We all have giants in our life we're all facing giants we are all in fact fighting giants right now
there's nobody here who is not dealing with a giant of some kind in their life right now giants
like fear giants like failure giants like past mistakes giants like lust giants like bitterness
and hatred there's all kind of giants that we face in our life you've been running away from
the giant for too long it's time to run toward the Giant when's the last time you ran toward your
giant when's the last time you ran toward your problem when's the last time you said you know
what Goliath of anxiety you're not going to get me Goliath of despair you're not going to get me
Goliath of the worst case scenario I'm not going to assume that I'm going to trust in the armies of
the living God and consequently you run in the direction with faith with courage because you
have listened to the voice of God to defeat your giant you're going to have to fight it's going
to be tough fight anyway it might be ugly fight anyway it might be difficult fight don't wait
for the giant to leave fight now fight today now if defeating your giant matters start now that giant
stands between you and health that giant stands between you and your purpose that giant stands
between you and your destiny that giant stands between you and your God-given potential fight
quit trying to learn how to live with your giant you don't have to learn how to live with fear you
don't have to learn how to live with pain you don't have to learn how to live under
the cloud of your past mistakes and your past failures you don't have to learn to live with
that habit that seems like it has you bound number one once you face your giant the next
step that you've got to take is we're gonna slay that giant we're going to deal with that giant
we're going to do it in the name of Jesus we're going to do it under the power of the Holy Ghost
the enemy wants you to think there's no hope
it's not going to change God doesn't care prayer doesn't work people don't love you
your marriage can't get better all those things it's always going to be like this
God can help us slay the giants remind yourself that the battle is the Lord's
it's not just your battle it's not just up to you it's not just your ability
in all of life's battles listen it's the Lord's battle now here's the problem sometime when you
and I are facing challenges in life and some big Goliath faces us something that we have a hard
time with sometimes you know we never decide what we're going to do with it we skirt the issue we
say well one of these days I'm going to face that but not right now we'll never be able to conquer
the Goliath until we say that's what it is it is sin I've got to face it and I will repent of it
I will take care of that I will settle that once and for all as long as we don't resolve to do it
and do it Goliath will still be out there whatever it may be it may be a habit maybe a relationship
maybe some some idea some attitude I don't know what that Goliath may be in your life but he'll
still remain there until you deal with him and you see getting in the word and getting on your
knees and seeking the mind of God is a proven way to deal with any Goliath that comes into your life
and yes your giant may be big but Jesus is bigger I am not minimizing the giant in your life it is big
but Jesus is bigger Jesus is bigger and this is why Luke 18 tells us that what
is impossible for people is possible with God it may feel impossible for you to take
down your giant and you know what you're right by yourself it is impossible for your giant to fall
but in Jesus name it's time for you to face him and move forward in life
it's not really a contest between the Giant and me it's a contest between the giant and the Lord
and though I wouldn't stand a chance against the giant he doesn't stand a chance against the Lord
this is about learning to have more faith in Jesus than in your giant and what I want
to say to you is your future is on the other side of the giant that you are afraid to face
so don't let your giant hide your future come on just because he hasn't fallen yet doesn't mean he
won't in Jesus name by yourself you don't have a chance your challenge is way bigger than you
but your challenge is not bigger than God and the quietest whisper from God has more power than the
loudest giants roar come on you are not defined by the giants you face but by the God that you follow
how are you looking at the giants that are facing you right now because in God's word Red Seas
can part Jericho walls can fall down the sun can stand still the Jordan River can part Giants have
to fall everything bows every circumstance you're facing no matter how big it looks
no matter the bills you gotta pay no matter how lonely you feel no matter how far away marriage
may look or a healthy marriage or a healthy family or whatever it is you're facing that's trying to
tell you it's never going to change you need to see your circumstances through the lens of God's
word that every circumstance every giant every mountain you're facing can crumble into the sea
as you begin to move towards it with faith in God you just keep moving forward don't you quit don't
you give up don't feel like you got and you got to know who the real enemy is the real enemy is
not your spouse it's not your kids it's not your in-laws it's not your boss the real enemy is the
prince of darkness and he's trying to bring strife he's trying to get you distracted fighting battles
that are unnecessary keep focused on the right fight somebody needs to shift their attention
away from the problem and turn their attention toward the provider listen to me he loves you
God loves you he has not left you alone to face this on your own he is with you
remember his marvelous works which he has done keep a list of his world records has he not walked
you through waters before has he not proven to be faithful have you not discovered his provision
I want to encourage it to write today's worries in sand and chisel yesterday's victories in stone
God is for you
and when God is for you no giant can stand
no problem can continue for there is nothing that is too big for God
through the power of the Lord
every Giant in your life can fall
