The Love Story of David & Bathsheba

This Is One Of My Favorites

Out of all the love stories in The Bible … I have a tie of which one I love the most.

Its between Hosea & Gomer and David & Bathsheba ❤ .

I Love Bath-sheba

Honestly, I relate to her. I think when it comes to life we make mistakes … but David & Bath-sheba love was interwoven into the love , life, and lineage of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells,

Then David and Bathsheba had a son named Solomon, who had a son named Rehoboam, who had a son named Abijah, who had a son named Asa, who was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus, who is called “the Anointed One.” So from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian captivity, fourteen generation, and from the Babylonian captivity to Christ, fourteen generations. This was how Jesus, God’s Anointed One, was born. His mother, Mary, had promised Joseph to be his wife, but while she was still a virgin she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Her fiancé, Joseph, was a righteous man full of integrity and he didn’t want to disgrace her, but when he learned of her pregnancy he secretly planned to break the engagement. While he was still debating with himself about what to do, he fell asleep and had a supernatural dream. An angel from the Lord appeared to him in clear light and said, “Joseph, descendant of David, don’t hesitate to take Mary into your home as your wife, because the power of the Holy Spirit has conceived a child in her womb. She will give birth to a son and you are to name him ‘Savior,’ for he is destined to give his life to save his people from their sins.” This happened so that what the Lord spoke through his prophet would come true: Listen! A virgin will be pregnant, she will give birth to a Son, and he will be known as “Emmanuel,” which means in Hebrew, “God became one of us.” When Joseph awoke from his dream, he did all that the angel of the Lord instructed him to do. He took Mary to be his wife, but they refrained from having sex until she gave birth to her son, whom they named “Jesus.”
Matthew 1:7‭, ‬16‭-‬25 TPT

The Truth

I wrote this because I have seen some articles about David & Bath-sheba that are NOT true. He didnt rape her they actually made love according to The Bible.

This is why we have to know the word of God for ourselves … especially when it comes to biblical love.

***

Me personally I dont think there’s anything wrong with the love that David & Bath-sheba shared because she obviously was very important to David.. and GOD. God put her in his lineage of his beloved son Jesus.

My point of view will always be biblical God loved David & Bathsheba and He always will.

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Evening Prayer: Healing

Dear Lord Heavenly Father ,

I pray your word according to (Matthew 6). I cast down every demonic thought of witchcraft by the blood of JESUS (James 2:19) only through YOU do we have power. No weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and I decree the blessings of Abraham over my life. In Jesus Name I pray.. Thank God Amen.

The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Leave your country and the people of your father’s family. Go to the land that I will show you. I will cause your descendants to become a great nation . I will bless you. Everyone will know your name. You will bring my blessing to other people. I will bless those people who bless you. But I will curse anyone who insults you. Through you, I will bless all the families of people on the earth.’ Abram did what the Lord had told him. He left Haran. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. Lot went with him.

Mid Day Devotion : Every Path

When God gives a warning about someone or something it is for a reason. The Bible tells us that God does not see as man sees .

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to step forward and walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “This is not the one the Lord has chosen.”
1 Samuel 16:7‭-‬8 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1sa.16.7-8.NLT

People who are not in tune with God and the Holy Spirit tend to anoint what God has rejected… but that is them. So what about you ? Thankfully in the midst of Chaos God gives His people chances to humble themselves and do the OPPOSITE of what the wicked is doing by prayer. So I charge you today… despite what people are saying… will you walk in the path God has ordained for you?

Should Christian’s Be Doing Reality TV shows ?

The Truth

I dont like Oprah and this is why.

It seems that if someone shows up preaching quite another Jesus than we preached—different spirit, different message—you put up with him quite nicely. But if you put up with these big-shot “apostles,” why can’t you put up with simple me? I’m as good as they are. It’s true that I don’t have their voice, haven’t mastered that smooth eloquence that impresses you so much. But when I do open my mouth, I at least know what I’m talking about. We haven’t kept anything back. We let you in on everything. I wonder, did I make a bad mistake in proclaiming God’s Message to you without asking for something in return, serving you free of charge so that you wouldn’t be inconvenienced by me? It turns out that the other churches paid my way so that you could have a free ride. Not once during the time I lived among you did anyone have to lift a finger to help me out. My needs were always supplied by the believers from Macedonia province. I was careful never to be a burden to you, and I never will be, you can count on it. With Christ as my witness, it’s a point of honor with me, and I’m not going to keep it quiet just to protect you from what the neighbors will think. It’s not that I don’t love you; God knows I do. I’m just trying to keep things open and honest between us. And I’m not changing my position on this. I’d die before taking your money. I’m giving nobody grounds for lumping me in with those money-grubbing “preachers,” vaunting themselves as something special. They’re a sorry bunch—pseudo-apostles, lying preachers, crooked workers—posing as Christ’s agents but sham to the core. And no wonder! Satan does it all the time, dressing up as a beautiful angel of light. So it shouldn’t surprise us when his servants masquerade as servants of God. But they’re not getting by with anything. They’ll pay for it in the end.

The Authentic Is Coming

When you look at ministry there is something that is just not present in this day and hour … and that is the annoiting to be “authentic”.

When you are truly chosen by God , you dont have to buy instagram followers and facebook likes to be chosen… because GOD opens the door that no man can close (Revelation 3).

This is not a conspiracy. Despite what people think Oprah is not chosen by God. That is a trap. I see her soon doing more television shows about the church and christian love that are messy and full of drama . What does the Bible say?

