1Sa 24:1-22  And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.  (2)  Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.  (3)  And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.  (4)  And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which YHWH said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.  (5)  And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.  (6)  And he said unto his men, YHWH forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, YHWH's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of YHWH.  (7)  So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.  (8)  David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My master the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.  (9)  And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?  (10)  Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that YHWH had delivered thee today into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my master; for he is YHWH's anointed.  (11)  Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.  (12)  YHWH judge between me and thee, and YHWH avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.  (13)  As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.  (14)  After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.  (15)  YHWH therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.  (16)  And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.  (17)  And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.  (18)  And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when YHWH had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.  (19)  For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore YHWH reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.  (20)  And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.  (21)  Swear now therefore unto me by YHWH, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.  (22)  And David swore unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up unto the hold.

Step Away From The Vehicle!

1Pe 2:3-12  If so be ye have tasted that YHWH is gracious.  (4)  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of YHWH, and precious,  (5) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an Set Apart priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to YHWH by YHWSHUA Messiah. (6)  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.  (7)  Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,  (8)  And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.  (9)  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a Set Apart nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:  (10)  Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of YHWH: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.  (11)  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;  (12)  Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify YHWH in the day of visitation.

We need to realize that our lives are not for OUR pleasure!

1Co 3:16-17  Know ye not that ye are the temple of YHWH, and that the Spirit of YHWH dwelleth in you?  (17)  If any man defile the temple of YHWH, him shall YHWH destroy; for the temple of YHWH is Set Apart, which temple ye are.

1Co 6:19-20  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Set Apart Spirit which is in you, which ye have of YHWH, and ye are not your own?  (20)  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify YHWH in your body, and in your spirit, which are YHWH's.

Eph 2:19-22  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of YHWH;  (20)  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, YHWSHUA Messiah himself being the chief corner stone;  (21)  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a Set Apart temple in The Master:  (22)  In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of YHWH through the Spirit.

Rev 4:10-11  The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,  (11)  Thou art worthy, O YHWH, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Pro 16:3-4  Commit thy works unto YHWH, and thy thoughts shall be established.  (4)  YHWH hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Isa 43:21  This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.

Rom 11:36  For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

1Sa 24:4-7  And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which YHWH said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.  (5)  And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.  (6)  And he said unto his men, YHWH forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, YHWH's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of YHWH.  (7)  So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

Our Body is a Vehicle for the Spirit to indwell!

Eze 36:26-27  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.  (27)  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Joh 14:16-17  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;  (17)  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

2Co 6:16-17  And what agreement hath the temple of YHWH with idols? for ye are the temple of the living Elohim; as YHWH hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.  (17)  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith YHWH, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

We Need to Stop Living After the Flesh and Live unto Righteousness!

Rom 8:10-12  And if Messiah be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  (11)  But if the Spirit of him that raised up YHWSHUA from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Messiah from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  (12)  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Rom 6:5-13  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:  (6)  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.  (7)  For he that is dead is freed from sin.  (8)  Now if we be dead with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with him:  (9)  Knowing that Messiah being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.  (10)  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto YHWH.  (11)  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto YHWH through YHWSHUA Messiah our Master.  (12)  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  (13)  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto YHWH, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto YHWH.

Eph 4:22-24  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;  (23)  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;  (24)  And that ye put on the new man, which after YHWH is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Col 3:5-10  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:  (6)  For which things' sake the wrath of YHWH cometh on the children of disobedience:  (7)  In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.  (8)  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.  (9)  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;  (10)  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Gal 5:22-25  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  (23)  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  (24)  And they that are Messiah's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  (25)  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
