The Weapon Used Against You.. will become your sword!

1 Samuel 21:9 (New King James Version) So the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here.”And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”

When the time is right, God will turn over the sword of your past conquest. He will turn over to you what can only be yours, and there will be nothing like it.

Have you fought with sickness and been hit with premature death all around you >>> Cut the enemy up with healing... See your sword.

Have you lived in poverty and financial pain no matter how hard you work, you face the bag full of holes.. then to find, the victory >>>> Cut the enemy up with abundant resources... See your sword.

Have you had to face broken relationships, stripped by the enemy over and over again.. to finally walk in God knit friendships >>>> Cut the enemy up with covenant relationships....See your sword.

Have you found yourself in a marriage that never seems to have peace? No matter what you do, it's never good enough or right.. then found breakthrough and love>>> Cut the enemy up with the heart of reconciliation ... See your sword.

Have you learned to forgive the most UNFORGIVABLE >>>> Cut the enemy up by untangling hardened hearts... See your sword.

Understand, the purpose of every Goliath.. is for victory.
The purpose of victory.. is the sword.
The purpose of the sword.. is to defeat the works of the devil.

Understand and rejoice over the Goliaths in your life!

See the sword.. for there is none other like it.

How did David overcome?
He came from a place of praise.
(worshiping in the field with his sheep)
Stood on the ground of intellect (the battlefield).
(the war zone where the warriors only analyzed based on the physical)
And defied what made sense to others.
(5 stones (the Word), no armor (complete vulnerability), and KNOWING God is greater)
NOTE: Did you know the 5 stones were not all meant for Goliath. But David knew that Goliath had 4 brothers (2 Sam 21:22) that may come after him after killing him. He intended to kill them all if necessary. David made no room for failure, no plan B... ALL or nothing
And claimed what makes sense to God.
(If God is for us, who can be against us?)

The Parable of the Snake

Once upon a time there was a serpent who was badly injured in a fight with another animal. It managed to slither away to safety but would have surely died if a benevolent man had not seen it suffering by the side of the road. The goodly man carefully wrapped the snake up and took it to his house, where he bestowed the kindest and gentlest care on the snake until it was healed and could return to the wild. Just as the man was releasing the serpent back into the grass, the ungrateful snake turned and bit him on the hand. "What did you do that for?" cried the man, who knew that the bite of this particular snake was usually fatal. "Didn't I take care of you when no one else would?" The snake shrugged (no small feat for a snake!) and replied to the benevolent--and now doomed-- man, "What did you expect? You knew I was a snake when you picked me up." We certainly know without any question that they are snakes. Time will tell if the moral of the tale is appli...

Tough Mind and Tender Heart by Martin Luther King

SERMON: A Tough Mind And A Tender Heart, by Martin Luther King, Jr. Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) A French philosopher said, “No man is strong unless he bears within his character antitheses strongly marked.” The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites. Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self-assertive humble. But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony. The philosopher Hegel said that truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two. Jesus recognized the need for blending opposites. He knew that his disciples would face a difficult and hostile world, where they would confront the recalcitrance of...

AS I SEEK

By Cherstin Jagger Mendez I seek within the ebb and flow, In every attempt for my heart to grow. I lean into the winds to see what they say. Hoping it’s secrets, it will give away. How do you live a life to the fullest? How do you push yourself beyond….? The lead weights on my feet telling me I can’t go, Due to my age or life, without much to show. For the potential within me fights every day to get out! For the voice in my heart says I can not do without … Without the land beneath my feet, Without the sound of the trees in the wind. Without the buds that bloom and tell me there’s hope, Without the love that flows from beyond my scope. Without the connection that reminds me that I’m alive, Without your heartbeat here by my side I seek again for what I cannot see. I seek again for what’s found inside of me. I seek again for the strength to persevere, As I walk among those that this world does fear …. DEDICATED TO TDCJ CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS
