How Worshippers Defeat Goliath: Prophetic-Presence Based Warfare
September 03, 2016      |     By: Sam McVay, Jr.      |      Category: Sermons

The famous story of David vs. Goliath is not only a great story full of victorious drama.

It is also a study in the warfare that is done by a true worshipper who has been equipped in the Presence of the Lord.

A worshipper who is aquatinted with the presence of God wars differently than a person who is unfamiliar with the living presence of God.

David knew many kinds of war, all of which he engaged in as a man of Presence.
-war against bear and lions
-war against evil spirits

-war against Philistine a Giant -war against a demonized king -war against a prideful son

1 Samuel 17:17-58

David, as a worshipper who had been filled with the Spirit, had become a man who was equipped in the Presence of the Lord!

1) Worshippers process Goliaths with a mind of victory not fear because- in the Presence of the Lord you gain confidence in His faithfulness to always conquer enemies.

2) Worshippers primary weapon is the Name of the Lord because- in the Presence of the Lord you gain revelation of the authority of His Name and his Jealousy for It.

3) Worshippers prophesy victorious truth to their enemies because- in the Presence of the Lord you learn that speaking truth breaks the power of lies.

May we give ourselves to be equipped in the Presence by:
1) Being filled with the Holy Spirit
2) Going deep and long in worship
