The Relevance of Psalms Today
Psalm 6 (part 3)
We can surmise from the tone of this Psalm that this was a very dark and agonizing place for David. The afflictions of the enemy were severe and David’s cries were filled with the pain of his physical condition and the emptiness of his soul. For those reading this post that are in this place know without a shadow of a doubt that our God hears your cry and will answer in a miraculous way.
“Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; the Lord will receive my prayer.”
The Lord heard David’s cry and the presence of Holy Spirit returned. David felt in his body and soul the power of the Lord and with a loud voice cried out “Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; We know that this is the Spirit of God speaking through David because we read in Matthew 7:23 these same words being spoke by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All those demonic forces that were afflicting him had to flee. They are defeated by to powerful presence of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God brings both spiritual and physical healing.
“The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.”
The Lord not only heard David’s cry, but He heard his prayer and receive his prayer. This passage indicates that there are some prayers God will not heard or receive. These prayers are from those who have not confessed their sins. Confession is so important it closes the door on Satan and opens the heart of God.
“Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.”
David’s request was that the tables be turned. He had been shamed and physical vexed by his enemies. He prayed that their affliction of him would return on them. Was David’s prayer according to God will? We see this theme throughout Psalms. For example Psalm 10:2 says, “The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined” and Psalm 25:3 states, “Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.” I heard someone ask, were can this principle be found in the New Testament. I am so glad you asked. Again David understood an established principle of God’s that cannot be altered. Galatians 6:7 states, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” This principle also applies to us saints.
God still requires us to forgive our enemies. Which is the most powerful weapon God has given us to defeat the enemy, but I digress. The reaping is God department, forgiving the person is our department.
In this Psalm David found himself in a very dark and agonizing place because of his sin. My brothers and sisters we are not exempted from this place. We need to learn from David and confess our sins. If you are not sure what the sin is ask God. His Holy Spirit will reveal it to you. Agree with God. Confess your sin and receive your healing.
Because of the finish work of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit that reside in us, we are able to take authority over the enemies that afflict us. However, confess of our sins must come first.
Join us next time as we begin our study in Psalm 7.
