Come before the Lord giving him praise. Yes. Glory and honor that is due to his name. I thank God for Jesus. He's everything to me. Today I want to go to the Old Testament. I want we're going to look into Second Samuel verse number five. I mean I'm sorry chapter number five and what I'll call this message is what I'll say. This is not a title. This is my determination. Yes. I'm waiting for the breakout. All right. I'm waiting for the breakout. Yes. In the book of Second Samuel chapter number five, what is written for our convenience, beginning at the first verse, this is the story of David's reign as king over all Israel. His faithful service to God and to God's people. Yes. Now, in the first verse, now, there there are 25 verses in this chapter and I need to touch some places at the beginning of this text and I'll put emphasis on the later portion of this this chapter. But in verse one, it says, then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron and spake saying, behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. This is weekend folks. Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou whisked he that that lead us out and brought us in Israel and the Lord said to thee thou shall feed my people Israel. Thou shall be captain over Israel. Yes. And what that says, all of that in that verse says that you were able to bring us out of trouble. So, you were you were a great leader as the captain of the army for the king over the army. Yes. So, verse three says, so all the elders of Israel came to the kingdom of Hebron and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord and they anointed David over Israel. So, he got together with them and talked it over and it was it was obvious that the Lord had that in mind for them. And so, they anointed David king over Israel. Verse four said, David was thirty years old when he began to reign. Yes. And he reigned forty years. In Hebron, he reigned over Judah seven years and six months. Yes. In Jerusalem, he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah. Now, this is this is a big deal. He had been called according to God's purpose for his people. Yes. And the people joined in with him and they were happy for a moment until things start getting better. Said the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites. Yes. An inhabitants of the land which spake unto David saying, except thou take it away, the blind and the lame, thou shall not come in hither. Thinking David cannot come in hither. So, after he was anointed king over all of Egypt, all of Jerusalem, group began to think he's getting too strong. He's got too much under his control and we're not gonna have it. And so, they began to play games. They said, if you'll take all the blind people and all the lame people, it'll be all right. Well, nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion. Yes. And the same is the city of David. And David said on that day, whosoever geteth up to the gutters and smited the Jebusites and the lame and the blind that are are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, the blind and the lame shall not come into the house. So, David dwelt in the in the fort and called it the city of David. David built round about from Milo and inward. David went on and grew great and the Lord God of hosts was with him. That's the key verse. The Lord God of hosts, the Lord God of the army, the heavens armies was with him. Hiram king of Tyre sent message to David and cedar trees and carpenters and masons and they built David and house. David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake and David took with him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem after he had come from Hebron and there were yet sons and daughters born to David and these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem. Shea Himmela, Sobar, Nathan, Solomon, Ibar, also Elisha and Nephite and Japhi and Elisha and Eliada and Elphalette. Now here's where I want to take emphasis beginning at verse number 17. At verse 17 what is pointed out was that there are problems on every hand and sometimes we can handle a problem but many times we're not able to to do what needs to be done to solve that that is before us. Did the Philistines during the early part of his reign as king over Israel? As long as David ruled over only over Judah the Philistines didn't feel threatened by him. In fact they probably considered him an ally for he was in constant battle against Saul's son and his commander Abner. However as soon as David was crowned king of all Israel he became a threat to the Philistine nation so they mobilized all their forces and they invaded Israel with the full intent of conquering the nation and capturing David. So the scripture describes two different invasions. I'll say this before I read. I question people who pick a fight and get beat up and come back and pick another fight so they can get a good whooping. I question their sanity. Verse 17 says but when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel all the Philistines came up to seek David and David heard of it and he went down to the hold. So now when I read this it reminded me of Godfather number one. When things got hot they would go and hide out until they could figure out what was going on if there's anything they could do and so forth and so on and so they went and hid out and so that's what it's saying. He went down to the hold. The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley a reform and David inquired of the Lord saying shall I go up to the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into mine hands? And the Lord said unto David go up for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand and David came to bell and David smoked them there and said the Lord had broken forth upon mine enemies before me as the breach of waters therefore he called the name of the place bell parism bell parism. Now obviously the the first invasion by the Philistines was launched because they feared David's growing power and mobilizing all of their forces the Philistines marched to the valley which lay at the foot of the hill where Jerusalem sat and was less than a mile away from the city fortress when David heard about the invasion he went into hiding. David sought the face of the Lord. Now the emphasis here is for us to understand what it is that we need to do when we come to our hard spots we would come to our places of not being able to provide not being able to understand what ought to be done. We need to do what David did. David sought the face of the Lord for guidance. Should he march out of the fortress and attack