Introduction
Hello everyone! We are going to talk about 2 Samuel Chapter 7. This is one of my favourite chapters as I prefer victory better than to be defeated as well as rich is definitely better than to be poor. If you have God’s presence in your life, God will give you victory! The title of this chapter is too simple. Anyone who studies the Bible with me will find that it is very easy to grasp the topic over time. No matter what happens, it will be easy to handle as long as you grasp the key points. No matter where David went, the Lord gave him victory. This is the topic we are going to talk about.
People should imitate David throughout their lives. Do you know what was the most crucial thing about David had grasped about living? It means serving God and building a temple for Jehovah God. For this generation we live in, the most critical thing is to build a glorious church for God. Should man himself build His glorious church for God or should he work with God to build His glorious church? That must be working together with God! First, we must have a heart to build a glorious church for God. In the previous chapter, 2 Samuel chapter 7, it was mentioned that the regrets in God’s heart were satisfied from the generation of Moses to the generation of David.
God has been waiting for the vessel that can be used by Him and finally God found the vessel. That vessel was David. David said, “O’ God, I will build you a glorious temple. Since ancient times, you have lived in a tent, while I have lived in a palace made of cedar wood. This does not seem right.” It was incredible that David only had this intention! Suddenly he leaped to the level of victory. When you come to our Ming Ding Destiny Theology, you feel that you have come to a victorious church, and you will find that it is great to be here! That is because there is a small group of people who once made up their mind and said, “God! We want to work with you to build the glorious church of God and the body of Jesus Christ.
This was the beginning of Ming Ding destiny theology. What comes next is amazing, winning the battle in the spiritual world! This is what we have always dreamed of. What we pursue is to be like David. No matter where David goes, the Lord will give him victory! This sounds so good to say! You may think that David was cruel to kill 10,000 people here and 10,000 people there, . It was too bloody! You think it was bloody, I think it is bloody too. But we must know that God was pleased with David, and God gave him victory. If people want to build a temple for God, they must use gold and silver. Where did the gold and silver treasures come from? They were all stolen by David from the surrounding areas. Money is unjust anyway, so just take them as you can.
David’s level of victory is constantly improving
David has come a long way from the past to the present to build a temple for Jehovah God. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. A seventeen-year-old boy began to wander in order to escape the fate of being hunted by Saul. In the blink of an eye, he became a young man nearly forty years old. He was almost going bald exposing his scalp; fine lines on his face indicating he was getting older. From a handsome boy to a handsome young man, David has experienced too many things in his life! He was pursued by Saul in the wilderness and sojourned with the Philistine king Achish. After King Saul died, he became king of Judah.
But the other tribes of Israel were still under the control of Saul's sons and Abner. Later, the other tribes of Israel submitted to David. After that, the most important thing that David thought about was to get the Ark of the Covenant into the city, but in the process of transporting the Ark of the Covenant, David saw Uzzah being killed by God. The ark of the covenant came to the house of Obed-Edom. After David saw that Obed-Edom had been blessed by God, he brought the Ark of the Covenant to David's city. As a result, God brought peace and tranquility around David, and the enemies around him stopped disturbing them. Ordinary people may think that it would be good if the enemy did not come to disturb it, but at this time David wanted to build a temple for God.
In 2 Samuel chapter 8, David brought his surrounding neighbors to be submissive. The reason why the David Kingdom was the most powerful Kingdom in the history of Israel was because he had God in his heart. David had a heart to serve God and build a temple for God, so God allowed him to expand continuously. The process of expansion is actually very bloody because it is impossible to make the surrounding countries surrender without punishing them and holding them down. After David defeated these countries, the surrounding countries were included in the territory of the kingdom and all paid tribute to David.
Therefore, we must not be benevolence, because benevolence is not what God wants. Nowhere in the entire Bible does it say that benevolence is God’s will. God’s intention is for His people to be at the top and never at the bottom, to be the head and not the tail. If you are on top, someone must be on the bottom. If you are benevolent and do not like to be on top of all the people in the world, then you can only live on the bottom.
