America’s Founders knew they were aligned with heaven when they declared themselves a sovereign nation on July 4, 1776. Although they obviously wanted independence from Britain for personal reasons, they also knew God was involved in the decision. The great book, The Light and the Glory, states the following regarding the signing of the Declaration of Independence:

In yesterday’s post, I shared that David used the strength of his covenantal history with God to defeat Goliath. We in America can do the same. The passage depicting this battle begins by telling us that the land Goliath wanted belonged to the tribe of Judah and had been given to them by God. David was part of this tribe, meaning the land belonged to him.

When preparing to share at the Flashpoint Gala this past Saturday night, Holy Spirit reminded me of David’s victory over Goliath, applying the story to our battle today with spiritual giants. What many do not know is that David defeated Goliath on the strength of his covenantal history with God. The lessons are important for us. The first thing God tells us in the story is the location of the battle.
