Unlocking the Old Testament Part 31 - Psalms Pt 1of 2 

I'm so relieved to know that the urge to begin shouting when I read the Psalms is not as random as I thought it was. Sometimes my spirit just gets so excited I want to shout and laugh and dance and shake my fist in triumph. I feel so much when I read and hear the Psalms. Its amazing.

Thx Mr.David Pawson, I am from the Netherlands. I believe in God,His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. What a wonderfull telling of the Psalms. Thank You for this. Thanks to Our Father in Heaven. Amen.

A great teaching from a man devoted to God---thank you David Pawson.

Put my tears in your bottle Lord..Beautiful!

Thankyou dear David , for all that you teach us . K

George Matheson also wrote the hymn "O love that wilt not let me go." He was engaged to be married but unfortunately he was struck blind and his fiancee broke off the engagement. He wrote this hymn as a prayer to the only one who he felt was left who he could trust and rely on, the Lord Jesus.

God is good 😁😁

May be someone commented this already, but David at 27:00 refer to Psalm 30, I think it should be Psalm 32. No big deal I love his teachings and learned such a lot from listening to him. Hope this series will never been removed from RU-vid.

I love the psalms , study them every day. And listen to them set to music. Esther Mui, if you dont know them , look her up. They are beautiful , just as they ought to have been sung in Israel when they were written. ( not the bloodthirsty ones ). K

5:28 bottle of tears of mourning not bouquet of flowers. what a difference!!! anyone can give a bouquet of flowers. but bottle of tears can only be filled with tears of those who truly mourned. giving our tears in a bottle to god is a way of saying, god remember how much i cried over...of course god remembers everything in our lives. but david writing this is to remind us graphically of how god cares for us.

What a sympathic man. Thx

Thankyou David , now i must study you on Job and the others you mentioned. Thank God , He knows i love to study His word. K

Amazing teachings

I love Mr Pawson and so grateful for these videos. I've watched them all before and re-watching. I do have a few minor doctrinal differences with dear Mr Pawson, but nothing major. One of my biggest differences of opinion cropped up in this video and that's his view on the Sabbath. At 34:58 he says "We're not under the Sabbath law now, that's part of the Law of Moses. For us, every day is the Lord's day." Very humbly, I disagree. Mr Pawson always told us not to believe something just because he said it, but to study the Scriptures for ourselves. Now just because we're not "under the Law" doesn't mean the Sabbath is no longer relevant. When I gave my life to Jesus, the Sabbath was one of the first things He spoke to me about and urged me to change, since I was working on Saturdays. (And yes, the Sabbath is _absolutely_ Saturday, not Sunday. There isn't a word in the Bible to suggest that the day was ever changed, and even Mr Pawson affirms that the "Lord's Day" never meant Sunday, it was Domitian's annual "Lordy Day", as David puts it.) Now let's consider the Ten Commandments and their relevance to the Christian... We all know that the first 3 Commandments instruct us to love God, to have no other gods, not to commit idolatry, and to be faithful to Him and His name. Are these commandments irrelevant now? Surely they are the most important commands in the entire Bible! And since these three Commandments come first, they are the most important of all the Ten Commandments. The last six of the Ten Commandments are all about treating others well - to honour our parents, not to kill, not to steal, etc. These, too, are all highly relevant to the Christian, though less important than the earlier commandments. But right in the middle is the commandment for us to observe the Sabbath. This comes right below the commands to honor God, so we know it's important. Unlike the other commandments, the Sabbath is obviously not a moral command, Jesus said it was given for man's benefit ("the Sabbath was made for man", Mark 2:27). But it's still extremely important - so important that it's the fourth of the Ten Commandments. Why is it important? Because it keeps us healthy and well. Other laws concern our physical health (avoiding harmful food like pork etc) but the Sabbath concerns mental health, which is the most important of all. If a man doesn't rest at least one day a week then he's putting his whole mental state into disarray and heading for a life of stress and emotional imbalance. Now obviously not all of the Law of Moses is applicable to a Christian as it was in Old Testament times. An obvious example are the sacrifices, which were fulfilled by Christ's sacrifice. Nor is practical adherence to the letter of the Law mandatory for salvation. Acts 15 affirms that there are only a handful of major lifestyle rules that are absolutely mandatory to new Christians, like abstaining from sexual immorality, or eating blood. But this does not nullify the Law or make it irrelevant. God told us that we should observe all of His commands so that things will go well with us and our families and we'll live a long life (Deut 4:40). Having read that God wants us to keep the Sabbath holy, would we wish to ignore this advice? Jesus affirmed the importance of the Law of Moses, and said that any Christian who taught men to break the Law of Moses - even the least important rule - would be least in the Kingdom (Matt 5:19). Jesus certainly did not break the Sabbath. Though people may have thought he was breaking the Sabbath because He followed the law in a SPIRITUAL way, not a physical one. In the New Covenant, all the Laws of Moses take on a much fuller, broader, more spiritual meaning. So for example it used to be wrong just to murder, but for us it's wrong to WANT to murder. Likewise, the Sabbath is no longer merely about the practical, it's about the spiritual. What we physically do with our hands and bodies on the Sabbath is far less important than our MENTAL state. This means not allowing our minds to dwell on anything stressful on a Saturday. No work plans. No obligations. No appointments. Nothing which could cause any form of mental stress. This is the full and true spiritual application of the Sabbath. Like all of Jesus' commands, it's not primarily about outward changes, it's about sanctifying ourselves inwardly, changing our inner hearts and minds, after which the outside will follow naturally. So, if I no longer want to kill anyone, I'm not likely to do it. If I no longer want to think about work on the Sabbath, I'm not likely to do it. Why is it that nowhere in the Bible does God ever give us any absolute prohibitions concerning the Sabbath? No list of what is and isn't permissible? That's because the Sabbath is a spiritual state. It's not about what you do, it's about "switching off" mentally and resting in His presence. I apologise for contradicting dear Mr Pawson, whom I love. I look forward to meeting him and hope he will forgive me. But I also hope my teaching is of help to someone reading this. If anyone's interested, I have a big series of teaching videos planned, coming soon on my channel. But I've been fighting ill health - please pray for me! THANK YOU! :-)

