The angels are completely independent creatures than men. The bible teaches Angels cannot produce offspring. Nor do the angels participate in redemption. When they followed Lucifer in the violent rebellion, put in chains and released in the moral judgements on heathen nations. The Psalmist commands God to send the avenging angel against his organized opposition. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who are in the eternal covenant with God. There are myriads of mighty angels surrounding the eternal throne of God giving Him continuous praise. Angels are ministering to the gentle saints. We take refuge in God who staunchly defends us with heavenly armies of angels. The avenging angels are gainfully employed in our lives when we are in imminent danger. The four living creatures at the Throne of God universally employ the angels to inevitably bring moral judgement on wicked nations through out the official history of the world. If the avenging angels were not controlling the terrible spread of wickedness and abuse of the united nations, dear saints would be ruined. God gave the saints eternal pronouncements to command the organized armies of heaven for adequate protection. One avenging angel has the power to instantly destroy a nuclear attack, It would be a hideous mockery to falsely suggest angels procreated in the perilous time of Cain and Seth. I've spoke Psalms for years commanding God to adequately defend me with avenging angels.

When we put the law in the environment of Book, it isn't a republic in action. It isn't the moral exercise of the will. It's pronounced by the Psalmist through curses. The law as no way given without covenant. Anytime we speak of law we must put it in the environment of covenant fastness of God. The bible doesn't describe law without covenant.What's law and covenant? It's God giving law with a pledge to perform the history of redemption on behalf of the saints. The law isn't a burden. It's a pronouncement of the curse for protection. We apply covenant law by commanding God. The inspired apostle duly applied the organic concinnity of the law by the eternal curses. He walls the noble philosophy in by the eternal curse. He condemned wicked man advising them they would suffer for making trouble in his ministry. When we stray, the law doesn't encourage us to score a better pass. It plaintively curses notorious sinners. However, we'd be unidentified with Christ, If the law didn't gasp death. This is why we're habitually in control of the law by the curses because we're always boggled in Christ by the law. It's veritably sad to read literal tutoring on sin and noway include the egregious pronouncements of the curses.
Ps 84 1 How lovely is your dwelling place,O Lord Almighty!2 My soul yearns, even faints,for the courts of the Lord;my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God."How does the Psalmist cry out? He prays according to the law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises. You see the Psalmist cries must please God.He goes to the temple to meet God. Not for any other reason. Too often we apply the gospel without wisdom. The Psalmist deals every serious issue through the pronouncements. The man who lives in the recreated reality of the Psalms rises up to the pure worship of God. He is unsatisfied unless he meets God. 4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;they are ever praising you." He compares the church to an Eagles nest. The pronouncements are net of safety. The axioms are the words of the Almighty. The church is the Father Judge. It is the place we war with the wicked world. We pronounce the law, covenants, curses, decrees and statutes to be successful in subduing that apprehending the violent man in the culture. We win the war each week by word mixed with worship. The church is the place we adjudicate our prosecution of the world. It is the dwelling place of our eternal Father who is the presiding judge. 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,they make it a place of springs;the autumn rains also cover it with pools.7 They go from strength to strength,till each appears before God in Zion."This is the typical way the Psalmist accurately describing pronouncing to undoubtedly discover sacred mystery. We vicariously experience divine mystery or the beatific vision. The loss of acute tension and the eternal presence of God. The blissful state of being instantly filled with the Spirit of extraordinary power and the organic unity of creation. We are being carefully tracked by God. 9 Look upon our shield, O God;look with favor on your anointed one.10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere;I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;the Lord bestows favor and honor;no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless." The pronouncements of the recreation are like the creation enjoying the irrigation of the sun that promotes warmth and light. We experience the divine blessing of God by controlling the world with the kings pronouncements. Our authority is as the sun shining on the earth. Super-naturalism is an organic implantation of axioms that provide eternal pronouncements to exercise kingdom authority over the earth. In these cries we protect the anointed prophet.

I am unsure about trusting these things the way we apply them. It's very confusing to apply gospel in focusing on willing and forgetting. I am not a active proponent of two line theology because it merely teaches two truths equally important.We come away with the overwhelming impression that there is no single purpose or proper direction.