To build a church, build a victorious church, or do not do it at all. If we want to do this, we have to do it on the top of the pyramid. How great! It is a mindset that strives for victory and excellence. The most important thing in a person’s life is to grasp one concept, which is to build His glorious church for God. If you do not have this concept in your mind yet, start having it now. If you develop this concept, you will be back to the starting point of your lives. No matter what age you are in, you will be back to the starting point of your lives. For those who are in their sixties and above, you do not have a lot of time left, so stop messing around.
I have seen many people just busy like bees and all day long. They would say, “I am so busy how can I have time to build a temple and serve God? Can’t you see I am so busy?” I said to them “Can you win with your little tricks? If you do not have God, how can you win in the spiritual world? If you cannot win in the spiritual world, you will be like living in rustic countryside. Everyone must know that people must continue to improve at a spiritual level! We have to thank God that Ming Ding destiny theology have come so far. Have we reached David’s level? Not yet! We must follow God and continue to raise the level of victory, pass five hurdles and defeat six generals in the spiritual world, continue to expand the territory of God’s kingdom, and let God’s will be satisfied once again.
Surrendered to all neighboring countries
In this chapter, David might not have reached the point of bringing all his neighbors to submission, but he was almost there. In the previous chapters, when David led his troops in the battle, he would always ask God: “God! Can I attack? God said: “Yes”, and taught David how to fight in the battle. Who was directing the battle? God was ! In the spiritual world, victory can only be achieved by relying on God. When it comes to the matter of victory in this chapter of 2 Samuel, the author writes:
In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines. 2 Samuel 8:1NIV
The author did not write how David was beaten. David was a man who believed in God, and it must have been God’s idea for him to fight the Philistines. God told him to fight, so he fought. Whatever God said, he did. David was such a person, and it was the same in the spiritual world. The spirit behind the Philistines was too small compared to the Spirit of God. David's battle against the Philistines was actually a battle in the spiritual realm. During the war in the spiritual world, David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and captured their capital. In one sentence, the author simply conveyed the scene of the Philistines being destroyed, beaten to the ground, and subdued.
This is like fighting a spiritual battle. When the old horse is subdued, we will also take care of it in this way. In fact, the entire battle process is still a process of exercising faith and trusting God. David's second war target was the Moabites.
David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute. 2 Samuel 8:2 NIV
Just like when we count, the one who counts one is over here. The one who reported two was over there, and the one who reported two was killed. How unlucky that was! The one who reported two lengths was killed, and the one who reported one length stayed. This is life! Who told you to shout twice as quickly as you shouted? Who asked you to measure twice? People can make mistakes, but can God make mistakes? Absolutely not! The man lying down did not even know it. Lying in a row, each person occupies half a meter and one meter. Keep one and kill one. This sounded very bloody, but if you look at it with spiritual eyes, it is destiny, and there is absolutely no mistaking it. By the way, this person was really two lengths, and it was just a matter of measuring two ropes.
It is the same with us. It does not sound very good to say that this person is a bad person. He who measures one rope remains, and he who measures two ropes is killed. We feel something is wrong, but actually it is God’s doing. I saw that some things were beyond my imagination, and there were many random things that were controlled by spiritual power. Suddenly, one year, I had an idea. I am uncertain if this is what others call inspiration. I do like to use the word inspiration because I am afraid that everyone will pursue this. If you are inspired by the wrong thing, you will be very upset. For example, someone said, “God inspired me to buy this property, but I lost money as soon as I bought it.” Some people said: “God inspired me to do this business, but I lost money as soon as I started doing it.”
You were inspired in the wrong way, who could you blame? I do not encourage everyone to pursue inspiration. But at that time, I really just had a sudden idea to make a card for the year. Those of us who have been among us long enough will remember that this happened many years ago. In fact, I used a computer to calculate a random number and arranged the blessing words in order. There were about three to five hundred. Then, let everyone draw randomly. The result is very accurate! I was so surprised at that time. It turns out that at random times, God is in control!
There is a joke, but it is interesting. A sister drew a card to her previous pastor. I also know this pastor. That card said, "I regret anointing King Saul." That sister asked me if she should send it or not? I think it was better not to post it and just understand it in your heart. That pastor really looks like Saul.
