00:05:28.99\00:05:35.23
I preach prefer these
presentations the time in which
we're living. It's so
00:05:35.23\00:05:39.80
crucial that we understand God's
will imminent. Well, a lot our
message tonight, as I
00:05:39.80\00:05:45.44
mentioned, is giant faith. I
thought I'd start with a little
amazing fact yung Jake
00:05:45.44\00:05:53.45
Oliver was walking through a
park in England one day. 12
years old when he was accosted
00:05:53.45\00:05:58.89
by a mugger. And he said, give
me your phone while he was
reluctant to give away his
00:05:58.89\00:06:06.23
phone because he had worked
hard and saved money to buy his
00:06:06.23\00:06:10.37
phone. His parents insisted that
he, by himself. And so when he
refused the man who is at least
00:06:10.37\00:06:15.94
a foot taller. Swung it. Jake.
Well, Jake the swing. And then
he gave him a very swift punch
00:06:15.94\00:06:25.71
in the nose, broke his nose.
Blood went everywhere and the
attacker fled. What he didn't
00:06:25.71\00:06:30.72
know was Jake, the 12 years old
was the world karate in kicked
Boxing champion. And he had just
00:06:30.72\00:06:39.63
picked the wrong young man Rob a
phone from. We always love those
stories about how the
00:06:39.63\00:06:46.17
little guy wins over the giant.
You know, the Bible tells us
00:06:46.17\00:06:53.14
about Giants very early in the
book of Genesis. You've got your
rivals. You can look in Genesis
00:06:53.14\00:06:57.35
6 for a lot of people struggle
with this. It says there were
giants on the earth in those
00:06:57.35\00:07:03.62
days and also afterward, when
the sons of God came into the
daughters of men and they bore
00:07:03.62\00:07:10.29
them children. These were my
team in poor old man of renown.
I've heard some really
00:07:10.29\00:07:15.90
crazy theories about this when
they say the sons of God, Mary,
the daughters of men,
00:07:15.90\00:07:20.90
some think that these were
fallen angels. Are aliens and
they have these bizarre
00:07:20.90\00:07:27.08
children, no friends, not at
all. You see there are 2 classes
back then the children
00:07:27.08\00:07:33.92
of Seth who are faithful to God
and still worship. God called
the Sons of God. The
00:07:33.92\00:07:38.12
Bible says in John Chapter 3,
what don't you know what manner
of love the father's
00:07:38.12\00:07:42.96
bestowed upon us that we should
be called Friends of God. And so
00:07:42.96\00:07:47.56
those faithful to God began to
intermarry with the daughters of
Keene, the Sons of Men, the
00:07:47.56\00:07:53.07
Bible taught to believe not even
married with hon Unbelievers
because then you get the wrong
00:07:53.07\00:07:55.87
influence. And so why would the
children giants? It's called
genetic vitality. Do
00:07:55.87\00:08:04.41
you know what a liger is? A
liger? I think I got a picture
on the screen. Their Lakers,
00:08:04.41\00:08:11.59
the biggest cat in the world is
a cross between a lion and the
Tiger. And the largest
00:08:11.59\00:08:19.23
mail in modern times that
they've recorded was 12 feet
long and 800 pounds. It's
00:08:19.23\00:08:24.33
called genetic vitality, often
get gigantic offspring when the
children of Cain had been
00:08:24.33\00:08:29.84
separated for many generations
from the children of set. But
when they enter married, there
00:08:29.84\00:08:34.04
is that additional vitality and
they were giants. What you see
this even in the Bible,
00:08:34.04\00:08:37.88
you look even after the flood
Deuteronomy 3.11. For only OG
King of Nation remained at the
00:08:37.88\00:08:44.72
remnants of the Giants. Indeed
his bedstead with an iron
Bedstead 9 cubits in length 4
00:08:44.72\00:08:54.46
cubits and with 13.5 feet law.
Little slide on the screen. The
first talk character you
00:08:54.46\00:09:01.30
see there that would be aug the
king of beige and the next one
is go. I F he was 9 and a
00:09:01.30\00:09:07.74
half feet over 13 got 11 feet.
And so I'm going like I'm
getting my cubits my feet
00:09:07.74\00:09:15.98
mixed up. Sorry, 11 feet. Once
you're that big. What difference
00:09:15.98\00:09:20.99
does it make? And then Yeah. If
you read history, you remember
when Magellan went through
00:09:20.99\00:09:30.03
they'll go. They stopped in
Patagonia. And the sailors all
say there were people there that
00:09:30.03\00:09:36.00
were giants and actually capture
one. The city was one man that
was 10 feet tall. That's not
00:09:36.00\00:09:39.61
this one captain. But the crew
swears by it. And that's, by the
way, Patagonia means
00:09:39.61\00:09:43.61
Bigfoot. And that's where it is.