The gospel unifies all necessary things, but two line creates organized chaos. My understanding of the gospel turn attention away from myself. Making these eternal truths real by genuinely believing doesn't motivate me to seek the single object of unshakable faith. But believing is applicable when Gods word is a mirror to the faithful soul. Hence,Gods word is a cause of believing. The person stands outside of himself, view himself as he is. We simply point to sacred word as our sufficient confidence.
Luther used to say if you divide him, the word of God would bleed out. If my first question was do I sincerely believe this? At that point I would start with myself. Consequently, my confidence would be based on whether I believed. But when I go to sacred word experience new creation of considerable confidence. So it's carefully looking in the objective mirror. I do not grasp who I am until I examine His word as a mirror to explain me who I am. in this sense I do not really trust in myself as pointing to my childlike trust. In forgetting myself I correctly point to His word alone and then I adequately express trust. Like a polished mirror.People that I am around get frustrated because I will say in the future I create this or that. But then when it happens they say you caused it. At that time I say no God alone through His sacred word delivered this. How can I do something beyond my initial control? I merely adopted Gods word and employed it.
Obviously this person has gone on with Christ. The truth is we cannot adequately regulate the choices of anyone in this life. But if he is delivered to the place of peace and security, Christ is pleased to shepherd them to Himself. This position in eternal heaven where blessing has been reconciled in Christ judgement.Christ will faithfully render each man graciously according to his completed works, He undoubtedly stands in genuine freedom,redeeming our considerable suffering. He indeed rules with Christ. If this is accurate why is it so difficult to reconcile divine blessing? Why are we hurt by being translated to all beloved saints who have gone on in the past? If death is the door to deliver all things together in Gods judgment, the people we depend on dwarfs our gift of eternal life.
We were developed to glorify God by enjoying Him forever.If we rise above our experiences will, take comfort in a God who makes ultimate decisions of death and life in all circumstances. Because we are inhabited by God, enjoy the fullness dwelling in us. We have ability to go beyond our experiences by rising up to line of blessing and cursing. We vicariously experience the awful judgements of God turned away from us. We are infused with the divine spirit of eternal life. Our personal struggle with self-defeating anger, consumed by Gods righteous indignation. Gods pleasure in divine judgments and generous gifts will faithfully follow us. This promise to direct us through Spirit and word will subdue the power of our Adversary. This is the guiding spirit of divine mystery.
I do not believe we vicariously experience anything emotionally, God has not ordained. Because He provides an eternal mirror which our reactions to events are magnified intensely in eternity. As we regard our emotional life, Gods judgement of time and eternity come together. The graceful thing, God delivers prayer to express emotions in His righteous alignment, mirroring Christ emotional response.
In this sense we possess a complex vision reigning with Christ in judgement. We heretofore deliver Gods judgements in the biblical pronouncements. The ultimate standard represents God dwelling in us. The extraordinary sweetness of the cross accurately represents the moral judgment faithfully rendered. We have been declared righteous.So much so, God no longer handles us as our sins deserve. Consequently, completed judgement obtains our accurate image. We are righteous because He has performed all the work to stand in completed judgement of all things. This is the genuine freedom we heartily enjoy. We pronounce the beginning from the end delivering all things into unity, exposed in the great judgement.
It is hypocritical to feel social acceptance presenting ourselves part of a local culture the way we properly dress, kinds of possible things we talk about, common-sense view to conform. Yet in a place of accurately judging the way people conducted themselves in the Old Testament culture. People merely describe as if they were more fanatical in their punitive approach than we. And yet by our own experience, typically go through our ordinary routine without much conscious thought, within these cultural norms. Seriously, with the old testament rules, as if they satisfactorily accomplish the daily task, be able to present every argument for each accomplishment. I sincerely do not think they maintained the considerable time to be as fanatical as we fondly imagine.