and evade the Philistines? Would the Lord give him victory over the enemy? The Lord answered David by commanding him to go and fight the Philistines for he would definitely be victorious over the enemy. Now that sounds pretty good to me. I'll take that any day. If I confer with God and the Lord says there's no problem he said I guarantee you if you'll do what I said you'll be victorious over your enemy. So he says obey the Lord. David marched against the Philistines and soundly defeated the invaders. They invaded him and he whooped their tails. David gave full credit to the Lord claiming that the Lord had enabled him to break through the enemy's line just like turbulence raging waters and as a memory as a memorial to the great victory given by the Lord. The Lord had broken out. So now that's what I'm saying I'm waiting. I'm waiting on the breakout of the Lord when you try things and things that worked before don't work at this point you got to seek the face of God. When I look at the church society after these last three years things that used to work don't work no more and people can't get out of their bed on Sunday because there's something in them that won't let them and so the church has to be in a place where it can sustain itself and so that the word of God can still be brought forth to those who are sinners who are lost in dying in their sin and so it's a challenge the the the carnal world comes after the church and I've heard tell of them setting churches up so that they can find a cheek in their armor and how they can get rid of the church well they're definitely fighting a losing battle. I don't know what it's going to be I don't know the magic portion or I don't know what instant thing that will happen other than the Lord providing the Lord taking up the cause of his people so the Lord is going to break out and he's proven that he did it back then and he'll do it again Jesus Christ the same Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever more so the Lord broke out against the enemies and retreated from the fierce battles the Philistines abandoned their idols and David and his men carried them off as plunder but no the attempt by the Philistines to defeat Israel's and captured David had not an end it didn't happen it they didn't quit even at that so now here's the second time now the second time the philippines launched a second invasion against David and the Israelites once again speaking out in the valley a reefer for him again David went before the Lord seeking his face for guidance but this time the Lord not only engaged encouraged David to fight he actually gave David a strategy to pursue and defeat now let me go back and i need to touch on the first attack brought on them when the Lord told them to go out and fight them David had a strategy and the strategy he took was there was let me see this the Lord instructed David not to attack his enemy head on and I got to back up from here the way they were defeated in the first battle was that David sent his men he had a special force that he put together and they had to be swimmers because what they did they went up and they went through a water like a waterfall and they came over the waterfall down into the camp of the enemy that's how they were defeated on the first account but then verse 22 the philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley a reefer for him and when David inquired of the Lord he said thou shall not go up but fetch and compass behind them and come up them over against the mulberry tree the Lord says don't give them another chance take advantage of them he said because I have a strategy that is worked out for you and he says when you go to attack he said don't do it right now remember he said don't do it yet but here's the strategy he said but fetch a compass behind them and come up come up on them over against the mulberry tree and let it be when thou hear the sound of a going in the top of the mulberry tree that then thou shalt be straight at thyself for then shall the Lord go out before thee to smite the host of the philistines the Lord says I am never defeated I am always on your side he said I will never let you fail as long as you are willing to depend on me he said let me fix whatever your problem is he said yes they're mighty he said but I've got more power I'm the king of kings and the lord of the lords and whatever I say is so he says you just wait now understand the way this happened king david was he asked scripture says you have not because you ask not you dream of it but you won't ask and what what I understand is you know you have to humble yourself I don't like asking people for stuff I that's maybe it's maybe I'm more proud than I ought to be but I understand they're givers and takers and I want to be a giver but I guess I could be a giver and a taker come on somebody and yes that's where we really stand in the presence of God he gives and we take and he said you can't have what I got unless you ask me for it he said humble yourself humble yourself in the sight of God pray unto the Lord tell the Lord I need your help I got to have your mercy you've got to help me in this situation and when you're humble yourself and you pray unto God he says I'll do it for you every time come on somebody now I just found this so amazing he said when you go up by the mulberry tree then thou shalt bestow thyself for then shall the Lord go before thee to smite the host of the enemy I can go with that in every situation I'll go to war with that every time when God has promised he said I guarantee you you're gonna win obedience and victory of David a complete conquest of the enemy from Gibeon to to Giza now let me give you some points on this David obeyed the Lord doing exactly what the Lord had commanded him and the results was complete victory and conquest of the enemy oh my lord let me just stop there it says as a result of obeying God and doing exactly what he commanded us to do the result was complete victory they sing I've got the victory over the enemy well you don't have the victory over the enemy unless God gave it to you you can't gain the victory you don't have the wherewithal you can't get a victory without the Lord being on your side the result was complete victory and conquest of the enemy David and his army pursued the enemy for over 20 miles now the the thing is is that this account is not an account to glorify King David King David was the instrument King David depended upon the Lord when he did that the Lord favored him the major lesson to be learned from this point is prayer and facing the crisis of the Philistine invasion