Title: You can make it.
Introduction: This passage tells us three things today that we need to know to fight Satan and win. If we look back in the chapters before we see David’s life. How God had used him to kill the Lion and the Bear. (I Samuel 17:34-36)Always remember where you can from so you can Know where you going.
I. Keep your Focus.
• v.43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
• He wanted to tare down David’s self-esteem, Satan knows that if He can get you down and doubting your self and troubled about your situation. If he can get you unfocused and get your eyes off the goal, then he has you.
• Matthew 14:28-30
28. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto the upon the waters.
29. And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus.
30. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
• We see that peter in the boat. He saw the Lord and Knew that he was the master. He was focused, He got out of the boat. He saw the goal and was going for it. Then he got his eyes off the goal. He be came unfocused and when he did he started to sink.
• Today church how many times have we became focused, and have turned our attention to God, then in the middle of what ever we are going through, we take our eyes off God sink. How many times have we got on the mountain top and we forget the valley, what he done for us, and where he brought us from. See David went out to fight and he remembered, Goliath tried to change his focus, but he didn’t. Church keep your focus today.
II. Hold on.
• v.44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field.
• Goliath started to trash talk, He started to bragged, and You can even say he started to boast.
• Pride is mentioned 9x in bible
• The most famous is Proverbs 16: 18. Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
• Church I’ am here to tell you today when you hear the Devil start bragging, saying how he’s got you, how your not going to make it, Hold on he’s about to be defeated. HOLD ON CHURCH!
• When the world looks like it is about to over take you and every thing look is like its going wrong, Hold on, hold on. When your boos comes to you and say’s “I got to let you go”, When there’s no money in the bank, when car breaks down, when your relationship starts to break apart, or when your sick, when every thing goes wrong and the world is caving in on you, HOLD ON. Luke 21: 28. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh. When Satan tells you, your present tell him His future. Hold on church, Hold on.
III. Know who’s you are.
• 44. And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field.
• Today Church I believe we need to realize who we serve, David was very plain with Goliath, Like wise we need to be plan with the devil. When he shows up, we need to stand up, square our shoulders back and say “who do you think you are, devil you come against me with money problems, but I serve the God who owns a cattle on a thousand hills, and he owns the hill and even the tater under them. So what you got devil come on, Philippians 4: 19. And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
• David knew in whom he had authority, today we need to know who this Jesus is.
• He is the bright and morning star, Lion of the tribe of Jude
• He is the Light of the world.
• He is Jehovah
• He is Jehovah-M Raddesh (Lord who sanctifies)
• HE is Jehovah Rophe (Lord who heals)
• He is Jehovah Shalom (Lord our peace)
• He is Jehovah- Jireh (Lord our Provider)
• He is Jehovah – Isidkenu ( Lord our Righteousness)
• He is Jehovah Rohi (Lord our Shepherded)
• He is Jehovah Shammah (Lord is Present)
• Psalms 103
•
• 1. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
• 2. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:
• 3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
• 4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies;
• 5. Who satisfied thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
• 6. Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.
• 7. He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.
• 8. Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
• 9. He will not always chide; Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
• 10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
• 11. For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
• 12. As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
• 13. Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
• 14. For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
• 15. As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
• 16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.
• 17. But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;
• 18. To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
• 19. Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.
• 20. Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
• 21. Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
• 22. Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
• Church remember whose authority you have .
• Joshua 1:5. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life. as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
• Romans 8:31. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
• Isaiah 54: 17. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah.
• Remember church whose you belong to and whose authority you have.
Conclusion: We see when David saw and knew these things , then he said. 46. This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand. David showed what God would do for his people. When the world see how God has delivered his people then They will ask to know him.
