Leaving Matters with God

- www.truthforlife.org || By: Alistair Begg - (1 Samuel 24) David’s path to the throne certainly wasn’t a straight line! Nonetheless, he resisted the temptation to grab for himself what God alone could give. Rather than kill Saul when he was within reach and caught unawares, David cut off only a piece of the king’s robe as evidence. Alistair Begg explains how this gesture honored the Lord and appeared to soften Saul’s heart. When life’s path doesn’t seem to make sense, we, like David, can trust God to order all our ways.
It's most refreshing listening to this articulate preacher. Often through nights of insomnia I listen to his sermons. I appreciate the effort made in preparation for the sermons. We are living in troubled times. Begg's sermons are a tonic.
Amen. My thoughts exactly. Last night was one of those nights for me. What a blessing. May God continue to hold up Begg to glorify His purposes!
There were no sermons like this 2000 years ago at the day of penticost . Peter the same time baptised from Heaven by the Holy Ghost Jesus promised to His disciples . Peter spent no time preparing a ( sermon ) before speaking and on that day 3000 saved. Each day more added to the church with no building, no sermons , no choir , no deacon or elder board . The church was in no way like in the last centuries known as an ( organization). What has become organized ib the last 2 centuries is not in any way truly the church. Ie God is not organized like sinful man has always been!
Amen
I listen to Pastor Alistair Begg nightly before sleep. Something so soothing about his voice. He keeps me fascinated and wanting to hear more. He is a very gifted teacher.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I totally agree, I’ve learned so much from him.
Years ago i was on my way home after spending the weekend at my mom and stepdads. A talk radio station that inly picked up on a mountain i cross was playing preacher Begg. I remember loving his message and knew i wanted to hear more. I repeated his name and tried memorizing it. i even stopped and put his name in my notes on my phone.idk how long i kelt it in my phone before looking back and searching his name. But praise God i did. He is sucb a blessing to us. Gor bless you sir ❤
The most obvious sign that The LORDS HOLY SPIRIT had quickened my dead spirit and sealed me.. by HIS grace alone... Was a massive increase of my awareness of wrong and sin... My conscience was suddenly hyper active and my sinful man was less influential....Praise GOD.... I 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🙏 thank you JESUS.
Praise Our Lord Jesus, for God gives every man the opportunity of this (CHOICE)!!! BLESSINGS IN YOUR WALK WITH & IN CHRIST 🙏🙏
Yes yes yes. I'm going through this right now. Things I know are wrong are more difficult to do. I've prayed at home to get closer to God. I just want to make it to heaven. I feel God is where you find him. If you're seeking him you will find him. Praise Jesus. I for some reason just wanted to say I hope my ex mother in law made it to heaven. Please pray for my mom's soul. She's very sick and I've told her to pray and attend church. I can't get her to understand you don't have to be cleaned up to go. You go to get cleaned up. God bless you all and Mr Begg. ❤
“What kind of conscience do you have” Thought provoking question. My Lord and my God help me🙏🏽😌
Thank you. How grateful I am for the Bible to be explained in such detailed, relevant manner. My heart is warmed, my life enriched, my spirit echoes with these sermons.
How are you doing
One of the best preachers I have heard!
The Lord will Fight Our Battles. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen
My wife and I were not able to attend our regular church service this morning; thankful for the called men like Alistair who explains the Scriptures clearly and presses it towards our hearts. Very thankful to hear.
Brethren this one issue has been and continues to be an area where the enemy attacks me constantly and consistently! And I know already and can repeat the scriptures and all but even so at times I’m up at no night wondering how it’s going to work out! There’s moments of victory where I think I’ve got this, I rebuke the spirit of fear, anxiety and dread and I trust the Lord. Then slowly ever so slowly those old thought patterns begin to raise up like a dead man trying to rise out of his coffin and there I am fighting against this spirit of fear and anxiety again! I believe that I will fight this enemy until the Lord takes me home. But this is worth fighting for by practicing the changing of old thought patterns and replacing them with the word of God. Confession of God’s word as well as writing God’s word repeatedly until it becomes embedded in one’s subconscious and begins to emerge to present itself to you, all this requires effort on one’s part and “discipline “ and awareness of ones mental state. If it is difficult process even when you are being diligent imagine if you’re not being aware or disciplined! Anyway I’m on my way, not there yet but further along down the road and fighting to keep my mind on Christ our Lord and Savior! God keep you in perfect peace brethren as you keep your minds on Him!
amen keep it up brother. you are in the right place doing the right things. keep running the race with endurance. the Bible talks a lot about endurance. life presents many challenges, much pain, and many hardships, but we will fight until the end with endurance doing the things that you mentioned in your comment (i.e., memorizing Scripture, reading it, writing it, reflecting on it). do not give up!!
