Isaiah 54:17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness {or} the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.
Romans 8:1 THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, {who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.}
John 3:18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in {and} trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.]
VI. TITLE:
Desolation For The Judgemental
VII. EXPLICATION:
Take from Summarized Bible
A. Contents: God’s salvation extolled and prayer for deliverance.
B. Characters: God, David.
C. Conclusion: Those who seek God in all their perplexities shall rejoice and be glad in Him, for He will not only be found of them, but will be their bountiful rewarder, wherefore, they should say continually, “the Lord be magnified.”
D. Key Word: Praise and prayer, Psa_40:3, Psa_40:13.
E. Strong Verses: Psa_40:2, Psa_40:16.
F. Striking Facts: Psa_40:6-8. The offerings had their worth only as types of the sacrifice of Christ, but when He came, as it was foretold in the volume of the Book, they ceased to be of worth. He alone completely did the will of God. Our expiation from sin is due not to us, but our Substitute’s obedience to the will of Jehovah.

VIII. MAIN BODY:
Psalms 40:15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha!
A. Desolation is a reward
"Let them be desolate by reason of their shame"
Desolate came from the Hebrew word:"shamem" meaning to stun, devastate, stupefy, destitute, waste, wonder, destroy. This is where we get our english word "shame"
Hosea 2:12 And I will lay waste {and} destroy her vines and her fig trees of which she has said, These are my reward {or} loose woman's hire that my lovers have given me; and I will make [her plantations] an inaccessible forest, and the wild beasts of the open country shall eat them.
Desolation is a reward as well, a negative reward that are prepared for the lawless, for those people who will not acknowledge JESUS as Truth, but will all continue to learn but never coming to the realization that they needed a Savior for their own life.
2 Timothy 3:7 [These weak women will listen to anybody who will teach them]; they are forever inquiring {and} getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition {and} knowledge of the Truth.
I always wanted to learn, learn the truth and apply it in my life. GOD helping me out to do this on a daily basis as I come to know the LORD JESUS in my life, He will apply all His Truths in my life. Me first, then the people that I will come across with.
James 1:22 But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].
Illustration: One lady I came across with, is she is always interested to learn about the Truth, she's always inquire about JESUS, always eager to learn about JESUS, always eager to learn what JESUS does, but when I "harvested" her soul, she's not willing to accept the LORD JESUS and to grow with JESUS in a more deeper relationship with the LORD JESUS. I was amazed at her rejection or her "desolation"
When I learned about this, her situation, I tried asking her opinion about other people, and I was amazed to hear from her mouth, to summarize it, she's good in her opinion and other people around her are bad and evil. The reward she has right now in this life is desolate, or desolation. She will only talk about learning JESUS when I'm around but will go on her "simple" life when with others.
Proverbs 14:15 The simpleton believes every word he hears, but the prudent man looks {and} considers well where he is going.
Proverbs 14:18 The simple acquire folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man sees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished [with suffering].
Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man sees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished [with suffering].
Never call yourself simpletons, or simple, or never describe yourself in facebook, as "simple man" or "simple lady" Simple in the bible came from the Hebrew word:"pethi pethiy pethaiy" meaning silly, foolish. In the bible, being simple is difficult when it comes to spelling it's Hebrew word. Better describe yourself as "wise in GOD'S ways"
Proverbs 8:5 O you simple {and} thoughtless ones, understand prudence; you [self-confident] fools, be of an understanding heart.
How to be wise in GOD'S ways? Simple!
Come to the LORD and develop a living relationship with Him, and accept His WORDS into your life.
Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Psalms 119:130 The entrance {and} unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.
Let GOD'S WORDS unfold before your very eyes, it takes practice though, you need to be "soaked" with GOD'S WORDS everyday, it will not happen overnight, I experienced it when I was about 20+ years in the LORD so we're not the same, some get it at an early stage of their CHRISTian life, but some are earlier, some are later, but what's important is "you grow in the knowledge"
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recognition {and} knowledge {and} understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)!
So keep away from simplicity but be wise in the knowledge of GOD through His WORDS. Buy or download a bible reading guide that allows you to finish reading the whole bible in one year. Read, meditate, memorize, treasure GOD'S WORDS as the very "physical" treasure you only have in this world. You know JESUS, is called the "PEARL OF GREAT PRICE", keep knowing Him in this life. JESUS is the Only WAY to GOD that can remove desolation from our paths, instead He will fill it with Himself (the LIGHT)
Matthew 13:46 Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the world's Light.
Psalms 97:11 Light is sown for the [uncompromisingly] righteous {and} strewn along their pathway, and joy for the upright in heart [the irrepressible joy which comes from consciousness of His favor and protection].
John 12:46 I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me [whoever cleaves to {and} trusts in {and} relies on Me] may not continue to live in darkness.
Embrace GOD'S Light (THE LORD JESUS CHRIST) into your life and you will never wonder anymore but you will have the LIGHT of the world in your life. Become the sons of the light. Come to the FATHER.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].
B. Judgemental
"Aha, aha!"
Always subject yourself or myself to the LIGHT - the LORD JESUS CHRIST through and by His WORDS so I will see who I really am, that I find my identity in the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Romans 8:1 THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, {who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.}
Psalms 35:21 Yes, they open their mouths wide against me; they say, Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen it!
Psalms 35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, that is what we wanted! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up {and} utterly destroyed him.
Psalms 70:3 Let them be turned back {and} appalled because of their shame {and} disgrace who say, Aha, aha!
Psalms 70:4 May all those who seek, inquire of {and} for You, {and} require You [as their vital need] rejoice and be glad in You; and may those who love Your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!
The enemies of the LORD JESUS CHRIST always (1) seeking and (2) watching how they can accuse the LORD JESUS CHRIST of His wrongs.
Luke 11:54 Secretly watching {and} plotting {and} lying in wait for Him, to seize upon something He might say [that they might accuse Him].
Luke 11:54 (King James version) Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Seeking came from the Greek word:"zeteo" meaning to seek, to plot, to desire, to endeavor. The LORD JESUS's enemies are also seeking with us, while we seek His Presence for our daily relationship, His enemies are also seeking for an opportunity for His errors, they desire that JESUS will commit a mistake in His words.
Accuse came from the Greek word:"kategoreo" meaning to be a plaintiff, to charge with some offense, accuse, object. Plaintiff means: In law, the person who commences a suit before a tribunal, for the recovery of a claim; opposed to defendant. (Source: Webster's dictionary) someone who finds fault in you.
These are our enemies, first they seek something that they can hold on to, they seek for our mistakes, they desire to see us fall, they are endeavoring for us to fail or commit mistakes, so that they can accuse of being wrong. But we can hold on to GOD's Promise in Isaiah 54:17
Isaiah 54:17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness {or} the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.
Those tongues who rises against us in judgement will be shown to be in the wrong side. These are our promises from GOD to protect us from our accusers or enemies.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are our Protection against our accusers and enemies, and You have removed our condemnation. HALLELUJAH!!
