Get It Back

1 Samuel 30:1–8 CSB

1 David and his men arrived in Ziklag on the third day. The Amalekites had raided the Negev and attacked and burned Ziklag. 2 They also had kidnapped the women and everyone in it from youngest to oldest. They had killed no one but had carried them off as they went on their way. 3 When David and his men arrived at the town, they found it burned. Their wives, sons, and daughters had been kidnapped. 4 David and the troops with him wept loudly until they had no strength left to weep. 5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had also been kidnapped. 6 David was in an extremely difficult position because the troops talked about stoning him, for they were all very bitter over the loss of their sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. 7 David said to the priest Abiathar son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought it to him, 8 and David asked the Lord, “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” The Lord replied to him, “Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them and rescue the people.”

1. Not all trouble is your fault

Jesus said that in this world you would have trouble

Sometimes you are mining your own business and trouble comes

Sometimes you are about the Father’s Business and trouble comes

David and his men were working, while they were working the enemy came and stole their stuff

We are not exempt from trouble

Why is this happening to me, if God loves me?

Trouble is not a sign that God doesn’t love you

Why am I stuck in this struggle if God cares?

Struggles are not a sign that God doesn’t care

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Stay the course, God is still in control

Everything is God-allowed or God-ordained

Whatever happens it will work out for your good

2. Recognize that trouble is temporary

If you are going through hell, don’t stop, keep moving

Don’t make permanent decisions out of temporary situations

Your trouble may seem like it is forever, but it is temporary

The last trouble you had you survived

You thought you weren’t going to make it, but you fell asleep and you woke up

In this world you will have trouble, don’t give you

You are an overcomer

This too shall pass

The pandemic wasn’t forever, some want it to be forever but people are still alive

Trouble just wants your peace

Trouble wants your joy

Trouble wants your security

Trouble wants you crying

Submit to God in the midst of trouble

3. Stop crying and start inquiring of the Lord

David and his men cried all their tears out

After crying, they wanted to kill David

When you cry, you want someone to blame

Usually, the leader gets the blame

Instead of blaming, inquire

David went to God and asked if he should get in this fight

Go to God, He knows all things

Quit the infighting, Go to God

Quit the blaming, Go to God

Psalm 118:5–6 CSB

5 I called to the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and put me in a spacious place. 6 The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?

In your distress call on the Lord

If you confess the Lord, call Him Up

His line is never busy

He is for you

He will never leave you nor forsake you

Don’t be afraid, He’s got you

4. God’s got your back to get it back

You are never alone

Deuteronomy 20:1 CSB

1 “When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

Don’t let your eyes deceive you

The battle is not your

Its not by might or strength but by His Spirit

Put your Hope in God

Faith in God is always available

Faith in God can get you out of any jail the enemy makes

God’s got your back—Get It Back

No weapon formed against me will prosper

There are weapons formed against you but they will not prosper

God made the silversmith that created the weapon

God breathed life into the lives of your haters

God allowed that heartache to take place

God allowed you to lose everything

God’s got your back to get it back

5. Time to get what was stolen back

The enemy came and stole your joy, peace, hope, and your security

We used to walk in victory

When did the enemy steal your stuff?

You’ve lost long enough

Time to GET IT BACK

God says, “Go get your stuff back, for you will succeed”

Get your joy back

Get your peace back

Get your hope back

Get your security back

Get your blessing back

Get your courage back

Get your victory back

Get your family back

Get your financial blessing back

Get your promise back

Go Get IT Back

You are now in a season of Great Favor

Get Your Stuff Back

You will reap the harvest that you have been waiting for

You are now at the front of the line

You will not be overlooked

Get your confidence back

God is for you

Get your stuff back

I hear the Lord saying that He is shifting seasons

Season of favor is here

Season of Joy is here

Season of Victory is here

Season of Abundance is here

Season of New Wine is Here

Season of Great Faith is Here

God is moving on loan officers

God is giving you creativity that will bring much blessing

God is showering you with favor

The rain of Great Favor is here

The rain of Abundance is here
