A Double Victory

‎Hi Queen, it's Day 10 of my 40 days fast and I welcome you to join me. Our Father in Heaven always sees our hearts and can tell when we are troubled without us speaking.

‎This is going to be our testimony today. It's Sunday and I want us to enjoy the rest He brings. I pray you enjoy the peace and quiet this day is blessed with, to the fullest.

‎Father thank you for your love, we avail ourselves to be taken care of by you, heal us and comfort us. We love you, Amen.

‎Today we have an interesting story of David conquering the Philistines, they came at a time when David had just become king.

‎It's like starting a new job and on the first day you are given a senior level project to lead. Let's see what happens in this story.

‎1 Chronicles 14:8-17(NLT)

‎DAVID CONQUERS THE PHILISTINES

‎8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they mobilized all their forces to capture him. But David was told they were coming, so he marched out to meet them.

‎9 The Philistines arrived and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

‎10 So David asked God, “Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me? ”The Lord replied, “Yes, go ahead. I will hand them over to you.”

‎11 So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. “God did it!” David exclaimed. “He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” So they named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”).

‎12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, so David gave orders to burn them.

‎13 But after a while the Philistines returned and raided the valley again.

‎14 And once again David asked God what to do. “Do not attack them straight on,” God replied. “Instead, circle around behind and attack them near the poplar trees.

‎15 When you hear a sound like marching feet in the tops of the poplar trees, go out and attack! That will be the signal that God is moving ahead of you to strike down the Philistine army.”

‎16 So David did what God commanded, and they struck down the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

‎17 So David’s fame spread everywhere, and the Lord caused all the nations to fear David.

‎Amen.

‎A Beautiful story of victory which is continuous. You may have lost the first time but this next time will be a beautiful story of victory.

‎Father thank you for going ahead of us and fighting our battles, give us courage to step out again. We love you, Amen.

‎If you are searching for a safe space to rest, I know someone who embodies all of it, His Name is Jesus, He wants to be your resting place, if you agree say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎Double victory awaits.

‎Love Beth and Papa.
