GO FORTH! HE GOES
BEFORE
And it shall be, when you hear the sound
of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall act promptly, for then the Lord will have gone out before you to strike the army of the
Philistines.
II
Samuel 5:24
David does three things in this passage which should serve as guides for us in this coming year.
This is going to be a year of great advancement for the kingdom! However, we must follow the Lord's directives to accomplish all.
First, David sought the Lord's word. This is a year of going forth. We must seek Father for His
strategies and word concerning what we are to do. We must not just act on our own will but in accordance to His word and way!
Second, David was told to wait on the Lord's timing. Too many times for some of us, it is not
that we do not hear the Lord, but we go out of time. Moses did this when he was a young man. We must wait for the timing of the Lord. He will prepare the way, and then we must
go!
Finally, we must go with faith in knowing that His Spirit is going before us. As we go, Holy
Spirit will have gone to prepare our victory. We can be victorious as we follow the Spirit.
Yes, this will be a year of great movement for the church and each individual. We have the
opportunity before us determined by our Lord! Let us move in His will and His way in His timing. He will go before us for the victory!
Apostle James
