The Man David — November 10, 2024

Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas Preached: November 10, 2024

Introduction

The man David: A prince with God, a noble king, a valiant warrior, a prophet.

And you know, David, one time said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Now, he didn’t say I run through there. He said I walk. That is really valor. And then he said I will fear no evil. The word “walk”, and, “fear no evil”, go together. Yea, though I walk through the valley, not run, not terrified, not jumping, not looking backwards. I walk, where death is on every side of me. I will fear no evil. That’s God in him.

That symbolizes two things: The walk of this life. When you are taken, you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you go on into heaven, fear no evil. His staff, His word, will comfort you. And upon this earth, He will too.

Now, he had something more than natural confidence when he wrote those Scriptures. He had supernatural confidence. It wasn’t natural confidence, and that’s the real power of faith. He had perfect confidence in the Lord. Psalm 23: 4; Psalm 121: 7 – 8; Psalm 34: 7.

Now, Saul saw him, and Satan in Saul, David was a threat to Satan’s kingdom. He was threatening with that power. He was coming with that great power. He was the true one. And Satan tried to use Saul to get rid of David, get him out of the way, he’s a threat to me here. For I’m a choice of the people, he’s the choice of God. And what God likes, Satan said, I don’t like. That’s the truth if I ever told it.

Now, David was God’s choice. But Saul was not. Saul was the choice the people wanted. Now, that’s just like organizations today. They have a choice, but it’s not God’s choice. But the Lord has the elect, and He chooses them.

Each time Saul came to kill him, David would spare his life. And by sparing his life, we found out that God spared David’s life in every battle.

Here’s what you do: No matter how many times, no matter what the devil does, how many tests, how many trials, whatever he does to you, it makes no difference. You do like David, put it right there, in the hands of the Lord, trust the Lord, stay right with the Lord, and you’ll be crowned.

Each of you has so many miracles allotted to you. In providence, in predestination, you’ll be pulled right in your position.

Do not get involved with any form of witchcraft. When the antichrist appears, he will be a chief wizard (a male witch). The children of the Lord are already in a spiritual battle with the evil spirit world (Ephesians 6: 12). Do not go and join that world.

The devils know that there is only one God, and tremble (James 2: 19). The devils will fear you when you also know that there is only one God, the Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 9: 6).

So, no matter how you might think the enemy’s been pushing against you, what’s been happening, it makes no difference. You’re going to come right into that crown. You’re going to come right into that anointing. Remember, it said that there’s a crown that God will give you, and reward you with. Every one of you that are translated, have eternal life, will have a crown of light that God will give you. He has a crown for everyone that loves Him (2 Timothy 4: 7 – 8).

You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon

We listened to a sermon titled “The Man David”, CD # 1131, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

God does not want us to be defeated. He doesn’t want us to worry. He doesn’t want us to fret. He doesn’t want us to be discouraged. There’s an answer to every problem.

And you know, David, one time said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Now, he didn’t say I run through there. He said I walk. That is really valor. He didn’t say I went through or I go through the valley. He said I walk. I have perfect confidence as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. And then he said I will fear no evil. The word “walk”, and, “fear no evil”, go together.

David said he delivered me from all of my fears, and they were all around me all the times.

Now, he had something more than natural confidence when he wrote those Scriptures. He had supernatural confidence. It wasn’t natural confidence, and that’s the real power of faith. He had the real power of faith. He had perfect confidence in the Lord.

He was a real example, courageous faith in his life. His valor, the Lord told me, went beyond his call.

David said commit thy way. When he couldn’t go to the left or to the right, he would commit his way to the Lord.

The man David: A prince with God, a noble king, a valiant warrior, a prophet.

When he called out to the Lord, the Lord heard him. It seemed like Saul could not contact God, but David could. And you’ll be surprised, just a few chapters, he says, Lord, what do you want me to do now. He talked to Him like he’s known Him all his life. And he would say, Lord, what shall I do now. And the Lord would answer him. And he would say, well, Lord, I’ve got to do this, and the Lord would come to him.

Now, David was God’s choice. He was the choice right direct from the throne, the elect that come. But Saul was not. Saul was the choice the people wanted. Now, that’s just like organizations today. They have a choice, but it’s not God’s choice. But the Lord has the elect, and He chooses them.

