“Happy” is the Diviner’s Rod!

Psalms 144:15 (KJV)

15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

What Is a Diviner’s Rod?

*Refers in general to the practice of using a forked stick, rod, pendulum, or similar device to locate underground water, minerals, or other hidden or lost substances.

Who Is Your God?

Is Revealed by “Happy”

God’s People are HAPPY!

If Your God is the Lord-

Then You’re “Divined” As Happy…

Otherwise-

Somebody or Something Else is Your God-

Regardless of your claims…

Because the proof is in the pudding!

“Happy”

Is that People…

Whose God is The Lord!

Cave Prayers

Psalms 142:7 (KJV)

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

When we come out of-

The Cave!

It’s a brand new day!

When the Lord delivers and brings us up out of The Cave-

Our Prayers Change in Tone!

⁃ The Righteous Will Surround Us!

⁃ Bountiful Blessings Await!

*If Our Days Were Always in the Cave-We’d Be Depressed!

*If Our Days Were Always Above Ground- We’d be Unthankful…

Cave Prayers Forge Strong Christians!

Cave Prayers

Psalms 142:6 (KJV)

6Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Another Revelation that is only found in Cave Prayers…

Realization that you’re no match for your enemies…

As long as you think you can handle “this one”

You are not quite where God needs you!

God doesn’t just handle the Goliaths in your life-

He needs to handle the Bathsheba’s too!

Cave Prayers make you realize who really is in control!

1 Peter 4:11

Cave Prayers

Psalms 142:4-5 (KJV)

4I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

5I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Alone in a cave has brought David to a Special Revelation.

ALONE- Completely Alone…

God has allowed David to Realize that all before were mere crutches…

Crutches that only temporarily propped him up!

Cave Prayers are the realization that what we really needed all along-

Was not somebody but

God!

He’s waiting on you in a cave near you…

Are You Willing?

Cave Prayers

A Prayer when he was in the cave.

Psalms 142: 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

When I Was Overwhelmed

In This Cave…

Then The Lord, He Alone Knows My Path and Direction!

Self-Help is Disastrous

God Help is Glorious!

So Then It No Longer Matters What the Enemy Has in Store!

Because God Knows…

Cave Prayers

A Prayer when he was in the cave.

Psalms 142:2

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

While the Cave May Be Dark and Lonely

Who You Tell Is More Important

Than What You Tell…

When Words Fail, God Hears the Language of The Heart!

Complaining Becomes Toxic When It’s Not Done in a Conversation With God, “Prayer”

Revealing Troubles May Come Back to Haunt You, Unless Expressed to God in Secret During Prayer….

Cave Prayers

Psalms 142:1 (KJV)

1(Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.) I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

A Cave is a Hole In a Rock…

Many Seek Therapists and a Willing Ear

When Life Has Placed Them in Caves of Despair…

But David Found That Dark Times Like These Were Better Spent Talking To Someone Who Could Make a Difference!

“The Lord!”

• Others May Sympathize and Console

• Others May Even Agree

• Others May Share

• Others May Identify

But Only The Lord Can Truly Bring You Out of The Cave!

Only the Lord Can Comfort and Heal the Brokenness…

Only God Hears the “Cry” in Your Prayer!
