It amazes me how alive the Word of God is when you are facing a trial.
In 2 Samuel 5: 6,7 I read:
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “You shall not come in here; but the blind and lame will repel you,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
The enemy told David he cannot enter, even the blind and the lame will stop you. But David pushed forward. He heard from God and God was with him. He captured that stronghold and renamed it (the City of David.)
This is what I wrote in my journal today: I am believing God today for the capture of my stronghold. He is with me. I’m pushing forward and taking my rightful place of authority and renaming this stronghold.
I hope you are encouraged in the Word. I am.
I am indeed encouraged in the Word this and every day and I appreciate your heart of sharing and encouragement. Love you much. Standing with you...