So, the real king, the noble king, the one that was anointed for the job had to run for his life. He was waiting to go into the kingship.

And all of his wanderings, in all that he went through, and all the test, and all the trials, one day, he was moving closer to that position, ever closer. He had to be compassionate too. He could have went on in and took it, but he stayed with the Lord.

The church today, the very elect of God today, are moving towards that crown, like he was. And they are moving toward the elect position. And we’re coming into the position of the elect. And when it does, God is going to push them right on in and then you’re going to be taken up to meet the King, you’ll be crowned.

Now Saul, David was victorious with the giant, even as a child. It seemed like every which way that he turned, the blessing of God would come upon it. And Saul had contempt, he allowed his heart to be full of jealousy, and he hated David, finally. And yet, David had done nothing to him, but only what the Lord told him to do. But it was, saith the Lord, he was anointed. It was the anointing on that young man that was coming across there, and that Satan was against that anointing.

And the Lord sometimes will deliberately choose somebody, or do something in such a way, it’s a kind of, spur Satan on there, in His choices all through the Bible, all the way through. Maybe you’ve been in a position sometimes where you’ve been blessed around sinners, and lukewarm Christians, so forth. It just seems like they despise you because you have faith in God.

Each time Saul came to kill him, and had 3,000 men, David had 600. And each time he come to kill David, to get him, David would spare his life.

And by sparing his life, we found out that God spared David’s life in every battle. He was setting it up. And by sparing his enemy’s life, and having compassion on his people, his kind of people, he was a Jew, that God spared his life, and he lived to be 90 something years old, and he was about 50 something years old when he went to the throne.

So sometime by prayer, and by you praying for your enemy, and asking God to help them, and by sparing their life, God’ll let you live on and on.

God’s choice, Jesus’ choice, was David.

He was in Kellah and enquired of the Lord, said, we need food, I’m going up to smite the Philistines. He said, Lord, should I go up and smite the Philistines? And the Lord said, David, go on up, He said.

He heard His voice, talked right to Him; said, go on up, and smite the Philistines. So, David told his men, said, we’re going up to Kellah, and we’re going to smite the Philistines.

And this one time, his men had fear come upon them. So David went back and enquired of the Lord. He knew what the Lord would tell him. He wanted confirmation to them men twice. And enquired of the Lord, and the Lord appeared to him again, and He said, David, He said you go on up. Surely, I will deliver them all in your hands.

He went back and told his men, I’m going, you stay if you want to, I’m going on up. And they knew when to follow him, and they followed him. And he went on up to Kellah, and he slaughtered everything and saved all the people of Kellah because the armies were coming and surrounding them in there, and he saved the city.

And you would’ve thought they had great compassion on David because all out in the wilderness he was defeating every enemy that come up against Israel, and Saul couldn’t do it with thousands of people. God was using him before he even went to the throne.

And so, when Saul had the news that David was up in Kellah, and was routing the Philistines, and said, would go up and would get him. So, he had 3,000 men, and he went up to Kellah. And David, somehow, he always knew that Saul was coming, where to reach him. So he enquired of the Lord, he said, he wasn’t going to run either this time. He said, Lord, should I stay right here, and he said, shall I stay right here, and would Saul get me. He said he surely will, he’ll get you. But he said, Lord, if I stay here, will the people deliver me up into his hands. And the Lord said the people that you’ve just delivered will deliver you up into his hands.

So, he said, I must go, and he was gone.

And when Saul got there, they said he’s done defeated the Philistines, everything’s okay. He’s gone.

So Saul went over, and this is cave experience here. The men, there’s 3,000 of them. And he went right over to cave, David was in there. He’s on the sides of the cave. So, he come inside there to warm himself inside there. And David got up, Saul was laying there, and he looked at him. He’d just take his sword right there, the fellow said, put the sword in him once, I won’t have to do it twice. No, David said, don’t do that.

1 Samuel 24: 4: And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thine hand. They reminded David of that. That thou mayest do unto him as it seems good unto thee. God knew he wouldn’t touch him, but He said you can, if you want to.

It also shows the promises of God not taken lightly, that he’ll get there anyway. And also, God would spare his life sometimes in the future.

Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily. He just cut them off. David, afterwards, also, he went out of the cave, and cried Saul, saying my Lord, the king. Saul, it’s David, which Saul looked behind him, and David stooped down with his face to the earth, and he bowed himself before him. As long as he was there, God allowed him to be there. He wasn’t perfect, but he wasn’t going to do anything to him.

You know, God from heaven saw that. He’ll just talk to the Lord, he’d better walk quietly himself. And he told him that he could have destroyed him, could have killed him. He also told him about the Lord, how kind, and how nice. He told him many different things in there, very courteous to the king. And it just touched the heart of Saul there, tore him up in there. And he said to David, thou more righteous than I. For thou has rewarded me good for whereas I have rewarded thee evil.

You would have thought, David said, well, it’s all over with now. No, knowing the Holy Spirit on him, and knowing how those minds work, he didn’t.

And now, behold, I know well that thou surely will be king. He told David that. And that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand. Swear now therefore unto me, by the Lord, that thou will not cut off my seed after me, because when he come king, he destroys all the seed after him. He thought he would do that because he done that to him. And that thou will not destroy my name out of my father’s house. And David said I will not touch it. I will not do a thing wrong. But at the same time, Saul was only deceiving him. He wanted those things done, yes, if something fail. But David didn’t go down to shake his hand, either, wherever he was at. He went on his way, he won’t go near him. Because in just a little while longer, there’s another experience. So, David went on his way.

And no longer did Saul say that to David, then he was after him again with those men. And this time, he was going after him to get him. That’s why David didn’t meet with him.

And so David was going on out through there. And just look at his wanderings. Being chased from the very thing that God gave him. Yet, with great power, confidence, he had supernatural confidence, and supernatural power with him. His time was coming.

Your time’s coming too. Each of you has so many miracles allotted to you. In providence, in predestination, you’ll be pulled right in your position.

God is going to unite this thing, like David did Israel when he came to the throne. And He’s going to unite that church in the wilderness because it’s not organized. David was out to organize in the Spirit, but not the organization of Saul. Saul was the people’s choice, organizational brought him in. But David was God’s choice, the anointing brought in the elect. He was the elective king, Saul wasn’t. Saul was the organizational king.

You don’t have too many places you can go that’ll really preach the word of God in the power and work miracles. But coming, victorious at the end of the age, now you’ve got something they don’t have, and if the devil tries to steal it from you, you’ve got valor, power, you have confidence, supernatural confidence in the word of God, and great faith, that they don’t have. That King’s anointing is coming, that’s what’s going to be at the end of the age. The King’s anointing, and it’s coming in great power, great faith, and power is coming to His elect.

All of those tests, and trials, it means nothing. It only means this, that God is fashioning, God is forming you, the Lord is bringing your mind together, He’s pointing it together, like the mind of Christ, so you can believe for great things, and be translated. He has that church that abides by the elect calling, and abides by the word of God, and they’re the ones that have faith in God’s word, total faith in God’s word, a supernatural confidence.

Yea, though I walk through the valley, not run, not terrified, not jumping, not looking backwards. I walk, where death is on every side of me. I will fear no evil. That’s God in him. That symbolizes two things: The walk of this life. When you are taken, you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you go on into heaven, fear no evil. His staff, His word, will comfort you. And upon this earth, He will too. He actually saw that shadow in there.

He was after him again. And Saul settled down in a field. Word was sent to David, he knew he was after him, and the other fellow said, now, we’ve got him again.

1 Samuel 26: 10 and 12: And David said furthermore, the man said let’s get rid of him. And David said furthermore, as the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him or his day shall come to die or he shall descend into battle, and David said he shall perish there. He told him, he predicted the death of Saul. His day will come, God will allow it, and he will allow the Lord to do it. He wouldn’t do it, and that he will die and fall in battle, David said.

And he enquired of the Lord, shall I go up, shall I do this? And the Lord would answer him. And the Lord would tell him what to do in different positions, and there’s so much of that in there, how that he would talk to God, how God would talk back to him.

He said the Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against him, God’s anointed, even though he wasn’t like he should be or anything like that, to kill him.

There was a field, 3,000 men, was in the field, and David took a couple with him. And this one fellow was all for doing him in. He was tired of being chased by, and David’s walking right through all them people there. He’s just walking around in there, he’s in the valley of the shadow of death right there. Anyone woke up, and saw him, would have killed him, they all knew him.

