LION KILLER

Judges 14:5

Samson first battle was with a lion. If you can conquer a lion, you can conquer an army David’s first battle was with a lion. If you can conquer a lion, you can conquer Goliath. Lion before Giant Jesus’ first battle was with a lion. If you can conquer a lion, you can cast out demons

Private victories precede public victories. God rewards privacy. House build on the ROCK Preparation is not absence of lions on your path but victory over them

Private victory brings sweetness to your life. Private defeat brings bitterness

Same God who helped you defeat lion, will be with you to defeat Philistine Same God who saved you, will be the One to heal you, will be the one to deliver you

Victory increases with time but not devotion Don’t let the branches outgrow the roots of the tree Jesus increased with FAVOR of GOD & MAN. Samuel Same Greater challenges require greater commitment to God

Don’t let the enemy get away with anything Battle was always personal revenge, not patriotic Killed lion for attacking him – 1 animal Revenged for wife to be TRICKED by riddle – 30 people Revenged for wife given away to his best man - 300 foxes Revenged for his ex-wife was burned – 1000 soldier Revenged for his two eyes – 3000 powerful leaders

Greatest victory was when he was the most incapable Secret of victory is POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
