👇 2 Samuel 11:1
And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Kings Go To War, David Sent Others But Stayed In His Headquarters 👉Jerrusalem. The Lord said the Scandals we are dealing with in the body of Christ today are largely a result of a failure of His Davids to think, live, and act based on what the times demand.
We wouldn't have ever read of David committing Adultery with Beersheba if he joined his troops in the field of Battle. 2 Samuel 11: 2-5. Can I preach?
After the years expired means, there was a shift in time that initiated a paradigm shift in the dynamics of kingly leadership, but David maintained the status quo. Yes, he was anointed, but not current.
How many of us today are still playing David's card? Jerusalem Syndrome is our present-day Headquarters mentality👈
We enjoy headquarters more than we are interested in the Lord's Battle. David was anointed to lead Israel to defeat the enemies of the Lord against Israel, not to indulge in comfort in Jerusalem.
When he stayed back in Jerusalem, while walking on the upper balcony of his palace he saw what he wouldn't have seen if he was fully engaged in the Lord's battle.
The Lord is calling on his Davids to leave their comfortable Headquarters to go to battle. If you need more insight, get in touch.