David smote the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them with ropes. Whoever measured two ropes was killed, and whoever measured one rope was kept. why? Only in this way will they surrender and pay tribute to David. In the past, the Israelites paid tribute to the Moabites; now it is the Moabites who pay tribute to the Israelites. It is good for a country to be strong. Israel has become the boss among other countries, and other countries are Israel's younger brothers. Therefore, how we become rich is connected with victory. If someone pays you tribute and if you pay tribute to others, will the result be the same?
The Qing government always lost wars and had to compensate others with 10,000 taels of silver and tomorrow with 1,000 taels of gold. They were bullied all the time and had to pay compensation even if they lost the battle. How can this be justified? So it will only be better when the country becomes strong! Who does not feel good about being strong? Being bullied all day long is not a good thing. Later, David defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. Why? Because Hadadezer wanted to take back their kingdom, David went to attack them:
Moreover, David defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his monument at the Euphrates River. David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung all but a hundred of the chariot horses. 2 Samuel 8:3-4 NIV
Later he defeated the Arameans of Damascus.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them. 2 Samuel 8:5 NIV
Why defeat them? If you did not attack them, they would attack you. Later, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated Hadadezer's entire army, he sent his son to pay David a tribute of gold and silver. King Hamath and King Zobah were not compatible by nature. After David defeated King Zobah, King Hamath came to pay tribute. He came to thank David and sent him money. Later, David obtained more than two hundred tons of gold. What year was that? It was more than 3,000 years ago that the temple of the Lord was built, and the walls were all covered with gold. It would be nice if the current decoration could be decorated with aluminum plates, wooden boards, or something like that, but they are using gold plates, and the whole temple is magnificent and magnificent, which was great.
I had been to a place where there was a big golden statue of several galloping horses. Many years ago, those horses were shining with gold. Many years later, I went back to that place again, and those horses were still shining with gold. I think they were well maintained because they were a symbol of municipal achievements. They said to me that it was not maintenance, because those horses are all covered with gold, and they did not need to be taken care of to keep them shining. I was thinking if it was gold, why would not anyone steal it? There must be cameras monitoring 24/7, waiting for someone to steal it.
The temple that David built was all made of gold. Where did the gold come from? They got it from the Syrians, Moabites, Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites. Later, when King Solomon arrived, more people sent gold and silver treasures as gift to David. When people came to pay tribute, they gave you money directly. This is related to victory, so only when you win, you can you be blessed. I have been driving out demons all these years. Do you know what I have heard? Devil often say: I will put the money on a bullock cart and bring it to you; devil sometimes say, I will bring it to you at noon tomorrow. Is there a bullock cart? We have not seen it in the material world, but we definitely have it in the spiritual world. The devil said this: Hit the bullock cart at 12 noon tomorrow and bring the gold to you. I want to tell you that Ming Ding Destiny theology are not poor.
Let us extend this from David. I have summarized a very interesting concept. If a person does not gain victory , he will become poor. What is going on? Preachers are poor, which is basically closely related to being defeated because this person is hold onto the ground and his face is rub on the ground by demons all day long. The demons take away some of the money he earns and pay tribute to the demons. He is always unlucky. Is this, okay? Is it okay to get sick, and then go to the most expensive hospital to see a doctor, which ends up costing hundreds and thousands of dollars. All the money flew out of the window, and he ended as a pauper.
Some people are not sick, but their hearts are sick. In the past, I crossed path with one of a brother's mother, and she was exactly like this. His mother went to the hospital in Handan for a check-up. The doctor said she was not sick, but his mother said, "That was not good. They were not checking it accurately." Then she went to the hospital in another city and again said she was not sick, but his mother was not convinced. She said that was untrue. She went to the hospital in Tianjin, and they said she was fine, again she was not convinced. Finally, she went to the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing. Hospitals in Beijing were so expensive, and the doctor asked: What's wrong with you? ? She said to them that she went to the hospitals in various hospital in all cities, and no one found any disease in me. The doctor understood immediately upon hearing this. How could he stop until he found out that she was sick? He simply said, you are sick, and it was lucky that she had come to them. She spent hundreds of thousands of savings and lost all her money before she is willing to go home. How can she get better as she is always losing the battle!
