All of us have a mountain in front of us that we’ll have to climb to get to our promised land or our next blessing. The Israelites had to face the Nephilim (giants), Abraham had to face the sacrifice of his beloved son, Jesus had to face the cross, and one day all Christians who are still alive on earth during the time of the Beast and the Man of Lawlessness will have to face The Great Tribulation. Mountains or battles are inevitable, but with God, we can climb them, overcome them, and get to the other side where our blessing awaits us. But why? Why do we have battles in our lives, and how do we overcome them? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the spiritual battles before us in his encouraging message, Ziklag.
Ziklag
What is Ziklag?
1 Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid against the Negeb and against Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag and burned it with fire 2 and taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off and went their way. 3 And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep. 5 David’s two wives also had been taken captive, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
