1 Samuel 13-14
What God said to me – You will have battles throughout your life – maybe not physical battles, but battles none the less. When the Philistines oppressed Israel they removed all the blacksmiths from Israel so they couldn’t make weapons to fight them. Even though Israel was not properly armed they defeated the Philistines because I fought on their behalf. The victory was theirs not because of their skill or the weapons they possessed, but because “I AM” their God. When you face battles and various trials don’t be afraid that you are not equipped to handle them. The weapons of your warfare are not physical or talents or abilities. Your relationship with Me is what enables you to fight and win the battles you face. That is why you must continually stay in My word and walk with Me. “I AM” your strength and protector. “I AM” your victory.
