THE WEAPON AGAINST PHILISTINE

I SAMUEL:1-22

 The Holy Ghost is the greatest weapon against the philistines. From the onset the philistine has been a threat and obstacle to the children of Israel. What made the philistines to defeat the children of Israel? Sin, it was sin that made the glory to depart from Israel and when the glory departed, Israel was defeated by their enemies

In those days, the ark of covenant was physical but today the ark of covenant is spiritual. As a matter of fact, the Ark is in your heart.

PROVERB 4:23

(23)     “above all the things that you guard,

 safe guard your heart; For out of it

are the sources of life”

Today, the battle with the philistines is no more physical battle but spiritual battle. The Philistine wants to capture your heart with worldly things and enticement to sin, So that they will kill your Soul In hell. A lot of souls have been killed by these so called philistines. If they can capture your heart through enticement to sin against God, then they kill your soul and destiny.

The battle with the Philistines today is the battle of your soul. So guard your heart which is the spiritual Ark today. The Philistines was able to capture the Ark because the glory has departed from Israel. And the glory departed because of sin. Now, what is the glory today? The Holy Ghost is the presence of His glory.

I CORINTHIAN 6:19

(19)     “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the

            holy spirit within you, which you have from God? Also

            You do not belong to yourselves”

This is why when you pollute the body, the Holy Ghost will leave, and when what the Devil and Philistines respect leaves the body. They will come to cease your heart which is the Ark with enticement. Remember that it was through the same enticement that the Philistines captured Samson using Delilah as a tool. Look, the devil can only capture your heart with what you cherish most as habit. This why you must arise today and raise a war against every negative habits that will create loophole for the philistines to penetrate your life and destiny and destroy it. ((Judges 16:15-18))

Today because of God’s presence and glory in your life, you will emerge a victor in every life battle confronting you in Jesus Name.

PROVERB 4:23

(23)     “above all the things that you guard,

 safe guard your heart; For out of it

are the sources of life”

The use of the ark for irrelevant things attracted the wrath of God. We cannot determine for the ark with our corrupt nature. It takes the Holy Ghost to guard the Ark which is your heart today. Remember, until the heart is circumcised with the word of God and the Holy Ghost, to see the Kingdom of God is inevitable.
