1Chronicles 14

Are you looking for Baal-perazim?

This is a story about a break through. It's about breaking out.
What holds you back? What causes you to fear to move forward? Fear is not from God because in his light you can see everything. Fear comes when you are in darkness and you can not see your enemy but you know he is there.  When you are living in darkness his movements are unknown to you and this  causes your imagination give him more power then necessary. But when you live in the light of the truth of the living God you can walk within his light and he will guide you and keep you from falling into a pit of fear and despair.

I read today in 1Chronicles 14 a story about  King David and in that story he asked God a question. He asked Him, "If I go out and fight them, (his enemies) will you give me the victory"?  And the Lord replied, "Yes, I will". 

So David did attack his enemy with the assurance that God Almighty was with him and would be his defender. As I read the account of this battle I became very excited when I saw what the name of the place was where the victory took place. The place was called " Baal-perazim" which means.... THE PLACE OF BREAK THROUGH!!!!!........

God has the victory set for you. Jesus Christ died to conquer fear, sin and death. There is nothing in this world that can stop you from receiving victory in your life. Your enemy... the devil is out searching for you, searching to steal, kill and destroy your relationship with God. He wants you to fear the battle, to fear the thought of loss. He is out to take from you your peace of mind, your family, your finances, he is even out to steal your faith. If he can stop you from believing without seeing then he has made great progress toward binding you in fear.

We need to be like David. God called David a man after His own heart. We need to do as David did when he knew his enemy was approaching. We need to ask for God to guide us through our time of trouble. We need to believe that God is God and to remember that the victory has already been won. The issue was settled when Christ died. If you have a battle with drugs, alcohol, sex, anger, laziness, or any other sin that stops or slows your relationship with God, then you need to go to the "Place of Break Through".  

Don't worry, your not the one that does the breaking through, God is........ but you are the one who must carry the shield of Faith. All that is required of you is to walk by faith and God will make a way for you when all seems hopeless. You must keep that shield of Faith in the forefront of your mind because that is where your enemy the devil likes to tread. You need keep your mind clear and focused on the Living True Words of God and not on the dying, lying words that come from the father of lies. AKA.... The devil.