A land gets its name. They had
Giants. Karen and I went
00:09:43.61\00:09:48.88
on a diving trip. In Australia
and there was a friend from
Chicago there. There's not a
00:09:48.88\00:09:54.92
very clear picture, but that's
Eric He used to play with the
Chicago Bulls had a car
00:09:54.92\00:10:01.33
accident. He was injured. He can
continue to play with them. He
was he's a Polish J**
00:10:01.33\00:10:04.90
in the world. He's happy to tell
you. 7 foot, 4 inches. and
that's me. And he's not
00:10:04.90\00:10:11.94
even standing up straight there.
Karen took this picture, that's
00:10:11.94\00:10:17.95
in modern times. And he's not
the tallest person in the world.
So there really were giants.
00:10:17.95\00:10:22.32
You still are. But Bible tells a
story where once God's people
were intimidated by the
00:10:22.32\00:10:29.29
Giants. Some of, you know,
American history. And one of the
greatest land purchases in
00:10:29.29\00:10:36.16
history was what they call the
Louisiana purchase. When Thomas
Jefferson, the Pulley
00:10:36.16\00:10:41.54
needed money for his wars,
Jefferson. So let's by all the
territory from the, you the
00:10:41.54\00:10:48.64
Missouri River westward. And
they brought this incredible
swath of land that went from
00:10:48.64\00:10:55.75
St. Louis all the way up to
Oregon. Chris, the Spanish
dispute that. But that's how
00:10:55.75\00:10:59.82
far we thought it went. And up.
They thought of me. So we're not
00:10:59.82\00:11:07.46
sure what we want. Because it
was almost no expiration that
had gone west of the
00:11:07.46\00:11:13.34
Mississippi. So they got
together this team of Lewis and
Clark and they're about 40 for
00:11:13.34\00:11:18.14
men that were carefully
handpicked and they sent them.
And they said Jefferson was also
00:11:18.14\00:11:23.11
a finding consistent, get
samples of the plants and the
animals. And tell us about that
00:11:23.11\00:11:27.08
young graphene sheet. You can
find a water route to the
Pacific. course, he ran into the
00:11:27.08\00:11:31.62
Rockies. There was no water out.
But after between 18 o 3, D 18 o
6. 8,000 miles and they
00:11:31.62\00:11:42.76
lost one man, 2 appendicitis
with an incredible story. You
know, we're Jefferson got the
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.77
idea. From the Bible. He
remembered in the Bible that
when Joshua brought the
00:11:46.77\00:11:56.41
children of Israel killed or
to the promised the promise in
00:11:56.41\00:12:18.40
years you can go to Washington
and the wind died. The He should
bring back some fruit of the
00:14:14.65\00:14:26.96
land. It was a season of first
riper grapes. This is happening
now in the fall. So they went up
00:14:26.96\00:14:33.60
and they spy out the land from
the wilderness in. As far as we
have near the entrance of
00:14:33.60\00:14:37.37
hamath and they went through the
South may came to him Bron.
That's where Abraham is
00:14:37.37\00:14:40.64
now buried. And they want and a
just shy and town. My
descendants of neck. Who is a
00:14:40.64\00:14:47.52
giant? Were there? And heaven
was built 7 years before and
Egypt that they came to the
00:14:47.52\00:14:55.42
valley that's called other up
north. And there they cut down a
branch with one cluster of
00:14:55.42\00:14:59.63
grapes. And they carried it
between the 2 of them on a pole.
00:14:59.63\00:15:06.50
Can you imagine a cluster of
grapes is so big. It takes 2 men
to carry it. If you go to Israel
00:15:06.50\00:15:11.71
today, they've got a logo for
the tourism industry in the logo
is 2 men carrying one cluster
00:15:11.71\00:15:18.38
of grapes in honor of these
first tourists that went through
the land. Right away.
00:15:18.38\00:15:25.49
There's a difference between 10
of the spies and 2 of them. When
they first crossed the
00:15:25.49\00:15:31.63
Jordan. One of them says how the
world that we can ever get a
million people across this
00:15:31.63\00:15:38.20
river. Well, we found that out
last night, right? But he didn't
know. So he created
00:15:38.20\00:15:44.71
some doubts. Then they came
within the view of Jericho and
they said, how are we ever
00:15:44.71\00:15:50.61
going to Congress city fortified
like that? But the walls are
massive. Historians
00:15:50.61\00:15:57.02
say they got right, Sherry, it's
around the top of the walls of
Jericho. And then we
00:15:57.02\00:16:02.79
went up into the foothills of
Hebron where the and I can live.
The Giants. And they
00:16:02.79\00:16:06.76
said they're so big. How are we
ever going to conquer them? Now?
