Greetings in the name of our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In the 144th Psalm, David writes:

Blessed be the LORD my strength,

which teacheth my hands to war,

and my fingers to fight:

David was man that had the right

attitude on the state of the world.

David was not interested in placating the

enemy, he was not interested in appeasing

the adversary or compromising with those

whose sought to pollute and destroy the

kingdom of God. And this pleased God.

Remember what Acts 13:22 says:

...he raised up unto them David to be their

king; to whom also he gave testimony, and

said, I have found David the son of Jesse,

a man after mine own heart, which shall

fulfil all my will.

God taught David's fingers to fight so that

he could accomplish His divine will. But it

took fighting, and it took war. For David was

not settled in a place of peace. He was in a

place where war raged and he had to battle

and contend with the enemy on a daily basis.

But David's mind was made up to do just that.

He didn't say "Lord take the battle from me," he

thanked God for teaching him to fight. He

thanked God for the being his tower that

he might overcome.

We too are in a place of violence in this

present world. This violence and corruption

comes from the devil who makes war

continually with the saints. We who are the

children of God should call upon God that He

may teach us to likewise war, not against

flesh and blood, but against the spiritual

darkness and Satan who like Goliath now

stands to defy the armies of the living God.

Then like David, we too and slay the spiritual

giants in the earth that they prevent not the

advancement of Kingdom of God and the

merciful salvation of Jesus Christ.

Those who would compromise with evil and

sin are those who are afraid to fight it. But we

must not comprimise with evil because it will

not compromise with us. The enemy will

fight will all of his might against us regardless

because he knows his time is short. So let us not

then fall captive to an enemy that is already

condemned to defeat. Fear not to fight.

Let your hand learn to war with the

word of God that is our sword. Let your

fingers learn to fight through the Spirit of Truth, the

Holy Ghost, which is the delivering power

unto salvation. And therefore be an advancer

on the battlefield of life. Be the elect and

overcome.

1st John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God

overcometh the world: and this is the victory

that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be

clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his

name out of the book of life, but I will confess his

name before my Father, and before his angels.

God Bless!
