Conquering your Giants

The giants in your life (those things that seem insurmountable) are only there to bring glory to God. Their end result will be strength for you… if you believe.

What are giants? A giant is something you don’t have the resources needed to meet or overcome the situation.
· David didn’t have the physical strength to conquer Goliath (1Sam 17:33).
· Sarah (Abraham’s wife) didn’t have the ability to bring forth children (Gen 18:11).
· The children of Israel didn’t have the man power to overcome the Amalekites, the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites (num 13:20). And if that weren’t enough the children of Anak lived in the land God had promised to them… literal giants! (num13:33)

What giant are you facing right now? Is it bills due that you don’t have the resources to pay? Is it sickness your body doesn’t have the resources to heal? Is it a relationship you don’t have the answers to fix? Whatever it is God wants to show Himself more than enough to handle your giant. Look at what He tells the children of Israel.
Deu 11:23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves.

Your heavenly Father likes a good fight!
Psa 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

The Lord your God loves to “show off” on your behalf!
2Ch 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (loyal = to trust His word)

He enjoys it when you place your total trust in His ability, He’s wants the Glory!
Jdg 7:2 And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'

What is God’s instruction to us concerning the insurmountable things in our lives?
Mar 11:22-23 "Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
Do you have God’s promise concerning the situation you’re faced with? Did He say He would deliver you? Didn’t He tell you…
-Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done (Phi 4:6).
-God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble (Psa 46:1).
-Come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most (Heb 4:16).

Now know this... To see God’s deliverance you must know what He promised you.
Is it children you and your spouse desire? (see Ex 23:26, Is 66:9, Deut 28:4).
Deliverance for a child in trouble? (Is 49:25, Is 54:13)
Employment? (Eph 2:10, Ecc 3:13)
Healing? (Ps 103:2-3, Is 53:5, 1Pet 2:24)

There are over 3000 promises given to you from God that cover every situation in life. Search out His promise to you and then stand. Don’t cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of patience, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: (Heb 10:36-37)

Finally,
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Jos 1:9)

Let me know if this has blessed ya
