Discuss Psalms 40

    Jesse

    to change my mind would be denying God, Scriptures, sound reasoning & the Witness in my heart.

    What we have writen is True Christianity,

    I feel you are sensible enough in your heart to know it, who do you think inspire you to write it?

    though it maybe just a Seed, being planted within, as an invitation for all who have ears to hear & a heart to receive this Truth

    I personally have received it by pick up my Cross and in a measure experiencing this.

    At first I dreaded it, but as I continue therein ( I'm speaking years ) its truly is as Christ declared Matt 11:29,30

    For He truly is the God 2Cor 1:4

    Now I'm Psalms 40:8

    In reading your thread, my heart leap for joy, that God has & is openning this to you.

    Friend, lets strive to enter the straight gate, lets run the race, press towards the mark, & in the end, when he places upon us our crowns, then we in turn can lay them down at His feet Rev 5:11-13

    come on!

    I can say in Truth, as the old hymn says (& I have already experience) "though none go with me, yet I will follow".

    In all of this it has been a very broken, humbling, & merciful experience, considering where He found me.

    There's "no turning back, no turning back,"

    His Grace to you, Jesse.

    As a added nail to the Scriptural Truth & confimation of the doctrine of perfection in this present life

    1Pet 4:1

    we must be still in our mortal flesh, to suffer in the flesh, & to cease from sin

    its the working of Grace / Cross in denying ungodliness & worldly lust that the carnal minded, which is in enmity against God that must be crucify & the learning of righteousness is the suffering described here,

    As we continue in well doing, ever increasing in the measure of His Spirit

    we come to Psalms 40:8

    I spoke to Chris once about this, but it's worth saying it again, my present measure is in the state of man before he fell, yet still capable of falling, & I have ! I found that in humility, 'Truth in the inward parts" & confessing the least motions of His convictions within my conscience is the key to growing in Grace. I learn to love it when He nails me, its His judgment of lovingkindness drawing me closer to Him, instilling in me the fear of the Lord & by continuing in this state of brokeness I receive strenght to overcome all the wiles of the devil, thus far 1 Thessalonians 5:24

    What God requires is that we walk according to the Truth that we know, as we abide in it, it cleanses us through the continuing exercising of the Grace received, once we mature in that present measure, God gives the increase & the process of sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience & Sprinkling of the Blood/Life of Jesus within us increases, until that final day of Luke 3:16,17 refer to Rom 6:3-5 2Pet 1:19 "not I, but Christ

    Folks, awake to Righteousness & Christ will give you Life

    with all that be open on the subject, those who willful choose not to believe, will have no excuse when they stand before a Holy Holy Holy God to give an account of the Light that's has been reveal to them, folks please consider.

    Another thought, in light of the whole of Scriptures, only the devil influnence upon mankind would plead to remain in unbelief & sin, this doctrine come only from Rev 17:5

    Thank you Ruby. God bless you too.
  • Ruby Lea Read - In Reply on Psalms 40 - 2 years ago
    Amen U4YAH:

    You are correct; most if not all of the Psalms are prophecies of Christ; AND, all the words of Psalms are the words of the spirit of Christ; AND, Christ has the spirit of his Father ( 2 Samuel 23:1-2)( Isaiah 59:21).

    Psalms 23:6 Surly goodness and mercy shall follow me (Christ) all the days of my life: and I (Christ) will dwell in the HOUSE of the LORD forever.

    Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own HOUSE; whose HOUSE ARE WE ....

    Colossians 1:27 .... this mystery .....Christ in you .....

    Keep sharing as the spirit reveals HIS TRUTH to you.

    God Bless You!

    I have discovered that many of the Psalms are prophesies about the messiah if not all of them.

    Notice 40:7 then said I Lo I come in volume of the book "Written of me"... now remember when Jahshua was teaching in the synagogue and closed the Torah after reading these words. The people were astonished because he did not finish the entire Psalm's scripture content. Then he said... this day has this scripture been fulfilled. The people rose up to stone him because they understood that this scripture was about the Messiah prophesied to come, that Jahshua was saying that he fulfilled on that day before the congregation. (I have preached righteousness in the great congregation...)

