You can defeat the giant of your life (Part 10)
Verse of the day: 1 Samuel 17: 51 " Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled"
After killing him, David took Goliath's sword and cut off his head. The sword is the Word of God if it is in the hands of a child of God (Eph 6: 17) but the devil also knows how to fight us using the same Word of God (Luke 4: 9-10).
If we do not keep the sword (God's Word) in our hands, the enemy will use it against us. Immediately after the killing, David took Goliath's sword to cut off his head. Beware of a giant (problem) that simply die because some pretend to die or just faint. The sword (Word of God) should not only help us to kill the giant, but we also need to cut off his head. Whenever you confess the biblical promises in faith in prayer, you are in the process of stabbing a giant and everything will depend on your attitude and your faith. The Bible clearly says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds (2 Cor 10: 4).
The best way to scare away the devil is to submit to God according to James 4: 7: “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you ". Submission gives space to God's hand while pride opens the door to the devil. The more we humble ourselves, the stronger we become spiritually. Having knowledge of this very effective formula, the devil tries every means to spread pride in our hearts. It is for this reason that many servants of God are slaves of pride even if they stay at the Lord's work. Despite the pride, a servant of God can continue to preach, to work miracles as if nothing had happened but in reality he is very weak and vulnerable and spiritually shameful things are usually done behind the curtain but God covers him for a while because of his elect.
Also in the verse of the day (1 Sam 17: 51), it is said that after the death of Goliath who was the hero of the Philistines, they preferred to flee.
Here is how things work in the spiritual world: Behind every giant problem, there is a multitude of demons that rely on him and if you manage to kill him and cut his head in prayer and faith, all those little demons will flee.
