    A theme in the bible dating back to the third generation when "people began calling on the name of the Lord." It is vitally important to recognize the importance of the Lord's name--it is "hallowed." By calling on it we are saved.

    We who follow the Christ face giants with stunning regularity. Studying David's bold fight with Goliath will suggest the manner in which we must conduct battle against these giants.

    “When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and slung it and struck the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his ...read more

    Facing Giants Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 24, 2019
     | 6,835 views

    "Facing Giants" from the David and Goliath story in 1 Samuel 17. The point is that our "giants" aren't always what they seem to be and neither are we. With the help of God we are greater than we imagine and the giants are smaller.

    1. We love the Underdog stories In February, 1980, the US Olympic Hockey team took the ice in Lake Placid, NY to face the toughest hockey team in the world – the USSR.

    For many people Goliath spells death, or the end. But for the enlightened child of God, Goliath spells, opportunity, and promotion, and a stepping stone to the next level. Goliath shall come down, and you shall go up, in Jesus name.

    This whole chapter will be based on the many powerful revelations of 1Samuel Chapter 17. So let me start by saying, I’ve been hearing a Word in my spirit, and it is this...Goliath shall come down. What do you mean when you say Goliath?

    A rousing speech is very important, and that's what we see in I Samuel 17 with a very young man named David. His speech was exactly what the Israelites needed to hear in their dark hour.

    When it comes to great speeches, Winston Churchill has given some of the greatest. His speeches were often inspiring. On June 4, 1940, he gave a rousing speech to the British Parliament’s House of Commons. Listen to his words: “We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight ...read more

    David was anointed by Samuel as a boy but did not ascend the throne for another 25 years. He faced battles from his family, battles from his enemies, and battles from within. From each challenge he faced we learn that when the Battle is the LORD’s the victory is ours.

    There was no question that David was the underdog. But there was also no question about God’s help. How do we face our giants? There were odds, there was opposition and there was Divine help.