@@noahnorris5006 Brother Noah, I appreciate your kindness in responding. Heard a sermon the other day from a Pastor who presided over a large church. He talked about just that topic of endurance in this battle. One thing that stuck in my mind is when he revealed that he sat in his kitchen many a night over the years while his wife and kids slept drawing up his resignation letter as Pastor of that congregation, read it and re -read it determined to turn it in that morning and leave, quit but didn’t! And he talked about how often those thoughts rise up the most when we’re close to a breakthrough because the enemy is out to sabotage our victory. Well I knew the Lord had spoken to my heart when I heard that message! I got back home afterwards and the phone rang. It was my brother who lived in another state who called me to tell me that he was coming to visit me from another state in a couple weeks. He said that his business has been doing fantastic as he repairs and rebuilds homes and there had been an explosion of his work because of storms in that region. He said that he had bought himself a vehicle and had thought of me and was bringing me his Jeep SUV and a check! I broke down in tears brother! And it’s not about the material that got me it’s that the Lord is so good! And He is a rewarder! I thanked my brother for his generosity and kindness but I know who is behind all good things that come to us. I had been struggling brother and I had been hanging in there and maybe no one else knew, but the Lord knew and He let me know it! God bless you brother. And you’re right let’s stay in the fight with and for the Lord Jesus Christ!! Thank you!
@@TheHereigoagain amen thanks for sharing! God is good. all the time.
Beautifully written, I pray that you feel at peace with this struggle. You are most definitely on the right path. May God fill this struggle with absolute Joy and Comfort knowing God is Greater and All knowing of our Struggles.
He Cares for You!
1Peter 5:6-11
@@kathleenrutherford733 I thank you sister for your kindness and words. Sometimes it's day to day, sometimes it's moment to moment of hanging on to one's sanity. But the Lord is good and allowed your words to reach me at this moment in time that I needed encouragement. God placed you in my path today, as I had prayed earlier for the strength to make it through the day as a warrior and soldier of God! God bless you sister!
Well it’s 9:30 pm in Hawaii and I was
listening to CSN and Alistair Begg came
on . But I was ready for bed , so I turned
lights off and wanted to here the rest of
Pastor Alistsair while turning in .
After years of listening I finally went to
you tube to see what pastor Alistsair
actually looks like . Not that it matters .
And off course I look at comments .
So Amen . And good night !
And God Bless !
And thank you for the truth
by your gift of teaching
Pastor Alistair Begg and
Truth for life .
So grateful to God for your teachings Alistair Begg! You bring the Scriptures to life by the Grace of God! You are a great blessing to God’s Kingdom!
We truly live In times where the preaching is to tickle our ears. In my area it's somewhat hard To listen to some of these preachers. As A.W Tozer said in his book, The Pursuit of God.
" people come to the LORD'S table and are starving to death".
Amen. I do not concern myself with things too lofty for me. God can do that.
How are you
I enjoy listening to Alistair Begg’s sermons. He has many uplifting messages, and he helps to keep me focused. There are times in life when the cares and trials of this world seem overwhelming. Indeed, we need to “leave matters with God,” lest we despair.
So grateful to hear the sentence "your conscience is your friend," and to hear teaching on how we must heed conscience, and that conscience is where God writes his natural law. The last church I was in I left after hearing preaching that "your conscience is your worst enemy," coupled with statements like "God is not looking for a moral society." It was the worst sort of antinomianism.
Yes, Ruth, you were smart to RUN as far away from that false teaching as possible.!! My grandfather, who was a pastor, always told us if you go to a church that doesn't preach "the blood of Jesus", RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN...!!! A church that preaches "The blood of Jesus" has always been my standard..!! God Bless You..!
Oh Jesus help me to obey you Word🙏🏻
Lord forgive me for having done that sometime in my life. Order my way Oh Lord!
How are you
Killer message, this is the 'Truth' from the 'Word'... No seared conscience... Depression is from not listening to the conscience the Lord God has placed in us at birth... The Lord God knows everything about me... EVERYTHING, the Lord God is Sovereign ABSOLUTELY
Jesus.....as for me... I shall hide in thee!
AMEN..!!
May God bless you brother Alistair
Thank you Alister for being an inspirational man of God faithfully delivering His message 🙏🙌
That was a great sermon, and a fine example of good expository preaching!
How beautiful are God's words always spoken in due season because God's timing is perfect..!! Yes, I will trust and wait on the Lord..! God Bless You, Pastor Begg..!!
Love listening to Allistair Begg. Thank you for preaching the true Word of God🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰👩🦽👩🦽👩🦽
I thank God for His ways in showing me the way - even if it is to stumble upon such a clear, powerful sermon, that speaks to "the old self" and to die with Him, in order to live with Him, I trust my ways in your hands Lord, let me be found in your house my whole life through
These are my people. I have always felt a connection with Ireland.
Being a born Californian strains my heart. I will always love Ireland.
Thank you for your teaching. Your ministry has been a blessing in my life and I hope that many more will listen.

