Goliath Shall Come Down

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 18, 2022

It Wasn't The Stone — It Was The Anointing! By Pastor Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 23, 2025

Goliath was a mighty warrior, a giant over 9 feet tall, armored with bronze. David was a shepherd boy, inexperienced in war, young. In the natural, David did not stand a chance against Goliath. But David was carrying something that Goliath did not have the anointing of God.

God Uses Who You Are

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

We need to get rid of the ill-fitting fashion, or armor, that we’ve tried to squeeze into that’s strangling the life out of us. We need to be who we are in Christ, and utilize our own special equipping. This is what David decided was best.

Have you ever felt as though you don’t quite know where God wants to use you, and you often feel awkward where you’re presently serving? Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more
