    God removed David’s fear of the hand of the giant by delivering him from the paw of the lion and paw of the bear. Why Lord would you allow this when others only had to deal with Fox or Wolf? It is because the Lord is preparing you to fight giants that others your age have never fought before.

    Elisha put his hands on the King's and said "Shoot!" Then the King banged the arrows, but only 3X. God gave him the opportunity for complete spiritual victory, but the King was only halfway committed. We must make a 100% dedication if we want God's best!

    “STRIKE THE IRON WHILE IT’S HOT!” 2 Kgs. 13:15-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MISTAKEN FOR GOD 1. A nurse wrote in Reader’s Digest that she works in a hospital’s children’s ward. “One night I was at the nurse’s station when I heard a little boy in his room talking to himself. 2.

    Pause and imagine Joseph explaining everything to his parents. “Yes, mom, as I told you earlier. Mary is a good young lady, and we didn’t do anything. She is “with child” because of the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t lay a hand on her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise you it’s true.”

    No one wants to miss the magic of Christmas. And no one wants to have anything less than a fantastic Christmas holiday experience. Christmas is this wonderful time of year, and we want to spread that unmitigated joy to everyone! But there are just some Christmases that we don’t have the joy that ...read more
