This message encourages believers to live with humility and a childlike spirit, trust God through fiery trials, and remember that God can use anyone who is available. Using David’s flight from Saul in 1 Samuel 20, the sermon compares Saul’s pursuit to the devil’s attempts to stop God’s people, often through those close to them, and urges prayer instead of worry. Scriptures from Psalms 37 and Proverbs 4 emphasize that “the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,” meaning even in tight, restricted situations God keeps believers from stumbling and leads them out. The sermon teaches that trials are stepping stones toward destiny, repentance matters, God’s plan cannot be stopped, and both believers and their children are “one step” from deliverance, salvation, and victory, ending with an invitation to repent, be baptized, and receive prayer.
