did, they literally as it's one thing to look at a person is a that's the best preacher never heard your passion right there but when you look at the pastor and you say preacher that is the sum of the best preacher we've had at this church ever.

I think in their warped mind that they thought that they were complimenting me for picking the right preacher to come.

God bless you, my dear brother right in the eyes like curly or something. Obviously I'm picking there's one person you don't have to tell me there's better preaching that there are no but I will say this, that when you're discouraged it brings some things some desires begin to flareup in your life, and this is what you gotta be careful what you notice verse six and I said, this is David speaking. Oh that I had wings like a dove for then what I fly away and be at rest. First, I want you to see David's desire was to fly away. That's always that first desires that always want to get away from this, I want to get way far away. I want to be done with it on the fly away and be at rest set off I could just see if I had wings like that I can just leave here immediately go way far away and just never have to come back to this.

Have you ever been discouraged like that, like God, give me out y'all remember this exact verse is where I shared with you that my experience of falling off the tree cable car in San Francisco not going to share that again that's enough embarrassment to last a lifetime. But that's a situation I felt like men if I could just fly out here you know we all member the eye.

I dream of Jeannie years ago. As will my nose and mom gone. That's what I would love to do. There been some sermons while I was preaching. I thought Lord, if I could just get out of here right now. I literally thought all fake a heart attack as you think about it, that would accomplish that would accomplish a number of things.

Number one, it would get you out of your quick number two it would kind of excuse why was such a bad sermon they be like, well, bless his heart. He won feeling good.

That's wild it would just it would cover so many things is very numb to start on the stove is authentic a lot of thought, but you know what I'm saying. So what were these desires.

David said I like the fly away.

I like to fly away if you think about it what you're saying is a Christian. What I'm saying is a Christian is God, you're not big enough to handle this. The only way I can do with this is just to leave it, it's kinda tough when the truth hits us in the face and will date will God, you're just not big enough and I'm just can have to leave is my only option now is that I found verse 678 and and digging into this again. I just lost his never seen liver seven low then what I wonder far off and remain the wilderness, so in verse six he wants to fly away verse seven he wants to flee away.

You see flying away means I can just get up fly above everything and when David realizes that that was impossible. Then he said in verse seven I like to just be able to on my feet run away from here. I would just wander off into the in the wilderness and stay there. I want to just wander off.

In other words, this Davis is what is a mean one or all folks. It means that you're just kind of behind the scenes nobody's really watching and dissolves on your gone wander off from this very quietly. You know David said for someone is flat while waiting to get out of here. That's not possible, so I always I could just maybe exit myself from this and get away in the wilderness and just stay there. When you notice number three in verse eight in verse 61 to fly away verse 71, to flee away. But in verse eight he wanted to find a way.

In other words, that the first thought was I want to just fly over above everything it out here. Any realize that one possible then he said if I could just exit from here and go off to the wilderness to stay there any realize that was impossible. So in verse eight, he finally just as I just want to skate. If I can't wander off quietly and if I can get all the wilderness and not that, not just to avoid this, and not to do with it. I wish I could just get away from this storm. If I can't fly away somewhere and stay forever.

And if I can't wander off at least to the wilderness and stay there. If I can just get out of this storm.

You know what happens a lot of times we get discouraged with a gotta want to go somewhere while never have to feel this and then we realize that is impossible.

In this it will Lord if I could just get out of out of out of this and get out of his this church. Don't ever have to need to worry about anybody hurt my feelings.

Here again, and then we realize that's not good to anything and finally get the point got. I just need help to get out of this storm. You're not careful, your desire my desire will be what can I do to just exit this problem and get away from this promise quick as I can't and dear friend, I want you to understand something, there is no way for you to get away from your problems, because wherever you go there following you, because where the problem like the guy they got that nasty Limburger cheese on his mustache. After about the third day look at his wife is a sweetheart the whole world stinks. He was a stinker.

A lot of times we just think about how to get away from this, but, dear friend wherever you and I go have problems. What you notice. Number three.

David's deliverance liver 16. As for me I will call upon God and the Lord shall save me now. I don't know what kind of struggle went from verse 15 verse 16, but it was a long hard struggle when I'm leaving on a number of things out. By the way, about where David felt deceived if you look at verse 12, all way to verse 15, you find that it was a very close friend of David that it hurt him and I don't know where verse 15 is that you know he's got a man bitter this person and then verse 16 he says well as for me I will call upon God. I don't know what struggle there was between verse 15 and 16. I don't know what time. There was I don't know how much self-loathing and how much preaching at himself or maybe somebody else came into the picture and try to encourage him and and try to remind him of something I don't know what went on but all I know is is that there is a huge change from verse 15 of verse 16 and dear friend I'm here to tell you, you might be in verse 15 in your life right now. But you got to get to verse 16. David's deliverance number one is to call on God. As for me I will call upon God.

Now that means is first off, that is a personal decision.

You can't call God for your children. You can call on God on behalf of your children but you can't make them: God, you can't make any but you can make your well husband or wife you say well I see they're not right with God with us in different you can't make that decision for David said as for me know as I can't decide for anybody else. While David's blame in this sublime and that David finally realized. As for me I will call upon God wanted to read this to Isaiah 65 verse 23 and 24. Listen to this, they shall not labor in vain nor bring forth for trouble, for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them and it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer and while they are yet speaking, I will hear you got a call upon God. God is so anxious and ready to help you. God is so ready to uplift you. God is so ready to come in and take care of this situation for you before you even called no answer. He's already he's waiting. He's anxious don't go through this on your own you call upon me.

I made promises to you and my word promised.

I'll never leave you nor forsake call on me what you know to secondly not only is the way that David was delivered. First he called on God. Second, you and I have to learn to commune with the right people. Now listen, I'm not grasping for straws are limited to the verse in verse 18, he hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were meeting with me. One of the biggest things that keeps you discouraged is we begin to think that everybody's against us and we begin to think that nobody loves us and nobody is on our side and nobody is there for us.

And David said that literally he said I was delivered from that battle and peace was restored in my life because I realize there were many with me only pay one of the biggest things to keep you discouraged is for you to talk to the wrong people. You get around negative critical people when you're discouraged.
