SECRETS OF A GOD CHASER
This is everything! The passion, the pain, the frustration...the raw seek and undying love without inhibition of a God Chaser...seeking His face like never before!
DANIEL 2:22 &47
HE REVEALETH THE DEEP AND SECRET THINGS: HE KNOWETH WHAT IS IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE LIGHT DWELLETH WITH HIM.
THE KING ANSWERED UNTO DANIEL, AND SAID, OF A TRUTH IT IS, THAT YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF GODS, AND A LORD OF KINGS, AND A REVEALER OF SECRETS, SEEING THOU COULDEST REVEAL THIS SECRET. 
   Matthew 10:26
fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
what i tell you in darkness, that speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

TURMOIL IN THE HOUSEHOLD

​The people of God chose a king though Christ desired to be their king and so it was the Lord said He would establish his throne in David. David was after God’s own heart but He sinned against the Lord by taking the wife of Uriah unto himself. The Lord sent the prophet Nathan to show his sin and pronounced that the sword would not depart from his household. Years later we see Tamar raped by her own brother Amnon and because of David’s own sin he doesn’t handle the situation with Tamar. Her brother Absolom took her into his home because of the shame. Absolom was angered with the injustice on the king’s part. He had the ability to handle the situation with Amnon and get justice for Tamar but he did not. His father was a king, a mighty warrior, but as a father David was passive toward his responsibility toward his own children. I believe this was because he felt guilt and shame for his own sin which caused these circumstances to come upon his household. We saw David eager and zealous to fast and pray on behalf of his dying son he had with Bathsheba but once his son died he moved on. We don’t see the same passionate petitions to the Lord on behalf of his children like it was in the beginning. It’s as if he lacked zeal because of his sin toward the Lord and that those things that happened with his family were simply consequences that he had to endure.
 However, Absolom was a goodly son and was handsome, a king’s child. However, after experiencing injustice on behalf of his sister Tamar, a king’s daughter, whom he loved, he took initiative to get justice himself instead of surrendering to God and making his own petition to the Lord for his sister’s sake. There is a wrong way to do right. Absolom in his anger decided to go around his father who was being passive in the situation and devised a plot to kill his own brother. Then in the same passion he decided he wants to make sure others get the justice they deserve. He didn’t trust that his father, the king, could fairly judge being that he wouldn’t do it for his own daughter. So Absolom thought he could do a better job in judging the people. He began to stand in the gate giving counsel to the people in need thinking that in his zeal that he could help get judgment more fair than his father the king, David. We know how the account goes where the son attempts to overthrow the Kingdom of God moving against David.
These events were all initiated with the sin of covetous practices with David but could have been avoided with effective communication…prayer…petitioning.
II SAM 12:8
And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and…if that had been too little, I would have given unto thee such and such things.
So that we know that all David had to do was ask his father and it would have been granted. David didn’t communicate his desires with the Lord. He simply took what he wanted and when the Lord allowed some kinks to surface in the plan to create a way of escape for him David chose to manipulate the situation to work in his favor by putting Uriah on the front line. Amnon took his sister. He, too, didn’t make a petition, He didn’t seek the Lord to deliver him from improper desires. He created a plan involving manipulation to get what his flesh desired. Though Absolom wanted righteousness to be done on his sister’s behalf , he eliminated to spirit of God in the situation. He manipulated the situation by inviting all of his brother’s into his plot to kill even if it were for the sake of righteousness. The Lord Jesus Christ must be in the midst. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He will repay. You seek. You sup. Christ will give the increase. You cannot stop trusting in the Lord to fight your battles. Keep praying. Keep praising. The enemy is ever present trying to create circumstances where you will to choose to handle things on your own instead of praying, watching, and trusting. Don’t be cheated out of your blessings because of effectively communicating with the Lord about your situation. Christ desires for the church to be more like David in a way that David recognized his weaknesses as being created by God but he made Christ the source of his strength through every situation and every circumstance. We no longer have to live with guilt and shame because Christ has already paid. However, we still strive for righteousness to give God the glory. Do not give up petitioning just because of sin. Don’t let ineffective communication shut you out of the Kingdom.
