Almighty God in You - A Killer of Giants
Remember, before the slaying of the Giant of Gath, young David placed his firm trust and reliance in the God and Savior of Israel. He took every opportunity to apply himself and trust in his Great Savior. The more he trusted and applied God’s Word for his life the more he grew. David became confident and had full assurance in the Lord in whom He trusted with all his heart (1 Sam. 17:32-37). David worked with what he had and gave it all to Almighty God for His glory (Acts 13:21-22). As a young man and the youngest of eight, David was absolutely loyal, faithful and diligent in the tasks that were given unto him. David's application of the truth and his walk with Almighty God would make him fearless and a mighty man of valor.
David's application of the truth and his walk with Almighty God would make him fearless and a mighty man of valor.
Young David was a shepherd boy who was given a few sheep to watch over. In this task he was faithful and extremely protective. In the sheep's defense he slew not only a bear but also a lion. May I say, how many young boys do you know who would do such a thing? Almighty God was doing a great work in David's heart and was preparing David for exceedingly great things. He was raising up a man to serve for His glory and honor and to testify to the nations that their is a God in Israel (1 Sam. 16:12, 17:32-37, 2 Sam. 7:8, Psalm 78:70 ).
So it was no wonder that when all of Israel was unbelieving and fearful in light of their arch enemy the Philistines (1 Sam. 17:23-24), that the passion and zeal of David was burning hot for the God of Israel’s GREAT Name’s sake. This teenage boy was willing to stand up and fight in the midst of innumerable odds and obstacles which opposed him. David applied himself to the fullest and what he was not able to do he deposited to Almighty God to work out for His glory and Great Name's sake (1 Sam. 17:45-47).
In the end, David - in the strength of the Lord – overcame the countless disadvantages and slew this violent warrior of great stature (1 Sam. 17:32-37, Psalm 23). Throughout David's life he would go on to slay many giants and obstacles which stood in the way of Almighty God’s will and way for his life (Psalms 3, 9, 23, 34, 37, 144).Oh beloved of Christ! Play the man and fight the good fight in light of this world’s master and his many adversaries.
My friends, how much more are we to apply ourselves today in the little things and seek to be faithful unto the Lord in all that He has before us for His glory and honor (1 Cor. 10:31). We who are seated at the Right Hand of Almighty God in Christ Jesus, blessed with all of the Heavenly BLESSINGS and POWER(Psalm 110:1, Eph. 1:3, 2:6, Col. 3:1-4)!
Oh beloved of Christ! Play the man and fight the good fight in light of this world’s master and his many adversaries (Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12). Let Almighty God work through you for His HONOR and GLORY (Psalm 56:12; 57:5, 8, 9, 11; 142:7), you will NEVER be or see things the same!
What About You?
Sadly, countless children of the King are oblivious to the ETERNAL BIG picture and only subjectively see life through the limited confines of this vain, temporal and doomed world.
They are fools in NOT laying hold of ALL of the precious promises and privileges in Christ that are given unto us to apply in our lives to out work the glory of God.
In their many "self imposed" adversities, testings and satanic siftings, these are taking the satanic bait and are seeking for themselves false saviors to deliver them from the many ills which plague them in this fallen world. Tragically, only in the end, do they reap a deeper despair, confusion and depression, never comprehending the errors of their OWN ways (Gal. 6:3-8, 1 Tim. 1:19, 6:21, Rev. 2:4,14, 20-22, 3:2, 17-19).
We WILL NOT be delivered from all of life’s adversities, but in all things we are to be victorious in Christ!
Beloved, the Christian life is one of absolute adventure. We WILL NOT be delivered from all of life’s adversities, but in all things we are to be victorious in Christ (Rom. 8:37, 1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor. 2:14, Phil. 4:13, 1 John 5:4)! We are to seek Almighty God’s glory for His great Name’s sake in ALL that we do or say (1 Cor. 10:31, Col. 3:17, 1 Peter 4:11)! In that my beloved is found the POWER of prayer for the child of Almighty God (John 14:13, Rom. 8: 26-29)! We are more than conquers in Christ! In ALL of it we posses the ETERNAL VICTORY which has been given unto us in Christ (Eph. 2:1-10, 2 Peter 1:1-10, Rev. 21, 22:1-5)!
Anything prayed for that is less than Almighty God's will and way for your life for God's glory and honor is rebellion and sin.
Anything prayed for that is less than Almighty God's will and way for your life - His highest and best - is rebellion and sin. Remember my beloved,
The GIANTS that stand in the way and oppose God’s will for your life WILL be slain (John 14:13, 15:7, 1 John 5:14)!
In the will of Almighty God you are invincible (Rom. 8:26-39)!
We are to take that hill in Almighty God’s will for the battle is the Lord’s(Rom.8:37)!
My friend, whatever comes your way in these days of adversity and lawlessness, be strong in the Lord, play the man for Almighty God and His great Name's sake, NEVER compromise, fight the good fight of faith and have faith in Almighty God. In doing so, Almighty god in you will become a killer of giants as He works out His will (highest and best) in you for your life unto His glory and honor (John 15:7-8, 2 Cor. 5:17-20, Eph.2:10, 2 Tim. 2:21).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
DJP I.F.
Take That Hill, In God's Will!
Rule It All Joy!
Heaven’s Eternal Perspective Will Set You Free!
Soldiers of the Cross, Press Onward and Be Not Offended!
