In the wonderful, glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. This message is called Cleansing Iniquity. We have been talking about deliverance now for a handful of weeks and I'm going to continue in that direction as long as the Lord continues to um send me in that direction. So, what I'm going to be teaching on is Psalm 51. So, if you want to get your Bibles open and get ready for that, we're going to be looking at verses 1-1 17 in detail. I want to do what I've been doing where I bold the word and in parentheses next to it in italicize I put in other words that the bolded word could have been translated into giving you more of a deeper meaning as to what that the original script was meant for us in the name of Jesus. Amen. So, I hope you are blessed by this. Um I got my tissue next to me. You're going to want to have some tissue next to you on this one. So, let's go to uh the beginning here. Um Psalm 51 1-17. So, let me lay down a background. At the top of the New King James Version, it does say to the chief musician of Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him after he had gone into Ba Sheba, which is Uriah's wife. So, let me explain why David wrote this psalm because this is very, very powerful. So David was supposed to be in military with his men and he was home in luxury relaxing while his men fought for him. While he was looking out out on his balcony or wherever he was, he looked down and he sees Bath Sheba bathing on the rooftop. And uh basically he falls for her. He um she's married, but they have an affair. She gets pregnant. So, David decides to have Uriah come back from the battleground so that he can sleep with his wife. But Uriah is a man of God, a righteous man. He is um he has good morals about him. In other words, is what I'm trying to say here. He wanted to sleep in the barracks, not with his wife because his men, his um partners in the battlefield. They weren't in luxury and he didn't want to give himself a night of luxury and rest that they had. He wanted he was in battle and he was wanting to stay in battle. So David's plan that he thought he'd pawn off his own son under Uriah and Beth Sheba's um relationship didn't go well. So Uriah is given a letter by David and Uriah takes that letter and gives it to his commander. Doesn't read it. And the ba basically the letter tells the commander to put Uriah in the most difficult thicket battle you can ever be in. And Uriah goes in there and he's killed. Okay. So in essence, David killed Uriah. So he takes Basheba as his wife and she carries the baby. The baby is born, but the baby is born sick. So David, two things happens to him. Nathan the prophet comes to him and tells him about this guy who took this one sheep from this one person. And David's like, "Who is that? We got to stop him." And Nathan says, "That's you. That's what you did to Bath Sheba and Uriah." And David broke. You see, he had a sin in front of him now and it was exposed. No more in secret. So, he broke. On top of it, the baby is sick. And David, he's he's lamenting before the Lord. He's crying to the Lord. He's wearing um you know, he's torn his clothes. He's wearing sackcloth. He's got ash over him. He is sobbing for the Lord to heal and restore the little one, the baby, his son, and God allowed the baby to die and took the baby home. Want you to understand several things here. One is that your sin has consequences not just to you but to those around you. So if you are here, your grandparents, your your your parents, your grandparents, your great-grandparents, all their sins came on you. Your sins go to your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren. They're all connected for generations, back and forward. And this is what you see here with David. His son was affected. And if you wonder sometimes why babies die earlier early or as a baby, this is one reason. There are several reasons. God God is in control. We may not understand it, but we need to be in obedience about it. One of the things that David did here that did he showed after he realized, you know, the baby's dead. There's nothing he can do about it. He cleans himself up, asked for some food, and he transforms himself completely. He's just back to normal. And I mean the servants were worried about him. They thought, "Man, this guy's breaking. He's lost. He's he's done for." And they were scared because they see this radical transformation. And David realizes what's going on and he says to them, "I was hoping God would leave the child with me, but he didn't. He took him. The child's not coming back to me, but I will be going to the child. You see, David understood that God has the children in the palm of his hands. All the children are taken care of, they are under the age of accountability. And as long as they're under that age, God takes care of them for whatever reason. Okay? So here, God chose to show David your sin did this. And and here's the thing. David's a king. This did not have to be written in the books. It might have been in the Chronicles. If you understand the way the scriptures are written, you got 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, 1 Kings, 2 Kings. Chronicles is written from God's point of view. Would have probably been written in Chronicles. But it might not have been in Kings if David didn't want to have this exposed. It was up to David. But David had this written down and documented for a reason, so that you and I could see the consequence of sin, iniquity, which is what we're going to be dealing with in this message. So, David allowed this to go forth. He humbled himself before the Lord. Um, and even though he lost his child, he realized God still healed him. God delivered him, cleansed him, and purified him of being a murderer and an adulterer. That is absolutely incredible. So whatever sin or iniquity that you have in your life, whether is bound by drugs, whether you killed someone, whether you cursed someone thinking they should be dead and you told the world they should be dead, anything like that, that's a sin. That's an iniquity that you have in you and that causes consequences to occur in your life and those around you. Those need to be taken care of if you want to break forth and go forward. You got to break them forth in the generational line to your grand great-grandparents and to your great grandchildren. Even if they're not born yet, you want to deal with that now because God is the God of today. Which that means he was a God of today yesterday. He's a God of today tomorrow. it. Timing here is in the spirit, not the physical. So I want you to understand that as we delve into this. So you can see now David writes this psalm in this situation that he dealt with and he humbled himself before the Lord. And that is what I'm going to teach on is cleansing the iniquity. All right, let's go to verse one. He says, "Have mercy upon me, oh God, according to thy loving kindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions." Okay, now let's look at it with all the extra translations. It could have been translated as, "Bend or stoop in kindness to me, oh God, according to your piety and favor, according to the multitude of thy compassions, erase my revolt and rebellion."