You can walk all over your enemies, saith the Lord.

And he walked all around in there, and the Bible said, for the Lord, so David took his spear and the cruse of water. The others wanted to kill him. He said No, we just take his spear, again, we’ll take the cruse of water from him, and then we’ll wake him up. And they gat them away, and no man saw it nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. So David went in there, and God put them all to sleep, they couldn’t wake up. He could have kicked them, stumped them, hollered at them, they couldn’t have woke up, a deep sleep upon them. And so he said, No, he’ll die in battle. He finally told this fellow, that kept wanting to do that, that he’ll die in battle.

See, David, seeing a prophetic future in there. He wouldn’t never want to say very much to them about a lot of things God’s showed him, but he did tell that fellow that he’ll die in battle.

He cried out to Saul. He said, David, David, is that your voice? So the Lord woke him up. If this didn’t wake Saul up, nothing else will. David, David, yet that be thy voice? That be David’s voice.

You’ll be all way round your enemies, and God will win the victory for you. No matter how much that they tried to do, you’ll still come up victorious. No matter what they gossip or say against you, no matter what the world said on your job, or whatever they say to you, wherever you are, in school or in this world, it makes no difference. You can have the same experience in that cave that David had, walking around in there. You can have the same experience with them falling asleep in that field. And God will be victorious, and the Lord will be with thee.

Later on we find out, as the story goes on, and Saul got in a battle over in there, and when he did, he was defeated. The enemy put an arrow through him in battle. He told one of them, he said just kill me, so the enemy don’t do that to me, don’t kill me. And so he wouldn’t do that. He fell upon his spear, and died. But we have the story that the enemy got ahold of Saul, and when they got ahold of him, they just took and beheaded him. Then they took his body, and they put along the wall and left it there. The Bible said that his men had to go back there later and get him. And David cried, mourned for him, real sympathy in his heart, at what had happened to him. But he done all he could do.

Now, we find out, if he only changed his heart in at that time, and joined David, that’ll never happen because God wouldn’t allow that. And they have their chance out there today. The call of God is all out in there.

The predestined trips of David, he was predestined, nothing could stop him. The Lord is trying to show us, in the predestined call of God, those will believe. And the providence of God upon that church is going to make it, despite Satan. No matter what Satan does, to try to cut it off, or what Satan tries to do, it will not work. God will have that church coming to that King.

Saul was the people’s choice. He was akin to the way the people thought, the way the people wanted. David was God’s own choice. The elect is God’s choice. Organization is man’s choice.

What we find out, when you go through something in your life, you often wonder, you know, Why was I born? I’ve had people write me that. Well, right off, for reason. Nothing it said, that God does, He does for a reason. Exactly right.

And sometimes, you may go through so many tests and trials, and that you’ll wonder about these things. But remember this, the greatest that God call has already went through more than you’ll ever go through. The greatest men, with the great power, and a great faith, go back in there how they were tested, and how that Satan pushed against them, and how that on every side the enemy came, but yet, they were victorious.

So, in your life, sometimes you may wonder, you know, it just looks like it’s hard for me to get through to God. He’s already through to you. You’ve just got to know, like David, how to move Him. He knew how to move Him.

From a little child, you might call it, he was gifted. You might say he learnt the tune of God, and he knew how to reach on in there, but he had that substance of faith in there.

So, no matter how you might think the enemy’s been pushing against you, what’s been happening, it makes no difference. You’re going to come right into that crown. You’re going to come right into that anointing. And David, the day come, with all those tests and trials, not only Saul, but the enemy was just as bad, the Philistines that David was going up against out there. And the day had come, and when it did, he went in as the anointed king, just like God told him he’ll go in there. And he set over Israel 40 years as king, and destroyed every enemy that ever was an enemy, destroyed them, so that Solomon set in peace and rest for 40 years.

So we find out today, the man David, a prince with God, a noble king, a valiant warrior, a prophet, and all that he did, symbolizes, coming to that kingship, coming on into it right there, and we are going to come right to that crown. Remember, it said that there’s a crown that God will give you, and reward you with. Every one of you that are translated, have eternal life, will have a crown of light that God will give you.

