OVERCOMING THAT GIANT - PT - 8.
Past Victories
Past Victories
1 Sam 17:32-37: “ And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.”
Here is what took place. David went before King Saul to explain to him that Goliath must be defeated. Saul and the army of Israel were men that were ‘giant dominated’. But David came before King Saul as a person God dominated!
While King Saul could not understand why David wanted to go out and face Goliath, David could not get over the fact of what God had done for him in the past. King Saul kept talking about how big Goliath was compared to them. David began to talk about how small Goliath was compared to his God.
King Saul began to repeat his excuses. David began to remember his experiences. David kept a spiritual file in his mind and heart of the things God had done for him.
What are your dominant thoughts/words?Are you full of complaints, magnifying your problems or are you full of gratitude, magnifying God above your problems?
"As we recall our past victories, may our faith be strengthened for victory over/against today's giants"
Pray with me;
Lord thank you for all my past victories and testimonies in Jesus name!
Have a blessed day.
