Show Notes

"This is the Lord's battle, and he will
give you to us!" 1Sa 17:47 NLT

To defeat giants like addiction, resentment,
fear, lust, pride, envy, or anger, you must
understand these three Scriptures: (1) "The
temptations in your life are no different
from what others experience" (1Co 10:13
NLT). Goliath was born a baby, but he grew
into a giant. Our giants are often little sins
we overlooked and indulged until they
assumed a life of their own and came back
to haunt us. So as you begin to say no to
small impulses, you will gain the strength to
say it to bigger ones. (2) "As Goliath moved
closer to attack, David quickly ran..to meet
him" (1Sa 17:48 NLT). David faced Goliath
head-on. You must force your giant out into
the light, and not let him back into your life.
Establish boundaries! And if necessary,
make yourself accountable to someone
who can strengthen and encourage you.
Stay out of the wrong company. And above
all, don't view God in the light of your
problem, view your problem in the light of
God. (3) "This is the Lord's battle, and he
will give you to us!" You're not in this fight
alone. God wants to help you to overcome
old habits and establish new behaviors. His
will for you is "to live in a way that is worthy
of the people God has chosen to be his
own" (Eph 4:1 CEV). When you repent,
which means to do an about-face, turn, and
resolve to walk with God, He will give you
the strength to conquer the giant you're
facing. God has never lost a battle yet, and
when you invite Him to join you, you will
win.
You must force your giant out into the
light, and not let him back into your life.
