David was introduced to battle on a field that looked much like the battlefield on which we fight for the Christian Life today. This slide presentation is a part of the Series "What We Carry into battle" It was Preached by Pastor Sayo Ajiboye at Victory Court RCCG Bellevue WA on August 23 2009

1. Thoughts About The battleField On Socoh, Azekah and EphesDamin 1Samuel 17:1

2. Review - 1Samuel 17 :1 The Philistines Chose to Attack Israel Where They camped was Significant…. It was a “Bushy Place” that belonged to Judah on the way to the Place which has been “Dug Over” at the “Boundary of the Blood”

3. Socoh - The Bushy Place Watch over Your Land! Don’t let it go to Weeds!!! Learn from the Mistakes of those that Have Gone Before you…. Socoh is a Parable to What the Fathers Did Not Do. Judges 1:19, 21, 27- 36 Know this for a Fact… The Enemy will Camp in the Place you have not Conquered

4. What to Do with Socoh - “The Bushy Place…” Break Up Your Fallow Ground

5. “The Bushy Place…” Jer 4:3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, "Break up your fallowground, And do not sow among thorns.

6. “The Bushy Place…” Ho 10:12 Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallowground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.

7. Azekah - “The Fox Hole” Azekah means “Dug In”Like a Soldier in a Fox Holes We must not Allow the Enemy to Install a Fortress Mentality on Our Hard Drives

8. Dealing with Fox Holes Learn to Move… Deut 1:6 - 8 Move to Higher Grounds… 1Sam 5:6-7 Move Under Fire… 1Sam 5:17 – 25 Move away from all that Covers your Vision… Gen 26:17 - 32

9. EphesDaminThe Boundary of The Blood When It Comes to Sin, Do Not Test the Edges… Flee! Be At the Center of The Blood NOT at its Boundary
