2 CORINTHIANS 1:20-22
WHATEVER GOD HAS PROMISED GETS STAMPED WITH THE YES OF JESUS. IN HIM, THIS IS WHAT WE PREACH AND PRAY. THE CREAT AMEN, GOD’S YES AND OUR YES TOGETHER, GLORIOUSLY EVIDENT. GOD AFFIRMS US, MAKING US A SURE THING IN CHRIST, PUTTING HIS YES WITHIN US.BY HIS SPIRIT HE HAS STAMPED US WITH HIS ETERNAL PLEDGE – A SURE BEGINNING OF WHAT HE IS DESTINED TO

1 SAMUEL 16:10-13
THUS JESSE MADE SEVEN OF HIS SONS PASS BEFORE SAMUEL. AND SAMUEL SAID TO JESSE, “THE LORD HAS NOT CHOSEN THESE.” AND SAMUEL SAID TO JESSE, “ARE ALL THE YOUNG MEN HERE?” THEN HE SAID, “THERE REMAINS YET THE YOUNGEST, AND THERE HE IS, KEEPING THE SHEEP.” AND SAMUEL SAID TO JESSE, “SEND AND BRING HIM. FOR WE WILL NOT SIT DOWN TILL HE COMES HERE.” SO HE SENT AND BROUGHT HIM IN. NOW HE WAS RUDDY, WITH BRIGHT EYES, AND GOOD-LOOKING. AND THE LORD SAID. “ARISE, ANOINT HIM: FOR THIS IS THE ONE” THEN SAMUEL TOOK THE HORN OF OIL AND ANOINTED HIM IN THE MIDST OF HIS BROTHERS: AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON DAVID FROM THAT DAY FORWARD. SO SAMUEL AROSE AND WENT TO RAMAH.(MULTILINE

1 SAMUEL 17:40
THEN HE TOOK HIS STAFF IN HIS HAND: AND HE CHOSE FOR HIMSELF FIVE SMOOTH STONES FROM THE BROOK, AND PUT THEM IN A SHEPHERD S BAG, IN A POUCH WHICH HE HAD, AND HIS SLING WAS IN HIS HAND. AND HE DREW NEAR TO THE PHILISTINE(MULTILINE

1 SAMUEL 17:48-49
SO IT WAS, WHEN THE PHILISTINE AROSE AND CAME AND DREW NEAR TO MEET DAVID, THAT DAVID HASTENED AND RAN TOWARD THE ARMY TO MEET THE PHILISTINE. 49 THEN DAVID PUT HIS HAND IN HIS BAG AND TOOK OUT A STONE: AND HE SLUNG IT AND STRUCK THE PHILISTINE IN HIS FOREHEAD. SO THAT THE STONE SANK INTO HIS FOREHEAD, AND HE FELL ON HIS FAGE TO THE EARTH.(MULTILINE

1 SAMUEL 17:50-52
SO DAVID PREVAILED OVER THE PHILISTINE WITH A SLING AND A STONE, AND STRUCK THE PHILISTINE AND KILLED HIM. BUT THERE WAS NO SWORD IN THE HAND OF DAVID. THEREFORE DAVID RAN AND STOOD OVER THE PHILISTINE, TOOK HIS SWORD AND DREW IT OUT OF ITS SHEATH AND KILLED HIM, AND CUT OFF HIS HEAD WITH IT. AND WHEN THE PHILISTINES SAW THAT THEIR CHAMPION WAS DEAD, THEY FLED. NOW THE MEN OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH AROSE AND SHOUTED, AND PURSUED THE PHILISTINES AS FAR AS THE ENTRANCE OF THE VALLEY AND TO THE GATES OF EKRON. AND THE: WOUNDED OF THE PHILISTINES FELL ALONG THE ROAD TO SHAARAIM, EVEN AS FAR AS GATH AND EKRON.