David was a mighty warrior and was highly skilled in martial arts. He carried the aura of God. No matter where he went, Jehovah gave him victory. If this sentence applies to you, it is great! No matter where you go, the Lord God will give you victory! If you have a heart to build a glorious church; no matter where you go, Jehovah God gives you victory just like me. I have a heart to build a glorious church. This is how it is related. If I do not have a heart of building the church, I will in trouble.
Some preachers are very poor. That is because they are poor in heart and cannot win the battle. This is the greatest tragedy in human life. In fact, victory is God’s help. Is it good to win? Of course. What should I do if I come back with a lot of gold and silver after I win? If you say to God: God! You do not love gold and silver, do you? Then leave them to me. Then you will be completely ruined. Although God does not like gold and silver, He hopes that you will not be controlled by gold and silver. The gold and silver are given by God, but you should not be serving God with the goal of obtaining the gold and silver.
The gold and silver that David received were consecrated and dedicated to God
When David presented gold and silver to God, his mentality was very positive. He said,“God! I dedicate to you what comes from You, and I actually have the opportunity to dedicate to You.” He knew that his victory, no matter which one it was, was given to him by God, and the gold and silver he received after the victory should have been dedicated to God. We must learn from David; he did not love gold or silver, but he only loved God. This divides people into two categories: those who love money and serve money; and those who love God and serve God alone. Those who serve money think that money can give them a future; but those who serve God know that God gives them a future, and they are all sanctified.
We all need to continue to learn this lesson and give our best to God. If you have dedicated your best to God, you cannot say in front of God, “God! You see, I have given so much.” Are all these belonging to you? No. That was originally given to you by God. David dedicated a lot to God, and David lived a wonderful life! David spent his whole life building the glorious temple of God, but occasionally he was deceived, and he became confused. In this age, we ask for God’s mercy. We must not start to become proud after victory. When we become proud, something will happen, so do not treat yourself like an expensive dish. Never think I am rich and every dollar I earn is earned by myself.
There are a bunch of people in Shenzhen have become very rich, and they are very grateful to an old man, because this old man had implemented a reform and opening up, and it was only after the reform and opening up that these people became very rich. The old man drew a circle in Shenzhen, and that place became a special zone. Even the villagers who had no skills in the special zone became very rich. Being rich has nothing to do with whether these people are capable but has something to do with the circle the old man drew. If this person happens to be in that circle, he is rich, but it was not the money he earned.
Many people do not know that it was the government's policies that made him rich. He said, every dollar he earned was hard earned, but it did not take long for him to be ruined. Never think that every dollar we earn is earned with our hard work. Every dollar we Christians have is not earned with our own hard work. If you think it is earned by yourself, it will be ruined. Every dollar is given to you by God, so is there anything wrong with giving it to God? Not a problem at all. Moreover, if you give to God, God will make you richer. How wonderful! Do not think that you are helping God. In fact, it is all God’s grace that God has enabled you to obtain. Now everyone understands why I say it every time: If you do not understand the meaning of tithe, do not give tithe, because the church is not short of money, what is missing is your heart to build a church that is glorious to God.
Setting up a defense Camp
Since it was God who gave David the victory, why did he set up defense camps? Even you do not set up a defensive camp, God will still give you victory. Many people go to extremes when reading the Bible. No matter where David went, God gave him victory! This is true, but is it necessary to set up defense camps? Still needed. When setting up defense camps, we have to have a management mentality and station these soldiers in the defense camps so that soldiers from other countries have no chance to attack. For example, if the US military is stationed in South Korea, South Korea must obey the US. If the US military is stationed in Japan, does Japan dare not to listen to the US? They will think twice! There are political matters behind all armies, so David set up defense camps everywhere, and God prevented the enemies around him from disturbing him. Now all the enemies are neighboring countries and have become vassals of Israel. Wherever troops were stationed, they had to pay tribute to David every year. In fact, this was to prevent these dependent countries from rebelling.
