    God continually saves David from Saul

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 16, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   As God saved David from Saul, God saves us from those who are enemies of God.   Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.   We who are born again are the servants of God, chosen by God, and given the Holy Spirit of God to lead us and guide us that the purpose of God would be fulfilled in our lives on this earth according to the will of God.   Romans 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.   And God watches over us continually and will not allow anything to come upon us if it is more than we can bear.  God makes a way of escape for us.   I Corinthians 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.   💥💥💥   In the following examples, consider how God protected David as Saul pursued David to kill David.  God used a priest of the nation of Israel to give David provision and a weapon.   I Samuel 21   1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?   2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.   3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.   4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.   5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.   6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.   7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.   8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.   9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.   When Saul learns the priest Ahimelech has befriended David, Saul commands he and his household be killed.   💥💥💥   David feigns madness to escape the king of Gath:   I Samuel 21   10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.   11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?   12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.   13 And he (David) changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.   14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?   15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?   💥💥💥   God uses the Moabites to help David:   I Samuel 22   1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.   2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.   3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.   4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.   💥💥💥   God saves David by a prophet.   I Samuel 22:5  And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.   💥💥💥   Saul orders the killing of the priests of God who gave provision to David:   I Samuel 22   6 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)   7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;   8 That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?   9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.   10 And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.   11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.   12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.   13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?   14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?   15 Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.   16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.   17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me.  But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.   18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests.  And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod. (85 priests were killed by Doeg)   💥💥💥 David provides help to the one surviving son of the priest Ahimelech:   19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he (Saul) with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.   20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.   21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.   22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.   23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    It is proven that Saul plans to kill David

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 15, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Samuel 20:1  And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?   Saul was envious of David.  Everyone around him loved and praised David:  his son; his daughter; his servants; his army; and the people of Israel   An evil spirit of the Lord had come to Saul to torment him and the Holy Spirit had been removed from Saul by God.   Samuel, the prophet of God, was no longer with Saul.   And Saul was afraid of David.   So king Saul's solution was to kill David.   💥💥💥   I Samuel 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.   And Jonathan said to David:   I Samuel 20:13  ... if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as HE hath been with my father.   💥💥💥   I Corinthians 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.   I Samuel 20   18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.   19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.   20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.   21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.   22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.   23 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.   24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.   25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.   26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.   27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?   28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:   29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.   30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?   31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.   32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?   33 And Saul cast a javelin at him (at Jonathan) to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.   34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.   35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.   36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.   37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?   38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.   39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.   40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.   41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.   42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever.   And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.   💥💥💥   Titus 1:15-16   Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.   Titus 3:9-11  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    David behaves himself wisely as Saul tried to kill David: (patience, endurance, love even of enemies)

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 14, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Samuel 19   1 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.   2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:   Saul is in a very difficult position.  He is king of Israel although God has removed HIS Holy Spirit from Saul and has given an evil spirit from the Lord to Saul to torment Saul.   The army loves David.  The people love David.  Saul's son, Jonathan, loves David.  Saul's daughter, Michal, loves David and has become David's wife.   I Samuel 19   4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:   5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?   6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he (David) shall not be slain.   (But Saul will not keep his word and immediately Saul continues his goal to kill David.)   7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.   8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.   9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.   10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.   11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.   12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.   13 And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.   14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.   15 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.   16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.   17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?   18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.   David has the Holy Spirit of God.  Samuel, the prophet of God, has the Holy Spirit of God.  Now they are together as king Saul seeks to do David harm.   💥💥💥   The work of the Holy Spirit:   John 14:26  Jesus says:  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.   John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.   Was Jesus with the people of God in the Old Testament?  Yes.   I Corinthians 10:1-4   Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.   John 1:1-4  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    David and king Saul

