Beating The Odds Through The Supernatural

Beating the odds through the Supernatrual

When it seems that all is against you and there is no way possibly of escape

that is when God likes to do his thing

1 Sam 17:1-12

1Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered

together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and

Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

2And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley

of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

3And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a

mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

4And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath,

of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of

mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.

6And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his

shoulders.

7And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed

six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.

8And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye

come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul?

choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.

9If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if

I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.

10And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that

we may fight together.

11When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were

dismayed, and greatly afraid.

God loves to use the supernatual to confound the natual

Dan 3:16-27

16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O

Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery

furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor

worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

19Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed

against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded

that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be

heated.

20And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery

furnace.

21Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their

other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

22Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace

exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach,

Meshach, and Abed-nego.

23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into

the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

24Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake,

and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of

the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

25He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire,

and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

26Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and

spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high

God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,

came forth of the midst of the fire.

Sometimes your battles in life cannot be won by natual means, but they must

be won by the supernatual power of God.

2 Kings 4:1-7

1Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto

Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant

did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be

bondmen.

2And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the

house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot
