Sylvie Croslard examines King David's willingness to appear undignified before God, contrasting his humility with Michal's pride. She argues that true glory comes through spoken authority: believers inherit the "key of David" to bind and loose, and aligning speech with God's will activates power to shift circumstances from cursed to blessed.

In today's episode, you'll find out how David used the glory cloud to his advantage. Hello, it's been a while, but I'm resuming podcasting. I'm out of the cave, I'm being resurrected. Hallelujah! Welcome to this new season, and I'll be sharing new teachings with you. So today we're looking at how David was using the glory cloud to his advantage. David was one aligned leader that we can look up to. Now today we're looking at specific passage about him, which is the passage when he's back from war, celebrating and having that conversation with Michel. So, the title is Disposable Dignity Equals Removable Glory, and we'll see how that's going to pan out for Michel. So we are in, if I can find this passage, 2 Samuel to begin with, if you want to catch your Bible. Lord Jesus, anoint my lips that I would speak, preach, pray, and prophesy with fire and authority. Do share this podcast with friends, subscribe. So, so going back to this passage today, we are in 2 Samuel, um, and, um, this is when, um, David, um has come back from— has come back from war, has finished the season of war, is celebrating with everybody in Jerusalem and blessing everybody around him. And, um, but this is not going down too well with his wife, who was Saul's daughter. So she was from a different covenant completely. Let's read this. When David returned home to bless his household, Michal's daughter Othol came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants, as any vulgar fellow would!" David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord." who chose me rather than your father and anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord's people Israel, I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor. And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death. So the glory moved on because the king spoke. I spoke a move of the glory. Michal's words showed, um, how she saw herself and David. She saw herself as being a cut above everyone else because of the crowns that they wore. Um, crowns are only awarded after battles and suffering. Um, they are produced when we get low, because the only way to promotion is through humility, getting on our faces and on our knees to seek revelation or to pour out. Misha had not caught on. She was still in a place of pride. She had moved out of her father's house, but she brought in a, um, A displaced perspective, a point of view that was out of place since it was not aligned with God's Kingdom's principles. In Matthew 15:11, we read, "It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that defiles and dishonors him, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles and dishonors him." That's what Jesus taught us. And the Greek "come out" means to depart, be discharged. Um, or to project. So Michal was projecting some venom on King David, and he said, look, your words are trying to smear the glory that's on me, but this is boomerang on you because you've now lost your glory. You've lost your shine. I've taken a shine to you, but I'm putting the glory you had on the servant girls. It now rests on them. And we see in the New Testament that once Jesus also took a shine to something. He took a shine to a fig tree. And then, so on the way to Bethany, we read, on the next day when they had left Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if it would if He would find anything on it, but He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. He said to it, "No one will ever eat fruit from you again!" And His disciples were listening. And then further down, in the morning, as they were passing by, the disciples saw that the fig tree had withered away from the roots up. And remembering, Peter said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered!" Jesus replied, "Have faith in God. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him." Jesus was a descendant from David and had the key of David running down his DNA. Which is from Isaiah 22:22: 'Then I will set on his shoulder the key of the house of David. When he opens, no one will shut; when he shuts, no one will open.' So the glory which had touched Michelle for a time got displaced, got removed from her. She lost her shine and rested on the several girls. Jesus shows a similar principle of taking the shalom, putting it down, and taking it back up. In John 14:27. The shalom is an environment testing tool. If it tests positive to peace, apostles stay. If it tests negative, apostles take it back and move away. Um, as sons and daughters of the Most High God, we also have the key of David going down our DNA and the authority to pick up something and drop it somewhere else, as well as the authority of the believer where we put our faith. We need to to consider it done. And we bind, um, and loose as well as curse. We need to, to line our thoughts and intentions with that, with our mouth, to see shifts on Earth because they have already happened in the spirit. When we proclaim, we join the dots between the spirit realm and the earth realm, bringing a new dimension to our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 'Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' Our mouths can bring life or death, God's will or Satan's will, depending on what we agree with. Are you agreeing with heaven today? Are you agreeing that there's a portion of glory which shall rest on you and your family as of now? Are you coming off offended mode or into blessed mode? Um, and that's a power switch. If your brain switches to being blessed and not cursed, then so will your circumstances, because you will speak into them God's will, Heaven's will. Thank you, Father, for highlighting this, this strategy to us, um, today. Thank you that you've blessed us with this revelation. Realign everything in us, Lord, that our minds will catch on with heaven and our hearts will also catch on with heaven to declare what you want to see declared on earth. Because your, your word is already done in heaven. It only depends on us to catch on in order to declare it. For it to come to pass on Earth. Holy Spirit, deal with us. Ha! Cut out all that needs to get cut out. That's hindering our declarations. Catch this, catch this, did I? Thank you, Jesus, for bringing our hearts and our minds in alignment with home, with heaven. For when we're at home with heaven, we Bring those home, those homes to, to Earth. We build those homes on Earth. May the Lord bless you, make his face shine on you, and be, and be gracious to you. And give you peace. Bye for now. Thank you for listening to the Line Leader Podcast. Enrollment is open until Monday. You can try free for 7 days. The link is in the description.
