“ Pray Psalm 35 ”
Dr. Morecraft explains that today there are powerful forces in place and aggressively active in the political arena, the media, educational institutions, popular culture, and many churches, that are trying constantly to silence and discredit those of us who stand for Christ and His Word. They want to steal from us our country, our children, and our children's future. These people and institutions are constantly and deceitfully harassing us, and accusing us of things that are not true. They try to make us look like fools, and the only way to silence them is to pray Psalm 35. How are we to work to overturn their efforts to de-Christianize America? We must pray the prayer of Psalm 35 sincerely, continually, and fervently. |

“ God’s anger and God’s favor ”
As part of this sermon, Dr. Morecraft quotes from John Calvin's comments on Psalm 30:5: "We are hereby taught . . . with how much meekness of spirit, and with what prompt obedience [David] submitted his back to God’s rod. We know that from the very first bloom of youth, during almost his whole life, he was so tried by a multiplied accumulation of afflictions, that he might have been accounted miserable and wretched above all other men; yet in celebrating the goodness of God, he acknowledges that he had been lightly afflicted only for a short period, and as it were in passing. . . . If we are prosperous, we devour God’s blessings without feeling that they are His . . . but if anything sorrowful or adverse befall us, we immediately complain of His severity, as if He had never dealt kindly and mercifully with us. In short, our own fretfulness and impatience under affliction makes every minute an age; while, on the other hand, our repining and ingratitude lead us to imagine that God’s favor, however long it may be exercised towards us, is but for a moment. It is our own perversity, therefore, in reality, which hinders us from perceiving that God’s anger is but of short duration, while His favor is continued towards us during the whole course of our life." |

“ America is a covenant-breaking nation ”
Pastor Price explains that our forefathers in England, Scotland and Ireland swore the Solemn League and Covenant, which was a national covenant, sworn by the representatives of those nations on behalf of themselves and that generation, and they included their posterity within the covenant. We are that posterity. Therefore, it is not only those of that generation that are bound, but all succeeding generations are bound by the covenant. When nations break covenants with God, the covenant does not end. Instead, those nations become covenant breakers. The people of North America were colonies of Great Britain, therefore we are bound by that same covenant. The United States and Canada are covenant-breaking nations because we have not kept that covenant. As a result, we are under God's judgment. |

“ Still waters ”
In discussing Psalm 23:2, Dr. Morecraft explains that there are all kinds of occasions in this life that Satan can use to fill us full of stress and anxiety. And the Lord Jesus Christ gives us freedom from those worries and those fears as we completely entrust ourselves and our families to Him. And it is because of that that Paul could say in Philippians 4:6, "be anxious for nothing," or in other words, "don't worry about anything," "but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Paul is saying there what the imagery of Psalm 23:2 means: "he leads us beside still waters." There's nothing in this life that you need to worry about. Nothing. Be anxious for nothing. Instead of being upset by things in your life that cause other people to worry themselves silly, you respond to those things with prayer, thanksgiving and supplication. |
