Using God’s Tools to Defeat the Enemy | Closer to Jesus Podcast: S2 Ep27 (2025)
In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I would like to share a powerful word the Lord gave me in prayer—about the tools He’s already placed in our hands. Sometimes we look at the pieces of our lives and think they don’t fit together. But God doesn’t need perfection—He just needs surrender.
From David’s stone to Miriam’s tambourine, from Paul’s prison cell to your own life, God uses what seems ordinary to do the extraordinary.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Zephaniah 3:17 – “The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty…”
1 Samuel 17:37–40, 45 – David defeats Goliath, not with armor, but with faith and a stone.
2 Samuel 22:2–4 – “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer…”
Ephesians 6:10–11 – (Implied) “Be strong in the Lord… put on the whole armor of God.”
💡 In this episode, we explore:
-Why your victory is not in the tool—but in the God who gave it
-How to recognize what’s already in your hand for Kingdom work
-A powerful story of missionary E.P. Scott—armed with only a violin and a hymn
-Why God can use your story, your gifts, and even your weakness to change lives
-What to do when you feel stuck in the “median” of indecision
🔥 Whether you’re holding a harp, a pen, a rope, or a prayer—God can use it all. The world might laugh at what you carry, but giants fall, seas part, and prisons shake when Jesus is in it.
🙏 Like, subscribe, and share if you’re ready to stop waiting and start using what’s in your hand for the glory of God.
