Ziklag, The Place of Restoration - Part 2

The Best is Yet to Come - Pastor Brad

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues a message "Ziklag, the Place of Restoration." Pastor Brad began this teaching in 1 Samual 30 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+samuel+30&version=NKJV). The setting for this passage is that David had ran to the land of the Phillistines, to Ziklag, to get away from Saul. This was David settling for something less, even though God had given him a promise. David and his men had a great loss when Ziklag was invaded and many were captured. This grieved David greatly. His men even began to betray him. "But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God." God hadn't given up on David. He had a calling from God. Pastor Brad continues teaching from 1 Samual 30 beginning in verse 7 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+samual+30%3A7-31&version=NKJV). God told David to persue those that had invaded him and his people. James 1:5-6 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." Don't doubt in your heart. David and his army recovered all, and David gave to all -- even thoughs who did not go to fight. All were given something by God. David said, "But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike.” What is important is that we use what God has given us. God will instruct and encourage you to recover all. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com
