josephprince.com david was now king
after years of wandering being
persecuted hunted down like a partridge
being chased around like a criminal now
he's king he's seated on his throne king
Saul who persecuted him has died david
has a relationship with Jon Jonathan
Saul's son they made a covenant where
they shed blood which means all that
David has belongs to Jonathan all that
Jonathan has belongs to David they are
covenant brothers but Jonathan died to
his father King Saul on Mount Gilboa and
I've been to Mount Gilboa my my my
pastors and myself we walked that
mountain range and and I would see you
know traces of the war taking place down
there and I'll just imagine was it here
was it there that Jonathan died that
that Saul
died well David is now king and David
looked at the scar on his hand on his
wrist and this is what David said then
the king said "Is there not still
someone of the house of Saul to whom I
may show the kindness of God?" Now this
word kindness of God kindness is the
word which today when you go to Israel
the believers in Israel the Jewish
believers their New Testament wherever
it says grace in the New Testament it is
all
hassid to whom from the house of Saul
david David's heart david look at at the
sky and he remembered Jonathan from the
house of Saul and I want you to see a
picture here because you know Jesus
shared in the road of Emmas that
everything in the Bible is all about him
so let's see this beautiful parable who
is David david is a picture of God who
is Yonathan jonathan yonathan in Hebrew
means the gift of God it's a picture of
Jesus Christ who died and rose again
hallelujah jonathan did not but Jesus
did always the the the type cannot
compare to the antitype but the the
story is there so David is like God and
God has a covenant with Jesus
Jonathan from the house of Saul humanity
house of flesh all of us come from the
house of flesh amen so the thing is that
if God makes a covenant with men
directly many of us think that even the
new covenant is a covenant between God
and ourselves no it's not if it's you
it' be broken before this day is over if
it's me it'll be broken before noon
so it cannot be man will be the weak
link so God cut a covenant with a man
yes but the perfect man our Lord Jesus
god cut a covenant with Jesus are you
listening god cut a covenant with the
Lord Jesus who represent men so based on
two
infallible powers or personal God
cutting a covenant with the perfect man
Jesus Christ so it's David Jonathan are
you listening from Jonathan is from the
house of Saul the house of flesh jesus
came the word became
flesh do you know that that Jesus is
actually before he came as a baby do you
know that he was actually exalted in
heaven do you know that he is he's
glorified he's Would you like to see
Jesus in heaven before he came as a baby
isaiah I'm going prove to you that it's
referring to Jesus but first let's read
Isaiah 6 in the year that King Uzziah
died I saw the Lord say the Lord Jehovah
in in the Hebrew sitting on a throne
high and lifted up and the train of his
robe filled the temple above it stood
saraphim each one had six wings with two
he covered his face with two he covered
his feet with two he flew and one cried
to another and said "Holy holy holy is
the Lord of hosts the whole earth is
full of his glory." Now go to John 12
talking about Jesus john 12 these things
Isaiah said when Isaiah saw his glory
and spoke of him and if you read the
reference in John 12 is referring to
Isaiah 6
the same Jesus is the one who is who
who's seated in glory in heaven that
even the saraphim veil their faces and
cry holy holy
holy too glorious too too
too bright for any creature gaze this is
our Lord Jesus in heaven but he set
aside all that glory and came
down into the womb of a lowly maiden a
virgin by the name of Mary born in a
illreute town Nazareth that's why they
say "Can anything good come out of
Nazareth?" Nazareth was the the busy
area where caravans and all that going
from the south to the north and north to
the south will always stop over and is
known for its illreute reputation so
when someone says you are a Nazarene
it's always something bad today is
something
wonderful he was born
there and he
moved in a lowly way this is the one
that Isaiah saw isaiah saw his glory
cleanse the
leper unstopped deaf years those who
were ma he made
whole healed the blind i'm the lame and
make them walk again this Jesus glorious
Jesus and gave himself finally to wicked
men scourged by men spat upon delivered
to the Jewish high priest Caiaphas then
delivered to the gentile ruler Pilate
and this same Jesus is the one that
Isaiah saw that saraphims veiled their
faces and the word became flesh and
dwelt among us
isn't it amazing i love it i love it i
love
it so David represents God jonathan is
Jesus representing men from the house of
Saul jonathan died david says "Is there
anyone I can show the of God?" And Zea
said to the king "There is still a son
of Jonathan who is lame in his feet."
