Saul just-so-happened to use the bathroom in the the cave that David was hiding in. As Saul was doing ‘his thing,’ all alone, without any guards, David’s men saw him and whispered to him, saying, “Today the LORD is telling you, ‘I will certainly put your enemy into your power, to do with as you wish.’”

(Read 1 Samuel 18:6-9) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” Last week we left off with David receiving an incredible promotion. With just having one fight on his resume (killing Goliath), and without ever serving a day in the military, without ever leading troops, without ever attending training, and without ever even wearing a coat of armor, David, the teenager, was promoted to General – Commander of the men of war.

(1 Samuel 17:51-53) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” Yesterday we got to the point in the story when David killed Goliath.

(1 Samuel 17:41-47) This morning we get back to our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” Last year we left off the story of David and Goliath with the war of words that was waged before the physical battle ever started.

(Rom 5:1-5 NLT) Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

(Rom 8:28 NIV) And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

(John 11:17 NIV) On His arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

(John 11:38-40 NIV) Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

(John 11:25-28 NIV) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.” And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”

(John 11:12-15 NIV) His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

(John 11:4-6 NIV) When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.

(Gen 50:20 ESV) As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.

(Phil 4:6,7 NIV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

(John 17:20-22 NIV) “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.

This morning we continue our series entitled, “Re-Energizing Your Prayer Life,” by wrapping up our teaching on “The Fear Factor.”

(Isaiah 44:8 KJV) Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.

(Heb 6:12 AMP) In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises.

(1st John 5:14,15 AMP) And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.

(Prov 27:8 NIrV) A man who wanders away from his home is like a bird that wanders from its nest. This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.”
