Lay Teacher Samuel D Horner
Who was to blame for Ahithophel’s bitterness? Listen
to Pastor Damian Kyle explain how the best friend and a counsel to King David had the right to be infuriated and bitter. The
problem was that Ahithophel allowed bitterness to take control of his life. Ahithophel was the grandfather of Bathsheba. Bathsheba’s
husband had been murdered by the king. The question is, Who was to blame for Ahithophel’s bitterness? Ahithophel’s
bitterness leads him to try to destroy the king. The bitterness
grew so great that Ahithophel tried to arrange the murder of King David Himself. The store ends with bitterness leading to
thousands dying and Ahithophel committing suicide. Ahithophel knew nothing about Nathan’s confrontation
“’David’, you are the man.’” (2 Samuel 12:7) Ahithophel knew nothing about David writing Psalms 51 to be read and sung before the congregation.
I, Sam Horner, beg of you, Please don’t allow bitterness to destroy your life. Ahithophel had a right to be
infuriated and bitter as you may have. Please allow Pastor Damian Kyle’s teaching, “Breaking Free From the Barrenness
of Bitterness” to minister healing to you.

Heartbreak Over a Rebellious Child -- 2 Samuel 18:32-33 Listen as Pastor Damian Kyle of Calvary Chapel Modesto tells how far one can go when driven by rebellion and bitterness. Pastor Damian tells of the heartaches
and tears that King David had over the problems of rape, murder and rebellion that were a part of his children’s lives’.
Absalom in his own mind had every reason for the murder of his step brother and his rebellion towards his father. Sometimes
rebellious children will use the sins of their parents as an excuse for their own wickedness but God will not allow it. Ultimately
God stepped in to put a stop to the rebellious one. Heartbreak Over a Rebellious Child -- 2 Samuel 18:32-33

Psalm 103 God shows justice for the oppressed, supports, forgives, and forgets. He is slow to anger, and abounding
in mercy. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities Hear, read and study more on Psalm 103

What
thought, hurt or sin occupies my mind and my time? What am I driven by? What am I a victim of? What am I in bondage to? What
is it that drives me? Is there hope of every being set free from what has become an enslaving weight and bondage that I carry? I
will let "The Great Counselor" answer your question. "Jesus replied, 'I tell you
the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it
forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" John 8:34-36 (NIV)
Heartbreak of a Friend's Betrayal -- 2 Samuel 17:23 Listen as Pastor Damian Kyle of Calvary Chapel Modesto tells how counsel from someone who has a bent and twisted agenda of revenge will show itself to be
poor counsel.Ahithophel, David’s’
best friend was a legend of wisdom who was poisoned by bitterness. The problem of trying to bring about vengeances on another
can open a floodgate of death when opportunity is presented. Anyone who has a bent on vengeances will give
counsel to others from their own heart and out of their heart their mouth will speak that which will pollute the counsel to
the one seeking counsel. As you listen, Pastor Kyle explains, God is totally intolerant of Unforgivenes. Unforgivenes cost
Ahithophel his life. Heartbreak of a Friend's Betrayal -- 2 Samuel 17:23
