"You've Got the Power to Pull it Down"

(KJV) 2 Samuel 5:7-10 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same [is] the city of David.

8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated of David's soul, [he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts [was] with him.

David was God's man.

When you're anointed you don't go through anything by yourself. You have to be careful not to mess with an anointed person.

David was ready, he was chosen by God- but he didn't immediately set up a website. He was anointed to be king and immediately went back to the place  his father had appointed him to- tend the sheep.

God talks to you about tomorrow while you're knee deep in today. It can make you frustrated. It might take a minute to happen, but it will surely come to pass.

He was anointed to be king but he had to go through the process to be in position to be king.

He had to go through the process: survive betrayal, sometimes it's easier to survive it than to get over it, hatred, arrows from the king he was set to replace.

But nothing would cancel out what God had said. People will change their mind about you, but God will never change what he said. It cannot fail because God has said it.

Theres a word over my life that refuses to fail. It will not return unto me void.

He's moving toward his destiny and he's not a minute early nor a minute late. thank God for the process. To avoid the process is to avoid your destiny.

You have to be groomed for greatness. If you allow God to groom you, he will ultimately make you great. God has brought you to the kingdom for such a time as this.

God give me a second wind!

Some of us are exhausted because we've been fighting thru the process. Fresh joy. Fresh anointing.

You can't go forward unless you recognize where you messed up. And when you recognize where you messed up, you can't stay there and cry. Sometimes failure allows God to teach us a lesson.

David had to anointed three times before he could come into  his destiny. Yours not anointed enough yet!

You can't fight today's battle with yesterday's anointing.

You're trying to stabilize things with the hand of flesh. You need to know that your greatest battle will always be fought at the brink of your greatest opportunity.

I must be at the door of a new beginning!

David is at the kingdom and he's in an area where he needs to take something- there was an enemy controlling the territory. They were in the way of his destiny. New dimensions always mean new complications.

Once you realize that you have something to fight for- you will rise up.

The area belonged to him, but it was controlled by a fort- up high- the thing hanging over your head. you've gotta deal with that thing over your head. That thing is controlling you and manipulating you. It is a stronghold, and you need to call it what it is and deal with it.

It's positional!

Anything that the enemy tries to use against you over and over...

That thing that is a stronghold in your life is about to become a stranglehold and cut you off from your destiny.

How do I break loose? All you have to do is change your mind. I dare you to change your mind. Think on a new level.

When you get sick and tired of where you are, you will break loose.

Wipe your tears and quit crying. Get you a plan and get moving. Pray for God to build your self-esteem until you believe that being with you is a privilege.

To the pulling down of strongholds- that means there is a weapon. You may have to fight yourself. You cannot correct what you don't confront.

Pull it down!