You know any normal person lives with a straightforward way of thinking, seldom has time to question the historical relevance of the cultural norm. They simply practiced learned behaviors explained from innocent childhood. Hence, the fanatical focus of law was practiced by the religious and political leaders in the same way our society is structured. They merely enjoyed a skilled class as we. In a classroom setting you may get away with this way of stretching the truth but not in street language vernacular.Consequently, the average citizen enjoyed the simplicity within class boundaries. They were as mortal as we! Living in grace was being able to narrow their focus on the coming Redeemer. Grace protects from being burdened by excessive rules, enjoying the same saving grace we enjoy. Lets not unduly emphasize the cultural differences, describing our personal view in an imaginative way. It sounds plausible but they were not super human. There has inevitably been a covenant community within the boundaries of humanity.
The old testament saints enjoyed the same salvation.The Psalmist teaches salvation is being adopted into the family of saints whose Father is the Judge. He promises to forget our sin. He removes our sins as far as the east is from the west.Why does the prophet seem to teach Old Testament salvation is distinct from New? If God overlooked sin, would He be unjust? A pragmatic God would alter the holy standard of law. He would not pronounce death to the specific violation what the law undoubtedly requires. The truth is if wicked man could comply with the stringent standard of law, has the ability to sufficiently advance beyond the reasonable limits of his own corruption. If man could go beyond the necessary limits, he could accurately determine an independent choice. The truth is man carefully chooses because God graciously allows and prevents. God must choose all mans choices. There is ne'er a conscious choice made in the created world of a sovereign God that does not result in blessing or cursing. But simultaneously God made us like Himself to reasonably determine graciously according to law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises. We choose according to our accurate knowledge. Since the Old Testament saints undoubtedly suffered the incomplete scripture, they lacked comprehensive understanding.But the New Testament saints are also corrupted and unable to choose independently. Therefore, God undoubtedly had to atone for the sins of youthful ignorance in the Old Testament. We can be sure God carefully marks every personal thought. He does not overlook the most minor detail in the complex history of the world. God is always justified in atoning for sin in Himself and justly punishing the sin of the wicked accordingly. He decreed all necessary things to work out according to blessing and cursing.
God made us like Himself. We are produced to be successful by acting consistently with our words. When we do not act consistently, God curses the specific violation. Why is God so harsh? Because God is remarkably simple. God is the only one who is justified in pronouncing death on sinners who violate their words. If Father did not pronounce death to unfaithful man, He would make a mockery of the faithfulness of His Son. This is why we reflect jealousy. Because we are produced to trust in other people to act consistently with their words. But how could we be consistent with Gods jealousy? How can we be righteously jealous? God desires us to approach and describe what we are experiencing. The truth is we were produced to be successful in administering the law in ideal unity of creation. We were never produced to endure opposition. When we face the violation of sinners, we become annoyed. We feel intentionally violated. The truth is we cannot completely trust man. Can suspicious sinners in comparing themselves with each other prevent the wrongful attitude of jealousy? We must carefully follow the authoritative pronouncements in becoming comfortable with divine unity over disunity. We must escape the wicked traitors. The Psalmist hides from the extensive abuse of covenant breakers by pronouncing the law, covenants, curses, decrees and promise. We must understand there are many dangerous people in this world who could intentionally injure us for life. We must faithfully follow the pronouncements to prevent the being trapped by traitors.
God faithfully carry out the law with a covenant oath. If God did not swear work out our eternal salvation in Himself, the law would be a hideous mockery. Therefore, God cannot willingly endure other gods. What did God do to prevent His chosen people from establishing other gods? He abundantly satisfied the moral law in Himself. God secured our eternal salvation by implanting law and necessary knowledge of sin to prevent us from establishing other gods. But the wicked is unable to properly honor God. They merely borrow Gods Law to represent themselves heathen god. This is why God cannot willingly allow the violent god makers ruin the gentle saints. When the inspired prophets teach God accurately represent a jealous God, defends the saints by life and death pronouncements. A jealous God has sworn to tell the truth to be faithful by acting consistently with His moral law. He staunchly defends the saints in the eternal curse of death. The truth is the glorious gospel accurately represent the applications of law, curses, decrees, statutes and promises on the secure foundation of eternal covenant in blood. We could be unfaithful if God did not back up His word with a swearing to His own hurt to perform the work necessary to make us faithful. He gave us supernatural pronouncements to prevent us from choosing to redefine His law. The Father is jealous because in producing all men, voluntarily chooses to be faithful to His sacred word in justly punishing the wicked created like Himself to adequately defend the saints. He must enact the eternal punishment on the wicked to properly honor the mutual satisfaction of His Son. God is absolutely faithful in carrying out His eternal covenant. Gods jealousy is never violated.

