A Company of Slingers Arising
We know one can put 1,000 to fight and two can put 10,000 to flight (see Deuteronomy 32:20). With that concept in mind, it’s important to understand the power of slinger companies in battle.
When the kings of Israel, Judah and Edom went to battle against the Moabites, 1 Kings 3:25 tells us, “They demolished the cities, and on every good piece of land every man threw a stone and filled it with stones, and they stopped every spring of water and cut down every good tree. Only in Kir Hareseth did the stones in the wall remain, until the slingers surrounded it and struck it.”
When you go to battle, take the whole armor of God. Take the sword of the Spirit (see Ephesians 6). Understand the weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God to pull down strongholds (see 2 Corinthians 10:4). And don’t forget your sling.
Remember the king’s winning strategy in 2 Chronicles 26:14: “Uzziah prepared for the entire army shields, long spears, helmets, scale armor, bows, and slings for stones.” And when you can’t defeat your enemy along, call for the slingers to surround him.
