  • Hi, and welcome to UNLEARN.

  • Jeremiah 16:19 says, "O Lord, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction,

  • The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers

  • have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things."

  • It's time for us to UNLEARN the lies we have inherited because the truth will set you free.

  • What does it mean to be a man after God's own heart? We are told that David pleased

  • God, and that he was a man after God's own heart. We also recognize him as a model of

  • what it means to be a man of faith. We know that he wrote many of the Psalms, and was

  • considered a very good King, but are these the things that make him a man after God's

  • own heart? Lets examine the Scriptures to find out what was so special about David.

  • And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the

  • tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. And when He had removed him, He raised up for them

  • David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse,

  • a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.

  • We know that God was not happy with Saul, which is why he was eventually replaced by

  • David as king. But what did Saul do to displease God?

  • And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord

  • your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom

  • over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for

  • Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over

  • His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you."

  • Samuel makes it very clear that the reason Saul was removed is because he did not keep

  • God's commandments. This is in contrast to what a man after God's own heart would do.

  • He was seeking a king who would keep His commandments, and so, he selected David to become king.

  • David loved the Lord with all of his heart, soul, mind, and strength, and this love finds

  • expression in obedience. That is why John writes,

  • For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are

  • not burdensome.

  • David was known for his Psalms, and his love for music and dance. Let's examine the words

  • that he wrote in the Psalms to see if they reveal the desire of his heart.

  • Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of

  • sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

  • And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers

  • of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither;

  • And whatever he does shall prosper.

  • We see from the very first Psalm that David is already talking about delighting and meditating

  • on the law, and you will see that this is a common theme in his writings. He would not

  • sing about his love for the commandments if he did not actually love them. Now, lets take

  • just a moment to read over some other Psalms he wrote.

  • The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure,

  • making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment

  • of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

  • The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice. The law of

  • his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

  • I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart."

  • Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law.

  • Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the LordWith my whole

  • heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandmentsOpen my eyes, that

  • I may see Wondrous things from Your lawGive me understanding, and I shall keep Your

  • law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,

  • For I delight in itSo shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will

  • walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts... And I will delight myself in Your commandments,

  • Which I love... I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments... The law

  • of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver... Let Your tender

  • mercies come to me, that I may live; For Your law is my delight... Unless Your law had been

  • my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts,

  • For by them You have given me life... Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all

  • the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever

  • with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation.

  • I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep Your precepts... It is time for You

  • to act, O Lord, For they have regarded Your law as void. Rivers of water run down from

  • my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.

  • It sure sounds like David had a heart for God's Law. Did you notice that he always speaks

  • highly about the Law, and he encourages others to have this same attitude about it. His delight

  • was in the Law of God, and his desire was to obey with his whole heart.

  • Now, one last thing to consider is the legacy that he wanted to leave to his son. This is

  • important, because he was leaving Solomon in charge of the entire Kingdom of Israel,

  • and he would want his son to be a good king and follow in his father's footsteps. So,

  • what did David pray for his son before he died?

  • And give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and

  • Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the temple for which I have made

  • provision."

  • A father's prayer for his son comes from the deepest desires of his heart. The only reason

  • for David to pray this way for his son is because he truly loved the Law of God, and

  • truly wanted his son to keep the commandments.

  • Now listen to what God said to Solomon when he became king.

  • Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness,

  • to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

  • then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your

  • father..."

  • It is pretty clear from the Scriptures that God's desire is for us to obey Him, and it

  • is apparent that David was a man after God's own heart, who made it his delight to keep

  • the commandments. By now it should be obvious to you that to be a man after God's own heart,

  • like David, is to be a man who pursues God's Law, and who seeks to delight in and obey

  • God's commandments. This is what it means to love the Lord your God with all of your

  • heart, soul, mind, and strength.

  • I want to close this teaching with God's own words, expressing the desire He has for His

  • people.

  • Thank you for taking time to watch this video. I hope it has challenged you to seek the truth,

  • and UNLEARN the lies we have inherited.
