IT AIN’T OVER YET!!
2 SAMUEL 12: 19-20
19 David noticed that his attendants were whispering among themselves, and he realized the child was dead. “Is the child dead?” he asked.
“Yes,” they replied, “he is dead.”
20 Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.
SOMEBODY ON THIS LINE, THE DEVIL BEEN MINISTERING TO YOUR MIND, GOT YOU THINKING BECAUSE YOU MADE SOME BAD DECISIONS, YOU FELL SHORT, YOU MISSED THE MARK, HE WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WON’T FORGIVE YOU, AND THAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU, BUT I CAME TO SERVE THE DEVIL A NOTICE THIS EVENING THAT IT AIN’T OVER YET!
AND I NEED YOU TO SPEAK THIS INTO YOUR SPIRIT THIS EVERNING, SAY YES I’VE FALLEN SHORT SOMETIMES AND YES I MISSED THE MARK, BUT I DECLARE THAT IT AIN’T OVER YET
HALLELUJIA! IT AIN’T OVER YET! IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IT FELF LIKE IT WAS, BUT GOD SENT ME HERE THIS EVENING TO TELL YOU IT AIN’T OVER UNITL GOD SAY IT’S OVER.
I FIND MYSELF LOOKING THIS EVENING ON THE ROOFTOP WITH DAVID, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT AIN’T ALWAYS THE ONES IN THE VALLEY THAT MESSED UP, IT AIN’T ALWAYS THE LITTLE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE OF LOW STANDARDS, IT AIN’T ALWAYS THE JANITOR OR THE COOKS THAT MESS UP SOMETIMES IT’S THE CEO, IT’S THE CFO THAT MESS UP, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE DOWN IN THE VALLEY TO MESS UP, SOMETIMES IT’S ON THE MOUTAIN TOP IT’S ON THE ROOFTOP. THIS IS WHERE I FIND DAVID, HE IS HOME TAKING A BREAK FROM BATTLE, THIS IS DURING THE SPRING TIME AND ALL THE KINGS AND SOILDERS ARE OUT IN BATTLE, BUT DAVID IS AT HOME, NO DOUBT HE’S TIRED AND WORNED OUT FROM FIGHTING, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON THE BATTLEFIELD BECAUSE ANYTIME YOU STEP AWAY FROM YOUR GOD GIVEN ASSIGNMENT, YOU’LL LOOK AT SOME STUFF YOU SHOULDN’T, YOU’LL GO SOME PLACES YOU SHOULDN’T, YOU’LL SAY SOME THING YOU SHOULDN’T, YOU’LL LISTEN TO SOME STUFF YOU SHOULDN’T, YOU’LL SLEEP, EAT AND PLAY SOME PLACES YOU SHOULDN’T
HERE DAVID IS ON THE ROOFTOP WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOWN IN THE VALLEY FIGHTING, AND HE SEE’S THE BEAUTIFUL BATHSHEBA BATHING AND PURIFYING HERSELF, AND THE BIBLE SAYS DAVID SAW HER AND HE DESIRED HER, THEN HE SENT FOR HER
YOU KNOW THE STORY HE LAID WITH HER AND SHE BECAME PREGNANT, AND IN AN EFFORT TO HIDE HIMSELF DAVID SENDS FOR HER HUSBAND URIAH TO COME HOME, HE WANTED TO MAKE URIAH RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHILD HE MADE BUT URIAH SAID I REFUSE TO HAVE PLEASURE WHILE OTHERS ARE DYING ON THE BATTLEFIELD, URIAH WAS MORE HONORABLE THEN THE KING. DAVID THEN GAVE ORDERS TO SEND HIM BACK TO THE FIELD AND PUT HIM ON THE FRONT LINE SO HE CAN BE KILLED, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. OH BUT GOD!
THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT GOD WASN’T PLEASED, SO HE SENDS NATHAN THE PROPHET TO DAVID, YOU KNOW THE STORY, NATHAN TELLS HIM THE STORY OF THE MAN THAT HAD ONE LITTLE EWE LAMB THAT HE LOVED LIKE IT WAS HIS OWN DAUGHTER, HE FEED THIS LAMB, THIS LAMB ATE FROM HIS OWN TABLE, HE SLEPT WITH THIS LAMB IN HIS BOSSOM AND HE NURTURED THIS LAMB, IT WAS ALL HE HAD
THEN ONE DAY A RICH MAN THAT HAD ALL THE SHEEP AND CATTLE HE WANTED. THIS MAN HAD A GUEST TO COME TO HIS HOME AND INSTEAD OF TAKING FROM HIS OWN FLOCK WHICH WAS PLENTY, HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE POOR MAN ONE EWE LAMB FOR HIM AND HIS GUEST TO FEAST OFF
WHEN HE HEARD THE STORY DAVID GETS ANGRY, SAID THAT THE MAN THAT DID THIS DESERVES TO DIE FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE, FOR HE HAD NO PITY!
