And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. (1 Samuel 22:2)
These men were in distress but the government couldn’t provide the solution. These men were in debt but the government couldn’t provide the relief. These men were discontented with the way the government was run.
King Saul was pursuing David. The government and military were seeking for David’s head. By joining David, these men were ready to die. I am sure they knew the numbers …four hundred against thousands in the king’s army.
These people had the impression of misfits, but they were true warriors at the inside.
Are you a warrior of the Lord Jesus at the inside …but you are in spiritual distress …and your current local church structure cannot provide spiritual solutions?
Are you a warrior of the Lord Jesus at the inside …but you are in spiritual need …and your current local church leadership cannot lead-and-feed spiritually?
Are you a warrior of the Lord Jesus at the inside …but you have a spiritual dissatisfaction …with your current local church set-up and the way things are moving?
Are you crying-out?
Cry-out to God.
The nation Israel was in problem because King Saul was running the government. Satan’s ploy is to make the church non-functional or dysfunctional – in the true purposes of God. Satan has been aiming the church leadership to blind and confuse them – making them spiritually lethargy. Satan works to keep the church busy with the wrong things.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)
Pray! Pray! Pray!
You are a spiritual warrior. And warriors fight!
Your true fight is not against the government and structure of your church. Your true fight is not against the people in leadership of your church. Your true fight is not against the programs and activities of your church.
The people joined David. Join yourself to our Lord Jesus Christ who is, even right now, interceding for the church.
Let us fight!
And let us speak the truth in love!