Everyone must gradually develop the concept of working together with God and build God’s glorious church. Do not say, “I already trust God, so there is nothing else I need to do.” But you still have responsibilities that you should fulfill, and this responsibility is management. You have to manage this place well, how to manage it? That is to set up defense camps and station troops there. We still have to do what we should do. Ming Ding Destiny Theology must work steadily in the spiritual world, build up God’s army step by step, and then station troops in various places in the spiritual world to suppress the demons in that place. Building the glorious church of God is also setting up defense camps, which is part of building the glorious church. We all need to be raised up to be stewards so that we can keep the territory that belongs to us in the promised land that God has given us.
David built his management team
David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people. Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder; Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was secretary; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priests. 2 Samuel 8: 15-18 NIV
David built his management team, so management is our responsibility as well. It is our responsibility to train our leadership team to do their jobs well. We must not throw our responsibilities to God. If God entrusts it to you, then entrust it to God. Is God your servant? Kicking the ball back and forth? That is asking for trouble. Therefore, management is a responsibility entrusted to us by God. This is the essence of Ming Ding Destiny theology. God created all things in the universe and placed us on the earth. He gave us control over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and the beasts on the earth. Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Therefore, it is our responsibility to steward this land.
Some people’s logic and theological logic system are somewhat absurd. The absurdity lies in the fact that they are not willing to talk about their responsibilities, and they like to emphasize the power of God. Emphasize the sovereignty of God and then surrender it to God, and these people will be waiting to go to heaven. What are you doing in heaven? There is no specific description found in the Bible about what to do there. But in fact, God’s intention in creating man was to manage all things on earth. What does management require? We need to fight, we need marshals, we need to fight wars, we need to manage the army, and we also need a historian to record the events of history and write them down. In addition, there was to be a chief priest to oversee matters related to the priests, with Seraiah as secretary.
Everyone must start to develop the habit of management and start to improve our management level in various ministries so that we can fulfill our management responsibilities, because that is the practice of faith! Whatever you do, do it with a heart that trusts God.
God magnified David's name
David was an extraordinary person. In terms of literary talent, he was a poet and wrote many psalms. In terms of fighting, his martial arts were very powerful. David can kill lions, tigers, and black bears alone. It was hard to imagine how powerful his martial arts were. David was a Confucian general with good literary and military skills, which means a cultured general. He was also a genius in management. He was very good at management, good at handling interpersonal relationships, and very shrewd in dealing with others. David was shrewd in everything he did. When David was a boy of sixteen or seventeen, he was already a shrewd man. God had made David’s name great. Was that the only reason? No. It was because he was extremely humble before God.
When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!” 2 Samuel 6:20-22 NIV
If a person is humble before God, knows that he is a human being, and is willing to trust God, God will make your name great. David fought battles from the left to the right, and David gained a great name.
When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf. Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, 2 Samuel 8: 13-14 NIV
Everyone will say one thing, David was so powerful, he was a victorious general. The Lord was with David and gave him victory wherever he went. Those who fought with David were trembling with fear even before the fight began. God made David's name great, and his name was given. If you dare not cast out demons, you cannot solve people's problems. The best advice I give you: no matter how old you are, if you are an exorcist of demons, God will make your name great in the spiritual world, and you will not be short of money.
Nowadays, children are desperately trying to get into college. If I could give you an advice do not go to college. There are many people, even they got into the two famous universities in China, Tsinghua University and Peking University, and they will be nothing after they come out. Being a demon exorcist will make your name great in the spiritual world, and you will definitely not be short of money. The devils will listen to you and will send you money. Trusting God and having God’s presence is a priceless treasure. Trusting God begins with fighting the battle in the spiritual world, because the name is gained through fighting. In the early years, our church started by driving out demons. Why? Because various problems cannot be solved. If we don’t drive out demons, how can we fix them?