David cried out to God. That's the first thing you want to do when you're dealing with iniquity and you want to cleanse it. You cry out to God. Second, look at verse two. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Now, when you cry out to God, what are you saying? Okay, let's look at it in other the other words. Trample stamping with feet. The reason that word wash is translated with that other translation because in the past they didn't have washing machines. They had to trample on the clothes, hit them against the rocks. Current washing machines today. Agitate things. That is what David's asking God to do to agitate him. By the way, when you're cleansing iniquity, you're going to see agitation. Irritable. People get irritated because they're being trampled and stomped on by the Holy Spirit. Oh, so look at this in more detail. Trample, stamp, stomp me with your feet thoroughly from my perversity, my fault, my evilness. Make me bright and pure from my offense or habitual sin. You see, this is what David is crying out. He's saying, "Lord Jesus, I need you to agitate me. I need you to make me bright and pure again. and I need you to re-establish me. I need you. And he's saying out of offense, he's saying evil fault. That word there, iniquity, is a fault. Let me explain this part to you. This is very, very important that you understand this. There is God and he is in his courtroom. There is Jesus right next to him. The devil is over here, the accuser. He's on the other platform and he's accusing you of everything and he has the right to do that. But Jesus is saying, "Well, I'm going to forgive you of your iniquity if you repent." David is repenting. So, you can picture David standing there and Jesus who hadn't died on the cross yet. That's okay because this is his great greatgrandfather. And remember, God is a God of today, which meant he was a God of today, yesterday. He's a God of today, tomorrow. So, there's Jesus with David before God. And Jesus says, "I forgive him." God says, "Okay, he's forgiven." And he washes it off. And the devil's he's trying to accuse you. Guess what, though? God made it possible for us to be redeemed of our iniquity. We do not have to live with that iniquity. Let it break us, but let us get rid of that grief. Let us lament it out, whail it out as David did. He cried out to God and he is going to acknowledge this. He's saying what I need is your cleansing, your purification. So this is the beginning. He cried out to God and then he's saying saying, "God, I need you." That's with his cry and I need you to purify me. That's part of his crying out. And you see he's at that throne room. He boldly went to the throne room. Angels are there. Devils are there. The God is there. Jesus is there. and he's saying, "Help me to the throne room of God." And Jesus says, "I got you." But now, let's look and see what David also does because it's very important because we're dealing with iniquity. I want you to see the whole transaction that takes place in this courtroom of God. So, here he says, "For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me." This is so powerful. David is saying, "Look, I see what I did. I'm messed up." Look at how he says it. He says, "I recognize my rebellion, my revolt, and my sin is ever before me." He's not going to forget what he did. He's not going to forget the son that he had out of that because he's looking forward now to seeing his son in the future. But he sees this sin. Look what else he does. Because he's acknowledging. So there's a cry out. There's an acknowledgment. Now he's saying, "But I acknowledge against thee. Thee only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight, that thou might just be justified when thou speakest and be clear when thou judges." As you can see, we are in a courtroom. The devil has accused and rightfully so. And God is saying, "Yep, you've done that." But Jesus comes in and he says, "I forgive him." And God says, "Yep, okay, blot it out. That sin is forgiven. It's no longer here. I can't, you know, I see the blood of Jesus now. I don't see the sin. That's what God does." And the devil's like, "You can't do that." This is the This is the way that God has designed for you and I to be saved today. This is what is called grace. This is why we need to repent to Jesus. This is why we need to get to his throne room. We need to get to the courtroom and we need to say sorry. And look what uh is going on here. He says, "I'm recognizing my rebellion." Because see he that's you know he rebelled against God when he was standing on that rooftop looking down at Basheba instead of being where he was supposed to be. He was supposed to be with his military and he wasn't. He rebelled. You see how simple of rebellion could be? I'm going to take tonight off and I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to have just a night to myself. I'm not going to pray. I'm not going to do anything. Okay, I'm going to turn on the the TV and rebellion, revolt. Yes, you're guilty of that. And that sin is right there. But he took it that further. He actually acted on the sin and then he because he had adulter and then he murdered the guy. Poor Uriah. You know, I really feel sorry for this man who's served his king. This is a sin. This is an iniquity that David did against another person, but God. This is why you and I can take all of our iniquities and lay him at the throne room, acknowledge them, and cry out to God, lament, let it go, and ask Jesus to forgive. Let's continue on. And notice he did this against God. He sinned against God because see he knew where he was supposed to be and all of the other stuff, the