How Could I have gone this far?

  1. In the video I shared a dream I had in which I had made choices I never imagined I would make. The downward progression began with a single choice. Read 2 Samuel Chapter 11. What was the first wrong choice David made?

 

  1. What were the series of choices he continued to make?

 

  1. If King David would been aware of the doors he would open to evil because of his sins do you think he would have chosen differently?

 

  1. Proverbs 14:12 tells us that “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (NKJV). How does this scripture apply to the downfall of King David and his family?

 

  1. How can we apply this scripture to what is now going on in our nation?

 

  1. King David’s “own eyes” led him to lust, adultery, and murder. What are some other choices men and women make that open doors to the enemy?

 

  1. The words “it happened” appear in the first two verses in 2 Samuel Chapter 11. Do you believe David not going to war and seeing Bathsheba were circumstances or diabolical set ups? Why or why not?

 

  1. In Genesis 4:7 God warns Cain, “sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it” (NKJV). What thoughts come to your mind when you read the words, desire, door, and rule?

 

  1. Cain opened the door through hatred and jealousy. Have you recently asked the Lord if there are any open doors to the enemy in your life? If so, what do you need to do to shut them in order to rule over sin?

 

  1. In Luke 6:37, Jesus tells us to“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven” (NKJV). What does this scripture mean to you?

 

11. Thankfully, there is no mess so big that the Lord can’t clean it up and bring forth His           glory. How can Romans 8:28 encourage us when we are in the middle of a mess?

 

Be abundantly blessed!
