From Boy’s To Men

Everyone of us will be confronted to face our fears in the Kingdom Of God, Being A Male doesn’t automatically make you a man in my personal opinion.

I have known 50 year old boys..

I was 26 years old When I became A Man..

And I had to slay my goliath

Every day it would taunt me,

Let me ask you this, what are you afraid of?

1 Samuel 17:8–11 NLT

Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites. “Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! If he kills me, then we will be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves! I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!” When Saul and the Israelites heard this, they were terrified and deeply shaken.

1 Samuel 17:8-

Satan taunts the men in church with the 3 P’s

First Pee, rymes with venus

The Lack of self control with men concerning sexual involvement, entrapment, seduction has gotten worse.

But I’m a Man Of God… I’m a Bishop.. I’m a Prophet.. I’m an Apostle.. But you been married 3 times and none of your wives are dead..

And It’s a Problem with the P.. nudge somebody with ashy elbows and ask them you still struggle with that???

Wait it’s spiritual Incest.. When a Brother sleeps with a his sister or brother in Christ...

And thats why we can’t defeat Goliath..

See ya’ll want now i lay me down to sleep message..

2. The Second Pee we struggle with is Purpose..

1 Sam 17:17

1 Samuel 17:17–19 NLT

One day Jesse said to David, “Take this basket of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread, and carry them quickly to your brothers. And give these ten cuts of cheese to their captain. See how your brothers are getting along, and bring back a report on how they are doing.” David’s brothers were with Saul and the Israelite army at the valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.

So David just needed tomato sauce and would have been delivering Pizza.

1 Samuel 17:20–22 NLT

So David left the sheep with another shepherd and set out early the next morning with the gifts, as Jesse had directed him. He arrived at the camp just as the Israelite army was leaving for the battlefield with shouts and battle cries. Soon the Israelite and Philistine forces stood facing each other, army against army. David left his things with the keeper of supplies and hurried out to the ranks to greet his brothers.

1 Sam 17:20-

David has the ability to assign his task to others when given a new assignment. (thats what men do) manage responsibilities. The text says he is carrying gifts, When your confident in PURPOSE you can carry someone else gifts..

1 Samuel 17:28 NLT

But when David’s oldest brother, Eliab, heard David talking to the men, he was angry. “What are you doing around here anyway?” he demanded. “What about those few sheep you’re supposed to be taking care of? I know about your pride and deceit. You just want to see the battle!”

1 Sam 17:28

The giant will use your family members to have you 2nd guessing your purpose..

See if we are going to walk in Authority we must have clarity of our Purpose..

Ask your neighbor that needs a mint.. What’s Your Purpose?

David tells the King don’t worry about this Philistine.. ( I will go fight him)

Purpose will have you going after what others run from..

Saul says your only a boy!! theres no way you can win, he has been doing this since he was a youth..

David said so have I, Listen your life is your resume.. and the things you have been able to overcome happen because of what God has next.. (So Understanding Purpose is Key..)

You can ignorantly be placed in the presence of the King and treat him like the court jester.

When purpose is pouring its because God places greeter in your presence to expose you.. for better..

Do you recognise the greatness of others. To the point you realize that it requires you to sow up into them???

He’s like King let me kill him for you

3. Pre-destination: the doctrine that God has ordained all that will happen, especially with regard to the salvation of some and not others

David already had the oil on him from his visit with Samuel

It was Clear he was anointed to be the next King.. But what wasn’t clear was how would it happen..

He is given the opportunity to wear the armor of the King Of Isreal.. Know thats a great honer to fight for the king and wear what the king would wear if he had the courage to fight the giant.. See Godly Men that walk in Authority fight there own battles so when their sons grow up they won’t have to deal with those some demons..

Because of the pre-destined plan for David he was unable and unfamiliar with Sauls weapons.. He had never fought in them or perfected them. (tell someone use your weapons wisely)

See I am from the Hood, i hustled in the hood, i did my dirt in the hood, i earned my street credit in the hood. But when God saved me he took me away from my hood and sent me to another hood that i wasn’t familiar with In another city. God had me on stratford ave witnessing to drug dealers and users, in the homeless shelter speaking to battered women and folks with mental health issues, he had me in the BCC ministering to brothers who where locked up.

I had no clue that God Pre-destined me to be doing this, but it makes sense.. can’t use the weapons my spiritual father is good at using, because the generation that He is reaching looks different than the one im called to pastor.

And Listen my giant don’t care about what domination i am part of, how many members i got on a Sunday morning, what platform im preaching on in 2018.. he only care’s about am I relevant enough to snatch people out of hells fire....

And I am here to look you in the face and tell every man in hear, your job is to take goliath DOWN....

Romans 8:28–30 AV

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
