1 Samuel 14 is an account of Jonathan and his armour-bearer having the courage to take on a Philistine garrison.
Jonathan says in verse 6, “come let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few.”
I love the courage and boldness of Jonathan. It seems to come from knowing that God is for him and against his enemies. So, he says lets go across and see if we get a victory. God does not need ‘many’, because with Him all things are possible. So with this encouraging story of faith, we are starting a meeting in Parys as of Sunday the 18th of March. My wife, Jen, shared this scripture and it really does capture our motivation for going to Parys at a time like this. We feel that God can do a great work by few through us in this town. Often when we go through a tough time, we want to retreat and minimize!
This is exactly the time to trust that God can save by few! So we go across to Parys believing that people are going to get saved, God’s Kingdom is going to be released and that freedom will reign over our lives.
If there are some garrisons wanting to intimidate you i your life….Trust God for victory so that His kingdom will be extended where the enemy has been occupying!
