God said "yes, go save Keilah". So David and his men did so. God gave them victory and they even plundered the Philistine's livestock. Pretty good result. :)

1 Samuel 23:1-5 NKJV — Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.” Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the...

The first 5 verses set the stage. David is on the run from Saul, Saul knows David has been anointed King of Israel, but God hasn't yet removed Saul, so Saul is trying to kill David. David is in hiding...basically an "outlaw". David overhears that the city of Keilah has been attacked by the...

I guess an accuser of an accuser is what? An accuser....and a hypocrite to boot ;) Man we are a sad lot.....:)

The text I want to look at is 1st Samuel 23. In that chapter we get a record of a place where God "forknew" two events, that never happened. The implications we can draw related to foreknowledge, predestination and free will should be self-evident....I think. We'll find out here shortly ;)

Not my intention MatthewG, but we'll see how the Word unfolds. ;)

I'm going to link this thread back to a discussion from another, different thread, so some of the context may be lost on those reading this by itself. But the context isn't really necessary to understand the point I want to make. This is a single example from the Word, that can potentially...

I didn't see any reason to go to the Scripture, because that isn't going to change your mind. But, since you did actually state its impossible, I will make the time to share it for other's sakes. I'll put a link here when I get it done. There is scriptural record of TWO things that God said...

How important is believing in Him? That's a pretty strong clue. Unbelief limited His ability to move on their behalf...the power of God was not made manifest in the earth, in their lives, because of unbelief? We have to believe....

Let's consider the opposite case as well: Matthew 13:57-58 NKJV — So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

And He did answer that plea for help...the man's son was healed.

And even in the WORK He has assigned to us...believing...He does not leave us without help. I want to ask you to consider one of the most powerful examples of prayer in the Word. Meditate on this petition: Mark 9:24 NKJV — Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears...

Do you realize that the ONLY "work" God has assigned to us..the only "work " He makes us responsible for...is believing. Frankly that's about all we can handle. Believing in Him sounds so simple....but it's not..its hard WORK.

Psalm 91 describes where we fight from, and there is nothing we can DO to get in that place...but believe. John 6:28-29 NKJV — Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom...

Psalm 91:1-16 NKJV — He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence...

I'll bbs. Psalm 91 was called to my attention first thing this morning. Once I get freshened up, I'll be back to go over some of the lessons Psalm 91 contains. Read it if you have time. :) it's a good devotional to remind ourselves of when it's time to fight.

It's time to execute some of the JUDGEMENTS, His victory has written. Just remember that when the battle begins, from our perspective....IT IS ALREADY FINISHED....in victory.

Psalm 149:1-9 NKJV — Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. For...

And remember this. No matter what human tools Satan may try to use in his army, they are not our enemy. We are the only army in history appointed to fight for LIFE....to GIVE life, not take it. No human is our enemy. Principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world ARE our...

1. A competent soldier needs to know when it is time to REST. IF we do not rest at the appropriate times, we will be exhausted and disadvantaged when the inevitable battles begin. 2. A vompetent soldier has to know when it is time to MARCH. marching needs a direction...you need to know...
