ONE SLING SHOT WILL DO
PART XV
As a believer you need to remember that God's power to overcome the enemy is available to you 24 hours a day 7 days a week. All you need to do is to be obedient to God, be dressed in the amour of God and use the sword of the Spirit to defeat the enemy.
Jesus used the sword of the Spirit, the word of God, to defeat Satan when Satan attacked Him in the desert as you can read in Luke 4:1-13
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days and at the end of them He was hungry. The devil said to Him, "You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." Jesus answered, "Man does not live on bread alone."The devil led Him to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to Him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me and I can give it to anyone I want to. So, if You worship me, it will all be Yours."Jesus answered, "It is written: "Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only. " The devil led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the highest point of the Temple. "If You are the Son of God," he said, "Throw Yourself down from here. For it is written, "He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully; they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your feet against a stone." Jesus answered, "It says: "Do not put the Lord your God to the test." When the devil had finished all his tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
You must learn to use the same method when attacked by the enemy so that you too will be as victorious against the enemy as David was against Goliath. God wants you to know that no matter what kind of battle you may face, God will enable you to be victorious. All you need to do is to use the weaponry He has given you. This weaponry may not look powerful in the eyes of the world but it is powerful in God's eyes. It will, therefore, cause you to be triumphant over your enemy and will give God the glory He so richly deserves.
P.S. This post is the last one on the story of David and Goliath. We will begin to look at the first of two stories on the prophet Elijah in the next post.
