“KNOW YOUR ENEMY”

“YOU COME TO ME WITH SPEAR AND SWORD, ICOME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD” (Samuel 17:45)

In the sport of boxing you must know who you are going up against; one can’t walk into the boxing ring without knowing the moves or routine. There are times when the boxers will sit for hours at a time watching and studying the other boxer to know where they are weak and when to bob when you should weave, understanding every tactic of the other guy.

When you are facing the enemy and the devil has you down and out it is always great to know how to defeat him. Use the word of God to bring Satan down. Study the word Know the enemy and when he tries to swing with a left duck and come up with a right then go for the Knock out!

When the children of Israel went out with Saul to go and see what this giant wanted they suddenly were fearful, so it says in the Bible that David had come there to the camp and when he heard the giant talking about His Jehovah God he got mad and said “who is this uncircumcised philistine that he will defy the army of the God?” (Samuel YOU 17:26)

Saul tried to arm David with what everyone else was wearing but David couldn’t wear that armor because he had not yet tried it.

When David called this giant out, goliath was rude and acting horrible to Israelites, this didn’t scare little David he just kept right on going for him. As he approached the huge giant he said “you come to me with sword and spear but I come to you in the Name of the lord.”

(Samuel 17:45)

So, you see David knew his adversary and when he slung his rock he busted this giant between the eyes, the way the helmet was made that was the only place where it would kill him. The next thing David did was and is the most important part.

After it was all said and done and the giant had been slain David took goliaths sword and cut off his head. We need to take charge of our lives and let the devil know that we aren’t backing down, we know who he is and the greater(Jesus) is in us (1 John 4:4)

The key is not to give up, when you are faced with an opposition, stay in the race and never throw in the towel, call your problems out and say “Greater is in me then he that is in this world.”
