"Pursue And Rescue"

d. FOR YOU SEE, IN THE PAST, SOMETIMES, DAVID HAD RELIED UPON HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING.

e. AS A RESULT, ZIKLAG WAS BURNED DOWN AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE TAKEN HOSTAGE.

f. THIS TIME DAVID HAD MADE-UP IN HIS MIND THAT HE WAS GOING TO INCLUDE GOD IN HIS DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

g. FOR IT WAS DAVID, in Psalms 91:10-11 KJV, THAT SAID … There h. shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalms 91:10-11 (KJV)

MOVE 8: DAVID’S SON – SOLOMON – SAID IT BEST when he said: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Prov 3:6 (KJV)

a. SO DAVID WENT TO HIS PASTOR (Pastor Abiathar) , WHOM HE BELIEVED WAS A MAN OF GOD AND SOUGHT A WORD FROM THE LORD.

b. For the Bible says that “… David inquired of the Lord, saying SHALL I PURSUE afther this troop? Shall I overtake them. And he answered him, PURSUE; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail RECOVER ALL.

c. So, the SECOND THING THAT DAVID DID that we should also do is SEEK GOD’S GUIDANCE.

d. FINALLY, THE THIRD THING THAT DAVID DID, in the midst of adversity, that we SHOULD ALSO DO IS … DO AS GOD’S WORD SAY.

MOVE 9: DON’T ADD TO HIS WORD … JUST BE OBEDIENT.

a. FOR IF WE ARE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, THE SCRIPTURES THAT WE SHALL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND…

b. FOR DON’T YOU REMEMBER, IN REFERENCE TO OUR ROLE MODEL AND SAVIOR – JESUS CHRIST; PAUL SAYS …

c. THAT JESUS WAS FOUND ….in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross Phil 2:8 (KJV).

d. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IN OUR TEXT THIS AFTERNOON, DAVID ENCOURAGED HIMSELF,

e. … SOUGHT GOD’S GUIDANCE, DID AS GOD SAID.

f. AS A RESULT, HE PURSUE THE ENEMY; AND RESCUE ALL THAT THE ENEMY HAD TAKEN OUT OF HIS SANCTUARY.

Therefore, we OVERTAKE THE ENEMY;

and before you RESCUE, AND take-back what belongs to US;

WE HAVE TO SEEK GOD’S GUIDANCE; AND HEAR GOD SAY …PURSUE.
