King David was a man after Gods
heart. Although he had gone through many battles, he was an overcomer and
became a leader. When he was running from Saul, the Lord sent him to the cave
of Adullam. There were four hundred men in this cave that were in distress, in
debt and discontented. David taught them how to be invincible warriors as they
were raised up and trained as a mighty army. In 1 Samuel chapter 30 when David
and his men returned home from war, they reached Ziklag, and found it destroyed
by fire, and their wives, sons and daughters were taken captive by the
Amalekites. David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to
weep. They reached the breaking point and the people even turned against David
wanting to stone him. But then something rose up in David. He strengthened
himself in the Lord, and asked Him; "Shall I pursue this troop? Will I
overtake them?" The Lord responded: "Pursue, for you shall surely
overtake them and without fail recover all."
The Lord says, although the
battle's have been fierce and everything in your life seems to be destroyed and
lost forever, you shall not be defeated. As you encourage yourself in Me just
as King David did, you will gain spiritual momentum once again. Set your mind
on things above and resist all discouragement. Stay strong and trust Me in the
battle. Even when the enemy comes in with an ambush, the armor that I have
provided for you will be sufficient to be victorious in every battle. Stand
immovable knowing that I have given you the ability and the authority to
overcome every assault that is raised up against you. Do not deviate from the
truth and don't ever retreat. No matter how things appear in the natural, stand
on the promises that I have given to you. Don't deviate from My plans. Don't lose
sight of My word. Listen for My voice in the midst of the storm.
Rise Up in Faith
The assignments sent from the
enemy are meant to divert your attention off your purpose, but as you pursue
the dream, the calling and the vision that I have placed in your heart, your
perseverance will catapult you ahead into what you have been called to do.
These misfortunes that were sent to destroy you will strengthen you as you
endure hardness as a good soldier without wavering. Do not allow the enemy to intimidate you and
don't be moved by his ineffectual strategies. Rise up as men and women of faith
and take the position of the warrior that I have created you to be. Do not
allow fear or bitterness to take root and refuse to be moved by the things that
you hear and see in the natural. As you trust in Me, I will make the crooked
paths straight. I will not fail you or lead you astray but as you strengthen
yourself in Me, you shall surely pursue, overtake and without fail recover all,
says the Lord.
1 Samuel 30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of
stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his
sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
1 Samuel 30:8-10 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I pursue
this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for
you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all." So David
went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor,
where those stayed who were left behind. But David pursued, he and four hundred
men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross
the Brook Besor.
1 Samuel 30:18-20 David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and
David rescued his two wives. And nothing of theirs was lacking either small or
great, sons or daughters, spoils or anything which they had taken from them;
David recovered all. Then David took all the flocks and herds they had driven before
those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
