Pastor Nick sheds light on the imprecations of scripture - times when prayers are lifted up asking God to punish the wicked. Looking at various passages of scripture, we see that it is right and good to pray for God to judge as He has told us He would, always keeping in mind that it is the Lord's discretion to extend grace to any whom He pleases to forgive and save. 

Psalm 109 (The Message)Andrew and Edwin discover that imprecations are only valid when we can truly say the point is for God's glory, not our revenge.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

Imprecation means speaking curses upon people. Many psalms include the imprecations. So what can we learn from the Imprecatory Psalms?

Psalms 69: An Exegesis Psalms 69 is one of the most intense and passionate psalms in the Book of Psalms, attributed to King David. It is a psalm of lament, where the psalmist cries out to God in the midst of deep distress and persecution. The psalm is marked by its vivid imagery, emotional depth, and prophetic elements, often regarded as messianic in Christian interpretation. Structure and Content: The psalm can be divided into several sections, each reflecting a different aspect of the psalmist's plea to God. 1.Cry for Help (Verses 1-5): The psalm begins with a desperate plea for salvation. The imagery of deep waters and a miry pit illustrates the overwhelming nature of the psalmist's suffering. He feels engulfed and unable to stand firm. “Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.” 2.Confession of Sins and Appeal for Mercy (Verses 5-12): The psalmist acknowledges his sins and faults but emphasizes that his suffering is primarily due to his faithfulness to God. He describes the scorn and mockery he faces from others. “O God, You know my foolishness; and my sins are not hidden from You. Let not those who wait for You, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed because of me.” 3.Prayer for Deliverance (Verses 13-18): David prays earnestly for God's intervention. He appeals to God's steadfast love and mercy, asking for deliverance from his dire situation. “But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, in the acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercy, hear me in the truth of Your salvation.” 4.Description of Suffering (Verses 19-21): The psalmist details the depth of his humiliation and rejection, which is often seen as a foreshadowing of the suffering of Christ. “Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. They also gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.” 5.Imprecation against Enemies (Verses 22-28): This section contains some of the most challenging verses, where the psalmist calls for judgment upon his persecutors. This reflects a raw, human desire for justice against those who have caused his suffering. “Let their table become a snare before them, and their well-being a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; and make their loins shake continually.” 6.Conclusion with Hope and Praise (Verses 29-36): Despite his anguish, the psalmist ends on a note of hope and praise. He expresses confidence that God will deliver him and that his faithfulness will ultimately lead to God's glory. “But I am poor and sorrowful; let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” Theological Themes: 1.Suffering and Persecution: The psalm vividly portrays the experience of suffering and persecution, highlighting the emotional and physical toll it takes on the faithful. It serves as a reminder of the struggles that believers may face and the importance of seeking God in times of distress. 2.Confession and Repentance: The acknowledgment of personal sin and the plea for mercy underscore the importance of humility and repentance in the believer's relationship with God. 3.Divine Justice: The imprecatory prayers reflect a desire for divine justice, which can be understood as a cry for God to uphold righteousness and punish wickedness. 4.Messianic Prophecy: Several verses in Psalm 69 are seen as prophetic references to the suffering of Christ, particularly verse 21, which is cited in the New Testament in relation to Jesus' crucifixion. 5.Hope and Praise: The psalmist's transition from despair to hope and praise illustrates the enduring faith in God's ultimate deliverance and the power of worship even in the midst of suffering. Conclusion: Psalm 69 is a powerful expression of human anguish and divine faithfulness. It captures the raw emotions of suffering, the plea for divine intervention, and the assurance of God's salvation. Its messianic elements connect it deeply with the New Testament, offering a profound reflection on the nature of suffering, redemption, and hope.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In this week's episode, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve take a look at a difficult group of psalms in the Bible--those that wish for revenge or cursing on the enemies of the ones praying.  For many of us, we wouldn't have even known this was in the Bible, and for others, we just don't know what to do with such angry--and often violent--words brought to God!  So in this conversation, we'll explore some ways to deal with these psalms, how they might give voice to pain that needs to be expressed somehow, and why it's good news that God is free to respond to our prayers in whatever ways God sees fit, even if it's not what we asked for or wanted.  Join us for this week's episode here on Crazy Faith Talk!

2 Samuel – Absalom's Conspiracy Psalms – Morning Prayer of Trust in God, A Cry of Distress and Imprecation on Adversaries John – The Woman at the Well, The Samaritans

This sermon elaborates on the biblical principles of imprecatory prayers, aiming to guide believers in invoking God's judgment against evildoers with righteousness and without malice. Drawing on scriptural examples, particularly the Psalms, the sermon emphasizes aligning such prayers with God's justice, ensuring they are God-centered and reflect His promises and righteousness. The discourse also tackles common misconceptions and ethical considerations, positioning these prayers as a spiritual discipline and a theological assertion that upholds the integrity of God's word against sin.Suggested ResourcesThe Psalms: Rejoice, the Lord is King (Preaching the Word) by James JohnstonA Commentary on the Psalms: 3 Volume Set (Kregel Exegetical Library) by Allen RossThe Treasury of David (3 Volume Set) by Charles Haddon SpurgeonPsalms Two Volume Set: Evangelical Theological Commentary (EBTC) by James M.