murder and the adultery was a consequence of him rebelling against God. He did it against God. And look at he says, "I did this against you and you only." And look at that. He only means part of the body, the branch of a tree. You see, we are part of God. He is our father. We are an inheritor, an adopted inheritor of his kingdom. We are brothers and sisters with Jesus. David is a family member of that. We are part of this family. And he says to God, "You're my father and I sinned against you and you only and I did this calamity in your sight." And so you're right. You're justified. You're right when you say you arrange this courtroom the way it is and you judge me and you pronounce sentence. You have the right to judge me and convict me and find me guilty because I am guilty as charge. Look what else he says though. This is David going even further because now we're going to be dealing with the generational things. Watch this. He says, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me." He went all the way to his conception. At the moment of conception, every human being is born in sin because of what Adam and Eve did. Who were born into a curse automatically at conception. It is the grace of God that saves each and every one of us. So he's saying, listen, I was shaping as I grew up after being born. I was twisted and whirled in iniquity, in perversity, fault and sin. And I committed crimes and I have penalties against me because of my mother and what she did. But it goes back to her mother, her mother, father, father, all the way to Adam and Eve. So he's saying, "Okay, Father God, I'm acknowledging my sin. I sinned against you. I'm crying out to you and I'm going all the way back to Adam and Eve with my lament." Because he is broken. He is crying. He's seeing his iniquity. Watch. Watch how he sees his behold thou desire. I'm going to get to the part where he God, you're going to see him broken here in a moment, but look at what he says here. Behold, thou desireest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part, thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Now, he's going to the deep utter part of his inward parts of his body. This is where things are going to break. He's saying, "I need these inward parts fixed." Look what he says. You desirous, you inclined, you delight in the truth, which is the stability, the certainty in the inward parts. He wants truth, certainty in our inward parts. He wants that inside. You desire that, Lord Jesus. You desire that. You're in the hidden area. You're repairing and you're keeping the hidden areas secret, but you're there because you desire to be there. You're inclining to look. Oh, look in. Let me look inside of you. This is God looking inside of you. Get that? He sees what's going on inside. And he says, "But you shall make me to know wisdom." You see, David is finally acknowledging you need to be inside here and let your wisdom come out of me. Let me know your wisdom because I need you. I need you. I'm messed up. And look at now he's saying, "Purge me with his thought and I shall be clean." You know, when he says, "I shall be clean," he is acknowledging God cleansing him already. Even though he is asking, he's acknowledging the cleansing already. And he says, "I shall be clean. Wash me. I shall be whiter than snow." Look at that word purge to miss, forfeit, repent me with hissop. Turn me around. Use your hissop to turn me around. That's the blood on the branch. Use the blood. Turn me around and I'll be bright and pure. There's that wash again. Agitate me. I'll be whiter than snow. Get me cleansed. He's saying, I need this. And he's saying to the deeper inward parts, do this. Look what else. Make me to hear intelligently, attentively, obedient, to joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. See, he's acknowledging on the inside, my bones broke. They collapsed and I'm unable to hold myself up. He is weeping. He is lamenting so hard he cannot get back up. And he's calling it as bones broken in the spirit because he can't get up. But he's saying, "I want to hear cheerfulness, glee, gladness, because if I hear that, and if I'm obedient to that, and I'm attentive to that, my bones will have rejoice, they'll be able to stand on their own and spin around." That's what the word rejoice means. So, he is saying in the future, he is prophesying over himself, you're cleaning me. You're restoring the collapsed bones. I'm gonna have joy and I'm gonna have cheerfulness in me. Gladness, gladness and joy in me. It's all going to turn around and I'm going to be able to rejoice in the name of Jesus, the son of God. Oh, here's where you know he broke. Look at what he says here. Hide thy face from my sins. Cover your face. Don't look at this. I messed up. That's horrible. That's my crime. Hide your face. Don't look at that. Blotted out all my iniquities. Wipe it all out. This is him. This is the deep part of him saying, "Lord, don't look at that. I messed up. That's horrible." Then he says, "Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me." Look at this. Create in me a pure, fair heart, oh God, and rebuild a right spirit in me. Rebuild me from the inward parts. And then he goes on to say, don't throw me away. Cast me not away from your presence, from your face, and take your not thy holy spirit from me. So stay with me. Don't look at this sin, but stay with me. I need you to stay with me. I need you to help me. I need you to help me. Don't look at my sin, but you look you just stay with me. Just don't look. Cover your eyes. Cover your face, but don't let me go. And he says, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit."