HE WAS ANGRY WHEN HE THOUGHT THE STORY WAS ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO LOOK AT MYSELF AND SAY IT’S ME, IT’S ME OLE LORD I’M THE ONE STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER
NATHAN SAID KING DAVID (YOU’RE THE MAN) MY GOD! GOD SAID I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU ASKED FOR AN IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU MORE, AND BECAUSE YOU DESPISE MY COMMANDMENTS AND DONE THIS EVIL IN MY SIGHT, YOU KILLED URIAH AND TOOK HIS WIFE, AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE THIS THE SWORD SHALL NEVER DEPART FROM YOUR HOUSE, AND I WILL RAISE UP EVIL OUT OF YOUR OWN HOUSE
BECAUSE YOU DID WHAT YOU DID IN SECRET
WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE? IF I ASSEND TO THE HEAVEN YOU’RE THERE, AND IF I MAKE MY BED IN HELL YOU’RE THERE!!
BUT I COME THE TELL YOU IT AIN’T OVER YET!! I NEED SOMEBODY THAT STILL GOT A YET IN THEIR SPIRIT
THE STORY GOES ON TO SAY THE CHILD WAS BORN AND IMMEDIATELY THE CHILD BECAME SICK AND DAVID SOUGHT THE LORD TO HEAL THE CHILD, HE WOULDN’T EAT OR SLEEP, HE PUT ON SACKCLOTHS AS A SYMBOL THAT HE WAS IN MOURNING. AND HE BEGS THE LORD DAY AND NIGHT TO PLS LET THE CHILD LIVE, THEN ONE DAY THE CHILD DIES
HIS SERVANTS IS AFRAID TO TELL DAVID THAT THE CHILD DIED, BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE BEHAVED WHILE THE CHILD WAS YET ALIVE, BUT DAVID NOTICES THEY ARE WITHHOLDING SOMETHING FROM HIM SO HE ASKS IS THE CHILD OKAY? AFRAID TO TELL HIM, THEY SAID THE CHILD IS DEAD
DAVID GOT UP AND WASHED HIMSELF UP AND WENT TO WORSHIP, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO WORSHIP EVEN IN A STORM, AND HE GOT SOME FOOD TO EAT, AND IT PUZZLED THE SERVANTS SO BECAUSE BEFORE THE CHILD HAD DIED HE WAS IN MOURNIG AND NOW THAT THE CHILD IS DEAD HE CLEANS HIMSELF AND EAT
SO THEY ASKS HIM HOW IS IT THAT WHILE THE CHILD WAS LIVING YOU REFUSED TO EAT, BUT NOW THAT THE CHILD IS DEAD YOU WASH AND EAT
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said to myself Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me and let the child live? But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I’ll go to him, but he shall not return to me.
CAN I JUST SAY IT LIKE I FEEL IT?
DAVID SAID WHEN THE LORD IS YOUR SHEPHERD YOU DON’T HAVE TO WANT, WHEN GOD IS A REFUGE, AND EVER PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
WHEN GOD IS YOUR SECRET PLACE, HE’LL HIDE YOU IN HIS PRIVILLION, HE’LL HIDE YOU UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY, HE’LL MAKE YOUR ENEMIES LEAVE YOU ALONE, HE’S A PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE, YOU WON’T HAVE TO FEAR WHEN HE’S YOUR LIGHT AND SALVATION
DAVID SAID IT AIN’T OVER YET HALLELUJAH! CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART AND RENEW, REVIVE ME AGAIN LORD, RENEW BECAUSE I NEED A REFRESHING IN MY SPIRIT, RENEW THE RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME
ANYBODY ON THIS LINE EVER HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT TO INDWELL WITHIN YOU, I’M LOST WITHOUT YOU, DAVID SAID PLEASE DON’T WHATEVER YOU DO, TAKE ALL THAT I HAVE, BUT PLS DON’T TAKE YOUR SPIRIT AWAY FROM ME
GOD SAID DAVID IT AIN’T OVER YET, MY SON GOTTA COME THRU YOUR BLOODLINE, YOU’LL SUFFER SOME HEARTACHES AND PAIN A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND RAIN BUT IT AIN’T OVER YET
AND I COME TO TELL SOMEONE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE IT AIN’T OVER YET, GOD IS STILL WRITING YOUR LIFE STORY
YES, YOU MAY HAVE MESSED UP, OH BUT GOD GOT SOME MERCY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT. AFTER YOU’VE REPENTED (SEE WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO REPENT LIKE DAVID) DAVID DIDN’T TRY TO OUT MAD GOD, HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE MESSED UP, HE FELL AT THE MERCY SEAT, HE GRABBED UNTO THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge me
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and don’t take your holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
SOMEBODY ON THIS LINE CAN HELP ME TESTIFY IF GOD DID IT FOR DAVID HE CAN DO IT FOR ME, IF HE CAN STILL USE DAVID HE CAN STILL USE ME
I WANT YOU TO DECLARE IN YOUR SPIRIT, IT AIN’T OVER YET! HALLELUJIA! IT AIN’T OVER YET
I’VE LEARNED HOW TO GET BACK IN THE RACE AGAIN, I’M NOT DEFEATED. I GOT VICTORY WRAPPED UP INSIDE OF ME, I’M RUNNING FOR MY LIFE, IF ANYBODY ASK YOU WHATS THE MATTER WITH ME, TELL THEM IT AIN’T OVER YET, AND I’M RUNNING FOR MY LIFE
