It’s Time to Take Down your Goliath…


Yesterday I touched on how God uses the foolish and the weak things to confound the wise of the world. Another example of this is the story of David and Goliath. The Lord used little David to kill Goliath, a giant and the most feared of the Philistines.

Today I want to know what’s taking so long for you to slay your Goliath? What I’ve come to find out through my own experiences is when God gives you a charge to carry out his work; it’s usually something much bigger than our natural realm of capabilities. It is something that we cannot do without the help of God.

Don’t fret because like David said, we come in the name of the Lord of hosts (1st Samuel 17:45), we are well able to carry out everything that God tells us to and with much Excellency. Once we make up in our minds to accept the assignment this is usually when we falter, because the enemy shows up and starts to bombard our minds with fiery darts and the next thing you know you are telling yourself, I can’t do it, maybe that wasn’t God speaking to me, or I’ll carry out the next assignment God gives me.

Why do we do this? We do this because it’s easier for us to back out and stay in our comfort zones than to launch out into the deep. In the story of David and Goliath the Philistines stood on a mountain on one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side and there was a valley in between. When God gave you the charge he was telling you to come down out of your safe zone and go and conquer the other mountain, but many of us don’t want to leave our comfort zones and march into the valley to battle.

I’m telling you today to go forth and march into the valley. You are well equipped, you have already won the battle. “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” (Psalm 23)

Folks I’m telling you there are too many mountains (kingdoms) that are still under the control of the enemy. It’s time to have the faith of David and get mad at the enemy for defying the Lord our God and His Church. It’s time to run at the enemy full force and cut him off at the head and take back every mountain (kingdom) that is under his control.

Saints of God it’s Time.
