“David”

The production of “David” by the Sight and Sound Theater in Branson, Missouri proved to be very rewarding. If expecting a good show, you will not be disappointed. It is performed with excellence. The story is brought to life with personal lessons applied by the Spirit of God, which for me, brought tears of gratitude for God’s goodness and faithfulness to His Word. When the music fills the auditorium with the actors all over the building singing about the Lord being our Shepherd, it is like you are sitting in the halls of heaven where the praise never ceases. The show was very educational to me. I have been reading and studying God’s Word for about sixty years, and it never stood out to me there were other giants slain other than Goliath (2 Samuel 21: 15-22). That was one of those things in the Word that I just read over and never caught its significance. It is easy to do that. But when the Spirit of God brings your attention to it, it can be life-changing. I saw that God raises up a giant-slayer to make the way for others to become giant-slayers. David serves as a type of Christ, who is THE “giant-slayer.” The Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated how to do it and gave others hands-on training so they could do it. He then poured the same Spirit with which He was anointed out upon the church with the Word of promise—your sons and daughters will prophesy with signs and wonders so that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2: 16-21). The outworking of that outpouring was then demonstrated throughout the book of Acts. This is the pattern the church is to follow. Jesus is the original giant-slayer for the church. He put away sin, defeated the devil, and he gave the promise of the outpouring of His Spirit with supernatural power. This is not something to just read over. This is something we each are to personally experience. Jesus said believers would do the same works He did and more (John 14: 12-14). The early church demonstrated this. There has been a remnant throughout the ages who believed and did it. Now is the time for sons and daughters to receive the outpouring of God’s Spirit through the Lord Jesus Christ and rise up and “just do it” in the name of the Lord. This is not a particular denominational belief or experience. This is Bible. It has been there all the time. With our religious glasses on, we can just read over it and receive nothing from it. When we remove our religious glasses and our religious “Saul’s armor,” and we just take the sling of the Spirit of God with the stone of the Word of God, by faith in God, we can bring down the giants. The warriors of David, inspired by the Spirit of God, fought the giants and won. This is for the church today.