    The iniquities he has, the Messiah is admitting the imperfect feelings he has because he is a man. (iniquity and not sin) They have taken hold of him as these feelings would do with any man automatically, in an instant, (MY heart faileth me) but that doesn't mean that they remain with him and he asks Jah for help with this and help to hurry up and end his suffering (40:17... make no tarrying, O' MY GOD) JAH is his God.

    Jahshua knows what is written by the prophet Isaiah if him. He knows it will please Jah to deliver him from this cruelty of crucifixion by men.

    If you think of the Messiah speaking in this Psalm it will all make sense to you.

    Note: always ask Jah in the name of Jahshua, the Messiah to send you the two female spirits, Wisdom and Understanding. (Call Wisdom your 'sister' and Understanding your 'kinswoman'. This could be the unction from the Holy One that John writes about in his epistle 1 Jhn 2:27

    We need to do this to find the knowledge that is true and no lie. (Lack of knowledge is killing my people)

    I pray Jah has sent me the truth and helped you and I to understand.

    Hello

    David cries out to God not only to save him, but to do so quickly. This has a dual meaning: David acknowledged his need for forgiveness of sins ( Psalm 40:12), as well as the physical dangers he often faced (
  • Bianca on Psalms 40 - 2 years ago
    Please explain pslam 40:13
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 40 - 2 years ago
    Psalm 40

    The first 3 verses echoing the famous song on the subject by a popular band shows how seemingly prophetically those who patiently wait upon the Lord will be raptured (v. 2); and then many will see and fear. We also see a "new song" in verse 3; arguably part of the song which other saints are singing in glory.

    The next two verses show the great grace and innumerable works that God has wrought. We do well to heed to the second part of verse 4 on not turning away from TRUST in God and toward the lies of this world. Such is the fate of many professing Christians today. Verse 7 was a prophetic quotation about Christ mentioned in the Book of Hebrews. Verses 8 and 10 apply to the Messiah as well. Verse 11 could apply to David or Christ; but we can only place verse 12 as something applying to David. For any true believer God reveals sin and like an onion being peeled; systematically more and more of our old nature is exposed and revealed as time goes on.

    As we continue from verses 6 through 10 we see the personal importance of God's grace to David himself (after two unpardonable death sentence actions of adultery and being complicit in murder with the Bathsheeba and Uriah the Hittite incident).

    The rest of the Psalm could apply to David or Christ. The fact that Christ was "poor and needy" certainly seems to contradict the health and wealth gospel of today. His was not a self righteous martyrdom complex. The creator of the universe came as a servant to die for His enemies to make us His adopted sons. There are many today who make a name for themselves (often quite literally) with their name or ministry in bold print. To be a "man of sorrows" ( Isaiah 53:3) is certainly not popular; nor verses that say that if they persecuted me they will persecute you ( John 15:18-21). The resurrection and the life start now when His life is seen in true servants of God who have a "humble and contrite spirit" ( Psalm 51:17). Only His sacrifice brings life.
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 40 - 2 years ago
    THE STATE OF MAN AND UNCHANGEABLENESS OF GOD

    Psalm 139:8 shows that God is everywhere; including in what was the abode of the dead; Sheol. Think for a minute what this implies. When we see what can only be taken as a literal story of Lazarus and the rich man we see two individuals clearly in a different state in the afterlife. In fact; the rich man is still there and will be until the Great White Throne Judgment.

    The souls of the righteous; however are now present with the Lord ( Ephesians 4:8; 2 Cor. 5:6).

    No longer are those who die in the Lord held captive by the Devil from the presence of God ( Hebrews 2:14-15). Only the rightous will actually see God; Psalm 11:6-7 illustrate this along with the fate of the wicked in hell in great detail. Even this life; in fact shows how one can be dead in trespasses and sins yet physically alive ( Ephesians 2:1). This will be the eternal state for the wicked in the lake of fire.