The attitude of Joshua
00:16:06.76\00:16:16.00
Caleb was completely different
from the other 10. They saw the
Jordan River and the said,
00:16:16.00\00:16:19.77
oh, look at this. You can throw
a rock across it. And after the
00:16:19.77\00:16:24.15
ferry across the river, this is
a look at look at the Springs
for Jericho. Look at the palm
00:16:24.15\00:16:28.45
trees. Look at the dates. They
got up to the mountains with the
Giants lives around Hebron. And
00:16:28.45\00:16:36.93
Caleb said, wow, look at the
soil. Look how green and verdant
everything is. There's honey
00:16:36.93\00:16:41.53
dripping from the trees and, you
know, the bible calls it a land
flowing with milk and
00:16:41.53\00:16:45.73
honey, and that was literal. You
can read about a story in the
Bible. Will Jonathan is in
00:16:45.73\00:16:52.27
a battle and he's going through
the woods. The hungry and he
sticks his spear into a
00:16:52.27\00:16:57.68
puddle of honey on the ground.
Remember reading it? Flowing
with honey? I guess there was
00:16:57.68\00:17:04.35
so much vegetation and flowers
in clover that the goats and
cows there are. Others would
00:17:04.35\00:17:08.79
squirt as they walked because
milk and honey, we use them have
go to you don't look at
00:17:08.79\00:17:15.10
one time. They'll move
themselves will start anyway.
And so it was a Richland.
00:17:15.10\00:17:18.57
Caleb said. I want this land.
Look at the springs in the
southern exposure. And as
00:17:18.57\00:17:25.01
we're going through the land, 10
of them keep focusing on the
problems. Joshua and Caleb
00:17:25.01\00:17:33.65
Focus on the promises. And
Joshua and Caleb are saying, oh,
look at these lows. You'll
00:17:33.65\00:17:39.82
note, Apollo Like a massive
grape root beer there in the
Middle East of tremendous. But
00:17:39.82\00:17:45.63
they're different. And then the
pomegranate the grapes and that
the figures and got the
00:17:45.63\00:17:51.87
dates and and Joshua killed. I
can just picture guys got to see
this led to some of these
00:17:51.87\00:17:56.40
dates. I think it's sticky dates
in their pockets and then they
00:17:56.40\00:18:00.88
this all to these figs and they
got to get a neat. If you get
takes them back in. When they
00:18:00.88\00:18:06.35
saw the greatest. We've got to
show them a cluster of great
significance to it. You heavy
00:18:06.35\00:18:08.32
that's going to be. Well, carry
it together. And 2 of them, I
think it was Joshua
00:18:08.32\00:18:15.42
Caleb carrying the greats. so
excited. They couldn't wait to
tell everybody. But Joshua
00:18:15.42\00:18:22.43
killed were also worried that
the negative attitudes of these
other men were going
00:18:22.43\00:18:26.60
poison the mines and create fear
in doubt in the heart of the
others. So after circling
00:18:26.60\00:18:34.18
through the land. It says when
they had spine of the land. They
came to the people first.
00:18:34.18\00:18:42.18
23. They got that cluster of
grapes. And it says under 25 the
return from spying, the
00:18:42.18\00:18:50.23
land after 40 days, how many
days? That plays into history.
And departed and came back to
00:18:50.23\00:18:56.73
Moses. And Aaron in the
Congregation of the Children of
Israel in the Wilderness, a
00:18:56.73\00:19:00.80
parent by Kadish. Let's keep and
they brought back word to them
all the congregation,
00:19:00.80\00:19:08.51
someone you're watching from the
congregation. They didn't know
when they're going to
00:19:08.51\00:19:12.48
come back. You know, when Lewis
and Clark showed up 3 years
later, everyone had
00:19:12.48\00:19:15.05
written them off as dead because
they did not know how wide North
00:19:15.05\00:19:20.56
America was. The head
miscalculated. How wide the
country And when they didn't
00:19:20.56\00:19:25.56
come back after the second year,
the in job. And there are such
celebration when they finally
00:19:25.56\00:19:32.10
came back. So when someone is
looking through their
binoculars. These to take a
00:19:32.10\00:19:37.04
piece of bamboo and look through
it. No, they're looking and they
see on the horizon, 12 men
00:19:37.04\00:19:42.18
coming and the whole
congregation comes together in a
bowl. The Trump and said
00:19:42.18\00:19:45.08
they're back. They're back and
everyone wants to hear word
about the promised land and it
00:19:45.08\00:19:49.65
says it looks like 2 of them are
running out in front carrying
00:19:49.65\00:19:54.46
something. I think Joshua and
Caleb wanted to get their first
to try to set a positive note.
00:19:54.46\00:19:59.16
And they come back listen to the
report. And they brought back
word to them and all the
00:19:59.16\00:20:07.37
congregation and showed them the
fruit of the land. I think
Joshua and Caleb had a cloud of
00:20:07.37\00:20:09.47
fruit flies following them. And
they told them they said we went
to the land where you send us
00:20:09.47\00:20:15.64
and truly it flows with milk and
honey. And this is the fruit and
they're tossing grapes.
00:20:15.64\00:20:20.98
The people to duck here comes a
grape your big rates. And
they're throwing the figs and
00:20:20.98\00:20:24.85
the pomegranate son and it's
going to move in But then the
other 10 guys caught up. And
00:20:24.85\00:20:32.46
they gave the minority report,
not the majority report. The
more minority report is very
00:20:32.46\00:20:37.10
positive. But here's the
majority report. Nevertheless,
the people who dwell in the
00:20:37.10\00:20:42.27
land are strong. And the cities
are fortified in very large.