Delightfully loved friends, don’t trust every spirit, but carefully examine what they say to determine if they are of God, because many false prophets have mingled into the world. Here’s the test for those with the genuine Spirit of God: they will confess Jesus as the Christ who has come in the flesh. Everyone who does not acknowledge that Jesus is from God has the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was coming and is already active in the world. Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world. They belong to this world and they articulate the spirit of this world, and the world listens to them.
1 John 4:1‭-‬5 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/1jn.4.1-5.TPT

The root of this is Christian’s do not know who they are. We have a very toxic spirit of low self-esteem … We dont talk about this often so it’s just sitting there dormant waiting for the right time to be exposed. Sometimes it takes a painful experience to learn a lesson from God.

But as for Oprah. In the time to come she may think that what she is about to do will prosper but GOD has the final say.

Devotion : Learning How To Forgive

It made the Lord happy that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, ‘I will give you what you have asked for. I will do it for these reasons: You have asked for a mind that understands how to rule people fairly. You have not asked for a long life or to be very rich. You have not asked for the death of your enemies. I will give to you a mind that is wise . And I will give to you a mind that understands things. As a result, there never has been, and never will be, anyone like you. I will give you more than this. I will give to you the things that you did not ask for. I will make you rich. People will know that you are great. While you are alive, there will be no better king than you.
1 Kings 3:10‭-‬13 EASY
https://bible.com/bible/2079/1ki.3.10-13.EASY

You Get To A Place In Life

Where you could care less about your enemies. You get so tired that you begin to accept the fact that the more you focus on your enemies the less successful you will be in your life.

Your enemies are moving on with their life so let them go. But here is the difference if you stay with GOD He will naturally destroy them for you…. because it’s in HIS WORD.

My Testimony

I have people do very evil things to me. A woman who I was friends with in the military and I was there for her through a miscarriage and took her to church … she took my photo and put me on a prostitution site with my phone number .

I’ve been made fun of for incest. I had to sleep in the same bed for years with the person who raped me..and no one cared about me.. and they still dont. Never will.

My own mother told me she doesnt like me.

I’ve been raped , opened up about it to a woman and she cussed me out a day later .

I’ve even been thrown out at two o’clock in the morning for reading the Bible.

I told a old boyfriend what happened to me he called me something like a dog.

I’ve been slapped by a old boyfriend and homeless.

I’ve lost mind

I had a woman who said she was my friend lie on me said I was involved with her husband , confess she was wrong , pretended to be my friend and then turned around and betrayed me again . And this same woman saw me cry at church about being sexually abused then turned around and betrayed me… and we are not even touching the surface of my life.

But I have come to the conclusion that I really don’t care what happens to my enemies. Its up to God. Sometimes you just have to let your enemies go so you can encounter inner healing. It’s hard but spend time with God and He will guide you the right people to help you.

So today rebuke thoughts of murder and suicide. Even if you have to call the hotline to have someone to talk to do it. Just dont give up on life .

Redeemed

Isaiah 53:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.

In life we take so many things for granted. You don’t realize how blessed you are to be married until you are divorced because you abused your spouse. You don’t realize how fortunate you are to have a home until you are homeless. You don’t realize the value of Biblical stewardship until you have lost all your money. You don’t realize so many things until you lose everything….

Psalm 68:5-6 The Message (MSG)

5-6 Father of orphans,
    champion of widows,
        is God in his holy house.
God makes homes for the homeless,
    leads prisoners to freedom,
        but leaves rebels to rot in hell.

*****

I think about Gomer, Hosea’s wife.. How she chased another man instead of staying with her husband. She left her life and stability because she wanted someone else.. The things of the world… and then after she was destroyed finally her Hosea… her husband came.

If you ever watch the movie Amazing Love, it will give you a understanding of marriage. Of Love. This woman ……. Gomer, a beautiful woman left her family for another man. One day, she didn’t want to dance… she didn’t want to engage in her new boyfriend’s festivities … and what did he do? He removed her from his presence.. All her pretty clothes? Gone. All her beauty? Now destroyed.

And to make matters worst… She is exposed in front of everyone.. and she sits there in bondage.. dirty and destroyed while people are making bets on her and mocking her.. Gomer… This beautiful woman now destroyed… and then…. Hosea comes… and even though she left him and even though she looks dirty with rags on… He picks her and takes her. That’s love.

My Testimony

I grew up in the church, yet I was so abused as a child. Sexually abused, mentally, physically, and emotionally… I was the Vice President of the Choir lead praise and worship and went to the wilderness… Then I started working again , had a good job as debt collector had another job working at Macy’s but left God.. and went to stripping and prostitution. I had a little boyfriend and one day I decided I didn’t want to dance anymore. I stopped going to the strip club and he just left me…

I am Gomer. I remember when I had everything… When I had money, when I had all that I could want and I left God… and lost everything… As I travel through life, waiting and wondering God when…. God why… God how… when are you going to do it? When are you going to deliver me… God when.. please God … please… when. I think of Gomer

Beaten, bruised, and dirty… yet redeemed.

Hosea 3 New Living Translation (NLT)

Hosea’s Wife Is Redeemed

3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she[a] commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the Lord still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.[b]”

2 So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver[c] and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.[d] 3 Then I said to her, “You must live in my house for many days and stop your prostitution. During this time, you will not have sexual relations with anyone, not even with me.[e]”

4 This shows that Israel will go a long time without a king or prince, and without sacrifices, sacred pillars, priests,[f] or even idols! 5 But afterward the people will return and devote themselves to the Lord their God and to David’s descendant, their king.[g] In the last days, they will tremble in awe of the Lord and of his goodness.

As I walk by faith and not by sight… Through the darkest valley… I pray . Sometimes that’s all you can do is pray. We take grace to far. We think we can do everything we want to do without natural consequences…. My consequence was losing everything the pretty clothes, my beauty, my success, my friends… but yet I will not despise the chastening of the LORD.

So today when you listen to stupid city girls and cardi b and they talk about prostitution, don’t be deceived.