Our faith has only one object. That object is a person. Because we are poor and needy, exist insecurely while in this body. We experience pain of faithlessly questioning faith. It creates a crisis because we are insecure. With this war going on inside and outside pressing us to be desperate not able to grow beyond failure. What is our response to this poor state? How can we experience strength? Prove we are devoted to the object of our faith with a confidence welling in us. We fluctuate in our confidence, left to cry out to Him all day long.
Our faith is our devotion, have no confidence to gain mercy unless we seek it all day long. We are led astray. He must be all or not at all. Our sincere devotion is to sufficiently rest with Him. Our devotion is only experienced when we are completely convinced unless we retain all of Him we are most miserable. After our apparent helplessness wants to vicariously experience the joy of the Holy Spirit. We genuinely want the joy of the Lord focused on Christ, crying out for divine mercy.
Christ is the eternal God. He caused us to close with Him as our only devoted object.
Our experience of being poor and needy is a blessing as fallen sinners.
We are easily led to believe something in us is good enough to merit
His love. But He is eternal, beyond our ability to be faithful. We rest in Christ faithfulness. Our devotion is dependent on being loving, faithful, and full of mercy. The object of our faith makes the experience sweet. The devoted connection we have in His bigness connected by His love felt in us. His devoted covenant that prevents us hungering for more of Him.
Presently we recognize unless we experience Him our faith will only be dulled. Unless we meditate on His love and faithfulness we will only be dulling our passionate devotion.We experience a deep devotion resting in His word. There is never a wearing out of devotion. His genuine love is eternal, faithful ever expanding, as far as the east is from the west. His word is alive, always a present comfort in time of need.His prudent counsel is new every lovely morning. He befalls our friend standing with us in the midst of constant derision. He is so genuine there is habitually a third person in all relationships. Absolutely, resting in His presence, enjoying Him surrounding us, sensing Him near, drawing out of us a devotion of a friend.
We implore Him to provide a sign of His goodness. We absolutely believe Him to be all our devoted friend in all circumstances. His effective way of adequately communicating faithfulness. A friend controls our circumstances. Our sincere devotion to Him naturally goes beyond any private person. We are devoted to Him pervading all of our experience. We nothing but follow Him, plead with Him, explore the joy of salvation in Him. We can be absolutely assured what is unseen will be made manifest to those around us. Our eternal advocate will manifest Himself on our behalf displayed by eternal devotion alive in His ardent devotion.
I have been naturally thinking about social integration. It is not evil but what man undoubtedly does with evil. Taking the parts, uniting them. Their philosophy of integration blossomed over the successful years. There is an moral evil in this. At this point people unite to construct integration. Various jobs all unite to develop the project. One language is the key to integration. The parts together in unity. We have areas in our culture. Integrated personalities, philanthropy, churches remain the modern movement. It has been an extended road to this problem.
A cumulative effect starts with denying the existence of God. A power of unity in integration swallows people as if a ship was sinking. The superior force of the ships descent into the boundless ocean dragged defenseless people from the surface. Social integration has undoubtedly become a life form. The possible origins of this organizational philosophy are of mans invention. From the fall man retained this power to deny the existence of God, forming a garden paradise of his own.
The moral blindness to think properly, naturally begins to adequately
develop integrated processes placing himself at the social center of his
ideal world. He establishes his kingdom so people unite around him. The complex system of thinking in arrogant deception of cause and effect. In denying God, deny the specific process of cause and effect. The integrated philosophy of pragmatism is what works best, in our cultur,e finding unity by denying cause and effect.
