And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely. And Saul eyed David. And it came to pass that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him. When Saul saw that David behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
And Saul said to David, only be thou valiant for me, and fight the Lord's battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men. Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David and Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually. And it came to pass, that David behaved himself more wisely. (1 Samuel 18:5-29)
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And Saul said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. (Acts 9:4)

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
