• He knows that if he’s truthful with G-d, then G-d will forgive him. He has an understanding that God’s love is never ending and not dependent on performance. His deepest longing is to be right with G-d at all times. Humility. Erin
• He wants to have joy back in his life. Vs. 8,12 Keena
• The first step in salvation is to recognize how wicked we are, the filth. David has reached that point. CWK
• Steps that G-d takes to bring David back when he recognizes and confesses sin. JS
• God works the change in there. We can’t save ourselves and make it right. EH
• Vs 4 can also be made “gracious when you speak and blameless when you judge.” Very poetic. KAF
• Vs 13-15 David is expecting to play a part in glorifying G-d and leading others to glorify G-d. G-d is so gracious that He will be able to restore back to a place where David can be used. It’s very comforting and encouraging. We are forgiven. AP
• Vs 17 His heart was one of a broken heart. (This is after Nathan came and confronted him. During that time, his heart wasn’t completely bowed before the L-rd) Sacrifices of G-d are a broken and contrite heart. We first chose to do actions (prayer, reading, worship) out of passion; we need to re-evaluate our motives, and get passionate again.

• Forgiveness is both for giving and for getting. Important thing is that we will never receive unless we are forgiving and being forgiven. JS
• Prodigal son. Younger brother when coming back, he took a chance coming back home that the father would take him back in, even if as a slave. He was humble and his father went above and beyond what needed to be done to reinstate as a son. The older brother thought the younger one should have to earn it – inside he was proud and judgmental. He thought it was based on performance. EH

1) The Spirit may have been right, but the vessel may have misspoken, failed to see correctly, or you (or the venerable scribe) may have misheard. Prophecy and teaching are not Scripture.

2) Check it out with the Word of G-d for yourself.

3) In a multitude of counselors there is safety--get other perspectives from mature believers and congregational leadership.

4) Look for independent confirmation and agreement.

5) Remember that the purpose of prophecy and teaching is rarely to provide us with final answers, but to open ourselves up to the maturing work of the Holy Spirit.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter." - Proverbs 25:2

You have to be true to the way the L-rd made you to recieve the word. It says in 2nd Peter that the word did not came alone but with the interpretation by the Spirit. The interpretation should come from the L-rd, don't try to work out the puzzle on your on. Also look for confirmation Scriptures. Have faith for earthly confirmation...what does it say here "Whatever he does shall prosper". When you get a word don't leave it off in some spiritual space, look for confirmation from every day life outside your influence, then you can run with it.

Praying about this evening and was very excited....really need to make sure your heart is in the right place. Just be thanking the L-rd and think on good things for the person in front of you.

Prophetic vision for the group: "Saw a tree and it was planted with deep roots, and I knew this tree meant abiding. And I saw the leaves of tree reach way way up, and I saw the wind rustle through the trees. We don't know where the Spirit goes, except by the rustling of the leaves (John 3:8)."

Prophetic word for the group: "Put your roots down deep in the soil of His word and your leaves up high and you will know the passing of the Spirit through your lives...the work of the Spirit through your lives. Do not think you will not see the work of the spirit in your life. Do not let anxiety, circumstances, confusion, come in the way from you knowing the passing of the Spirit through your life." Psalm 1:2-3

About the only way you can not abide if you break yourself off and seek your own desire. To abide is obedience, and to mediate on Scripture (what Psalm 1 is about). The guy who is sitting in the seat of the scornful has his progress stopping. Having that word inside you is what enables you to abide. Don't let the book of the Law depart from you, fear not, but mediate on it day and night. What scripture you mediate on will be engrafted into your soul and will bear fruit in your life.

1. Authority in the heavenly realm
As God’s son, he has the right to give authority: Luke 10:19 (After 72 return, amazed at their ability to even cast out demons)
As a high priest, he intercedes before God’s throne: Heb 7:23-25; Heb 4:14-16

2. Yeshua tells us he is the conduit: John 14:6 (way, truth and life)

3. Examples in the N.C.: Acts 4:8-12; 1 Cor 6:11 (Big list of sins first, then this verse)
Coll 3:17 (Actions in Yeshua’s name)

4. Worship: Philippians 2:8-11

Are we explicitly commanded to use His name in prayer? No. Yeshua doesn’t pray in His own name in the Lord’s Prayer. But there’s power in His name, as the passage in Philippians tells us.