Moreover, we saw the
00:20:42.27\00:20:48.94
descendants of the in air and
Ali kites dwell in the land of
the south in the hit heights
00:20:48.94\00:20:56.05
and the Jebusite and the
Emirates and the termites in the
00:20:56.05\00:20:59.92
gigabytes of the candidates. >>
And they do well by the sea and
along the banks of the
00:20:59.92\00:21:03.06
Jordan. And everybody is hearing
this dollars negative
information that they're
00:21:03.06\00:21:08.33
getting in >> what are we going
to do? You know, we don't want
00:21:08.33\00:21:14.44
to go back to the wilderness and
we don't want to go back to
Egypt, the sleighs and then we
00:21:14.44\00:21:17.84
can into the promised land. >>
It's amazing. How in 5 minutes.
You can lose. I'm a
00:21:17.84\00:21:30.02
massive the experience of
victory in faith. If you listen
00:21:30.02\00:21:31.92
to the devil for 5 minutes. How
could they so quickly forget?
How they got there to the
00:21:31.92\00:21:37.99
borders of the Jordan. >> All
the plagues hailed upon the
heads of the Egyptians,
00:21:37.99\00:21:45.13
the set them Free 10 mighty
plagues. The fire in the hail
and the darkness and the Frogs
00:21:45.13\00:21:54.31
and the lyceum many parts of the
sea. That is a plague on the for
the first born during
00:21:54.31\00:21:59.18
the Passover. Then they get
hungry, give them bread from
heaven. Give them water from
00:21:59.18\00:22:03.82
Iraq. The year the voice of God
talking to them from the
mountain. What nations that
00:22:03.82\00:22:09.16
are heard, God speak to them.
They see the pillar of God's
presence right there before
00:22:09.16\00:22:14.63
them. And then they got the
audacity to listen to a little
negative report that says I
00:22:14.63\00:22:21.84
don't how we're going to ever
get in the promised land. What
was the promise land called
00:22:21.84\00:22:25.37
the Promised Land. Because God
promised to bring him in. But
instead of listening to that
00:22:25.37\00:22:33.58
promise of God, they started
listening to the negative
questioning report. Of these
00:22:33.58\00:22:36.45
messengers. Who, by the way,
we're all church members. Is not
right. They were always
00:22:36.45\00:22:45.79
writes, they went to the same
churches, Joshua and Caleb. We
just read the Bible says they
00:22:45.79\00:22:50.40
were leaders. Listen, we can
make This is where I'm going
with this. And I'm going to
00:22:50.40\00:23:01.28
try and reiterated through a few
different stories. God, his said
that he can save you
00:23:01.28\00:23:07.22
if you will be saved. The devil
doesn't want you to believe it,
00:23:07.22\00:23:14.32
Chris. The devil is the one who
told Leave. Trust me. Don't
trust God, eat the forbidden
00:23:14.32\00:23:16.76
fruit and how to that end. When
we don't leave the word of God
and God can do for us what he
00:23:16.76\00:23:23.23
says he can do for meant. But,
you you can have people say I
may be others, but not me. And
00:23:23.23\00:23:29.50
maybe there's a few elected
people he's going to say, but
maybe I'm not one of the elect
00:23:29.50\00:23:34.31
and everybody begins to question
and wonder if it's possible for
them to make it. When you
00:23:34.31\00:23:39.85
pay for something. Do you hope
to be able to take it home? If I
go to the store and I buy
00:23:39.85\00:23:45.59
something, I do my best. Not to
leave it at the cashier's desk.
I tried to take it home.
00:23:45.59\00:23:50.26
I have forgotten, but I always
go I remember buying something
leave it there realizing the
00:23:50.26\00:23:59.23
next day left. I went back and I
talked him out of it. And they
got here is good that you
00:23:59.23\00:24:08.64
What God has sent his son. And
paid for all of your sins. And
suffer like he did if it was
00:24:08.64\00:24:17.39
not possible for you to be safe.
So the question is, who do you
believe? You've got to
00:24:17.39\00:24:25.56
reports here? I'm not done yet
keep reading after they get this
negative report, the M
00:24:25.56\00:24:31.67
rights to all of the mountains
and the canaanite well by the
sea and along the banks of the
00:24:31.67\00:24:35.17
Jordan Verse 30 as everyone
began to murmur and why Wayne
whine and cry. He jumps on the
00:24:35.17\00:24:43.18
Rock River. can see minutes that
he quieted the people. Why did
you have to quiet the
00:24:43.18\00:24:46.92
people because they were all
moaning and making a lot of
noise. He quieted the people.
00:24:46.92\00:24:51.15
He was one of the spies before
Moses and he said, let us go up
ad once and take possession
00:24:51.15\00:25:02.20
for we are will able to overcome
it. But the man who had gone up
00:25:02.20\00:25:09.27
with him, meaning the other 10.