You’ll be victorious, you will not be defeated, saith the Lord, but I’ll see, and I’ll follow, and I’ll go before you, and afterward, and I’ll be with you like I was with the prophets, with David. You’ll not fall, He’s going to take you right on in.

No matter in this world, no matter how you’re despised, what people think about you, don’t pay any attention. No matter today what you have to run into in this world, this time, you just hold onto the Lord, hold onto your faith, and He’s going to see you all the way through.

He has a crown for everyone that loves Him.

See, when you go through, you’re an inspiration. When you take the word of God, and you believe, and when you hold to the word of God, and trust, you’re a great inspiration, whether you know it or not. David was inspiration for all of us today, a man of valor. And so today, what we do for the Lord will be an inspiration to somebody.

Scripture Reading

“Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.”1 Samuel 23: 2 – 4

“Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down. Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.”1 Samuel 23: 10 – 12

“And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily.”1 Samuel 24: 3 – 4

“Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.”1 Samuel 24: 11

“So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him. Then saith Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless? David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish. The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine against the LORD’s anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go. So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.”1 Samuel 26: 7 – 12

“Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa. And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.”1 Samuel 28: 3 – 7

“Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul’s sons. And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers. Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.”1 Samuel 31: 1 – 6

“So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.”1 Chronicles 10: 13 – 14

And you know, David, one time said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Now, he didn’t say I run through there. He said I walk. That is really valor.

And then he said I will fear no evil. The word “walk”, and, “fear no evil”, go together.

Yea, though I walk through the valley, not run, not terrified, not jumping, not looking backwards. I walk, where death is on every side of me. I will fear no evil. That’s God in him.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”Psalm 23: 4

“The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”Psalm 121: 7 – 8

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”Psalm 34: 7

I read from Scroll # 77:

“IN THIS SCRIPT WE WANT TO BRING OUT VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO THE ELECT CHURCH! We are living in an age where more spellbinders are rising with false signs preparing the way for the beast system; wherein a skillful chief wizard known as the anti-christ will totally control the masses as in the form of ultra magic! – A super charmer is on his way!

MICAH 5: 12-13, “SHOWS GOD WILL CUT OFF WITCHCRAFT AND THE SOOTHSAYERS, He will also cut the graven images and idols off! – It’s coming into prominence that more and more church people are dabbling into anything that is supernatural whether it has any Scriptural foundation or not!” – I Tim. 4:1, “Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils! People start off with small amounts of witchcraft not knowing that is what it is at first, then they are taken over by spirits that actually talk to them!

“Familiar spirits is all kinds of sorcery or casting of spells, etc.”

Isa. 8: 19-20, “When they shall say unto you, seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them!”

“THE REAL CHRISTIAN WHO FOLLOWS THE WORD and the Lord’s true servants will have no trouble with witchcraft! Stay true to His word is the answer!

PAUL POINTS OUT THAT THE CHIEF RELIGIOUS WIZARD OF ALL TIME WILL EXALT HIMSELF IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD with ultra magic proclaiming that he is God! (II Thess. 2: 4) – “But the real invincible God (our champion Jesus) shall, with the spirit of His mouth, destroy the false god with the brightness of His coming!” (verse 8) – Verse 9, gives us another dimension of this anti-christ whose coming is after the working of satan with all power, signs and lying wonders!” – “As we said before, these spellbinders set it up for his appearance! And a strong delusion is sent forth to deceive the unbelievers!” (verse 11) – II Tim. 4: 3-4, “All because they would not endure sound doctrine, and heap to themselves teachers having itching ears! They quit the truth and went into fables!

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”Ephesians 6: 12

The devils know that there is only one God and tremble.

“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”James 2: 19

The devils will fear you when you also know that there is only one God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9: 6

All things that happen to you are preparing you for the translation. Your life is hidden in the Lord Jesus, the eternal God. Therefore, nothing can happen to you that He is not aware of. You are set on a course that will lead to your being gloried and translated.

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”Colossians 3: 3

Remember, it said that there’s a crown that God will give you, and reward you with. Every one of you that are translated, have eternal life, will have a crown of light that God will give you.

He has a crown for everyone that loves Him.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”2 Timothy 4: 7 – 8