He says, "Turn back. Turn back the joy to me of your salvation." That word salvation is deliverance, prosperity, liberty, safety. Why does that word deliverance mean all these things? Because we can do iniquity and sin to finances, not just sexual immorality, witchcraft. We could do some sort of iniquity to murder, lie, cheat, hating someone, bitterness. All of these things we can be delivered from with what you see David doing here. He says, "Turn back unto me that joy. Turn back unto me the joy of your deliverance, the joy of your prosperity, the joy of your liberty, liberty, the joy of safety." If you're in an immediate situation where you're not saved, Jesus save me. The moment you do that, you're saying, "Jesus, turn your safety back into me." And so, David is saying, "I understand I messed up here, and I'm asking your joy to come back into my heart of your salvation, of your deliverance, with, and look at this, with thy noble and reputable spirit, the free Holy Spirit." He says, "You are pure. You are noble. you are. I'm asking for your free spirit to be within me for the deliverance and the healing that I need from this iniquity that I committed. Then I then will I teach transgressors, sinners, that means thy ways, course of life. That's what that word ways mean. And sinners, criminals, and those that are guilty shall be converted unto thee. Here he is prophesying again. So he's saying now, Lord, cleanse me, heal me, bring back your salvation, deliver me, liberate me from what I did because I was guilty of it. And he's saying, I'm going to teach others how to do this so they can convert and turn back from their ways and get before the Lord. This is why David wrote it in the Kings. This is why David wrote it in the Psalms. This is why he shared what he did in his life. Even though it was a humiliating event, he lost a child as a result of this. But God taught David how to humble himself and be obedient to him. David chose God in spite of his iniquity. Oh my word, that is so powerful. He's going to teach them and they shall be converted back unto him. Oh, that is so holy. That is so awesome. That is incredible. Look at this. Snatch away me from blood guiltiness. Listen to this. That word blood guiltiness means when shed causes death. Meaning the shedding of blood causes someone to die. Well, Uriah bled to death. I don't know how he died on the field. I I just know that he died and I don't know if it was blunging, stabbed, I don't know, but he bled to death on that field. Um, and the reason I don't know is I haven't gone back and read it. There's some homework here. Go do go read this. Look up Uriah and look him up. Read him in this the Psalms. Excuse me. Yeah, read him in the Psalms. I think he's written in Psalms. Read him in the Chronicles, the Kings and 1 and 2 Samuel. I'm sure he's all in there. Read about him. Um, if he's not in the Samuels, he'll be in the uh Kings and the Chronicles for sure. But read about what David did here. Because I want you to understand when he says, "Deliver me from blood guiltiness. Snatch me away from that." Because there is a consequence to when you cause cause someone to bleed. And I want you to understand something. He caused someone to bleed to death in the physical. But your words could be causing somebody to die in the spiritual. If it is your responsibility to be praying for someone and they don't get healed because you're not praying for them, they they bled into death. this blood guiltiness is on your soul. This is why sometimes we don't see the power of God moving in certain people's lives. It's because they need to turn back from the iniquity of what they did. You know, I I recently have changed up my prayer life. First thing I said, Lord, I'm sorry. I wasn't praying like this initially. Yes, I prayed. Yes, I served God, but I wasn't praying like this. He's teaching me and I've been learning. So, I was doing it in ignorance, but I still apologize. It's called obedience because I want to make certain that when I go before the Lord and I'm praying these prayers that the devil ain't over here accusing me over and over again because God and Jesus has forgiven me, purified me, made me bright, and cleansed me because I went to the Lord and asked him to forgive the iniquity he found in me. And I forgave the iniquity, too. And whatever I forgive, he forgives. Oh, and and you can see that in the last few messages I just taught. Then he says, "Oh God, thou God and my salvation, my rescue. My tongue shall sing aloud. Shout of thy righteousness. Shout of thy justice." Now he can say, "Hey, devil, look what God did to me. Neer, neer." He could do this. He has a right to do it. He could do it to everybody else in the world. See what God did to me? He could do that to you, too. Let me show you. You see, now you have the right to do that in the name