I’m On The Verge Of A Breakthrough 2nd Samuel 5:20

a dependency on God.

He asks God should I go, and will you deliver them into my hand, in other words is this a battle that you want me to fight. David was good at fighting, but David trusted in God. So, many times, the devil tricks us into not having a dependency on God especially gifted people, many times when you are gifted if you’re not careful you’ll find yourself trusting in your gift and not the giver; But this text is designed to teach us that we need to learn how to depend on God. So, many times, we do things without trusting God but that’s why Solomon said; Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thy own understanding, (Oh, what peace we often forfeit oh what needless pain we bare all because we do not carry everything to GOD in prayer)

But I’ve discovered that we have to fight for our breakthroughs, look at verse 20 it says: So, David went to Baal-parism and David defeated them there. Notice in verse 19 David is praying, in verse 20 David is fighting.

David understood that there is a place for prayer if i’m going to have a breakthrough but there is also a place of warfare.

In other words, James said it like this faith without works is dead, (pray for job, but fill out app) when you think about what was at stake David had no choice but to fight, his destiny was on the line.

God’s purpose for his life was on the line; and whenever anything threatens the will of God for your life it’s time to fight.

David seems to say if this was a smaller matter, I’d let you slide but you’re talking about stopping me from reaching my purpose, and my divine assignment.

Let me ask you, is there anything in your life worth fighting for. When I talk about fighting, I’m not talking about physical fighting because the Bible say we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.

Now understand that the Devil is not just going to sit down and let you have a happy marriage, leave your children alone, and let you progress.

Sometimes You’ve got to anoint that house with oil, and pray in the name of Jesus. Devil I’m not going to lay down and let you have my family, my future, if you want it you’ve got to come through me. And you’ve got to be careful when you mess with me because I’m more than a conquer; greater is he that’s in me than he that’s in the world.

Verse 20 says; after David won the battle, he gave the credit to God. Then it says and he named that place in honor of God, he named that place Baal-parism; which means the Lord who breaksthrough.

He says he broke through like a breakthrough of water; the metaphorical picture here is that of a river that is about to flood the city, but the men in the town erect dams and dikes in order to hold back the raging river but the pressure of the river is so great that the dam cannot hold up, and the rivers over floods the city, he says that’s what God did to my enemies.

After you get your breakthrough don’t let your Guards down, because they attack them in verse 18, David defeated them in verse 20, and you would think that they had enough, but they attack them again in verse 22, what the enemy did was retreated, regroup, so they could re-attack them in the same place.