Thank God for men he,s raised up to explain difficult scriptures that few can explain to make a sermon that one can understand. We thank God for his word to our hearts that bring encouragement and faith. Encouragement to have us seek to be disciplined by the word of God. I want to be pleasing to God, as his child. Nothing else would do.

Thank you !
Praise God
Christ wants us to leave every aspect of our lives to HIM .....we only have to hear his voice and trust in him.
Yesterday when I got up, I went to my computer, I usually have a hymn of the day in my mind to listen to, when I went to my Praise & Worship tab - the song that was there on the screen from previous session was in His Time/Maranatha and the words jumped out at me, though it was not the hymn/song I had woken up with and I was almost slighty irritated to see it as I thought it was not the fit song for the day (how wrong I was, the Lord was speaking). Thank you for this reminder Pastor Begg of waiting for God's time rather than becoming impatient for the vision He gave us of our life and to be willing to go along the Path He has ordained for us rather than forcibly creating our own - and acting in rebellion against Him, both of which always leads to untold and sometimes unrelenting destruction and disaster.
When David cut Saul's robe he may have possibly been made aware he had done it in a moment of pride to show he had one on Saul. Might possibly the guilt pang from feeling pride caused him to pause as he considered his motivation in the act? That would be a familiar feeling for me ☹️
I believe it was ALL part of God's Plans and for HIS purposes..!
Actually the act wasn't prideful it was to let Saul know David wasn't his enemy. If he was Saul's enemy Saul would be deceased. He avoided taking revenge more times than most men.
Thanks for the Bible I am bless many times listening to you
I am really enjoying your Sermons Thank you
I needed this word today. Thank you Alistair
Ditto!
Amen Praise The LORD ❤
Love the origin of words.
Etymology! Fun and fascinating .
Thanks Alistair!
Thank you, Praise God
Amen , thank you pastor Begg.
God bless you my brother and your ministry
Love ur teaching God bless
Hallelujah..
Thank you
David wouldn't have left the cave if he didn't truly trust in the Lord God Almighty.
Thank you, I needed this message today.
How are you
Wonderful encouraging sermons from Alistair Begg.
That was such a powerful sermon pastor Begg. And the ending prayer too 💞
Thank you. Your Teaching is Alive. As you unfolded the Story it became real, all the Key words to me Stood out and Spoke to me. Thank you for the added quotes. Like explaining the word Grab! Conscience and David persuaded his men not to kill Saul. Not taking matters into our own hands. Reminded me of the Courage it took in a medical situation and a group of consultants thought they had it so right. Took one Person of Courage to say No this is not right Look and See your Wrong! Its so easy to become influenced by the Majority. Leaving Matters in Gods hands says it All. Thank you i was blessed because of your Word Today.
I can relate and agree, it is so easy to be influence by others and go with the majority, rather be the odd person's out standing on right
Working in the medical field, I have to keep praying and stay steadfast to upright; especially decisions towards another person
I just kept wailing in obedience and to not allow my foundation to be crack, and keep repenting and confessing, bringing everything at the throne of God for guidance and direction
Very well taught God bless!
How are you
Wow, just beautiful ♥️ thank you Pastor!
Top shelf clear Biblical teaching. So grateful for this necessary food.
Thanks for sharing this with everyone
God bless everyone 🙏
Great Pastor,I love his words of Wisdom, YES just wonderful
Excellent!
Thanks for posting these.
This reflects what our LORD Jesus has said, love your enemy. The Seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness, by the Resurrection from the dead. Rom 1:2-4, Matthew 7.
David was cutting off a corner of Saul’s authority as king and being appointed by God.
I believe it’s a marker for Saul to check himself as he pursued the future king.
It’s amazing how this is a story of two kings ……right ..?
Only Church I remember most ,Pinnelus Pkwy. St. Pete beach Fla. The greatest Scotsman,beside my Grampa,was Mr. Half our. He offered me nothing tangable, no, most important was his visit to Scotland,Now I'm 64 but still remember the Spanish moss dangling the testimony of Gen. Yules'granfdson.93 yrs old told me after church about the battle of Mill Run GA. 1864 his grandfather told him all I believe that's why he had that sour look +still believed the South won the war