of Jesus, the son of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And then he says, "Oh Lord, open wide. Open my lips and my mouth shall show forth thy praise." He's going to bring it to the front the ludation of God. Look what he did. He forgave me of my iniquities. Oh, hallelujah. And then he goes back to saying, we're not done. We're in verse 16. For thou desireest not sacrifice, else would I give it. Thou delightest not in burnt offering. You see, David was living under burnt offerings and sacrifices at this time under the law. But he's recognizing that the law wasn't going to cleanse him here. The law doesn't cleanse you of iniquity. The law finds you guilty. But David said, "No, that's not what you want, Lord. I know you don't want that." He says, "What you want are the sacrifices of God are a broken or burst spirit, a broken and contrite or a collapsed heart. Oh God, thou will not despise or disdain that." You see, he wants your soul to lament, to break. When David said, "Don't look at my sin right in front of me, Father God. Cover your face." He broke. And when he broke, that's the sacrifice God desires. Yes, God desires your sacrifices of a broken, contrite, or collapsed heart. But notice, he asked the Holy Spirit to prop him up because that propped up heart is before the Lord because he he couldn't hold it up. Remember, he was broken. Good. Let's go back. uh restore, turn back into me the joy of thy salvation, deliverance, prosperity, liberty, safety, and uphold, prop, take hold of me with thy free, noble spirit. Prop me up, Lord, because my bones were broke. My heart collapsed. And God is saying, I will because that's what I desire. You have that broken spirit. Come with me. I'm going to lift you up. I'm going to prop you up. And then David was asking for the restoration of joy and gladness back into his heart because with that he can stand up on those broken bones, not feel the pain and rejoice because the Lord restored him. And the devil can't accuse him anymore of that iniquity and that sin that was found within him. Oh, hallelujah. This is a point in your life where you can choose to have your iniquity forgiven. And all it takes is cry out to God. Say, "I'm sorry, Lord. I did this and I did this against you and you only. I'm sorry. Acknowledge what you did. I did this, Father God. I cannot believe I not only rebelled and revolted against you by taking a slippery slope step, I slipped and fell and I made it worse by bringing a child into the life or whatever the situation is that you're dealing with. I made it worse. Let's think of it like drugs. I make it worse every time I take more than I did the day before because you're not feeling it as much. You are revolting and rebelling against God because God has asked us to have our bodies align our minds sober. So to have a sober mind before the Lord means you cannot have drugs. But you can go and ask God to forgive you of that rebellion, of that revolt. He can forgive that. not only forgive them, but reestablish you. You don't even have to have any withdrawal effects because God will uphold your spirit and he will restore the joy and the the gladness back in your heart and soul in your spirit because you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is forgiving your iniquity and the devil can't do anything about it. And you get to share your testimony. Amen. Let's pray a prayer together here. I didn't put one up on the screen, but we're going to do it like this and and do it for ourselves. Let's start just with ourselves. I just taught prayer on this, so I just want to I'll say it slow. You can say it with me. Oh, dear heavenly father, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I ask you to forgive the sins of the land I walk on. I ask you to forgive the curses against me and I ask you to forgive the curses I've spoken and I ask you to forgive the iniquity found within me in the name of Jesus the son of God. Father God, I'm sorry. I repent of it and I forgive myself as well. Thank you Jesus for healing me and restoring me. The devil can no longer accuse me here. He is gone. Father God, I ask that the mourning and the sorrow and the grief that I suffer with, the bondage and the calamities that I suffer with because of my iniquity that I have that you've forgiven me. I ask that you change it into joy, that you change it into liberty, that you change it into freedom, that you change it into gladness, that you change it into your presence and holiness, so that I can rejoice in the praise before you because you are my deliverer. You are my healer. You are my rock. You are my salvation. You are my safety. You are my foundation. In the name of Jesus, the son of God. Thank you. Amen. God bless you. I hope you are changed by this message. Share it with others and I will see you in the next message. Byebye.
