You can defeat the giant of your life (Part 12)
Verse of the day: 1 Samuel 20: 1 "Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"
Today we close this teaching that comes to last two weeks and I hope that all who have read early have discovered some things hidden by the enemy in order to harm us but the great promise of Jesus for us is that "Nothing can harm us" (Luke 10: 19).
As I said in the previous part, the real enemy of David was not Goliath because a real problem cannot disappear in minutes. Saul the king of Israel was his real problem, and the verse of the day shows us how much he was confused because of the many attacks on his own life. Apparently David understood nothing because he asked Jonathan: "What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"
Likewise, giant problems that are constantly before us are not our real problems. Our biggest enemy is the one who can separate us from God's presence forever which means sin and it dwells in our flesh. Therefore, my conclusion is that my biggest enemy is the flesh unlike those who say that it is Satan. Satan uses the flesh to manipulate us and acts on the basis of what is in our flesh. He will not make you fall into adultery if he does not find it in your flesh. There are some sins that are already crucified and when the devil comes, he does not find them. Regarding the flesh and its passions, the Bible says: "And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires" (Galatians 5: 24).
Unfortunately, to crucify the flesh with its passions and desires does not happen in minutes, as it was the case of David and Goliath, but we must wait and constantly fight for years, the time that the vices and weaknesses die one by one. This is why I call the flesh the true giant that needs to be crucified every day.
Here is the end of this teaching but I must warn you that believing is not enough because the weapon that destroys and breakdown the giants in the world is nothing other than PRAYER and by that I mean: Constant prayer.
This only works for those who are born again. If you are not born again or if you do not understand the meaning of being born again, write to me.
God bless you all
