Comments on: Ziklag: The Test of Kings http://theschoolofchrist.org/articles/ziklag-the-test-of-kings.html Christ-Centered Teaching for Christ-Centered Living Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:23:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Adi http://theschoolofchrist.org/articles/ziklag-the-test-of-kings.html/comment-page-1#comment-2785 Adi Sat, 14 Jan 2012 06:35:11 +0000 http://www.theschoolofchrist.org/socwp/wordpress/?p=303#comment-2785 Thank you. I faced my 'Ziklag' right on new year 2012. My wife is asking for a divorce. Like David and his men, I wept till I have no strength left. There is no one who can help to salvage our situation. I went to 'Michal', 'Samuel', 'Jonathan', 'Ahimelech', 'Achish' and many others. In them, I found no healing or escape. One by one, my hope and faith is broken and crushed till nothing is left, or so I thought. Then, I found strength in the Lord. God may not permit me 'to overtake my wife and succeed in the reconciliation'. I do sincerely wish for that, but may God's will be done, not mine. regards Thank you.

The best I ever read or listened. Ziklag is what I am still experiencing. Fighting for my life every day is a battle. Crying for healing and deliverance. Crying for your children. Facing one challenge after the other. I pray that God will give me the strenght wisdom and power to fight back so I can receive my crown. Its not easy telling people of Gods goodness and nothing changes in your life. Ziklag. praise God for this encouraging message. The best I ever read or listened.

Certainly spoke to me in a timely manner. I have no doubt you could e-mail this article every 12 months and find it touches people in their situation. Many of the Psalms written by David reinforce what you are saying re-David's actual experience as he walked with God. What many of us do not take into account is that Jesus suffered (in the flesh) in exactly the same way. If you have any doubt about this, reread Jesus experience at Gethsemane prior to his crucifixion and re-read Psalms 22 and Psalms 69. These two Psalms have been a great encouragement to me re-this aspect of our walk with God. Terrific article Chip…. Certainly spoke to me in a timely manner.

Personally, I am in a situation right now wondering why a couple individuals I've had contact with are so set on tearing down and bashing spiritual leaders (I'm not saying I've never visited this place :-( Thank God for His grace! Received deeper insight through this article. This is a very important word to ponder for the tough times ahead. "pursue, recover, and move forward"- so love these Words. Such an excellent article, Chip. What an incredible picture is painted here with words of strength to remember!

Why? Because David instinctively knew that he had no other reliable choice. Such is the power of faith when thought and nurtured through ones intimacy with the Father- come hell or high water- and they will come! Genesis 3:15 Brilliant! Why?

And He is the one that allows situations and circumstances in our lives to test us and see how we will react. Trusting and believing His Word, or become resentful bitter and shrivel in our innerman. If God be for us who (or what) can be against us? God is in control of all things and it is always our choice to encourage ourselves in Him. and go forward. Peace be unto you in Jesus.

If we are to be overcomers, we must get back up out of the dust and pass the test of kings. this article is a great encouragement, it is so true we can get bitter or get better, it reminds me a saying the Lord led me too only this week: you can be pitiful or you can be powerful, but you cannot be both, so choose.
