1 Samuel 18:11-12 (NKJV)
\u201cAnd Saul cast the spear, for he said, \u2018I will pin David to the wall!\u2019 But David escaped his presence twice. Now Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, but had departed from Saul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will escape, in Jesus name. No matter how hard they try to pin you down, they will never succeed because the Lord is with you to protect and deliver you. Today\u2019s devotion is a prophecy over your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saul’s desires were pure evil, born out of envy and jealousy. He had very devilish plans for David, hoping to catch him unawares. He was poised and ready, but David escaped. Saul\u2019s plans always failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Likewise, the sons of darkness have dark desires and wish you evil in their hearts. They seek your death and downfall. But I say again, \u201cThey will not succeed.\u201d Why? Because the Lord is with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saul was persistent. He tried to pin David to the wall more than once, but David escaped. He pursued David through the desert, mountains, and caves. But each time, David escaped his wicked hands, for God was with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter how many times they try, they will continue to fail. Be sensitive to God\u2019s Spirit and move with Him. He will show you what to do and how to overcome, how to escape. Don\u2019t walk blind. Walk with His eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saul had moved away from the Lord, and the Lord\u2019s Spirit had left him. A new strange spirit was now in charge, guiding his thoughts and actions. It\u2019s this evil spirit that sought to destroy David. It wasn\u2019t Saul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be aware that backslidden brethren are the most dangerous because, on the outside, they look okay, but God\u2019s Spirit is not with them. They feel and think things that are far from God\u2019s will. They are easy tools in Satan\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I must conclude, however, by saying that there will be times when God may not allow us to escape. Like Stephen, He may choose to use our suffering to bring greater glory and fruitfulness. We must accept this as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