    Our human minds cannot conceive how God does not change; and how He can be a God of mercy and grace yet render eternal judgment on the unregenerate; also those whose souls God created ( Ezekiel 18:4). Nonetheless; that verse illustrates how a father and son and blood relations are not relevant for determining the salvation of an individual. We see that in the book of Joshua with Gideon that God is for those who are on his side; whatever we percieve in our reality as the right or wrong sides. God brings good to those who love Him ( Romans 8:28). It is according to HIS PURPOSE that these things occur; the same holds true for the wicked as God has no joy in the death of the wicked ( Ezekiel 18:23) but grace is only available for repentance in THIS LIFE according to His terms.

    Wes gave a wise answer on Christmas. Exodus 23:8, Deuteronomy 16:19, Ecclesiastes 7:7, may The HOLY Spirit teach us. John 14:26

    I love to celebrate Christmas, I really enjoy the lights, the focus on our Savior. The generosity in the season. Christmas is a time of year, people remember more their fellow man, needs & wants of others. Christmas time reminds us of the joys of giving & putting smiles on others faces, teaching by love & kindnesses. Surprising a person with anonymous unexpected gifts, giving hope to people in desperation, food, clothing, volunteering, etc. warms their hearts, body & soul & sometimes gives them hope for a better ' tomorrow '. Christmas is the time of year people are more willing to receive from a Christian.....

    We as Believers have an open door at Christmas unlike any other time of the year, to show the World who Jesus is, who the Church is.

    When we remember those most "forgotten by others" showing them, they are not forgotten by GOD, it's amazing how even those around them are affected.

    Deuteronomy 15:7, Job 5:16, Proverbs 19:4, Psalms 69:33, Proverbs 14:21, 2Corinthians 9:9, Psalms 68:10, Galatians 2:10, Romans 15:26, Psalms 40:17, Proverbs 22:2, Psalms 41:1, Luke 14:13, Psalms 74:21, Proverbs 29:7, Proverbs 28:27, Psalms 112:9, Psalms 82:3, Daniel 4:27, Proverbs 21:13, Proverbs 31:10,20, context Proverbs 31, Proverbs 19:17, Proverbs 19:7, Luke 4:18, Matthew 11:5, Mark 10:21,

    Proverbs 19:6, Esther 9:22, James 1:27,

    This Christmas season we really have a moment to help comfort, our nations with love, giving hope through the WORD, to poor in spirit & helping heal wounds. There is much we can give this year, for those in need. I pray GOD lead us even now, to start the giving season early. Romans 6:23, 2Corinthians 1:4, Proverbs 15:23,

    Psalms 31:24, Ecclesiastes 3:1,

    Thanks!!!!! so much; what a blessing for the soul again, Thanks!!!!
  • Brian on Isaiah 58 - 2 years ago
    That's contradictory about the the 4th commandment being absolute and the other nine still valid.

    Jesus says if you love me keep.my commandments John 14:15

    The Bible also states in 1 John 2 1-4.we are liars if we say we love God but depart from the law of love.

    Lastly, James let's us know it the standard it the law of liberty. Liberty is in Christ, He makes us free from the bandage of sin in the law of Moses that records the sacrifices for sin and free will offerings.

    If thr 4th commandment could be changed or abolish then Jesus need not have died. It is because the law stands fast forever why Jesus had to come to show us how to keep them. I delight to do thy will thy law is with my heart. Psalms 40:8
  • Charrisse Thompson - In Reply on Isaiah 58 - 2 years ago
    Continued Hebrews 4

    The Moral law contains the Love and legal code God has for His Universe and beloved children. It is;

    Written in stone by God's own finger - Exodus 31:18, Deuteronomy 4:12-13, 9:10

    Has always existed & will be kept throughout eternity and throughout all the universe - Psalm 111:7,8, Romans 5:19 refers to Adam sinning in the Garden of Eden