They said we're not able to go
up against the people for they
00:25:09.27\00:25:15.74
are stronger than we. And they
gave the children of Israel a
bad or evil report of the land
00:25:15.74\00:25:22.25
that they had spied out sane the
land through which we had gone
as spies is a land that
00:25:22.25\00:25:28.59
devours. Now the land is eating
people up. They kept making it
00:25:28.59\00:25:31.59
worse and worse. It's not just
the Giants in the cities, the
lid and leave them up. The land
00:25:31.59\00:25:37.53
is a land that will eat up all
the people and the men. We saw a
man of great stature. They
00:25:37.53\00:25:43.04
were the Giants, the descendants
of a knack, the cam from the
00:25:43.04\00:25:46.71
Giants. And we feel like
grasshoppers in our own site. >>
So now they're doing some
00:25:46.71\00:25:50.68
things called Grasshopper
thinking. >> They kept looking
00:25:50.68\00:25:55.98
at how big the problem was and
they did not consider how big
the promises. The devil wants us
00:25:55.98\00:26:02.26
to think like Grasshoppers, God
wants us to think in big ways we
serve a big God can
00:26:02.26\00:26:09.63
use Amen. You know that you and
God are always a majority. If
you've got God on your
00:26:09.63\00:26:17.54
side, all things are possible.
That's why Jesus when the
disciples got stay scared in
00:26:17.54\00:26:23.75
the storm, they will commission.
Why were you afraid? I'm with
00:26:23.75\00:26:27.62
you. You think I'm gonna go
down? You know, if you get with
you, your ship is an unthinkable
00:26:27.62\00:26:32.92
shipped. You don't have to be
afraid. God was with them. Why
have they last beat? Now? I
00:26:32.92\00:26:42.36
got to be careful how I say
this, but I want tell you the
truth. So here you've got.
00:26:42.36\00:26:46.63
These are all Israelites. You've
got 10 of them saying we are not
00:26:46.63\00:26:52.47
able to make it. Because the
enemy is bigger than we are. And
you get to them that are saying
00:26:52.47\00:26:57.61
we are able. To overcome. Jesus
says in revelation, chapter 2 in
3, 7, times to him that
00:26:57.61\00:27:07.02
overcomes to him. That overcomes
to him, that overcomes to him,
that overcomes to him that
00:27:07.02\00:27:11.03
overcomes and counting to him.
That overcomes. >> The handover
00:27:11.03\00:27:15.46
comes. Now DeJesus. Make it
clear it's possible to overcome.
Why would Jesus say I've got all
00:27:15.46\00:27:21.97
these promises for those that
overcome if it was not possible
for you to overcome.
00:27:21.97\00:27:27.78
Anything, God ask you to do. He
will empower you to do. If God
says this is the promise
00:27:27.78\00:27:32.91
land. I want you to go take it.
They don't say I don't think we
can because of God's
00:27:32.91\00:27:38.69
telling to do it. You know, you
can do it. Because as positive
God before us who can
00:27:38.69\00:27:44.03
be against us. The Bible
promises greater. Is he that is
in you than he? That is in
00:27:44.03\00:27:50.20
the world. So are we talking
about Giants dud?
Metaphorically, the giant that
00:27:50.20\00:27:56.57
you and I grapple with. Is about
the devil and send in particular
00:27:56.57\00:28:05.58
in our lives. Thinking how can I
be in overcoming? How can I
change? I keep making the same
00:28:05.58\00:28:12.55
mistake I fall again and again
in the same area and I feel so
weak and then I hear Pastor
00:28:12.55\00:28:17.99
stand up and they spend all
their sermon time talking about
Greece, which I believe in
00:28:17.99\00:28:21.63
God's forgiveness and grace. You
heard that event. But they don't
00:28:21.63\00:28:25.93
spend enough time talking about
courage in victory. That you can
change. But the power of God can
00:28:25.93\00:28:32.24
make the alcoholic sober. The
power of God can free the attic
from drugs. Or pornography or
00:28:32.24\00:28:42.25
pride, whatever the problems
are, God can save you from your
00:28:42.25\00:28:45.99
since. I have no patience. When
I hear pastors and other
religious leaders just talking
00:28:45.99\00:28:51.49
about God saving is with our
sins because the way I read my
Bible, the Angel told Mary,
00:28:51.49\00:28:57.83
you'll call his name Jesus for.
He will save his people from
their sense. When I came to
00:28:57.83\00:29:02.54
Jesus, my problem was in.
smoking and using drugs cursing
and living immorally in all the
00:29:02.54\00:29:13.68
sins and bad vocabulary. And God
little by little. He convicted
me didn't change all at once.
