The battle is the Lord’s! Don’t try to get even with your enemies! Let God fight for you! No one can turn the tables like God can!
Morning Prayer with Pastor Sean Pinder
God Is Fighting For You!
I want to read something to you on this morning from 1 Samuel 25 verse 39, listen to the word of God. "When David heard that neighbor was dead, he said, praise the Lord, who was avenged the insult I received from neighbor, and has kept me from doing it myself, neighbor has received the punishment for his sin." On this morning, this is what I want to talk about. God is fighting for you. You're going to be blessed by the word this morning. You'll hear him. You've been my friend. Oh, thank you, Jesus. You've been my friend. You've been my friend. You've been my friend. You've been my friend. You've been my friend. You've been my friend. I just want to thank you. Father, God, on this morning, me and past Amy, we lift your wonderful people up before you on this morning. God, we thank you for strength. We thank you for building your people up. Help them to recognize this morning that you're fighting for them, Lord. God, let them know you're fighting for them. Encourage somebody this morning to let them know you are absolutely fighting for them. The tables are about to turn in their favor. Let them know, God, that you got their backs, and it's going to work together for good. Father, God, you're about to settle it. You are about to settle it. And for this, we say, "Thank you, God." We surrender our will to you, not our will, but let your will be done. This is me and past Amy's prayer for your wonderful saints. In Jesus' name, we pray somebody say, "Amen." Good morning to you, saints of the Most High. We continue in our amazing series, "Overcoming Adversity." And on this morning, we are talking about this. God is fighting for you. There is nothing like when God fights for you. Have you ever had God stepped in and turned the situation completely around? Listen to this. This is first time on chapter 25, because David accepted Abigail's gifts, and David said, "Thank God for sending you," because God knows I was going to wipe your husband out. I was going to bury him for free. Lord of mercy. David said I was about to mess up. I was about to take matters in my own hand, but you with your good sense have kept me back from bloodshed. Thank God for people in your life who can talk sense into you in a moment of weakness and vulnerability. You don't need people urging you on when you're about to mess up and blow it. You understand what I'm saying? You need somebody in your ears who can say, "You know what? I totally understand how you feel." But this ain't the right move. You're about to blow it. That's what Abigail did for David in one of his weakest moments. Now, watch this. We picked this story up in verse 36 of chapter 25. When Abigail arrived home, she found that neighbor, Mr. Stingy, was throwing a big potty and was celebrating like a king. He was very drunk, so she didn't tell him anything about her meeting with David until dawn the next day. You see, this man had the ability to bless David. He had the ability to help David, but he was stingy. He was mean and he had a nasty attitude. Have you ever worked with a boss man like that? Who was just outright nasty and didn't know how to talk to folks? I didn't last too long on those kind of jobs. Oh, no, Jesus. There's only so much you can handle. You understand, right? But anyways, there's a whole lot of you will laugh because you know what I'm talking about. Watch this now. So she didn't tell her husband anything how she went and carried all of that food for David and his men because they were deserving of it. David protected this man stuff and didn't even charge him. He, the right thing for him to do, he should have made the needs that David happened. He didn't do it because he was mean. He was nasty and he was an evil man. He was wicked and foolish. Now, watch this. In the morning, when neighbor was sober, his wife told him, Abigail told him what had happened as a result. This is how sick this man is. Watch this. As a result, he had a stroke and he lay paralyzed on his bed like a stool. Wow. You see, David, David didn't have to do it. But God judged this man. Watch this, y'all pay attention. The Bible says in verse 38, yes, the Bible said it and I want to read it to you. Verse 38, "About ten days later, the Lord struck him and he died." Remember Herod in Acts chapter 12? I believe it's Acts 12. "Kill James." Who was with Peter, James, and John, he killed James. And later on, when he was given a speech, the Lord said to Angel, who smoothed him and the Bible says he fell down and worms ate him and he died. You know something? God is fighting for somebody this morning. You don't have to take matters into your own hand. Put it in the Lord's hands. The Bible says in Isaiah 41, "Tend fair thou not, for I am with you. I will help you. I will strengthen you. I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. All those who were angry and incense against you, the Bible says they will be as nothing and as a thing of not. You will seek them and won't even be able to find them." God said, "Those who fight against you will perish." The word "perist" right there means "drum dead." Come on somebody. Look, just let God fight you battle. Put it in his hands. The Bible says ten days later, the Lord struck him and he died. How he had he been kind to David. And do what he was supposed to. God would have spared him because God is a merciful God. God is a gracious God. But there comes a time when God said, "Enough is enough." And now the tide, I feel the Holy Ghost, "O como, shi, camarababa, kata, la babasaya." "O como no lo buku, shi cama la masa, mando lo lo do buku, shaya." Glory to God. The tide was beginning to turn for David. My God, my God, my God. The tide was beginning to turn. Somebody just left your hands to heaven. Someone typed below this video, "The tide is beginning to turn." Yes it is. The tide. The tide is beginning to turn in your favor. God is fighting for you. When Abigail told her wicked husband, how she went and helped David and blessed him in his manner. He was hit with a stroke and became paralyzed like a stool. And the Bible says about ten days later, the Lord struck him and he died. God fought for David. Didn't God say vengeance his minds? I will repay. Let me take care of your enemies. Don't take matters into your own hands. God is fighting for you. Watch this. When David heard that neighbor was dead, he said, "Praise the Lord, who was avenge the insult I received from neighbor, and has kept me from doing it myself. Neighbor has received the punishment for his sin." Then David sent messages to Abigail to ask her to become his wife, because David realized this was a golly woman. When the messages arrived at Kamo, they told Abigail David has sent us to take you back to Mariam. She bowed low to the ground and responded, "I, your servant, would be happy to marry David. I would even be willing to become a slave washing the feet of his servants." Quickly, getting ready, she took along five of her servant girls as attendants mounted her donkey and went with David's messages, and so she became his wife. God is fighting for you. I say, "God is fighting for you. Neighbor was stingy and lost it all." Listen, Saints. Do right. Do right. If people stood up for you, take care of them. Do what's right. Don't be stingy. Remember those who are there for you. Don't turn your back on them. The Bible says, "Your father's friend." "Your friend and your father's friend." Never turn your back on them. David was a huge blessing to neighbor. And neighbor was wicked and evil towards David. And as a result, God judged him. And he died and lost everything he had, including his soul. It's not worth it. I believe the Holy Ghost is talking to somebody. You've got to learn to be a little more generous, folks. Stinging this will get you nowhere fast. The Bible says, "There's a person who withholds more than they should and attends. It leads them to poverty." That's a stingy person. But the Bible says, "The generous soul shall be made fat." Don't be stingy people. Don't do it. For God loves a cheerful giver. Be a blessing to God's people. Look at neighbor. I mean David and his entire army protected this man's stuff. And he did not take care of them. And God said, "I can't let that one slide. Now you cross the line." And he died as a result. But I'm here to tell you, God is fighting for you. Father, may in past Amy, lift your wonderful people up before you right now. And dear God, we say thank you for fighting for us. God, if it wasn't for you, we would have been defeated a long time ago. But your words, as if God before us, who can be against us, thank you for fighting for us Lord. Thank you for fighting for your people. Bring them out more than a conqueror.