How should we respond to what we're seeing happen in the Middle East? Should we hate Israel's enemies? Isn't that what the imprecatory Psalms are all about? But didn't Jesus say to bless our enemies? How do we reconcile the two? Have a listen for a balanced approach.

They're not in our hymnals. But they're in the Bible. And so they should be in our hymnals. Thus, a great treasure has been stolen from Christians to learn how to pray in the way of the Imprecatory Psalms. We're trying to fix that. In this episode, Ramirez leads us through what imprecation is. Then he demonstrates from the psalms and examples in the Bible, where the saints of old imprecate God's enemies, and so their enemies also, so that we can follow in their train. Host: Fr.

Psalm 69 (NCV)It's Friday. That means Andrew and Edwin strive to find Jesus in Psalm 69. But they admit we struggle with how much Jesus is found in this psalm because David's prayers of imprecations and curses seem so different from Jesus's prayer on the cross for His tormenters to be forgiven. Our hosts look to Paul's use of the psalm and the imprecations in Romans to untangle this concern.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

Imprecation is an important feature of the Psalms, indicating that it was a key aspect of Israel's life and worship as Yahweh's covenant -son.- But this raises the question of the Christian's relationship with imprecation. Should Christians pray prayers of imprecation as the psalmists did-- If so, how should Christians understand and approach imprecation, especially in the light of Jesus' instruction in the Sermon on the Mount -Matthew 5-43-48--- This sermon considers imprecation as an aspect of sonship, and how it has been transformed in Jesus the Messiah.

Just in time for the spookiest of seasons comes a spine-chilling installment of Terminus with the team you fear most- The Death Metal Guy and Harried Terminus Intern Hyper Shaman. As is (usually) tradition for this combo, we've got a death metal centered episode for you, but fear not: only one of the records discussed has prominent slams! First off, though, is a look at the new Daemogog record, which follows in the style of bands like Astral Tomb in its gangly, abstract take on brutal death technique and dissonant melodic motifs. First to bat is the newest record by Imprecation, stalwarts of the Texas scene, who provide yet another blast of traditional, blasphemous death metal from the early 90s. While this music is immediate and straightforward from moment to moment, it's also deceptively complex owing to elaborate song structures and a striking rhythmic performance. Imprecation rejects the conceits of nowadays "OSDM" and strikes at the heart of what made the original records of that era great. FFO Morbid Angel, Profanatica, the literal devil, etc. Concluding the proceedings is the third (!) appearance of Anal Stabwound on the show with the project's second full length record. To the shock of absolutely no one who's been paying attention, the new record is a dizzying display of technical and compositional prowess. Expanding from the jazz-infused style of later Defeated Sanity, Anal Stabwound combines the brain-melting rhythmic concepts of The Sanguinary Impetus with an emphasis on readable and even catchy songwriting. I'm still mad at Nikhil though. 0:00:00 - Intro/Daemogog - Yawning Expanse Yearning (Bent Window Records) 0:23:51 - Imprecation - In Nomine Diaboli (Dark Descent) 1:02:15 - Interlude - Resurrection - “Smell of Blood” fr.

Happy Bday to us!! This week's episode marks the 16th anniversary of Radioactive Metal being on the air. RAM's humble beginnings were two dedicated Metalheads goofing around in the basement. All at a time when podcasts were barely a thing. Now all these years later and...nothing's changed. We're still luvin' what we're doing on a weekly basis. So to celebrate we let our hair down, had a couple adult bevies and shot the shite'. We discussed the "Dio: Dreamers Never Die" doc, Werewolf By Night, blink-182 tix, Scooby Doo, The Crow reboot and the "Hollywood Ugly" concept. Musically, we crank new and used from Xentrix, Sword, The Exploited, Ghoul, Imprecation, Larkin Poe and Melted Bodies. Horns Up and Stay Healthy! This Episode is sponsored by Trve Kvlt Coffee.

Psalm 58 (NCV)Andrew and Edwin uncover a facet of Jesus we often overlook. Jesus is judge. He came to judge and defeat sin, Satan, and death which He accomplished in the crucifixion and resurrection. He is coming again to judge and defeat all those who determine to side with sin, Satan, and death. We must be on Jesus's side.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

Psalm 58 (NASB95)We struggle with imprecations like those found in Psalm 58.

Psalm 55 (New International Version)Andrew and Edwin consider the imprecatory nature of some of David's statements in Psalm 55. They remind us of what we learned in Season 2 about the nature of imprecation in the psalms. In this conversation, they notice the imprecatory statements don't come from a vacuum, but from the history of God's people.
