PURSUE OVERTAKE & RECOVER ALL



















 
King David was called and chosen as a young shepherd boy. He was known for slaying Goliath whom the Israelites feared and was not able to defeat. The reason why he knew that he would have the victory over Goliath was because he had already killed a lion and a bear (hidden victories in his private life) before he defeated Goliath (Public victories in front of the Philistines, Israel as well as with his brothers). He had been through many battles but he always came out victorious. He was a king and a leader as well as a poet and a musician. He was a warrior but also a man after Gods own heart.

There was a time when David was running from Saul, and the Lord sent him to the cave of Adullam. There were four hundred men in this cave who were in distress, in debt and discontented. David taught them how to be invincible warriors, raised them up and trained them as a mighty army. In 1 Samuel chapter 30 when David and his men returned home from war, they reached Ziklag, and found it destroyed by fire and their wives, sons and daughters were taken captive by the Amalekites. David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. They reached the breaking point and the people even turned against David wanting to stone him. But then something rose up in David. He strengthened himself in the Lord, and he asked the Lord; "Shall I pursue this troop? Will I overtake them?" The Lord responded: "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.

The Lord says, you have been called and chosen from a young age. You have slayed  the lion and the bear and conquered the giants. I will train your hands for war, your fingers for battle and you will become victorious over every assault as you continue to endure. You have worshiped Me in times of distress, yet you have not backed down in the face of adversity. Although the battle has been fierce at times and there are things in your life that seems to be destroyed and lost forever, you will recover all that has been plundered from the enemy. As you continue to encourage yourself in Me, you will regain your spiritual momentum.

When calamity comes in as an ambush, stand steadfast in the armor that I have provided for you. Continue to resist all discouragement and stand immovable knowing that I have given you the ability and the authority to overcome every assault that is raised up against you. Do not deviate from the truth but stand steadfast to your convictions. Stand on the promises that are available to you. Do not allow the enemy to intimidate you and don't be moved by his ineffectual strategies. Rise up as men and women of faith and take the position as the warrior that I have created you to be. Do not allow fear or bitterness to take root and refuse to be moved by the way situations appear in the natural. As you trust in Me, I will not fail you or lead you astray but you shall surely pursue, overtake and without fail recover all that has been lost or stolen says the Lord.

1 Samuel 30:6 
Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
1 Samuel 30:8-10 
So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all." So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind. But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.
1 Samuel 30:18-20 
David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives. And nothing of theirs was lacking either small or great, sons or daughters, spoils or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all. Then David took all the flocks and herds they had driven before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
