1 Samuel 17:49-51
"Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it."
The other night, about two nights ago, I was on the women's bible study/prayer line and was really moved by what was being said. A lot of women, including myself, expressed their anxieties, doubts, fears and so forth. We became vulnerable with each other, which is not the easiest thing to do. God really showed up on this line. After the line, I proceeded to clean up my house but the Spirit stopped me dead in my tracks and I began to write. I thought about David and him killing Goliath. I thought about David's faith in God and how he knew that Goliath didn't stand a chance against God's people. We all know that it wasn't the stone that killed Goliath but the faith that David had that God was going to deliver them and that is what we need. We need to know that when we throw stones at our burdens, diseases, temptations, spirits of the enemy or the enemy himself that its not how hard we throw but our belief in Christ that he will deliver us from the situation and with that we must go forth. But wait that isn't even the main part. After David Goliath fell, David then took the sword and cut off the Philistine's head. See it's not enough to throw the stone at our fears and doubts and strongholds we have to cut it off at the head. There's a saying cut the head of a snake and the whole thing dies. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. Let's say you are experiencing anxiety about a situation, we know that God's word says "be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6) God's word says exactly how we should handle fear, doubt and anxiety. We all know that fear is a spirit that does not come from God. So if fear is a spirit and it does not come from God who could it possibly come from. THE ENEMY. His job is to walk around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Do not let the enemy play with your mind and convince you that you cannot do this and that, or your children are completely lost, or that starting that family will never happen, or going back to school is pointless or starting that business is too much. WE MUST CUT THE ENEMY OFF AT THE HEAD. For doubt and fear start in the mind. Put on your full armor of God and smite the enemy and kill doubt, fear, shame and other spirits that are keeping you bound from going forward or that is making you doubt God. Today we cast out bitterness, unbelief, doubt, fear, shame, strongholds, the fleshly desires, not loving yourself, temptations, condemnation, accusation, deception and anything else that is not of God. This spiritual battle starts in the mind, even Eve was deceived. In Genesis 3:13 "And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? the woman said the serpent deceived me, and I ate.". DO NOT BE DECEIVED. If God has given you promises, he will do them, for God does not relent, if he has given you a vision, pray, fast and go forth, if you are afraid for your family or children began to intercede but DO NOT allow the enemy anymore of your time. Be the conqueror that you were called to be. WE are CONQUERORS, WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE ONE TRUE KING. It ends now. We have the Holy Spirit on our side. We are no longer slaves but free through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Get up, prepare for battle, throw your stones with mustard seed faith, with your sword AND SMITE THE HEAD OF THE ENEMY AND BE FREE!
Be blessed sisters and brothers,
Pamela
