Spoils!!

In times of war in ancient days, and even in some wars today when an enemy was defeated the victor plunder the camp of the fallen. They took what every was of value and destroyed everything else. Many times they would take the dead bodies of the leaders and show them in the towns. We have even seen that today in Iraq and Somalia. When Saul fell on a sword the Philistines cut his head off and then pinned his body to the wall of one of their gods. His armor was on display in the temple of the false gods of the Philistines. They were displaying their spoils of battle. I felt lead to preach on this last night and to share it in this blog. We too have won some battles, and we need to display our spoils before the enemy and the world. At times when God has revealed to us how the enemy laid a trap for us and God helped us to defeat him, and when we come to the end of a valley with victory, or the top of a mountain with glory, we must tell the world what our God can do. The enemy is so bold to rub it in the face of God’s people when someone backslides, or looses a battle, or when someone is praying for healing and God chooses to move in another direction. Be assured he will do all he can to make sure if he feels it is a defeat for God’s people to broadcast it. I like to remind him that at Calvary he lost completely, when we claim the cross he looks like what he is, A COMPLETE FOOL. God help us to rub it is face every time we get a chance. Bottom line, he was plunder, and pounded by my savior. JESUS
