David’s Sacrifice
Wikipedia
the Temple Mount was originally a threshing-floor owned by Araunah, a Jebusite.
The prophet Gad suggested the area to King David as a fitting place for the erection of an altar to Yawheh, since a destroying angel was standing there when God stopped a great plague in Jerusalem.[131]

Summary:
A leader’s repentance can stop the damage even if it does not heal the loss.
Spiritual law is universal
· God’s Law applies to all – no respecter of persons
· Ignorance of God’s Law is no excuse –
· Personal ignorance does not exempt one from either the blessings of obeying God’s Law or the curse from disobeying God’s Law
Spiritual Laws to Remember
· Good is holy
· No matter who is in charge on earth, God never changes His standards from Heaven.
Four parties are involved.
Person
His responsibility
His reason
Israel
Sinned against God
Unknown – doesn’t matter
God
He incited David
Righteous anger against Israel
Satan
He incited David
Hatred of God’s people
David
He decided to take a military census
Pride or lack of trust in God
National sin removes God’s hand of protection from that nation
Sin gives the enemy opportunity to attack.
Stirred up.
Instigated.
Agitated.
Incited.
influences do not relieve a person of moral obligation.
Everyone is responsible for his own choices.
Authority Requires Responsibility
· Flows – head down
Pride – Opens the Door to Sin
King David is the perfect example that pride can happen to anyone
Classic story – got too big for his britches, like his predecessor
When David was an unknown teenage shepherd boy, he leaned on God to defeat Goliath, even though there was an army present.
When David became the most powerful king in the world, he leaned on his army rather than God for protection.
David Spied out his own land
Too Big for britches.
David Pat self on back.
Don’t ever put too much trust in man.
1.3 million army.
3,000 years ago.
Same as USA Today.
A leader’s decisions affect all those below him/her
Whether that person is leader of a country, company, family or ministry
Examples:
· Country – a country that passes a law contrary to God’s Word will suffer the repercussions of that law –
o president signing an executive order that is against God’s Word,
o congress passing an ungodly bill to become an ungodly law for all citizens to obey,
o a Supreme Court decision that rules against the statutes of God’s Word.
· Company policy – ungodly policy opens the door of curse upon them -
· Family by ungodly example – do as I say, even if it contradicts the Word.
· Ministry – ungodly teaching, heresy, doctrines, traditions of men
· Personal decisions
Selected – choices have consequences
Spiritual - root cause
Plague - like Passover.
They now knew better
A spiritual condition cannot be treated with natural means
Examples,
· Ills of the body - some ills are spiritual, not medical in nature.
Cannot treat a demon with medicine.
· Ills of society – hatred can only be cured by a change of heart, more than a change of mind.
· Man’s human nature naturally tries to rehabilitate through positive thinking and education, but true revival can only come but a new spiritual heart.
Sin is the Root Cause of Calamity
· even Joab knew – Balaam’s donkey – obvious
Sacrifice Requires Seriousness and Sorrow
– situation = curse
· Serious conditions cannot be ignored or excused – it will only get worse until dealt with
Conscience does not bother end time leaders.
Hard hearted Hard headed.
Follow the science as long as it agrees..
Follow the constitution as long as it pleases.
This is why we need revival!
To change the hearts of leadership
Sin Demands a Sentence
· = Punishment
· God is not mocked – we reap what we sow
Personal responsibility- David did not shift blame
