We
are taught in the Bible that when we are saved we receive a new will.
Our old will is destroyed with is cursed desires and we get new
desires.I do not believe that just because we still are corrupted that
our old desires are strong enough bring us into a conflict between with
our new desires. I do not believe that we can be divided once we are
saved. The reason is because in fulfilling our new desires we are
renewed. Ps 9 4 For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting
enthroned as the righteous judge. The Psalmist is teaching that Gods
success is dependent upon the Psalmist success.
Now this seems to be too much for us to handle. But when we are saved we enter into a new kingdom. The success of this new kingdom is sealed in His covenant promises to us. We now are made free by grace. Everything that we have and are is gifted to us by God. The focus is not on an equation in which what we do adds up to the kind of grace that we enjoy. Some people teach that there is always a price for us which adds up to a quality of grace. It could be good works, the pleasure of the new life, the amount of devotion we have etc. But its simply give me what I desire and I will have a righteous cause. God has made it an open end on our side. He has given us the amount of freedom that He has provided in the success of His Son.
After living for 30 years in petitioning, arguing and pronouncing these Psalms im gonna give you my experience in the returns.This Psalm is teaching us how to develop our causes like strengthening and muscle. Ive taught over many years that the Psalms pronouncements are contained in the success of the word. The word not only gives us the standard by which God measures righteousness but it creates from nothing. So the word creates the desire to create our cause that renews our hearts. "My heart says seek His face, Your face Lord I will seek." This face to face relationship is the total victory over all enemies. 2 Tim. 4 18 "The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Here is a personal confession by the apostle in which he describes what his desire was in glorifying God.
As we oppose evil with our desire we learn the purpose of our lives. This is what the Psalmist means when he says do not turn to the right or the left. We are always becoming like we already are. This way of righteousness is the most fulfilling journey that a person can experience. We start with a very immature desire and we grow into deep convictions.
We start by enjoying meditation for meditations sake. In other words our experience in the word is more important than the personal effects that we experience over time. There comes a point as we build one scripture upon another that we grow in going from the word to the Person. As we grow into a mature man we enjoy the success of our occupation. We experience Gods pleasure in our success. We experience the uniting of our causes with Gods desire in the success of His Son. These past experiences are taught in an eternal mindset. So these inward experiences are outside of the constraints of time. They come up from the depths of our souls like they are present enjoyments. These fulfilled desires are profitable in this world. This direction of growth is upward.
But there are times when we must grow downward. When we grow downward we do not see the success of God in this world. A lot of people think that God causes us to grow downward to mature us but this is not entirely true. There is no force that we need to make our wills united with Gods will. God is absolutely just at all times. He never judges in between blessing and cursing. We are like God in that we enjoy success by thinking thoughts after God. Gods motive always is to defend His elect in blessing and cursing. If you memorized the Revelation you will see this connection between the smoke from the sacrifice that rises up to the heavens as a sweet smelling aroma to God. Its a mirror in heaven that brings about the enactment of judgment upon the earth. Heaven has a altar in which through out the history of the earth God has used the prayers of His elect to bring about the Apocalypse that brings a nation down and exalts others. So when we oppose the kingdoms of this world by the woes of Revelation we are using the curses to bring the reality of the future judgement into our present experience. We enjoy glimpses of the future judgement.The Psalmist expressed this glimpse in Ps 58 11 "Then people will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.” The Psalmist in going through trials grows down by pronouncing the curses on wayward nations. There is not much success that he enjoys in this world but the Psalmist is storing up judgement for his reward in heaven. All of the anger and sorrow that he experiences is used to pronounce judgement. I will talk about the evolution of desire again.
