Peter Roselle: Becoming One With Your Weapon (2 Samuel 23:10)
Channel: King of Kings Worship Center
Date: 2020-04-02

This video was recorded on 3/22/2020 during the COVID-19 crisis. These are war-like conditions where fear tries to get us to retreat. But, just like we sang, “I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God,” we can overcome the enemy of fear. In 2 Samuel 23:9-10 we read about Eleazar, one of three mighty men in David’s army. He stood his ground in the moment of truth and became one with his weapon. The rest of Israel’s army retreated but Eleazar attacked and won. We need to have the same mindset. When Jesus stepped out of the tomb, His resurrection defeated death. Make the decision not to retreat. Make the decision to reject fear and seek the Lord in this time of trouble. Break off that spirit of calamity and terror that's trying to grip your heart and stand your ground in this moment of truth. Eleazar fought so hard that his hand stuck to the sword. God has given us His word as the  “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17) Just as Eleazar’s hand become one with his weapon, we need our hand frozen to the Word of God and become one with our weapon.

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been blessed to be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

What can happen to us when
we're in a time of crisis like this, is that 
our root system starts to surface.
You realize the things that have
become cornerstone truths in your life.
Each of us have a different set of verses like that.
This is one of them for me.
2 Samuel 23:9-10
9 And after him was Eleazar…
one of the three mighty men with David when they defied 
the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and 
the men of Israel had retreated. 
10 He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, 
and his hand stuck to the sword. The Lord brought about 
a great victory that day.
We're in a battle today against COVID-19.
These are War-like conditions and
fear can cause you to retreat.
But, just like we sang, “I'm no longer a slave to fear,
I am a child of God,” we can overcome the enemy of fear.
Eleazar stood his ground in the moment of truth.
The rest of the army retreated but Eleazar attacked and won.
We need to have the same mindset.
When Jesus stepped out of the tomb, His resurrection defeated death.
Make the decision not to retreat.
Make the decision to seek the Lord in this time of trouble.
Break off that spirit of calamity and terror that's 
trying to grip your heart and stand your ground in this
moment of truth.
Eleazar fought so hard that his hand stuck to the sword.
God has given us His word as the  “the sword of the Spirit, 
which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17)
Just as Eleazar’s hand become one with his weapon,
we need our hand frozen to the Word of God and
become one with our weapon.
Dutch Sheets takes it one step further and reminds us
That the word in the Greek for “word” is rhema, which
Means “the spoken word of God.” It doesn’t become
A sword until you SPEAK IT.

In this “Decade of the Decree,” speak God’s word
out loud, stand on the promises of God,  memorize scripture.
Curb your appetite for consuming content that is not redemptive.
You have a lot of free time on your hands -  get in the Word!
We have hundreds of hours of videos on our YouTube channel.
Spend a lot of time going through those videos,
look up the verses, read the transcripts.
What is a better way to spend your free time?
Video games? 
Reading endless Facebook posts?
So many of the things we do with our time
is like chewing gum, it tastes good, but
there's no life-giving nourishment.
Become one with your weapon!
This book is the bread of life.
This is food, this is what will keep you
Immune to that spirit of fear, keep you  out of that
pessimistic mindset.
When everybody else is panicking and retreating,
you're standing your ground in the moment of truth.
You become one with your weapon like Eleazar.
We all have family members and friends
that don't know the Lord,
that are still subject to that torment
of the fear of death.
God loves those people.
He said He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh.
Even though they haven't acknowledged Him publicly,
there is a part of their heart that can commune with God.
Ask to Lord to show you how you can open your mouth and
let packets of life come out.
Ask Him to let those packets penetrate the hearts of the people
you are speaking with.
People turn to God when they realize their lives have been
built on sinking sand...
In Matthew 7:24-25 Jesus says,
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, 
I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
