What’s the SOURCE OF YOUR STRENGTH and FOR WHOM ARE YOU STRONG? 

03/06 Daily Exhortation (Matt.6:11;Luke 11:3;Heb.3:13;10:25)…

Here’s a FREE FIX this 3/6 from this 3:6…

2 Samuel 3:6 (KJB)  And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.

This is a continuation of one of my all-time favorite verses which is an excellent allegory: 

2 Samuel 3:1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

Keep this in mind as well: 

1 Samuel 14:52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.

People love, love, love the PRODUCTS and PROGENY of PATRIARCHY, but despise the PROCESS OF PATRIARCHY, and yea, the PATRIARCH himself. In pretense, they think to PRODUCE and PATTERN the same results WHILE DESPISING THE PATRIARCH AND PATRIARCHAL PROCESS, but this is deception predestined for failure. 

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. PERIOD. And in every single time period. 

The House of David represents DOUBLE ZEAL (200), the doctrine of the double, the Bride of Christ who gets the worthy portion of Hannah, etc. In short, it points to the church. The House of Saul represents Professional, organized religion which contains some good starts at times (like Saul) but always, without fail, lends itself to apostasy in a SAUL SPIRAL SOUTHWARD. God prophesied a building up of the Tabernacle of David in the last days. The remnant imminent-minded saints are under great attack. 

In our focus passage, Abner “MADE HIMSELF STRONG FOR THE HOUSE OF SAUL.” Bad move. 

I have witnessed this many, many a time. Young valiant men in the making fall prey to the House of Saul Pharisaical setup. Saul gets them. They go down eventually and rarely recover. They absorb into House of Saul pseudo-churches where they can hide and flaunt their House of David training (albeit in the flesh and thusly VANITY)...

2 Chronicles 26:15-16 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

2 Chron 26:16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

Incense is emblematic of prayer. Folks STRENGTHEN themselves but their prayer is an abomination being OF THE FLESH. Like Uzza, Uzziah does that which is unauthorized, and gets leprosy (sin) in the forehead (wicked thinking and judgment of God). Professing themselves to be wise, they become FOOLS. 

2 Samuel 3:33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?

There will always be war between the HOUSE OF DAVID and the HOUSE OF SAUL. Long war. The war casualties are ALWAYS SO SAD AND GRIEVOUS. The House of David will disciple/train folks in the word for years, and then folks will go and join with the apostasy-oriented House of Saul. Satan laughs. 

Folks FORTIFY in the FLESH feeling infallible: 

2 Chronicles 25:8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

Isaiah 8:9-10 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Isa 8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

Will you strengthen YOURSELF this day for House of Saul Profe$$ional organized religion, or for the House of David (which means BELOVED), being strengthened by Christ? –r <3