Enable me to explain about the psalms and the extraordinary power of the word. There was a extremely ugly thought running through my conscious mind. These were worse than any sin, were the spring board of inordinate anger toward God. Mixed with the negative thoughts of why pray? This was a historical struggle than lust!It aggressively attacked my fervency and merely made me complacent. It inadvertently caused me to resignation mode of thinking. The fond hope of the Spirit was replaced by anger. It was because of the unfortunate circumstances, setting into my critical disposition. The anger was relentlessly attacking spiritual wholeness. When I meditated in a few psalms, enjoyed the word directing my spirit had accepted. From a weakened state of an unfortunate lack of personal awareness in my wicked heart to deep awareness. These psalms intentionally altered my magnificent view of God, specific circumstances and penetrated the profound depths of my heart. I was in a state of peace conveying ultimate assurance. It was a heavenly, eternal transformation.
The
Old Testament Law was unequal. It typically commanded voluntary
socialism. We must not put our American pragmatism into the Old
Testament text. For the church to be an invisible player in the downfall
of society would represent God a noble mystical spirit in the sky. God
created real material objects and historical observant authority. Every
evil represents not the spirit of Satan that causes suffering.It is
corrupt men who redefine Gods government established by law. God judges
evil by, every grand scheme devised in the wicked heart of man.It is not
a moral universe of two opposing truths that cannot be reconciled.
Immorality is the misuse of the law. Real leaders who exercise abusive
authority over the powerless. It is not mediated by the willingness to
gifts or withhold. Personal morality is judged if the law establishes
righteousness or injustice. I don't follow a religious leader merely
describes the law as if he remains a financial adviser. The leader is
not a financial adviser but an relentless advocate. He is responsible to
carefully make moral judgements on redefined law.

Psalm 1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;it is fitting for the upright to praise him.2 Praise the Lord with the harp;make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre." The theme of this Psalm is a person who pronounces understands unity and symmetry. The learned profession of carefully manipulating the law, covenants, curses, decrees statutes and promise is like fitting the stone on the ring. We argue for unity and symmetry by the axioms that fits every circumstance in our lives. We naturally learn the effective communication that commands God to work graciously according to the axioms.
33 3 Sing to him a new song;play skillfully, and shout for joy." God created all things with complete diversity to work in perfect unity.Every minute that passes is original. God does not work through an automated process. This is why He communicated language to establish a unique circumstance. We command God to design our future by the axioms of a renewed day put together by God according to the pronouncements. Our authentic experiences are like contemporary songs.
33 4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;he is faithful in all he does.5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;the earth is full of his unfailing love." God is always justified by pronouncing the law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises bringing blessing and cursing together. The successful application in authoritative pronouncements is the only arguments that produce unity and continuous symmetry. Gods axioms are applied to our lives providing for our needs and recreating the unique circumstance.
33 6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made,their starry host by the breath of his mouth.7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;he puts the deep into storehouses." If Gods axioms are gainfully employed by God to conceive and sustain the eternal heavens, you genuinely think you can control the authoritative pronouncements? God reasonable pronounces eternal commands to govern the universe. God gave us eternal pronouncements beyond our control. We are employing creative and supernatural words.
33 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;let all the people of the world revere him.9 For he spoke, and it came to be;he commanded, and it stood firm." This is the Psalmist typical summons in pronouncing the axioms for the unified world to stop and listen. You properly understand he is pronouncing effective control over the earth?God pronounces into independent existence and commands it to be sustained. We are producing supernatural experiences and commanding unity and symmetry.
33 10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,the purposes of his heart through all generations." After pronouncing and summoning the earth, he gets really animated and commands the independent nations of the earth. The law and curses will foil your opposition!The axioms cannot be adequately controlled by time and space.
33 18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.20 We wait in hope for the Lord;he is our help and our shield.21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you" The axioms faithfully recreate the cultural unity and continuous symmetry of the Nation. Pronouncing leads to mystery. The unfailing love of eternal rest or no tension is resting on Gods people. The eternal pronouncements cannot be thwarted by time and space. We pronounce the effective recreation. Manipulating the law, covenants, curses, decrees and promises create unity.

PS 60 1 You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us;you have been angry--now restore us!2 You have shaken the land and torn it open;mend its fractures, for it is quaking." Gods anger is consistently expressed in terrible disasters of creation. The Psalmist is pronouncing the eternal curses of accurate recreation. My plea is secured by life and death pronouncements in describing the earth quake developing cracks to swallow the opposition. God must miraculously restore the nation by carefully securing the abundant blessing and cursing together.
