Give ear to my prayer, O God, and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me, and in wrath they hate me. Psalm 55: 1-3
Give ear to my prayer, O God, and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me, and in wrath they hate me. Psalm 55: 1-3
The Old Testament is full of wars, raging battles, and death, but today the battleground is the mind of man. The wicked are the powers of darkness who constantly fire flaming missiles into our minds to distract and destroy our peace!
According to II Corinthians 10:3-6, our weapons are spiritual, and we are to inventory our thought life and take captive constantly what is not of God! There are three voices: ours, the devil's, and God's. We have to discern who is speaking and deal with those who are not of God!
Our unseen enemies are many and attack our minds on a daily basis. This is why we must be sober and alert to be able to defeat them so that they don't overwhelm us with their distracting diatribes! (a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something)
My heart is severely pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me. So, I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would wander far off and remain in the wilderness. Psalm 55:4-7 Selah

by Timothy Laughlin Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast (firm, immovable and faithful) spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You. Psalm 51:10-13 Is it really possible to have a pure and clean heart, even when you have committed adultery and murder? The answer is a resounding, yes! Through confession, acknowledgment, and repentance, God will wash your sins away and remove them from as far as the east is from the west! He will renew your relationship with Him and restore your faith and joy in your salvation. Fear, doubt, and unbelief will leave, and peace will cover your spirit, soul, and body. The hole in your heart will be closed and filled with Holy Spirit presence! His powerful anointing will return, and sinners will be saved! David repented of his sins, and God forgave him and set him free from his transgressions and iniquities. Although God forgives us, we must remember that the consequences of our sins continue to follow us even though we repent. David suffered greatly during the rest of his life. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, you will not despise. Psalm 51:14-17 Your servant in Christ, Timothy Laughlin Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
