After the Dust Settles

2 Samuel 16:5–14 NKJV

5 Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came. 6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 7 Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: “Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue! 8 The Lord has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the Lord has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!” 9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!” 10 But the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David.’ Who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’ ” 11 And David said to Abishai and all his servants, “See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the Lord has ordered him. 12 It may be that the Lord will look on my affliction, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing this day.” 13 And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust. 14 Now the king and all the people who were with him became weary; so they refreshed themselves there.

After the Dust Settles

Doesn’t matter how it seems now…

I’ve got to tell you that the enemy that’s throwing dust into your

It does not matter

I want to assure you in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord that the dust will settle

The only thing that it takes to settle dust is a little rain…

For God to open up the heavens and let the rain begin to fall…

I don’t know about you but I feel the rain…

Psalm 3:2–8 NKJV

2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah 3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. 4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around. 7 Arise, O Lord; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah

They may throw rocks at you…

They may cast dust at you…

But when the dust settles whatever God said… is what is going to be!

I don’t know who I’m talking to today but

Somebody has had some rocks thrown at them.

Somebody has had some rocks thrown at them on their job.

Somebody’s been cursed in their neighborhood.

But when they get threw throwing rocks…

The dust is going to settle on the ground…

After while the curse words are going to disappear into the air…

And when the dust settles,,,

Everything that God said concerning you is going to come to pass.

I wish you’d tell somebody…

Don’t worry about the dust blowing

Don’t worry about the rocks being thrown

When the dust settles

Your going to be where God said you’d be…

Romans 16:17–20 NKJV

17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Tell somebody “It wont be long”

Whirlwinds

That Dust Devil

If you stop him… You’ll stop the dust

And the same devil… Paul said, “It won’t be long” v20

I feel the dust settleing now…

(13) And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

(14) And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.

Told about Bro Andrew Urshan, Nathaniel Urshan and how God used circumstances to make Bro Andrew Urshan such a bold witness. How God promptd Nathaniel Urshan to meet with Yasser Arafat, and how Bro. Urshan took a hit for meeting with a terrorist , but years later when our pastors in Bethlehem were under threat with a bounty on thier heads, he was able to meet with Bill Clinton who would agree to speak to Mr. Arafat at Camp David. Arafat remembered him and said he is my friend. He helped them get out to safety.
