    The Two-Man Lift

    Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 473 views

    When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

    The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

    I am always struck; seized and captured by the language of the bible, and by the people in the bible, but I’m even more amazed, astonished, and astounded by God’s performances in the bible. Even when life seems to be so serene and the perfect ideal, quiet, calm, under control and you might even ...read more

    All of us face giants of debt, abuse, rejection, troubled children, battle fears, health issues, habits, failure, or depression. They seem impossible to overcome. But David shows us how to trust in God to save us. Jesus, our Champion, won the victory!

    God removed David’s fear of the hand of the giant by delivering him from the paw of the lion and paw of the bear. Why Lord would you allow this when others only had to deal with Fox or Wolf? It is because the Lord is preparing you to fight giants that others your age have never fought before.

    1 Samuel 17:31-37 NKJV “Go, and the LORD be with You!” October 22, 2023 Up to this point in history, God had ruled the nation of Israel, raising up judges as they were needed. But the people wanted a king like other nations had! When Saul was chosen to be their king, the people were elated. Saul ...read more

    Need 4 things to defeat the enemy giants (started working on this years ago so have no idea where the outline came from but not original with me). This was focused on a group of older veterans for Veteran's Day
