I want to share a thought with you God gave me at 5 am this morning and it has to do with David. I quickly made notes on my cell...just a rough draft but you will get the idea.
When a David shows up there are three kinds of people he will have to deal with
1.Older Brother
2. The King
3. The Giant
When God was to annoint the next king, David's father didn't even consider him as a possibility.
Your annointing will come BEFORE you face the giant.
When David showed up to the battle his brother questioned his motivation and dedication.
You will be questioned by those too fearful or unwilling to do the task that you are there to do.
The army allowed Goliath to keep them stagnant in the hills behind rocks neither in the valley*symbolic of the battle* or on the mountain top*symbolic of victory.
They let the enemy set the rule of engagement.
Look out for those that are unwilling or too afraid to do what you are prepared to do that will give you bad advice,*Well if I were you I'd do this...This is how we usually do this...We've always done it this way.*
When an annointed willing person comes along God will use him in ways that go against accepted traditions and popular opinions and viewpoints so that they will know that He is God and they won't get the credit for encouraging the *David* to follow tradition or man's way of thinking. Giants won't be killed by using someone else's annointing.
If it's so effective you believed in this armor you'd be out there doing what I'm about to do with just a slingshot.
God can do more with a obedient shepherd with a slingshot than a fearful disobedient armored king.
Giants seem fierce but they seek a war of attrition where no move is made by either side. If you aren't fighting you aren't obeying and if you aren't obeying they are winning by default.
David was a man after Gods own heart not just because of his worship. When you have the heart and mind of God you will see every giant you face as something to be attacked and overcame not avoided and given a platform.
You will go to war for who you love and when who you love just so happens to be the holy righteous all powerful sovereign Creator of heaven and earth who loves you with a unmeasurable love who has annointed and empowered you for battle the victorious outcome is assured.
Talent and position will carry you only so far but talent and position will never be a substitute for relationship and annointing.
And yes...We are plugged into two churches.
Not worried about them trying to "calm us down"
The fire of God consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stone altar and all the water....I daresay He can handle a few wet blankets.
