God is about to bring you into a season of rest, a place where your enemies cannot reach you. They can only harass you for so long before God says enough is enough. The tables are about to turn in your favor. No more running from your enemies.
Morning Prayer with Pastor Sean Pinder
No More Running From Your Enemies!
(dramatic music) - Good morning Saints, I want to read 17 to you from 1 Samuel 27 verse four, listen to the word. Words soon reach Saul that David had fled to gaff, so he stopped hunting for him. This is what I want to talk about this morning. No more running from your enemies. Your running season is over. I believe God's gonna use the word to bless you on this morning. ♪ Miss the end of all the pieces ♪ ♪ Miss the end of all the tournaments of darkness ♪ ♪ Today is your day ♪ ♪ You're in the right place ♪ ♪ At the right time ♪ ♪ Open your heart ♪ ♪ Rise and we heal ♪ ♪ Him and name are Jesus ♪ ♪ The name of Jesus ♪ ♪ This in the hour hour ♪ ♪ Rise and we heal ♪ ♪ Him and name are Jesus ♪ ♪ The name of Jesus ♪ ♪ This in the hour day ♪ ♪ Rise and we heal ♪ ♪ Him and name are Jesus ♪ ♪ The name of Jesus ♪ ♪ This in the hour hour ♪ ♪ Rise and we heal ♪ ♪ Him and name are Jesus ♪ Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, me and Pastor Amy, we pray for your people on this morning, we join our faith with them. We pray for the strength of God, in their spirit, in their mind, their souls, their bodies. But God, one of the number one requests we have for your people is that you fill them with the word of God, fill them with the knowledge of your will through the Scriptures, give them that ability to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit coming to them through the written word of God. That's why David said, "Thy word, O Lord, is a lamp unto my feet and it's a light to my path." Jesus said, "When the Holy Spirit comes, he will guide us into all truth. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." We thank you for speaking to us. We thank you for encouraging us. We thank you for loving on us. We say, "Have you aware in our lives?" In Jesus' name, somebody say, "Amen." Good morning to you, sins of the Mosai. On this morning, we continue our series, Overcoming Adversity. And on this morning, we are talking about this no more running from your enemies. That season is coming to a close. Dear God, I love when the season shifts. Especially a season where you just been on the run, on the run, on the run. And then God turns the table in your favor. Amen. I want to pick up where we left on Friday yesterday. Verse one of chapter 27, remember David confronted Saul and Saul confess, "David, you will surely succeed." What a powerful confession from someone's arch enemy. He recognized the hand of God who was on David's life. First of all, chapter 27, beginning at verse one. But David kept thinking to himself. Someday, Saul is going to get me. The best thing I can do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me in Israelite territory and I will finally be safe. So even though he made all of that confession, David didn't trust him. So David took his 600 men and went over and joined Akish, son of male. The king of gaff, this always blows my mind. David went to gaff. This is where Goliath is from. Amazing. Sometimes God'll have to give you favor among some of your toughest enemies. Amen? Because he has a plan for your life. David and his men and their families settled there with Akish at gaff. David brought his two wives along with him, a hen on from Jezreal and Abigail, Naples widow from Carmel. Words on reach Saul that David had fled to gaff so he stopped hunting for him. Saul finally ended his pursuit of David. God brought that season to a close. No more running from your enemies. That season of running, there's only so much running you can do before you are all worn out. But I believe the Holy Ghost wants me to say this to somebody. That season of just always running and always running and dodging and God's gonna bring that season to close because he wants to give you rest. There is a time of peace, you know. There is a moment of rest. You know the Bible says about Jehosh's effect. God gave him rest on every side. And I believe God's about to give some of you rest. Jesus said, come unto me in Matthew 1128 through 30. Come unto me all you that lay under heavy laden. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am making lowly and hot and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. There's only so much running you can do. And I believe the Holy Ghost is changing the seasons for somebody under the sound of my voice. God is turning things around for you. And this is what he began to do in the life of David. One day David said to Acus, "If it is all right with you, we would rather live in one of the country towns instead of here in the royal city." So Acus, this is a Philistine king. So Acus gave him the town of Zechlai, which still belongs to the kings of Judah to this day when this was written. And they live there among the Philistines for a year and four months. I'm gonna jump down to verse 10. So Acus said to David, where did you make your way to the Acus with us? And David would reply against the south of Judah the Jeremiahites and the Canaanites. No one was left alive to come to God and tell where David had really been. This happened again and again while David was living in the land of the Philistines. But the bottom line in this entire passage is what I want you to realize is there came a season that came a time in David's life where his run from King Saul came to a close. God ought to take David and hit him among the Philistines. And the Bible says, Saul stop hunting for David. Dad do come a season in your life where the seasons change. And I believe the seasons are changing. I want to pray for you this morning. Join your faith with me in Pastor Amy. Father right now in the name of Jesus Christ, me in Pastor Amy, we join our faith with your wonderful people here this morning. Just how you changed the seasons in David life where he didn't have to run from Saul anymore. Turn the tables around. Your people are tired of running. They are just tired. Turn the tables in their favor. Fight for them, fight for them. God, we thank you that you have heard our prayer and you are going to bring them out more than a conqueror. Your word says in Psalms 34, 19, many are the afflictions of the righteous. But out of them all, the Lord delivers him. Somebody say amen.
