Summary

Although known for his rise from ruddy shepherd boy to great king of Israel, the special nature of David’s relationship with God shines past his accomplishments. In his 15-part series A Heart for God, Dr. Michael Youssef takes an extensive look at the highs and lows of David’s life, showing you the power of a life surrendered to God. As you discover the grander picture of David’s life, you’ll also see how it all points to Jesus, the perfect King who works through broken people with willing hearts.

0:00.0	And the last message, I concluded by quoting verse 14, day after day, Saul searched for David,
0:11.5	but God did not give David into his hands. Today we see David again having the upper hand. He's got the upper hand now, and he could
0:25.2	kill soul, but he refused to do it. Again, you ask why? Because when your heart is after
0:34.1	God's, I'm not saying you're perfect, neither at David. But when your heart is turned
0:39.4	and bent toward God, you will not take revenge. Beloved, don't ever think that I do not understand
0:47.1	the temptation of lashing out. I know the temptation of taking revenge. It is very hard not to feel resentment when somebody
0:56.8	caused you pain and abuse and suffering. It is very hard. It is very difficult when you are treated
1:03.0	unfairly without becoming angry. It's so hard. And I can tell you this. On your own, you could never fight it. In your own, you could never fight it, in your own you could never win,
1:14.2	on your own you can never have victory, but with God you can do the impossible.
1:21.5	I also want to testify to you because when you lean on God in these situations,
1:30.7	he will grow you out of these circumstances,
1:37.2	out of these difficulties. When you lean on God, he will cause you victory over your pain.

1:59.9	Jesus, the son of David, knew he was destined to the throne of the
2:06.8	universe from which he came. He knew that it's his destination. And Satan in the wilderness gave him
2:14.7	a short cut that he can take that throne. But Jesus wouldn't touch it
2:20.4	because Jesus knew that reaching the throne of the universe is going to come by way of the cross.
2:28.8	Jesus knew that his throne is going to come in God's perfect timings.
2:34.6	And that's when people say, you do this, once you do this, or once you go here.
2:38.0	And the Bible said, he knew that that's not the hour yet.
2:41.8	And when the hour came in, you said, the hour is now.
2:44.5	He knew it.