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 13, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Even before David fought Goliath, God had chosen David to replace Saul as king and David was anointed by the prophet Samuel as king, replacing Saul.   I Samuel 16:13  Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.   The Holy Spirit had been removed from Saul and the Holy Spirit was given to David, and Samuel the prophet of God had anointed David by the Word of God to be king over Israel.   Though God had made these changes, they didn't come to pass in the eyes of the people until later. Saul remained king and David was little known.  But in the spiritual kingdom David replaced Saul as king and it would be seen by all in time.   In the meantime, Saul keeps David with him and even makes David to be in charge of his army.   (But David is already anointed by God as king to replace Saul. I Samuel 16)   💥💥💥   I Samuel 18   5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.   6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.   7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.   8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?   9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.   💥💥💥   And God has removed the Holy Spirit from Saul, and God has given HIS Holy Spirit to David.   So David has the Holy Spirit and Saul has been given, "an evil spirit from the Lord."    I Samuel 16   14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.   15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.   16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.   17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.   18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.   19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.   20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.   21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he (David) loved him (Saul) greatly; and he became his armourbearer.   22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.   23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.   💥💥💥   But now Saul has his eye on David and Saul is going to try to kill David.   I Samuel 18   10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.   11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.   12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.   13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.   14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.   15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he (Saul) was afraid of him.   16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.   (That would cause Saul to hate and fear David even more.)   💥💥💥 I Samuel 18   20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.   21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.   (Saul kept sending David to fight the Philistines in hopes that the Philistines would kill David.  But the Lord with with David and he was victorious against the Philistines.)   💥💥💥   Saul sets it up for David to marry his youngest daughter and to fight Philistines.   25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.   26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.   27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.   28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.   29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.   30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.   And Saul continued as David's enemy and tried many times to catch David and to kill David.  But God was with David.   2 Samuel 3:1   Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    David and Goliath

That is unthinkable.  It is unthinkable also today to think of any child of God being overcome by this world and it's people and the problems of this world.   Philippians 4:6   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   When we do this thing, God will help us and we overcome all by that which God brings to us by HIS Holy Spirit.   I John 4:4   Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.   💥💥💥   I Samuel 17   32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.   33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.   34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:   35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.   36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.   37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, HE will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.   (David had previous experience with God which equipped him for the battle.)   And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.   💥💥💥   I Samuel 17   38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.   39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it.   And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.   40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.   When we have experience with God and understand faith and how it works through the word given us by God in the battle, we know we will win by that which God has given us as we do HIS Word and HIS will.   💥💥💥   I Samuel 17   41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.   42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.   43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.   44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.   45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.   46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.   47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and HE will give you into our hands.   💥💥💥   I Samuel 17   48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.   49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.   50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.   51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith.   And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.   52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.   53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.   The battle was the Lord's.  The Lord caused the victory.   David did not do this by himself.  God was with David and had prepared David and led David in what he did.   When I read this story in 1975, after God caused me to be born again, I was certain God would uphold whatever word HE gave to us and HE would not allow any WORD from HIM to fail.   I knew all we had to do was do what that Word which God gave us said to do and to do all of that Word given to us.   I knew that we were to do the following:   Joshua 1   8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   9 Have not I commanded thee? says God.   Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    God anoints a king to replace Saul. God removes HIS Holy Spirit from Saul and gives that Holy Spirit to the new king.

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 10, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Samuel 16   1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.   💥💥💥   2 And Samuel said (to God), How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me.   And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.   3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto ME him whom I name unto thee.   💥💥💥 4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem.   And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?   (They were afraid of the prophets of God.)   5 And he (Samuel) said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.   And he (Samuel) sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.   💥💥💥   6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he (Samuel) looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him.   7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.   8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And HE (God) said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.   9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And HE (God) said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.   10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.   11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children?   And he (Jesse) said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep.   And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.   💥💥💥 12 And he sent, and brought him in.   Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to.   And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.   💥💥💥 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.   Having the Spirit of God is critical for by that Spirit we know the will of God so we know what to do in the issues of this life.   So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.   💥💥💥 14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.   15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.   16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.   17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.   18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.   19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.   God has already anointed David as king of Israel by the hand of the prophet Samuel.  David becomes king then and Saul loses the kingdom though Saul will continue to appear to rule.   20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.   💥💥💥 21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he (David) loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.   22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.   23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Saul's disobedience to God. God removes Saul from being king over Israel.