60 3 You have shown your people desperate times;you have given us wine that makes us stagger.4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.Selah" God naturally gave us a self-attesting gospel. If we carefully apply the everlasting gospel in law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises, we will not turn the understandable anger on ourselves and gain relief through lifelong addictions. God gave us the banner of an effective army to efficiently eliminate our opposition by pronouncing the curses.
60 5 Save us and help us with your right hand,that those you love may be delivered." God carefully applies the law, covenant, curses, decrees, statutes, and promises in our adequate defense. He merely describes the wicked bring shame into the private lives of the gentle saints. God resolutely defends us with a good report. But He merely describes the wicked as spreading violence and spying on the righteous. God always defends the preserved remnant.
60 6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:"In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;Ephraim is my helmet,Judah my scepter.8 Moab is my washbasin,upon Edom I toss my sandal;over Philistia I shout in triumph."9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?" The Psalmist is teaching the cities with men, and weapons are controlled by God. The local population and the local city governments are in Gods hand. Elected leaders are useless. If God does not respond, Israel will be prevented.
60 10 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?11 Give us aid against the enemy,for the help of man is worthless.12 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. "Have you ever looked up to God and said with a stern voice. "The help of man is worthless?" If you have not, you are making idols of powerless sinners who slant the truth for their purposes. The pronounced curse is developing real convictions by the obnoxious attitude of the pride of man.
Ps 54 1 Save me, O God, by your name;vindicate me by your might.2 Hear my prayer, O God;listen to the words of my mouth."The Psalmist is teaching in pronouncing law, covenants,curses, decrees, statutes and promises over many years we establish a culture of unity. He passionately defends the pronounced culture by vindicating himself against the organized opposition who inaccurately describes the Psalmist scarcely understanding the authoritative pronouncements. The Psalmist fights war of words against unjustified men in their attempts to create an evil image of him.
54 3 Strangers are attacking me;ruthless men seek my life--men without regard for God." The Psalmist precisely defines the organized opposition who practice ra a. The wicked sin of overturning everything good in society. Every man is naturally schooled in merely defending and falsely accusing others according to their political view of life. We are in a political war against the critical communication of wicked men. We engage in the war, by pronouncing. We discern their intentions by pronouncing. We do not argue. We pronounce life and death.
54 4 Surely God is my help;the Lord is the one who sustains me.5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me;in your faithfulness destroy them." We inevitably encounter men who actively undermine our sacred causes. The world is forcing us in their mold by violent threats and nefarious schemes. It is impossible to reason with violent men who merely speak against the axioms. We must pronounce the eternal curses and overturn their inciting war by arbitrarily defining of us. If we are in conflict with men who persistently deny the authoritative pronouncements, it will alert us to their malicious intentions.
54 6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;I will praise your name, O Lord,for it is good.7 For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes." He is carefully teaching our wisdom, military strategy, modern weapons and specific threats are of no moral value. God uses His pronouncements to eliminate our opposition. We peacefully exercise free will by the authoritative pronouncements.

Psalms 35 1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;fight against those who fight against me.2 Take up shield and buckler;arise and come to my aid.3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me.Say to my soul,"I am your salvation."Salvation represents a relationship with a Father- Judge. We learn to intentionally walk in the Christian life by fighting with the authoritative pronouncements. God executed law, covenants curses, decrees, statutes and promises in command form. We command the eternal covenant recognizing God. We command the spiritual forces who fight for us. Because God faithfully performed all the completed work, we depend on His familiar voice of eternal salvation. In overcoming tremendous opposition by commanding God we go from one deliverance to another.
35 4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.5 May they be like chaff before the wind,with the angel of the Lord driving them away;" God delivers us by confronting and overcoming impossible opposition. Moreover frequently the gentle saint genuinely wants to look morally capable. But the saint must command respect by pronouncing judgements for all to see. Gods prophets are justly feared. There is nothing wrong with being adamantly rejected for Christ. We enjoy unlimited protection with promises in severe consequences of Gods judgements. We must get respect first through the pronouncements.

