What is God saying to us in 2013?1. Personal Word2. Personal Evaluation3. Word for Summit Church

1 Chronicles 12:38-40 – All these men came in battle array to Hebron with the single purpose of making David the king over all Israel. In fact, everyone in Israel agreed that David should be their king. 39 They feasted and drank with David for three days, for preparations had been made by their relatives for their arrival.

40 And people from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. Vast supplies of flour, fig cakes, clusters of raisins, wine, olive oil, cattle, sheep, and goats were brought to the celebration. There was great joy throughout the land of Israel.

1 Chronicles 14:8-10 – When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they mobilized all their forces to capture him. But David was told they were coming, so he marched out to meet them. 9 The Philistines arrived and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 10 So David asked God, "Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?"

10b The Lord replied, "Yes, go ahead. I will hand them over to you."

1 Chronicles 14:11 – So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. "God did it!" David exclaimed. "He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!" So they named that place Baal-perazim (which means "the Lord who bursts through").

1 Chronicles 14:11 – David attacked at Baal Perazim and slaughtered them. David said, "God exploded my enemies, as water explodes from a burst pipe." That's how the place got its name, Baal Perazim (Baal-Explosion). (MSG)

12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, so David gave orders to burn them.

13 But after a while the Philistines returned and raided the valley again. 14 And once again David asked God what to do. "Do not attack them straight on," God replied. "Instead, circle around behind and attack them near the poplar trees. 15 When you hear a sound like marching feet in the tops of the poplar trees, go out and attack!

That will be the signal that God is moving ahead of you to strike down the Philistine army." 16 So David did what God commanded, and they struck down the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer. 17 So David's fame spread everywhere, and the Lord caused all the nations to fear David.

David was given:1. Specific Strategy2. Specific Timing

Pride + Presumption = Defeat

Humility = Victory

3 points for us concerning this year:1. What brought you victory in the past will not

necessarily bring it this time.2. In the 2nd battle there was a greater supernatural

manifestation. Hebrews 2:14 – Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? Haggai 2:9 – The glory of the latter house will be greater than the former.

3. David always sought God 1st in his decision making process, and God honored him.

Esther 4:14 – For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?

1 Chronicles 12:18 – Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty, and he said, "We are yours, David! We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace and prosperity be with you, and success to all who help you, for your God is the One who helps you."

Conclusion

This is the Year of God Explosion in every area of your life!
