Face that Giant

Do you have a giant in front of you? I am talking about something or more than one thing that might be keeping you from exceeding as a Christian in life. If so, let's look at it as a giant. Let's name some of these giants, depression, unforgivness, doubt,self- abuse, lust, drugs, alcohol, pornography, unbelief, hate, anger, or selfishness. These are just a few, and they  keep many, if not most people, from receiving the fullness of Christ Jesus. Why is it so hard to surrender to the Lord all the way? What stops us? Spiritual giants! There is a spirit behind many things in this world. For example, why would a man drink himself to death? What would lead a person to rape, or another to murder? Eph. 6:10-20 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This refers to demon spirits.  1 Sam 17. Speaks of a giant called Goliath, a champion out of the camp of the Philistines. This giant was over 9 feet tall. He had six pieces of armor counting the weapons.  He would show himself every morning and evening for forty days, shouting to the Israelites to come and fight, but they were dismayed and greatly afraid. There is no way people in the natural can fight these giants by their own strength or will. We can't defeat these terrible powers of darkness alone. But young David stood up and defeated Goliath with one stone to the head, the very place the giant takes ground. v:32 Let no man's heart fail because of him. David didn't do it man's way. He didn't need man's armor, but He put on The Whole Armor of God and went down to that valley. He told the giant, "You come to me with a sword,  with a spear, and shield, but I come to you in the Name of the Lord of Hosts." What is the giant coming to you with, what is his weapon that brings defeat to your soul? Face the enemy, and put on the mind of Christ. The battle is the Lord's. We come in the Name of the Lord of Hosts. Pray.
