Why smith?

There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days. The Philistines wouldn't allow them for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews (1 Sam 13:19 TLB)
The enemy has a strategy in our days to disconect God's people with a man who can:

1. Fashion a weapon, tool or implement from the ore
2. Sharpen the existing tools

So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plowshares, mattocks, axes and sickles sharpened (vs 20). They went down! I refuse to go down and they did this for a fee!
This means they depended on their enemies to sharpen their cutting edge. Ofcourse the enemy would not give them the best deal.
So in the day of in the day of battle, there was no sword! they lost the battle not because of lack of soldiers, training or leadership but because of being disconected with a smith!
The Lord has laid in my heart the calling of a smith. He has given me two Major tools! Jeremiah 23:29 ...a fire? saith the LORD; ...a hammer...!