David prayed asking the Lord for guidance come on somebody yeah now this is this is a crux of the message I'm through preaching I'm just going to tell you what I said David prayed asking the Lord for guidance when facing the enemy of his life we have most wonderful resource imaginable and that resource is that of prayer when we pray and seek the face of the Lord he promised to deliver us no matter how terrifying the trial he promised to empower us to walk through the trial and conquerors and as conquerors and victors prayer is the resource God has given to us to lay hold on him and his delivering power listen to the wonderful promises given by God to us and some of the promises are said ask and it shall be given seek and ye shall find knock and the door shall be opened unto you it works this is not just some poetry but this is the recipe for touching God seek and ye shall find now I think that maybe some of us are just wimps because we're not happy where we are and it's evident it's it's visible we're not happy where we are but we're not willing to do anything about it and I've heard so often down through the years it is what it is it ain't what it is not with Jesus all right when it when it when it is what it is you need to take that to Jesus tell Lord I need you I've got to have you Satan's trying to take me out I'm not willing to quit Lord strengthen me give me that that I need to conquer myself scripture said if you abide in me yes and my word abide in you you shall ask what you will you can ask what you will you can ask anything that you want and it shall be done unto you now anything you want within God's will I need more strength and power Lord give me more strength Lord help me to love you more Lord help me to be faithful unto my call come on anybody praying any of that that'll strengthen you that'll give you total victory Lord I need you my burdens seem more than I can bear then another scripture here I'll bring to your attention he said if you're not where you feel like you ought to be he said draw nigh to God when you draw nigh to God he'll draw nigh to you he said that's the recipe he said cleanse your hands ye sinners and purify your heart ye double-minded the condition of the church is in a terrible shape because as one verse said a double-minded man is unstable in all all of his ways everything he does he has to think about whether he's gonna get it right or whether he's just gonna do it double-minded you can't please God with a double mind I'll just go there people don't have any concern about who they hang with well they cool you know they they ain't say but they cool if you're walking with them and they're your bestie you can't be besties with them and with God that's a double mind that won't work for God he said I want your full allegiance he said you need to choose me or leave me choose ye this day whom you will serve we just got to get down to it and analyze what's going on now the the scripture that was read for our devotion was from Psalm 91 and some in that psalmist said he shall call upon me and I will answer him I will be with him in trouble I will deliver him and after I deliver him from his trouble no matter what the trouble was no matter how deep he was in his trouble when I deliver him he said then I'll honor him come on what what a deal somebody come and get you out of jail then they pay you for it he said that's some kind of love he said how can you you know go against that why can't you receive that yeah I said 58 yeah then shall thou call the Lord shall answer thou shall cry and he shall say here I am if thou take away from the midst of the the yoke the putting forth of the finger and speaking vanity he said you gotta you gotta shape up yeah shape up yeah shape up and what what they they would say in the military shape up or ship out the Lord loves his people yeah if you belong to Jesus you can't do anything you want you are bought with the price you are bought with the price and the buyer of the object has the ability to make commands of that which is purchased by them y'all get that you were sin you were you were sinner you were in sin and you were lost Jesus came and rescued you he purchased your salvation at Calvary he bled and died for your redemption he said and because I've done that you owe me he said I did it willingly I did it when you had no other hope he said and I had mercy on you I showed grace and mercy towards you and now you got to do it my way I just feel like people ought to be grateful as as I think I look back and I see how people have not been what they ought to be I put myself in that I was born a sinner too and I wanted what I wanted and I didn't want to have to pay for it but it came to reality but one day when I heard that there'll be no sin in heaven God's not gonna grade on the curve well you didn't get it all right but you got pretty much well you got more than half of it right I'll let you in I'll excuse you I'm just kind of emoting today if you belong to Jesus you need to act like it if you belong to Jesus you need to walk right if you belong to Jesus you need to live right because God is waiting and he's willing to break out for you he said I'm willing just like I did for King David I'm willing to go ahead of you and fight your battle he said it's going to be a breakout it's going to be a great one and you'll be excited to to walk in victory behind my work come on somebody I know God I know God he he's proving himself this text proves that he can do it over and over and over again every time they came to a battle he was there every time when things weren't like they ought to be he was there to correct what was going on so there there's going to be a big breakout not for everybody not for everyone the big breakout is for the children of the king I want to encourage you today be faithful to God faithful to God can I can I beg you the Lord loves you the Lord loves us he loves me too I'm not perfect but I know that he loves me and I know that he'll provide whatever it is for me to be perfected finally in the end so I'm looking for the day now Jesus is soon to come I hear one person have believed Jesus is soon to come I I just can't see what needs to happen further than what's happened at this present time before Jesus will decide to come and get his church let me encourage you to think on your way give the Lord your heart you give you give the Lord your heart everything will be right the person's created body soul and spirit and the body is where the soul lives and spirit when the spirit is separated from the body the body is of no consequences and the soul doesn't even belong to you