00:29:13.68\00:29:23.66
But he convicted me and I just
praise him because I kept seeing
how he was transforming
00:29:23.66\00:29:27.03
me. He gives you a new heart
things that was old. Things are
passed away. All things
00:29:27.03\00:29:33.94
are made new. Behold, you're a
new creature. You are born
again. So the idea that you
00:29:33.94\00:29:37.94
cannot have victory over
Sen isn't biblical. >> I'm not
00:29:37.94\00:29:42.54
teaching perfectionism help
folks understand that. I'm not
saying that we turn into some
00:29:42.54\00:29:46.68
kind of sterile, stainless steel
robot. You're going to be you.
But you can be holy.
00:29:46.68\00:29:53.69
Because the Bible says without
holding the snowman will see the
Lord. Blessed are the pure
00:29:53.69\00:29:58.43
in heart. Comments appear fine.
Your heart. How many of you want
00:29:58.43\00:30:05.77
that blessing? Blessed are the
pure in heart. They will see
gone. And so it is possible for
00:30:05.77\00:30:11.34
you to conquer the Giants. You
can into the promised land. I
believe Kayla. It. I do not
00:30:11.34\00:30:18.78
believe the other 10, even
though they may be in the
majority. Most is the one who
00:30:18.78\00:30:23.79
said do not follow a majority to
do evil. It's often the crowd
that does the wrong thing. So
00:30:23.79\00:30:30.96
let us go up. We are well able
to take it. And the people said,
no, we can't do it. And so all
00:30:30.96\00:30:38.27
of chapter, 14 of numbers, all
the congregation lift up their
voices in crime. And the
00:30:38.27\00:30:42.44
people with that night and all
the children of Israel complaint
00:30:42.44\00:30:48.04
against Moses and Aaron, begin
to see only we had died in the
land of Egypt or if only we had
00:30:48.04\00:30:54.78
died in this wilderness. Why did
the Lord bring us out? Be
careful what you pray. Why the
00:30:54.78\00:30:59.75
Lord bring us into this land to
fall by the Ford. For this and
let's elect another leader and
00:30:59.75\00:31:04.83
go back to Egypt. Can you
imagine the people wanting to go
back to the slavery of Egypt?
00:31:04.83\00:31:11.77
And yet I meet people in the
church to say I want I want to
see him a Christian, but I
00:31:11.77\00:31:15.20
want to go back to the slavery
of the devil and Sen. Jesus
wants to save you from your
00:31:15.20\00:31:21.68
sins. He wants due be set free.
He wants you to enjoy the peace
00:31:21.68\00:31:29.02
and security. Of holiness that
he's offering. Well, you know,
it ended up happening. A plague
00:31:29.02\00:31:35.89
broke out among the people and
those men who just gave a
negative report died in that
00:31:35.89\00:31:41.30
plague. And God says because you
did not believe me and you have
been testing all the sign.
00:31:41.30\00:31:44.63
After all, I did to save you.
I'm paraphrasing now. He says
for every day those spies
00:31:44.63\00:31:50.67
looked at the promise land 40
days. You're not going to wonder
for 40 years until that
00:31:50.67\00:31:55.78
whole generation dies off. I
will bring your children that
you said would never make it.
00:31:55.78\00:31:59.88
I will bring them into the
promised land. And that's what
happened. The only 2 people,
00:31:59.88\00:32:05.69
20 years old and older than 20
that made it into the promised
land where Joshua and Caleb.
00:32:05.69\00:32:12.26
Very interesting demographics
when they finally crossed over.
That means there are
00:32:12.26\00:32:15.66
only 2 people over 40 years of
age, no say over 60. Only 2
people over 60 out of
00:32:15.66\00:32:22.64
2 Million. They all died off
because of what? Says. And he
11. Those that generation did
00:32:22.64\00:32:31.25
not enter in because of
Unbelief. Friends of the message
is a message of faith.
00:32:31.25\00:32:39.45
All things are possible to him.
The believes. And Jesus said be
it unto you according
00:32:39.45\00:32:44.73
to your faith. If you believe.
He can do anything, people came
to Jesus and they said
00:32:44.73\00:32:51.03
Lord. Yeah, I believe you can
hear my servant in and you don't
even need to go. And he
00:32:51.03\00:32:58.74
I've not seen faith like this in
all of Israel because you
believe it. I'm not going to
00:32:58.74\00:33:01.38
your servant field. A lady came
to Jesus and my daughters demon
possessed, speak the
00:33:01.38\00:33:08.82
word and she'll be healed. He
said because your faith, your
daughter as well. And then a
00:33:08.82\00:33:13.49
man brought his son to Jesus and
said, Lord, if you can do
anything, she said I that's a
00:33:13.49\00:33:15.82
dirty word for me. The 2 letter
word. You can believe all things
are possible. There
00:33:15.82\00:33:25.47
are 2 thieves in the cross is
next to Jesus. One of them for
the Lord. Remember me when you
00:33:25.47\00:33:31.54
come into your kingdom, he
said Lord, you've got a kingdom.
00:33:31.54\00:33:35.04
Remember me said you'll be with
me in Paradise. The other one
said if you are the Christ, Save
00:33:35.04\00:33:40.62
yourself in us. He was not
saved. The devil came to Jesus
in the wilderness and city. If
00:33:40.62\00:33:48.52
you're the son of got right
away, that De Jesus knew that
was it was a devil. He's always
00:33:48.52\00:33:55.36
casting doubt. >> Has got
said you're not supposed to eat.
