Psalms 18:2
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
In the above single verse, king David has used 7 different names
for his God. Surely, king David has not taken these names from another
book to make a nice prayer, but he has personally experienced God in 7 different manners in his own life.
King David is a person who had a mouth of praise in honoring God before the world all the days of his life.
I
received salvation in 1988, being a born Buddhist. Ever since my
spiritual life had been with frequent ups and downs even though I
followed Church leaders and kept myself in regular fellowship with other
Christians.
I
praise my God, my situation has began to change since 2009 as I learned to
communicate with the Holy Spirit. King David, being a person in the Old
Testament, says in the above verse that God is his rock. But, sometimes I say
to the Lord, being a person in the New Testament, "Oh! Lord, I am a
rock in You through the Holy Spirit, that no devil or human can change."
Many
Christians are even scared to make a statement of this nature thinking
that Satan would attack them after they say it. There are some people,
who are scared to praise God for their good health
before others, for the fear that Satan would take away their health
after they testify. Even though they take defensive in this manner,
still the devil is attacking them as and when he wants.
Most
Christians believe that if they are connected with a good church
structure, they are well secured against all possible satanic attacks to
their spiritual life. But for their own surprise, they face defeats, so
called falls or backsliding even when they are under the protection of a
big church by attending masses (services) regularly.
Until we receive boldness to proclaim slogans to the people
around us like king David, in honoring God for all the good things we have
received, the devil continues to stand beside us, damaging
our spiritual backbone in order to make us permanent spiritual
cripples.