For example, if a patient with depression comes, besides driving out the demon of depression, what else can be done? If the hospital could cure it, people wouldn't come to me anymore. There was a couple who raised three children, and all of them were ghosts. One of the children has Down syndrome, and the couple are both mentally ill. How do you think this family can live? Someone introduced them to us, and I led them in prayer. It was a tough battle because the children could not speak a word. I led him to pray, but he could only say: Hallelujah. Later, he gradually became able to speak. There is a ghost behind Down syndrome. Where is the child's mother? She was crawling on the carpet, with sticky saliva dripping from her mouth, and I took a whole plastic bag. As a result, her depression was completely cured, and she was able to work.
That was all in the early years. It took a lot of effort to drive away every , but I gained a reputation in the spiritual world: This guy is so awesome! Later, when I was exorcising ghosts, I saw a group of ghosts in a vision. The thing was about one meter tall, standing on two legs, and the other two legs were drooping, like animals standing up. Those eyes looked at me with a fierce look, and they said, "It's unlucky to see him," and then ran away. When the demon escapes, that person must be set free! Because the devil knows my name and knows me when he hears my name.
I was just thinking, why does the ghost say that seeing me will bring bad luck? It turns out that I am very famous in the spiritual world. As long as a ghost touches me, it will definitely be over. It may last for a few years, a few days, or even a few months. I will definitely drive the ghost out because I never give up. Therefore, God wants to make your name great, and your name is gained by fighting. Start cultivating your reputation in the spiritual world. This reputation comes from driving out demons. Once your name is famous in the spiritual world, demons will tremble when they hear your name. How great will that be!
My greatest strength is not that I can persist one minute longer than the devil. My greatest strength is that I have a very clear understanding of God’s words. Ming Ding Destiny theology can read God’s words clearer than many people. It is still a bit difficult for the devil to deceive me. When I am fighting in the spiritual warfare, I found that the dialogue between Jesus and the devil worked best:
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’
This is a good saying. The average pastor does not know God’s words as deeply as I do. If he loses the battle in the spiritual world, even the devils will look down upon him. One time I drove out a demon, and the demon said, “I won't go out.” I said, “Why don't you go out?” The demon said, “I have nowhere to go. I said, “Behind the building is a nightclub. Aren't there many prostitutes and girls there?” The demon said, “I won’t go. I asked the demon, “Why are you not going there? Isn't that place belonging to you?” The demon said, “I want to go to church.” It turns out that demons like to go to churches. I mentioned a church that I know, so I said: “Then go to that church.” The demon said, “I won’t go.” I asked the demon, “Why you are not going?” The demon said, “Farmers.”
In fact, it is not that farmers are bad, it is just that to some extent they do not have enough knowledge and have a small-peasant mentality. That is why demons call that church farmers, and even demons do not like it. We have established a church where demons can stay among us. Even if they lose the battle among us, demons will still have something to show off when they return! Just like losing at the hands of David was normal, because at least they had fought against David before. This is like MMA and UFC boxing. If you can fight with the world champion, it will be very powerful, because you can reach the final. Only after passing five levels and defeating six generals will you be qualified to compete with others as one of the Chinese saying.
Therefore, a name is earned by fighting and winning in spiritual warfare. We must all begin to practice victory in the spiritual world. God will definitely make your name great! Who made your name great? It is God. Who do you rely on to drive out demons? We cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, and no one will not bow their knee before the name of Jesus Christ. If you tell people about Jesus to people in this world, they may be reluctant to pay attention to you, but if you try it in the spiritual world, the demons will tremble with fear. We humble ourselves before God, trust Him well, and then continue to drive out demons and trample the devil’s enemies in the spiritual world. You must pass five levels and kill six generals, and you will become famous!**
After I say this, can you see anything? That is victory and is an amazing thing! Especially victory in the spiritual world! David had almost reached the peak of his life at that time. For a man under forty years old, he was radiating wherever he went. People around him came to surrender in front of him. They had to pay a lot of attention to meeting and eating with David. It was a great honor to have a meal with David because David was the king of the most powerful country in the world, and this is how a person's reputation comes about! I wish my brothers and sisters would join me in building a temple of God’s glory in the spiritual world and a glorious church so that God’s name can be glorified through us, and because of God’s glory, God will make our name big!
May God bless everyone!
