It's A Battle Of Altars. Pt1
Goliath was not just a warrior, he was a priest with a functional altar. He goes to battle not just with his weapons but with his gods. How did I know? "...And the Philistine (Goliath) cursed David in the name of his gods." (1 Sam.17:43)
Little wonder, he was a warrior and a champion from his youth (vs4,33). He had a divine backing and back up.
When you engage in a fight with Goliath, you're simply fighting against his gods. Of course, mortals are just a piece of bread to spirits.
Saul, himself came to the battle with just his weapons and many years of war experience; their was no divine backing.
As a result He (Saul) and the entire Israeli were subjected to 40 days in bo***ge and fear, though they were Israelites (God's own people).
God is not powerless, it's your altar that is powerless.
An occultic man will sleep in a graveyard for 3 nights to acquire power while you, a believer will sleep all through the night and you're in the Same business line with this occultic man.
And you're wondering why you only make sakes only when he is done selling his own? He just succeeded in padlocking your business in the spirit realm such that no customer will come to your shop as long as he has goods in his warehouse.
It's not about quoting scriptures and confessing your identity in Christ; it's about building a functional altar and keep burning incense of prayers on it daily.
There are cases of some people, even believers who died or were paralyzed few days after they were promoted in their offices.
How can you that can't study the Bible for 10 mins without dozing off be fighting for a position against a man who sacrifices a baby every month?
And you will be crying "God, are you no longer powerful?"
It's not God that's powerless but your altar.
It is our altars that authorizes God to act on our behalf.
Our weak altars most a times makes God to appear weak, but He is not; He is ever powerful. The limit of God in our lives is our altars.
God can't move beyond our prayer life.
