I Samuel 21:13 NKJV
So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.

David killed Goliath, one of the men of Gath. Moments later he returned to Gath and he was identified.

David was skilled in battle, he was the one that used stones to pull down Goliath the giant. When he got to the people of Gath, he had stones, he knew how to fire stones but he did not use that option, he knew that his escape will not be by blood this time.

It was the use of stones that saved David from Goliath but it was wisdom that saved him from the people of Gath.

There are battles you do not fight by stones, there are battles you escape by wisdom.

Never engage your fist in situations where you should engage your brain.

When Jesus was born, he was to be killed by Pharaoh, he had to flee to Egypt.

Matthew 2:13 NKJV
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

Could angels have destroyed Pharaoh? Yes. But, throughout scripture, Jesus always used wisdom to escape premature death.

John 8:59 NKJV
[59] Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

The way Jesus was to die was prescribed to be on the cross, any death before that cross would have been murder.

There are deaths that should not happen if wisdom is applied. Foolishness has killed more people than the devil.

Men that conquer are men that understand how to hide themselves when it is necessary. This is how men are permanently victorious.

Till we arrive at the point of the full manifestation of what God has said concerning us, we will continue to share some of these things as we journey.

The Shift Has Come
