How to Defeat Your Giants
Slay Your Giants
Are you facing any giants in your life? Maybe debt or a broken marriage, maybe a health challenge or some other difficulty in life? We all have circumstances or situations that arise in life that can seem overwhelming. They look like a “giant” or a mountain that can seem insurmountable. I have good news – you can defeat your giant! There are 2 key strategies you need to use to defeat the giants in life. Here’s how to defeat your giants every time-
1. Get the Right Perspective
When David faced the giant Goliath, he didn’t think of himself as just a teenage shepherd boy. Instead he had the right perspective, he saw himself as a giant slayer. He told Goliath, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied” (1 Samuel 17:45) From the right perspective David knew it was with the help of God he could defeat the giant. It was not just him in the natural. He knew God was with Him and he was with God.
God has told us in His Word that with Him we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). Always remember who you are in Christ. 1 John 4:4 tells us, “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Jesus the greater one lives on the inside of you. Don’t be intimidated by the giants in your life. Don’t look at things from a natural perspective. If you want to defeat your giants look at things from the RIGHT PERSPECTIVE – GOD’S PERSPECTIVE! See yourself from God’s perspective – an over comer and a winner. You are a giant slayer! We “walk by faith and not by sight”. Change your perspective and everything changes.
2. Use Your Weapons
David used the weapons he had to defeat Goliath. He used his faith when he said: “This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you” (1Samuel 17:46). He then used a slingshot and single stone to defeat the giant that stood in his way!
God has equipped us to defeat any and every giant that comes against us. He has given us defensive weapons and offensive weapons. The weapons we have are not natural, but spiritual. “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” (2Corinthians 10:4)
Defensively – He has given us the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18) Always wear your spiritual armor to stop the giants in your life from causing any damage.
Offensively – He has given us His Word, His Name, and the Holy Spirit. Use your offensive weapons to eliminate the giants in your life. Use the Word of God, speak to your mountains and command them to get out of the way. Use the name of Jesus. His name is above every other name. There is power in that name. You have the power of the Holy Spirit in you to help you and guide you. “It is not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit” (Zechariah 4:4)
So, don’t just sit there and do nothing and allow the enemy to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) your life. Use the weapons God has given you. Too often we are waiting for God or someone else to defeat our giants. God will work with us, but we have to use what God has given us. David had to pick up the stone and use the sling shot in order to defeat Goliath, but when David used his weapons God put His anointing on that stone and it became a guided missile that took down the giant.
You Can Defeat Your Giants
His Word says you can do all things through Christ Who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13). That includes defeating your giants! Mark 11:23 assures us that whatever we ask for in faith we have it including telling our mountains, our giants, to get out of the way. When you see things from God’s perspective and put your weapons into action you can defeat the giants in your life every time!
