Throughout life we all have our Goliaths, those giants that loom up and try to intimidate us. David had the same experience, but his was a 9-10 foot tall warrior, fully armed, experienced in war, shouting intimidating threats before he even came at him. Sound familiar?
David, even though he was just a teenager, never had been to war, never experienced this situation before, had no physical protection and was half the size, yet he faced Goliath fearlessly, head on, and ran at him!
How did he do that? Here's the difference. David knew his covenant with God and he saw himself defeating his giant before he faced him. He knew God had delivered him from a bear and lion before, so knew He would deliver him from Goliath. He made a declaration first...but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies...whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand and I will strike you and take your head from you....for the battle is the Lord's and He will give you into our hands. (1 Samuel 17: 45-47)
Our enemy shouts all sorts of things at us but we don't need to be intimidated or cower away in fear. Jesus has already defeated and disarmed him at the cross. If you have some giants to face, remember your covenant with Almighty God through Jesus, that this battle is the Lord's and He will cause you to knock that giant's head off!
By faith 'see' yourself overcoming and slaying that giant. 'See' it fall at your feet. 'See' it defeated before you run at it in the Name of Jesus. Make your declaration based on God's word and tell it Jesus has rendered it powerless and God has already given you the victory. Amen.
Romans 8:37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
Have a blessed, overcoming, greatly loved by God weekend.😊x