00:33:55.36\00:33:59.00
>> We're treating question and
doubt about the word of God. We
need to believe friends,
00:33:59.00\00:34:04.11
all things are possible. There's
an incredible power of faith
that God's offering us.
00:34:04.11\00:34:07.74
Now. I want you to jump ahead to
the book of Joshua. Joshua
chapter 14. We're fast
00:34:07.74\00:34:13.28
forwarding 40 years. This is now
are jumping over where we read
yesterday after Josh,
00:34:13.28\00:34:20.76
when the children this will get
into the promised land. They're
conquering the taking
00:34:20.76\00:34:23.36
possession of the promised land.
Caleb comes to his old buddy,
Joshua. Since then, the
00:34:23.36\00:34:29.40
children of Judah came to Joshua
in guilt. Gal and Caleb, the son
00:34:29.40\00:34:33.90
of Japhanie. The keen Insight
said to him. You know, the word
the Lord spoke to Moses, the man
00:34:33.90\00:34:39.71
of God can Sunni concerning you
and me in Kadesh-barnea. I was
40 years old when Moses, the
00:34:39.71\00:34:45.48
Servant of the Lord sent me from
caters Barney to spy out the
land. And I brought back
00:34:45.48\00:34:48.55
word to him as was in my heart.
Nevertheless, my brother who
00:34:48.55\00:34:52.95
went up with me, they made the
heart of the people milk. But I
wholly followed the Lord, my
00:34:52.95\00:35:00.30
God. So Moses more to me that
the scene surely the land on
which your foot has trodden.
00:35:00.30\00:35:03.73
Shelby, your inheritance and
your children's for ever because
you wholly followed the Lord.
00:35:03.73\00:35:08.50
I mean, he believed gun. And now
behold, the Lord is kept me
alive as he said, these 45
00:35:08.50\00:35:16.18
years ever since the Lord spoke
this word to Moses while Israel
00:35:16.18\00:35:20.12
wandered in the wilderness. And
now here I am this day, 85 years
old was into this friends and
00:35:20.12\00:35:26.55
yet I am a strong this day is on
the day that Moses sent me just
as my strength was then. So is
00:35:26.55\00:35:32.76
my strength. Now, would you like
to feel the same at? 85 is 40.
Both for this has got to go up
00:35:32.76\00:35:39.50
to war. But for war for going up
for coming in. And I love this
00:35:39.50\00:35:45.71
first. Well, now, therefore,
give me this mountain. You know,
he's doing he's pointing up to
00:35:45.71\00:35:49.31
the mountains of Hebron with the
Anna come lived. And Kayla the
scene. Give me this mountain
00:35:49.31\00:35:53.88
that mountain with giants and I
will conquer it. I want that is
God. The Giants took the
00:35:53.88\00:35:59.32
best part. You know. Because
you're big. Should give me the
mountain. I will cast of the
00:35:59.32\00:36:05.03
Giants. I will conquer them. I
believe that God will be with
me. What courage. Some of you
00:36:05.03\00:36:13.97
out a pretty that prayer. You
struggle against giants in your
life. Sue Lord, give me
00:36:13.97\00:36:18.77
this mountain. He says that if
you got for you, if you can say
to the mountain, he
00:36:18.77\00:36:25.41
plucked up and cast into the
sea. We all struggle with his
mountain of Sen. That needs to
00:36:25.41\00:36:28.08
be overcome. You've got faith.
You can move mountains Caleb
says, give me this mountain.
00:36:28.08\00:36:38.89
On which the Lord Spur spoken
that they have the were there
that the cities were great and
00:36:38.89\00:36:42.96
fortified it. Maybe the Lord
will be with me and I'll be able
I will be able member
00:36:42.96\00:36:45.93
what he said. To drive them out.
So Joshua blessed him and gave
Hebron to Caleb the son
00:36:45.93\00:36:53.27
of Japhanie as an inheritance.
Therefore, Hebron became
inheritance of Caleb, the son
00:36:53.27\00:36:59.55
of Japhanie. The keen insight to
this day because you wholly
followed the Lord God of
00:36:59.55\00:37:04.19
Israel. You know, to this very
day, tribe of Caleb was due to
and that's where you get the
00:37:04.19\00:37:11.43
word Jews. Not every izrahite as
a J**. There but all the
descendants of Judah, Levi and
00:37:11.43\00:37:20.20
Benjamin are typically called
the Jews. And it's because of
the face of this old man who
00:37:20.20\00:37:24.04
said, I believe God is able
that's how they got the
territory to the south because
00:37:24.04\00:37:28.01
you wanted the best country for
his people. You know, I believe
got feel helps us to
00:37:28.01\00:37:35.52
conquer giants. And you need to
have courage if you're going to
be a Christian. Jesus
00:37:35.52\00:37:43.02
said we've got to believe. All
things are possible. Do not fear
cry. Said, you know, the
00:37:43.02\00:37:49.63
Bible tells us is 365 times in
the scripture. Gotsis fear, not
fear, not fear, not. He
00:37:49.63\00:37:55.04
doesn't want to be afraid. Now,
here's the here's that famous
story. People around
00:37:55.04\00:38:01.01
the world know this story that
never read the Bible. story of
David Goliath. Sometimes we
00:38:01.01\00:38:07.15
save it for the little kids in
the Sunday school or Sabha
school and and there's a lot
00:38:07.15\00:38:10.82
of good theology in here for the
adults. For Samuel 17 verse one.
