Move it Forward (Part 3)

1 Samuel 15:20- God tells Samuel not to defeat but to destroy the Amalikites. Now it seems cruel, but any time God says something, it's for a reason. Some enemies you cannot change you must destroy to have nothing remain, they must die. If you do not destroy it, it will destroy you. Obedience is better than sacrifice-like Saul to Samuel because Saul disobeyed and made a sacrifice. In the process of moving forward what is your Amelakite? David had to learn how to encourage himself in the LORD when know one was around 1 Sam 30:6. Go back to the first place or time your Amelakites came, go back to the root of it and kill it. As the song/hymn- "I have decided to follow Jesus, look to Jesus, no turning back, no turning back." Though none go with me I still will follow.