    Jesus said He did not come to destroy it but to fulfil it - Matt 5:17 - 19

    Jesus said 'If you love me keep my commandments' John 14:15 and that 'He is the Lord of the Sabbath - Mark 2:28 - yet never mentions it being dissolved or changed

    God's people are commanded to keep the Commandments of God for all eternity & God's people are identified by it because they keep it out of love to God and by faith - Exodus 19:5, Ecclesiastes 12:13,14, Psalm 111:7,8, Revelation 14:12, 12:17

    Lives in the heart of God's children - Psalms 40:8

    We are judged by them - James 2:12

    Blessed with access to the Tree of Life if you keep them by faith - Revelation 22:14

    I would like request as I've been saying for past few days or so that God make me willing to be willing and willing to cast those burden unto him that are hindering me from following you.



    But I would like to ask you what your will for my life is. I've been telling you about getting grounded in a direction and the particular direction you have for me and so I ask where that is to head. With things seeming to near to the end, feeling unready and hearing about country living and other that seem to be what those living near the end should be doing, I would like to pray that I can clearly understand these things and they be incorporated in the direction you have for me. You know the worries that come before me with living for you and so lift me out of this trouble and give me help out. ( Psalms 40:2)

    WHEN WAS THE GOSPEL SET IN MOTION? OR PERHAPS THOUGHT OF.

    Here's a few scriptures perhaps something to help or give thought to several topics.

    1 Peter 1:19-21.

    I make this 1st Scripture a significant point of interest because if all get saved in the end regardless then that renders the word Salvation obsolete. So we righteously argue that if that was the case why spill the blood of our Precious Lord as Brother Chris has stated?

    I believe here's another factor when combining the above verse with this one.

    Hebrews 10:7.

    Psalms 40:7.

    I believe When considering all scripture it ties some way or another to the Lord's redemption plan.

    Sense the plan of salvation was drawn up before the foundation of the world and the volume of the book is written of Christ it don't only render salvation obsolete it render the volume of the book obsolete.

    We would no longer have scripture to reason with.

    Part 2.

    Also when considering the 2 trees in the Garden we must consider this redemption plan was purposed to come by Christ before either of these trees were made! And also consider the volume of the book was written of Christ. I believe that eating of the tree of life has its role in this as well! Atleast in a way to set the plan in motion.

    " My thought here is inconclusive "

    But here is why I mentioned it. Look at the results from eating of the tree.

    Genesis 3:21. I believe this significant piece of scripture is part of the volume of the book mentioned and the first blood atonement sacrifice pointing ahead to the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39.

    God bless.

    To continue._..

    Sorry I realize without follow-up, 1st response a little unclear & not finished. The "independant" 3rd party research done about Autism linked to vaccinations, found: the liquid metals within the vacs to inject, [liquid metals like mercury become fluid before 90 at 90 we can remove impurities/other ingredient out of the metal like in simple water bath] [the mercury would sink to the bottom & other ingredient would float] [that's why mercury & other metals have reproductive health warning, because of settling within lowest parts of human body, when abortion occurs, through skin etc.]

    The increase of Autism, increased in States where Vaccination was 'requried' their scientific evidence found it effected "normal' children, beforehand then Autistic after vaccination because certain individuals were not able to absorb the metals.

    Hopefully this is helpful.

    I believe Romans 8:28, Luke 12:12,

    I believe through the experiences I've been through, trained & learned it's for the good of THE BODY of CHRIST. Matthew 10:8,

    Even with that said I am not an "Anti-vaxer" I believe we have the HOLY Spirit to guide us in all things. John 16:13, however we should all have the choice.

    Just because something was helpful, beneficial in the past doesn't mean we should put faith or trust in it now or future. Psalms 118:8, PsalmS 40:40

    The most recent vaccination actually has debate because of worse ingredients (graphite, which have high heat & electrical conductivity) & other very controversial 'evil' ingredients. Psalms 106:36-39
