So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone…
Words have the ability to bring death and life. When your enemy speaks death you have to respond with life. you cannot let negative words spoken over you go unanswered. Every word spoken is on an assignment and only another word can render it impotent.
