On Fire Rallies- Day 2

Tonight was Day 2 of the On Fire Rallies. Caleb Bislow started right where he left off last night by asking if we wanted to just stay on the edge or if we wanted to go over it

Tonight's Theme: Unusual Soldiers: Baal-perazim

Baal-perazim means "The Lord burst through"

Caleb told of some "Baal-perazim's" in his lifetime where he has seen God burst through in people's lives. What was neat was that most of these people have never "stepped out in faith" and were scared to do this. However, when God calls us to "step out", we better listen and follow through.

Here were the verses from tonight:

1 Chronicles 14: 8-16

8: When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they went up in full force ti search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of God: "Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?" The Lord answered him, "Go, I will hand them over to you." 11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, "As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand." So that place was called Baal Perazim. 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn them in the fire. 13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley 14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, "Do not go straight up, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeion to Gezer.

Some other key points taken tonight:

• We need to listen to God's voice.


• We might look like idiots if we try to listen to God.

4 Keys to know if it really is God's voice speaking to us:

1. Does it glorify God?


2. Do other Christians confirm it?


3. Does it actually come to pass?


4. Is it scriptural?

After listening to this, I really want to "step out" and be an Unusual Soldier for Christ. I need to take time out of my busy schedule to just stop and take some time to listen to what God wants me to hear from him. I want to be one of those who steps over the edge for Jesus Christ!
