But what kind of men?
God gave David not the elite or the sophisticated; He gave him those who were in debt and discontented with life. David turned those men into the best fighting men of their day. In fact, David never lost a battle during his entire reign as king of Israel-quite a feat for a bunch of no-name, lowlifes! Whatever you call them, they were exceptional warriors. He built His life into these men, which resulted in 12 men who turned the world upside down. Are you investing your life to build other mighty men or women? David and Jesus set the example of what can be done when we invest in others.
God does extraordinary things through men who have an extraordinary God.
The 700 Club with Pat Robertson
Ask God to use your life to be a mighty man or woman for a cause greater than yourself. Your heart will weep, and if you prevail long enough, your eyes may also fill with tears. Your feeblest words, empowered by the Spirit, can move Omnipotence.
It is not for you to see how much you can do for God. It is for you to see how much more of God you can get into your praying. It is God the Spirit who makes the difference.

Be filled with the Spirit. Clear away any controversy, any veil between your soul and God. Obey God in every step you know to take.
Becoming Mighty Men
Present yourself totally, utterly, eternally to God in absolute surrender, asking the Spirit to fill you. Be thorough; make sure your surrender is real and total. Then in simple faith appropriate what God has promised: If you wait on God, your strength will be renewed Isa. In Acts the believers were filled and refilled with the Holy Spirit.
As you drive your car, you do not need to get your car repaired every hundred miles or so. But you do need to refill it with the fuel that gives you power. A holy soul often senses spiritual depletion right in the midst of loving service to God and others.
Becoming a Mighty Man
We live in a world whose environment depletes us. We war a spiritual warfare that depletes us. Go alone with God. He will refill you again and again. You must stay filled with the Spirit to pray in the Spirit. You must wait on God if you would be refilled. You must feast on His words, chapter after chapter, if you would be refilled. In His last teaching before the cross, Jesus revealed to us, His followers, that praying was to take a whole new dimension of power through praying in His name, through His words abiding in us, and through the help of the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit.
Prayer power is not something worked up. It is not loudness of voice or physical or emotional self-assertion. It is power of the Spirit within your spirit.
He will work mightily in you as He prays mightily through you. He will burn the "ought" of prevailing prayer in your innermost soul. He will give you a holy "must" that drives you to your knees. In this restless, busy age most of us have never learned to give God time in prayer.
