Contend For the Word

Israel fought David as their king to be for 7-8 years because they had reigned and eaten at Saul's table 

Although Judah (praise) had embraced David, Israel and the House of Saul worked to maintain a seat of power while trying to keep the rightful heir off the throne.

They finally conceded after many years of relentless denial of the anointed one.

Scripture says 2Samuel 3:1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

Just because it was proclaimed David would be king, did not mean he would not face opposition.

What we do between prophecy and fulfilment makes all of the difference on whether we will see the promise or not.

Who we have on our side as allies and confidants makes all the difference.

Who else believes the Word of the Lord with us can make or break us.

David had received 600 who stood by his side and believed in him.

When Abigail stood as an intercessor, it kept David from making a bloody bad decision when Nabal refused to help him.

1 Samuel 25:30 she also recognized the call of Divine Providence upon David.

When the Lord speaks a thing, carnal and wicked men will always oppose Righteousness and Holy Words.

The devil will always send assassins and saboteurs to hinder the promises of God.

If possible, the enemy will send death to kill royal seed like Athaliah against her own bloodline and Herod killing all children two and under.

Devils hate deliverers and those who carry authentic anointing.

Where there is the pure oil of Messiah, one will also find Beelzebub working to taint and destroy that oil.

This is when walking in the spirit must be a priority as to secure what has been spoken.

To maintain humility, holiness, faithfulness and obedience one must not lose heart.

When the warfare is at its highest it is time to

1. Remember the Word

2. Rise up

3. Contend For the Word

4. Resist Opposition (cast down lies)

5. Grow Stronger (as your enemies grow weaker)

6.Take Your Place (as the enemies loose their hold)

7. Receive Your Crown

8. Reign In Righteousness.

Believe the Word,, Become the Word,, Fulfill the Word

In His Love,

Jesse Griffin