Thanks you😇🇬🇧

Mr Pawson i just discovered ur videos. Thanks for your efforts. God bless.

Does any know where this doctors testimony is that came back to life? (reference is at the 21:00 point)

The Sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday

Where can I find the story about the doctor David talked about @19:37 ???I tried to search it but nothing came up.

My underliner , always. Thank you

35:08 true. every day is of the lord. and yet the communal day of worship and day of being with god and him being its focus is the seventh day, the only one he commanded to be observed and he blessed and set apart (from the other six days of the week in which we work and do our own thing hopefully according to god's way). the 12midnight to 12 midnight reckoning of the first day of the seven-day cycle of creation also observed by pagans is their day of worship of their local pagan gods long before jesus resurrected. note: genesis clearly sets how a day is reckoned: sunset (evening - all of night till daylight) to sunset (morning - all of daylight till sunset ).

No not trinity. The word Elohim ,although plural, can and does in this context refer to the Almighty God YHWH as being of greatness, creator of all. He takes on the plural due to his greatness. This is understood in the original Hebrew and Aramaic

35:02 what we are not under is the law of sin and death - if you sin you die - when we are in christ as he died in the stead of those who are in him. when the temple was destroyed, the daily sacrifice of all kinds were stopped. converted paul still offered sacrifices while the temple stood; paul observed the sabbath in all his missionary journeys and not only the weekly sabbath but even the annual appointed times commanded by god like the fast, the feast of unleavened bread (these are enough mentions to conclude he observed all of the lev 23 commanded appointed times -moedim); peter still kept kosher 10 years after jesus resurrected and through his life as the event in acts 10 had nothing to do with clean and unclean food but declaring gentiles as unclean.

Headline says this is about Psalm 1....it is not.

24:00

You can refer to God as love without believing in a trinity because God is love, he personifies love.

25:53 The devil himself may not have had direct relation to David, but sure there was a spirit of lust there. Satan prowls around like a roaring lion, always looking for a way in. Just like the snake in the Garden of Eden. When you hear that voice of temptation in your head you need to rebuke it. That most definitely was an unclean spirit that David fell temptation to. When you have thoughts of perversion and sin, you know you have a demon. Seek deliverance please.

34:38 the scriptural sabbath is the seventh day of the week. not the purported 1st day of the week our lord resurrected. in fact, according to matthew, jesus resurrected at the end of the seventh day towards the dawning (beginning) of the first day which is at sundown of the seventh day. even until his death, our master and redeemer observed the sabbath resting in the tomb.

2:05 jews refer to it as "praises"; the word jew means praise 2:35 shouting psalms 8:01 women more apt to use the intuitive part of the brain; that's more & more apparent. God speaks thru that intuition quite often which is somewhat strange to consider 10:01 ps 119 testimony of healing; so if one has power and is a clean pathway the Lord will likely use them. So just being more clean and more fully persuaded and filled w/ the Word are they only keys I guess there's ever been. But it seems like He selects certain ones for public ministry regardless and not others-Hes seemingly cast me aside which makes no sense to me really but not going to hell is most impt 14:01 defining yawweh as "always" bc it encompasses past present future. Incredible 19:45 tells account of surgeon reportedly raised from the dead; heard music in heaven

“It’s one of the things that Jewish mine has not been able to see yet. There is a veil there.” ie with the belief that the plural word for gods, Elohim, foreshadows the triune God of Christianity! The word, Trinity doesn’t even appear in the Bible and the idea of a triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost - - was not accepted by the sarly Christian church until 325 CE! I think it is rude, patronizing, even insulting, to make take such a cheap shot at the expense of an entire people and faith. And there are many other Christian doctrinal beliefs, I suspect, that Jews do not accept, or they would be Christians. Nor do I accept *your* interpretation of the meaning of Elohim -- your linkage to the Trinity is, like all arguments of foreshadowings (typology) , an assertion from the pulpit, from authority, and thus self-sealing. You can’t argue with it because there is no evidence for it. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, presumably, the connection will be evident. And then the others you want to make. That’s obscurantism.

33:53 According to the Talmud (Berakhot 10b), Psalm 2 is a continuation of Psalm 1 and that this psalm is messianic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_2
