People ask me sometimes, will you pray for us? No, I won't pray for you. Why? You're asking me to pray, God will take off you what God wanted to put on you. An ambition in life is to hear God say, you are my beloved son.
I'm a son, but he's a son. And he goes out with his finger in his thumb and... Goliath came. And Goliath had an armor bearer in front of him knocking.
And little David had nobody in front of him except God. You know what David said to Abraham, I am thy son and thy shield. Not that I'll give you a shield, I am the shield.
And if God is between me and that situation, did anybody ever get past God and beat him?