Now this boy ever since he was young
when they heard Jonath uh Saul died on
Mount Gilboa the whole family said "Now
David's going to kill us because David
is next in line." So they said that and
and Saul has been persecuting David now
David is going to kill us so the the the
maid carried the child she fell broke
the child's legs he never recovered from
and poor Mafib the son of Jonathan
became
lame and all of us have been dropped in
our lives might not remember that times
that we were dropped but you know
something the sons of Adam all have
fallen short of the glory of God so God
is saying "Is there anyone?" Imagine
everyone out there in the world they
need to hear that God is asking "Is
there anyone I can show kindness to is
there anyone I can show grace to anyone
from the human race is there anyone my
heart is so full is there anyone?" And
Zeba says "There's one." Jonathan Se has
one son he's lame in his feet and the
king said "Where is he?" Zeba says to
the king "Indeed he's in the house of
Makir the son of Am in Lord Dar." Davar
is God's word he also means pasture law
means no a place of no word from God a
place of no pasture what a place to be
that's humanity they try to cover
themselves with city blocks and all that
kind of thing they try to cover himself
and pet themselves a lot of modern
things but inside they're empty lord
Davar there is no word there is no
pasture he leads you beside the still
waters means you lie down in green
pastures then David
says "Go fetch him." There David sent
and brought him out of the house of
Makir the son of Am from Lord Bach can
you imagine the first time this young
man heard the horses coming and realized
it's David's
man is your name Matthew Bosef
yes follow
me follow all the way to David's palace
now when Mafibbos the son of Jonathan
the son of Saul had come to David he
fell on his face and prostrated himself
then David said "Mephibf," he answered
"Here is your
servant." David said to him "Do not
fear." Ah the first word from the mouth
of God to any sinner that comes to him
is don't be
afraid you know people say pastor Prince
you must preach more on the fear of God
you know something if God appears
tonight in any
nightclub what is the
response
amazing grace forget it
i'm asking you what do you think will be
the response if God appears to the
greatest hardcore sinner in his bedroom
tonight he would
tremble he probably wet his bed the
first response to God in the Bible
anyone is Monoa Samson's father all the
people that met even an angel from
heaven they're all fearful that the
heavenly messenger must always say
"Don't be afraid."
So you want me to teach the fear of God
when naturally people are afraid of God
with the wrong kind of fear now I do
teach the fear of the Lord that is New
Testament fear but there's another
message alto together I covered on some
of that recently
but people instinctively fear God what
they don't understand is God's love
do not fear Matthew Boschf do not fear
for I will surely not maybe I will
surely show you kindness for Jonathan
your father's sake and God is saying men
I will surely show you grace is
kindness for Jesus' sake

josephprince.com no one likes delay
amen we don't like to wait so why why
does God make us wait we ask the
question how come the manifestation has
not yet come pastor Prince I see people
getting their answers i see even
unbelievers getting their manifestation
but when is mine coming all right by the
grace of God I want to answer that
question today because I think that's
where people people live
[Music]
the devil will turn your times of delay
all right of non-manifestation into
times of questioning God now Jesus loved
Martha and her sister and Lazarus now
what what a strange thing you know is
that this guy is dying all right and
they told Jesus about it and the Bible
says "Now Jesus loved Martr and her
sister and Lazarus."
Watch this so when he heard that he was
sick he stayed two more days in the
place where he was the reason he stayed
is because he heard that now do you see
that so far whatever the he's delaying
for he's delaying because he loved
Martha Mary and Lazarus because he loved
he delayed
[Music]
so if there's a delay somewhere God will
compensate god will restore
plus with revelation that your friends
who have it earlier never had we have a
covenant base on the superior blood of
our Lord Jesus Christ how much more can
you be kept alive and well amen yes
there is a delay but God will restore
that with a lot of blessings added to it
and revelation of the Lord like no one
else would
