Don't Fall In Battle

 2 Samuel 21:17

Our text passage shows us a time David the King almost fell in battle.

He was almost killed by a Philistine giant, he was blessed enough to live to tell the story.

King David fought a lot of battles in his life time.

The similarity between King David's era and the end times is that there are lots of battles and warfare.

There is no disputing the fact that we are in the end times, the signs are all around us.

One of the signs of the end times according to Jesus is that nations will rise against nations and there will be wars and rumors of wars.

Matthew 24

With the direction the nations of the world are going, with nations showing allegiance to nations at war, with what's happening between Israel and Palestine, Ukraine and Russia, only God's mercy can prevent world war 3.

As it is in the physical so it is in the spiritual.

We are in times of intense spiritual battles and warfare.

As king David fought his arch enemies the Philistines who were largely giants and skilled warriors, we will find ourselves facing challenges that seem Herculean and big.

Today's enemy giants are principalities, powers, rulers of this world, master spirits in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:12

They are wicked forces that comprise of fallen angels, demons, and their human agents.

Don't fall in battle.

That it looks as if you are falling doesn't mean you will fall, that it looks like you are going down doesn't mean you will go down.

It is not God's perfect will that we end up casualties of life, it is not God's will that we fall in life's battle, it is not God's will that we end up victims of life's warfare.

1 John 5:4

God is able to keep you from falling in battle.

Jude 24

Among all the kings in the Bible King David had the most battles to fight, yet he never lost a fight on the battle field.

God was faithful to keep him.

God will be faithful to keep you in your battles and warfare.

1 Corinthians 10:13

God makes a way of escape for His own.

At the time David almost fell on the battle field, God orchestrated it that he was helped.

King David was saved and didn't go down.

He had his elite force of mighty men who were concerned about him, one of them Abishai took down the giant who almost killed David.

That giant was one of the brothers of Goliath who David had killed years back as a younger man.

May God surround you with the right people, with people who will help you win, with people who will encourage you and be a blessing to you.

May God surround you with people who will hold up your hands when you are down.

May God connect you to those who matter to your destiny..

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
