Hello Everyone,

David faced other giants before he ever faced Goliath. Here are some of David’s Other Giants

THE GIANT OF COMFORT

I Samuel 17:20 Early in the morning David left the flock with a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry.

He Left the Sheep
He left His role of being merely a shepherd
He left his place of security and comfort
He left what he was most experience with

He had to defeat the mentality that said I’m comfortable in my little field.
He had to conquer the giant that said don’t challenge me to do something I’ve never done before.

I got it easy here. I’m doing what I’ve always done why do more?
He had to step out of the average, mundane, the usual, tradition, ritualism.

If you ever really trust and have faith in God-you’ll begin to do things that make you feel uncomfortable- you’ll begin to go places that challenges your faith.

You’ll begin to step out of boats and walk on stormy seas!

WHEN YOU WALK BY FAITH-IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE-IT’S CONTRARY TO WHAT THE FLESH TELLS YOU

YOU WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT!!

THE GIANT OF FEAR

I Samuel 17:11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.

FEAR SEES THE SICKNESS AND NOT THE SAVIOR
FEAR SEES THE DIFFICULTY BUT NOT THE DELIVERER
FEAR SEES THE WIND BUT NOT THE WATER-WALKER
FEAR SEES THE FIRE BUT NOT THE FOURTH MAN IN THE FURNACE
FEAR SEES THE LION BUT NOT THE LIBERATOR
FEAR SEES THE VALLEY BUT NOT THE MOUNTAINS ON BOTH SIDES
FEAR SEES THE MEAN, SCREAMING GIANT BUT NOT THE BIG UGLY FOREHEAD

DAVID NEVER DIGRESSED TO THE LEVEL OF CALLING HIM A GIANT…BUT HE LABELED HIM AN UNCIRMCISED PHILLISTINE

You can glamorize the devil by what you call him
“OOOO he’s a ROARING LION!” “He’s a vicious dragon” “The prince of the air”

Can I set the record straight…

HE’S A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES,

HE’S A FALLEN ANGEL,HE’S A COWARD, A CHEATER AND A THIEF, HIS MOTHER IS UGLY AND DRESSES HIM FUNNY,

AND IN MY BOOK IT TELLS ME I’VE GOT POWER TO TREAD UPON SERPENTS,

HE’S ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED!
GREATER IS HE THAT IS WITHIN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THIS WORLD!

THE GIANT OF CRITICISM & RIDICULE

I Samuel 17:28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.”

THE GIANT OF SELF

I Samuel 17:38 Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