8 may ruin overtake them by surprise--may the net they hid entangle
them,may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.9 Then my soul will
rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation.10 My whole being will
exclaim,"Who is like you, O Lord?You rescue the poor from those too
strong for them,the poor and needy from those who rob them."We must draw
the line and sternly command the overwhelming victory. The natural man
is an political expert in manipulating penal law. But we must understand
when we draw the line, we find we are challenged. This is why the
Psalmist pronounces the eternal curses.The natural man will be obstinate
to his own hurt. The gentile saints are always locking horns with men
who test the pronouncements.
35 11 Ruthless witnesses come forward;they question me on things I know nothing about.12 They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn.13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting." The Psalmist is not arguing for childlike innocence. He is drawing the line by a personal offense. If we do not draw the line, we will never be forlorner. He is cursing because he is forlorner. We need standing when we experience opposition. The dear saint is a tester of possible abuse. We solely measure the ordinary experience in how we are handled by men.
35 10 My whole being will exclaim,"Who is like you, O Lord?You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,the poor and needy from those who rob them."The law, covenants, curses, decrees, promise, statutes and decrees are pronounced as the line we draw. The professional understands the clear lines by a constant pronouncing. Pronouncing is learning to identify the error. If a saint does not quite understand the bold lines God draws, he will not defend the absolutes. When we develop judgments by relating to each other by pragmatism, we do not maintain convictions. The Psalmist goes through years of wrestling and conflict to hold the line. This is why he vicariously experiences the whole being will say "Who is like you O Lord." We must willingly endure many accusations to maintain the clear lines.
35 15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;attackers gathered against me when I was unaware.They slandered me without ceasing.16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;they gnashed their teeth at me." You see the opposition is not interested in getting resolution. They are obstinate. How many lines are drawn by the curse? One. This is why the Psalmist speaks the eternal curses. Because God sets the standard that cannot be crossed. We must carefully avoid sitting comfortably with scoffers.
35 17 O Lord, how long will you look on?Rescue my life from their ravages,my precious life from these lions." Learning the eternal truth is more than repeating a qualified teacher. It is wrestling in pronouncing the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. It is pronouncing until we uncover the hidden error of teaching. The Psalmist will endure accusations, misunderstanding, and a concerted effort of opposition to be correct. Most of our problems are not about forgiveness or connection. We do not quite appreciate the seriousness of maintaining sincere convictions. We alter our lines. The Psalmist spends years establishing his lines in the culture.
35 18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;among throngs of people I will praise you.19 Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause;let not those who hate me without reason.maliciously wink the eye.20 They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land."The Psalmist is teaching he must be successful in establishing the axioms in the local culture. He will fight doggedly with the authoritative pronouncements of death. Because the axioms faithfully preserve lasting peace in the world. If the Psalmist loses, the social world will break out into considerable violence. He will pronounce until he wins his persuasive arguments.
35 21 They gape at me and say, "Aha! Aha!With our own eyes we have seen it."22 O Lord, you have seen this; be not silent.Do not be far from me, O Lord.23 Awake and rise to my defense!Contend for me, my God and Lord."We must develop certain conviction as lines that cannot be crossed. These moral convictions are sufficiently developed by life and death pronouncements. We constructively engage the effective communication a war to subdue the formidable enemy. We cannot lose the civil war.
35 24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, O Lord my God;do not let them gloat over me.25 Do not let them think, "Aha, just what we wanted!"or say, "We have swallowed him up."26 May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion;may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace." We are easily persuaded by accusations. God produced men to relate by administering law. Without the application of law, man would be dumb and mute. We are wrestling to enforce the law according to the axioms. The axioms are sworn covenant words. We defend the axioms in the same way we fight in bodily wars.
35 27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness;may they always say, "The Lord be exalted,who delights in the well-being of his servant."28 My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long." The man who is a profession in manipulating the law, covenants,curses, decrees,statutes and promises is recreating unity in the world. We cannot create disunity because our conviction is enforced by the curses. I always used to say if you are not part of the solution your the problem. We are always meticulous in quelling all opposition. The early bird always gets the worm.
