Keion Henderson - Don't Worry, God is in Control of Everything

I want you to turn to First Samuel Chapter 27. The Bible says that David had killed every living thing there, and that which he didn’t kill, he took. The Bible states there was nothing left-there was nothing left. David went there and killed everybody and everything. I want you to follow me on this because this train of thought is important. David went to the Amalekites; he killed everything and everybody. My question to you is, if David killed everybody, then who in the world is he fighting? If he went to the camp of the Amalekites and killed everyone there and took everything that was left, then if everything is dead, who is David fighting? Here is the answer: in those days, the Amalekites were a dispersed people. They had many tribes, and even though they were separated by distance, they were related by purpose. Don 't miss this: the Bible says the Amalekites were universally dangerous and violent people. So, although they didn’t all live in the same place, they were all akin in purpose. This is getting ready to make so much sense; I hope you’re ready for this. I’ll be ready because I’m about to tell you how the enemy is attacking you. I’m getting ready to explain his methodology and how he works. The Bible says they were a dispersed people, but when David got ready to fight and they got ready to fight back against David, all of these people who didn’t have any relationship-all of these people who were strangers to one another-all of a sudden came together to fight against this one man. Are you listening to me? Here it is: you can identify a person by whose pain they choose to identify with. Don 't miss what I said: you can tell what kind of person you’re dealing with by whom they feel sorry for. You can tell what kind of person you’re dealing with by whose side they choose. See, David was with 600 men; they were righteous men fighting for the Lord. Here it is: these dispersed people, who had no previous connectivity, have all come together to destroy David. Why? Because even though they were separated by distance, they were attached by purpose. And when you’re fighting the enemy, you will be fighting everybody who dislikes the circumstance you’re in. So, the devil will recruit, and you will see people come together. I’m reminded of a lot of groups. There are many people in the world who are for gun rights, but they don’t do it individually; they come together and form the NRA. There are many mothers who have lost their children to drunk drivers, but they don’t mourn all of them individually. What do they do? They come together to create MADD-Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. People are often connected by their beliefs and their pain. People are often connected by the things that have been atrocities in their lives, and all these people in this text have seen a man that God is raising up, and now they’re coming together to pull him down. And let me tell you, whenever you see a team of people coming together to pull you down, it is a sign that they know God has lifted you up. I don’t know who that word is for out there on the internet. I don’t know who that word is for who’s streaming this message online, but whenever you see people coming together to pull you down, it’s a sign that you have been anointed. Whenever you see people coming together to pull you down and pooling their resources together to make sure you don’t achieve your destiny, it is because they know-even though they don’t admit it-that God has His hand on you. And let me tell you, what God has put together, no man can put asunder. That 's not just for relationships; that applies to anything God puts His hand on. I am telling you right now, even though David was wrong in this instance, God did not allow his enemies to destroy him because God told me to tell you that if they were not responsible for your birth date, they will not witness your death date. David is a survivor. David is in a battle and has been in battles he had no business being in, but God protected him. God made sure that even though these people came together and recruited an army to destroy him, they were eventually unsuccessful. I want you to put this in your phone or your tablet. I want to put you on notice that the enemy is recruiting to come after you. The enemy is recruiting to come after you. When you go back to your job, don’t be surprised if people are different when you get back. The enemy is recruiting to come after you. You may be the only person on your street while everyone else hangs out together and never invites you to the block party. The enemy is recruiting to come after you. You may be the black sheep in your family, and you may be the person that everybody is overlooking. Because let me tell you, your family is not even off-limits. The devil is recruiting to come after you. He’s getting other miserable people to connect with other miserable people. He’s getting other hateful people to connect with other hateful people. He’s getting haters to connect with haters, and liars to connect with liars, and ditch diggers to connect with ditch diggers.
