In this life
there will always be obstacles,
there will always be challenges,
there will always be giants.
What has defeated you?
What is your giant?
Name it.
Is it fear?
Is it anxiety?
Is it insecurity?
Is it doubt?
Perhaps your giant
or your
improbable feat is
a better relationship,
weight loss.
What has been your obstacle,
your challenge,
your task?
What is your giant?
This is the last day
you are going to allow
this giant
to defy you.
I know
it hasn't been easy.
It's time to win.
GOLIATH
There will be many times in your life
there will be depression,
there will be anxiety,
there will be oppression,
there will be stress,
there will be overwhelm.
Will you buckle under the pressure?
Or will you rise to the occasion?
The Bible says,
that David got up
and ran
into the army of the Philistine.
He ran
towards the battle
and like an eagle
is the only bird that flies into the storm.
It is time for you to fly
into the next dimension of where you have been called to.
What is your dream?
What is your idea?
What is your assignment?
There is a new breed
of champions emerging out of the ashes of doubt
and fear.
Your knees may be knocking,
your palms sweaty
but the time is now
to rise up
and run after it.
Run after your dream.
Run after your idea.
Run after your goal.
Run after it
with everything that you have.
You will never have your future
until you are fully persuaded
that you are a carrier of everything required
to fulfill your destiny.
If nobody believes in you
you got to make it up in your mind
that all you have
is all you need.
You are going to need vision
before you win
you're going to have to see it
I want you to see yourself winning.
If you can see it
you can have it.
In this life
there will always be a man,
a woman,
a boy,
a girl
or a team
who will face
impossible odds.
And somehow through some combination of courage,
will,
grit
and a mustard seed of faith
they'll manage to overcome.
What I love about David
is that David was not only one of the youngest,
the smallest,
the least likely
not only was David underrated
but his weapon of choice was underrated.
And there will be times in life where people will not believe in you
neither what you are carrying.
I'ma tell you the one thing that separated David
from Goliath
and that was his heart
for God
and God's people.
If you are going to defeat your giant
you are going to need heart.
You must overcome what lies between the pit of your fears
and the summit of your knowledge.
Our Goliaths,
our challenges,
our giants
oftentimes meet us
in our valley places.
It's not on the mountaintop that David fought Goliath
but it's in the valley.
I'll tell you this
the tangible giants in our life are defeated
by means that are intangible.
If a man can conquer his mindset
if a man can master discipline
then there is nothing he can't win.
They will tell you
that your dream is too big
they will tell you
that your destiny cannot be fulfilled.
They will tell you
it is impossible to accomplish what you have set up to accomplish.
But it's not about what they say
it's about what you say.
I believe
that you are born to triumph
over every demon,
over every devil,
over every addiction.
You are fighting for your family,
you are fighting for your legacy.
What you are fighting for
is bigger than you.
Do not forget this
David ran
toward the Philistine.
David ran
towards the army.
Your dream,
your idea,
whatever goal you have
get up
and run after it.
You can defeat this enemy
and you can have your future.
If you're going to defeat this giant, if you're going to win the war
it starts on the battlefield of your mind.
This is where the war is won.
Over the course of your life you will discover that the obstacle
is the way.
That there is great counsel in conflict.
We would discover that we are most creative
in the midst of adversity.
So do not run from your battle.
For the battle is a learning experience.
You got to overcome fear.
The moment that you overcome fear
then your opponent
is bankrupt.
There's nothing they can do
you're gonna have to dispense with fear
and with negative self-talk.
Remember your Why
it is the why
that gets us to win.
And it is the why
that gives us the power
to persevere
through the how.
Stop looking for the addition.
Stop looking for the validation.
Stop looking for everybody to agree with what you're about to do.
Stop looking for everybody to understand.
And know this,
all you have
is all you need.
I can see you're tired of addiction
running towards you
with words of darkness,
death,
attempting to strike fear in your heart
will you cower?
Will you back down?
Or will you run?
It's a battle.
But I see a generation rising up
against the one who called you powerless.
Rising up
against the fiery darts of the enemy.
Rising up
against the lies that have held us down far too long.
Rising up
against the despair and the heaviness
and the chronic anxiety.
I have waited my whole life
for this moment.
Thank you
to everybody that doubted me.
Knees buckling,
palms sweaty,
heart heavy
but I’m ready.
I'm afraid, but I’m running.
You will hear my feet
walking the pavement.
I'm no more complacent.
Here's to everybody that doubted me.
Here's to everybody that stopped believing in me.
Here's to everybody that counted me out.
What has been tested?
what has been proven?
Do something with what's in your hand.
Do what you can with what you have.
All you have
is all you need.
