You Want to Be Mighty! 2 sam 23:8-39We’re coming to the end of our travels through 1-2 Samuel, and here we find a list of David’s mighty men. There are 4 that are listed as most mighty, and then we get the list of 30To make the 30 is great, but to be listed as the mightiest, is a great accomplishmentIn the Christian life, we want to work towards holiness and rewards in heavenGod cares about how we live our lives, and we should have a mindset- that says- “I want to be known as mighty” We should want our lives to matter- We should want to live a life pleasing to God- And no one may notice, but God- and that’s ok- That our name is written in the book of life
The Mighty are miraculousThe first mighty man listed is-Josheb- Killed 800 men at one time v 8Now Josheb- Adino the enzite- the description of this act mirrors 1 Chron 11- mighty manThe act is- he kills 800 men at one time. Now, I’m not sure if you know how battle works- but this is quite the accomplishmentWe’re not going to get into the morality of this act- as much as we can all agree- it would be next to impossible to kill 800 people at once without a bomb- it would be a miracleGod was with Israel- He was a God of war- moving Israel forward- It took war and this was a miracle- and that’s a point I want to you get in your spirit- the mighty are miraculousWe sometimes drift away from the miraculous- we don’t desire it- but it changes thingsExodus 14:31Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.What miracles do- is make people take notice of God- when you can testify of a miracle- inevitably- it draws people into wonder of who is God and what is he able to doActs 14:33 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.This is all through the book of Acts- Acts 28:8 Acts 3:6 Acts 4:30 Acts 3:16These miracles of the Old and new testament were never meant to bring US glory but GODMiracles only for us are not the Goal- its to draw people to HIM
What does it mean to youAre you walking in the miraculous? Do you even think about it or ask God for it?Perhaps your life isn’t mighty because you aren’t asking God to move miraculously1 Corinthians 12:10-12 It’s a promise of Scripture! We can walk in it TODAYJust few weeks ago- Ps John- Covid and Stroke- Talk this week- Almost normal. Should have diedJohn 14:1212 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.I’m just smart enough to believe that- There are 800 man armies that are and will come against you- and you need to believe and pray for the miraculous- for God to move through youAnd that takes COURAGE- You got to have some pluck-grit- whatever- let God move through you2When God moves- it will bring HIM glory and draw people to HIM2 Ti1:6says to to stir up the gift of God which is in you ARE YOU STIRRING IT UP?Matthew 17:20Mark 16:17Romans 15:19
The mighty are fighters
Eleazar- Defied the philistines, attacked until his had was weary and stuck to the sword v10Now that’s a fighter! Fighting so hard that his hand stuck to the sword- now I’ve never fought with a sword- but I’ve held onto something- sledge hammer- waterski- pull up- you can hold it for so long- or so hard that you actually have to pry your fingers off the handle-That’s the picture here- a man who fought so hard for David his hand stuck to his swordZechariah 10:55 They shall be like mighty men, Who tread down their enemies In the mire of the streets in the battle.
