PREACH IT AGAIN SISTER

I know I have taught this before but H.G. won't leave me alone so I'll preach it again. There was a time in David's life when he was wore out from fleeing from Saul who was trying to kill him. He was tired of running, he was weary with surviving the attacks and running some more. He failed to consult God which is always a recipe for failure, so he made a pack with the enemy king to hang out in his land. He forgot God had other enemies. When he and his men got home they found complete devastation. Their wives and children had been kidnapped, their goods stolen and their houses burned to the ground, nothing left. They cried until they could cry no more. Have you ever been in a place of devastation where you cried until you could cry no more? So alone so tired of the war, so defeated, death would be a step up? After they weeped they decided to kill David. It is always easier to blame someone else and after all he was the leader who had failed them. The world calls what they were going through HIGH IMPACT STRESS. 7 things happen then....years ago I wrote a book called don't feed the demons and that is what high impact stress does....
1. It hinders the ability to focus
2. It hinders the ability to concentrate
3. It decreases the ability to even think about how to move forward
4. It decreases self-confidence
5. It decreases morale
6. It decreases the readiness to maintain the mission
7. It increases irrational thinking

The mob wanted his blood but David got a brilliant idea. Why not consult God? He did and God said in 1 Samuel 30:8 pursue for you shall surely overtake them and you will surely recover all. God always over answers prayer. They recovered wives, children, their goods and the spoils of war from other battles. When you are in that place of high impact stress saints and too wore out to fight just consult God, my friends and pursue, overtake and recover all. Mike Murdock says...when you have nothing left but God you have enough to start over again AMEN!!!!!
