VIOLENT BREAKTHROUGH

Key Passage: 2 Samuel 5: 17, 19 - 20

Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" And the LORD said to David, "Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand." So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

Satan is an enemy of promotion. He hates to see you blessed or promoted. He is unhappy when you are happy, and he seeks for ways to destroy your testimony. But you must not danted. He will surely fail if you will stand strong in faith in God.

David was chosen by God to be king over all Israel. He did his best in the service of his nation, but King Saul hated him and sought to kill him. He wandered for many years in the wilderness fleeing from the wrath of an ungrateful master. When Saul died, David went up with his family to the city of Hebron and the people anointed him king over the tribe of Judah. But the other tribes of Israel followed the family of Saul and would not recognize David as king. It took seven years and six months of conflict between the families of Saul and David before the whole people of Israel could recognize the man God chose (2 Sam 3:1). A moment of glory came as the elders of Israel gathered in Hebron to make David king over all Israel. David had quick successes as king over Israel, and just as he was being established in his throne, the enemy struck.

The five great princes of Philistia ganged up with their entire army and invaded David’s kingdom with the intention to eliminate him. Their soldiers seemed uncountable and insurmountable. But David was not afraid. He rather inquired of the Lord in prayer, and God assured him of victory. David launched a violent assault on the Philistine army and overwhelmed them. He knew it was God who gave him the victory and exclaimed, “The Lord did it! He burst through my enemies like a raging flood” 2 Sam 5: 20 (LB).