Perfect.
Leave it to God.You cannot thwart his providential will.

How are you
The book he mentions has been made into a movie. It is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The movie is "The professor and the madman". Mel Gibson is the professor and Sean Penn is the madman. It's on Amazon or Netflix but I can't remember which one.
It's actually The Surgeon of Crowthorne the movie was based on. It's true story of how the Oxford dictionary was written.
Message online today said for us not to be yoked to sinners. I see this but we are working with Jesus and darkness is all around so help me better understand?

People are so far removed from what church is supposed to be that they now believe that someone telling them about the Bible is warship

No. We need each other. The Bible is full of eachothering 😊
@@esthertschetter9544 maybe that is whats missing in my life. A decent church.
Amen!! Find believers and a church that teaches the Bible... And fasten your seatbelts for the call of your life!!
Trust in the Lord. Not put confidence on man.
Yes......but what does the spirit say ?
It was the spirit that raised Jesus from the dead ? Yes ?
So this is church ,Yes ?

During this pandemic I have been quarantined 3 times. I was told today I was worse than an infidel. So if you are quarantined, mandatory are you still an infidel. I believe it's a matter of perception. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.
Proverbs 29:25
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in YHVH shall be safe.”
Proverbs 18:10
“The name of YHVH is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
Personally I don't quite understand why some would call you an infidel in the first place. It's quite weird. I guess there would need to be more background. God does say render to Caesar what is Caesar's so if you're going from that aspect following mandatory quarantine is just following the rules. Now I am sure some point this may turn into a different situation but ignoring the mandatory quarantine could possibly put others at risk. I don't know exactly why you were quarantined so... As for Mike M
Michael Ford did not say he was fearful. He said he was quarantined. Now if they had asked Michael Ford to denounce Christ and he out of fear denounced him that's a different story. My $0.02 but we know pennies don't count anymore. At least not here in Canada. God bless gentlemen

Revelation 12:11

Because I was quarantined 3 times during this pandemic. And could not work. That's why I was told I was worse than an infidel
Say: let he who is without sin cast the first stone. And, there is only one law giver and judge, the one who is able to destroy. But you___ who are you to judge your neighbor? We are to mind our own business, not our brothers and sisters. No wonder people are leaving or changing churches.
Bible study. You will find the answer.
