The message argues that David's fear of man, rooted in selfishness, is first seen when he accepts the women's accolades, which pits him against King Saul. The discussion highlights David's compromise when he marries Saul's daughters and later leaves his wife, Michal, with a "psychotic murderous Maniac." The talk also connects David's fear of man to his later multiplication of wives and concubines, which God had forbidden kings to do, leading to his heart turning away.---- The fear of man is a key motivator in human life and is at its core, selfishness.- David, like other biblical figures, struggled with the fear of man, which led to compromise and personal failure.- A husband's responsibility is to protect his wife, a duty which David failed when he abandoned Michal with her father, King Saul.- The Bible forbids kings from multiplying wives, as this would cause their hearts to turn away from God, a command David ignored.- The purpose of discipleship is to learn God's voice and to be so filled with His Spirit that it overflows into every area of our lives.- True Christianity is not a "get into heaven free pass," but a life of being saved from sin and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live like Christ.- The Bible contains wisdom for daily life and relationships, not just salvation in the afterlife.---The video concludes by asserting that the reason we struggle to understand God's judgments in the Old Testament is that since the cross, Satan has lost his power to deceive people groups in their entirety. The ultimate takeaway is that Jesus saves us not just from sin in order to get into heaven, but he saves us so we can be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a life where we do not continue to sin.---#FearOfMan #KingDavid #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Marriage #Selfishness #MichalAlive Inc LinksWebsite: https://www.keytorevival.org/The International Ministerial Institute: https://www.keytorevival.org/imi/Your Face, O Lord, I Shall Seek (and other resources): https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/resources/Order Resources: https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/order/
