Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Many times we have promises from God and see some of them fulfilled. Then, we have to contend, with the enemy, to secure our place. It is important to listen, to God’s instructions and obey them.

Israel united together and appointed David king.  Immediately, the Philistines came to hunt him, with their army. David inquired of the Lord, for the right response. God told him, to go against them, and he would give the victory. David and his army defeated the enemy with the help of the Lord. David named this place of victory, the Lord  or Master of My Breakthrough, (like waters bursting from a dam).  Later the Philistines came again to fight David and Israel. David again asked the Lord, for strategy ,and received instructions to circle the mulberry trees and ambush the Philistines, from behind,, when he heard, what sounded like marching in the tops of the trees. The Lord promised to fight for them. David followed the strategy given and routed the enemy, out of the country. (2 Samuel 5:17-25)

The victory goes to the one, who consults God first, for the right strategy and obeys what God tells him. The trust, reliance and confidence is in the Lord, not in natural strength. Not quitting, after one victory, but remaining aware of the enemy.

Today, ask God how he will give you victory, over the enemy of your soul. Follow his instructions and experience your breakthrough!

David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver [them] into your hand.And David came to Baal-perazim, and he smote them there, and said, The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters. So he called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through]. (2Samuel 5:19-20 AMPC)