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 9, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   The children of Israel wanted a king to rule over them as the other nations had.  God gave them a king who was Saul.  God even sent Samuel to anoint Saul as king.   Saul was given the Word of God and the Holy Spirit of God (I Samuel 10:10), but Saul did not fully obey God, and Saul did not do what God said to do, and did not obey God, and became very twisted by devils in his thinking.   For devils twist the Word of God and try to justify disobedience to God.   💥💥💥    Saul does foolishly, says the prophet Samuel.   Saul did not keep the commandment of the Lord.  He only did part of that which God told him to do.  Because of this, God removed the kingdom from Saul.   I Samuel 13   13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which HE commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.   14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over HIS people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.   💥💥💥   King Saul disobeys God again and the end comes for Saul.   I Samuel 15   1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over HIS people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.   2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts,   I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.   3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.   💥💥💥 4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.   5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.   6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.   7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.   8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.   9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.   💥💥💥 10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,   11 It repenteth ME that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following ME, and hath not performed MY commandments.    And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.   💥💥💥 12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.   13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.  (Reread verse 3: What God said to do.)   14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?   (God told Saul to kill all ... Saul did not obey what God said to do.  And Saul, the king, blames the people.)   15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.   (Saul is basically telling the prophet Samuel that they had a better plan than God for they were going to use the good animals to sacrifice them to God.)   16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he (Saul) said unto him, Say on.   💥💥💥 17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?   18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.   19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?   (Saul is twisted and deceived and thinks he can deceive the prophet of God, Samuel.)   20  And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.   (See v. 3 concerning what God told Saul to do.)   21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.   22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.   23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.   Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, HE hath also rejected thee from being king.   💥💥💥   (Now Saul changes his story.)   24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.   25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.   26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.   27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he (Samuel) laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle (of Saul's mantle), and it rent.   28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.   29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for HE is not a man, that HE should repent.   💥💥💥 30 Then he (Saul) said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.   31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.   But for the rest of his life, Saul will fight against David who will replace Saul as king over Israel.   💥💥💥 32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.  And Agag came unto him delicately.   And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.   33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women.   And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.   (The prophet Samuel did what God told Saul to do and Saul would not obey God and the consequences of Saul's disobedience are an example for us all today in the New Testament church.  I Corinthians 10)   💥💥💥 34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.   35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that HE had made Saul king over Israel.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    The gods of the people of this present world

    (This podcast was previously published on, November 7, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   We follow the God who created this heaven and earth.  The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Word.   Our God cares for us and provides for all our needs as long as HE leaves us on this earth.   Our God will send Jesus to take us off this earth at the end of time.   Matthew 24   29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31 And HE shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   He takes us to the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, the new Jerusalem.   We are given new spiritual bodies.   There is no more pain, nor sorrow, nor death.   💥💥💥   We hear this world speak of their gods.  We hear what they say to us when they speak.  They speak of money and how they have been wise and saved money on various things.  We hear them speak of gambling where a person can get money,   All the time I hear them speak of this god, I think of how our God who created heaven and earth and all things will provide all our needs.   I think of those things I have read about the end times in the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible.  They will end up casting their silver and gold into the streets for such will be worthless to them at that time.   Ezekiel 7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.   I think of how Abraham turned down the free gift offered by the king of Sodom.   Genesis 14   21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.   22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,   23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:   I think of the times I have told God I want my provision to be from HIM like Abraham.  I don't want to win a lottery of man.  I don't want my needs to be provided any way other than by God.   God will provide all my needs as long as HE chooses to leave me on this earth.   Isaiah 26:2-3   THOU wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on THEE: because he trusteth in THEE.   4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