Now the Philistines
00:38:10.82\00:38:18.33
gathered their armies to battle.
And they gathered so cough which
00:38:18.33\00:38:24.47
belonged to Judah. And the in
camp between Socoh and as he CA
and even stammen. And Saul and
00:38:24.47\00:38:29.47
the minute Israel. That's the
king. We're gathered together in
camped in the valley And they
00:38:29.47\00:38:36.31
drew up in battle or a against
the Philistines. You get the
Philistines on Juan Mountains,
00:38:36.31\00:38:40.02
a creek between you've got the
Israelites and another mountain.
00:38:40.02\00:38:45.02
The on one side is light and the
other side they taunted and they
hurled spears and things that
00:38:45.02\00:38:48.92
each other. But they had to
really engage for battle. In a
champion without from the camp
00:38:48.92\00:38:54.56
of the Philistines named Goliath
from gaffe, whose height was 6
cubits in a span. He was 2
00:38:54.56\00:39:01.34
feet taller than our friend.
Erica showed you. He had a
bronze helmet on his head. And
00:39:01.34\00:39:07.04
he was armed with a coat of
mail. And the weight of the code
was 5,000 shekels of
00:39:07.04\00:39:11.51
runs. Many of bronze armor on
his legs and a bronze javelin
between shoulders. Now the
00:39:11.51\00:39:19.75
staff of the spear was like a
weaver's beam. It was, you know,
bigs, log for his spear.
00:39:19.75\00:39:25.93
And the Iron spearhead weighed
600 shekels. 22 pound spearhead
00:39:25.93\00:39:30.77
spearhead usually pretty small.
Go to the gym pickup. 22 pounds.
And you'll see that was on the
00:39:30.77\00:39:35.34
end of the spear. How could you
hold that? And it says the staff
of the spear like a weaver's
00:39:35.34\00:39:42.54
beam. And shield bear went
before him. Many stood and cried
out to the armies of
00:39:42.54\00:39:50.82
Israel. Why'd you come out line
up for I not a philistine and
you're the servants us all
00:39:50.82\00:39:56.93
choose a man. You're for
yourselves. Let him come down to
me. If he's able to fight
00:39:56.93\00:40:00.03
with me. Notice if he's able the
fight would mean to kill me and
will be your servants.
00:40:00.03\00:40:06.40
No sense in our army is all
being decimated. You said that
your best. Philistine send out
00:40:06.40\00:40:11.64
their best. Whoever wins. That
will settle the argument. If I
prevailing kill him, then. You
00:40:11.64\00:40:18.11
should be our servants. And if
he kills me, vice versa. I defy
the armies of Israel this
00:40:18.11\00:40:25.12
day. Give me a man. Once all the
King and Israel, her all these
words of the philistine.
00:40:25.12\00:40:31.16
They were dismayed and greatly
afraid. There you have it again.
00:40:31.16\00:40:35.80
God's people being afraid. They
lost their courage. They were
afraid. And now it introduces a
00:40:35.80\00:40:44.24
boy. And when we say boy, I know
the stories always like to show
him that these it just a kid.
00:40:44.24\00:40:48.61
But he's probably 18 to 20 years
of age. You technically didn't
00:40:48.61\00:40:53.95
go to battle until you're 20
because Jesse told him to stay
at home. Probably still under
00:40:53.95\00:40:56.85
20. His brothers are in the
battle. Father says David, you
need to bring supplies to the
00:40:56.85\00:41:03.32
army. They didn't have, you
know, government taxes back to
everybody just with cent from
00:41:03.32\00:41:06.26
their farms to feed the soldiers
in the field. To David brings
00:41:06.26\00:41:10.80
his donkey load of supplies to
his brother's name was gave a
little something to the captain
00:41:10.80\00:41:13.64
of the officers and as David's
distributing the food. Guess who
comes marching out for the
00:41:13.64\00:41:19.21
40th time? Into the valley and
issues his challenge. David
didn't have newspapers back
00:41:19.21\00:41:26.55
that he didn't know what was
going on. All of a sudden life
comes out. He's stomping
00:41:26.55\00:41:33.02
around and taunting and mocking
God. He can't believe it. And
David heard the words
00:41:33.02\00:41:41.16
of the Philistine verse. 24 in
all the men of Israel when they
saw them and they fled
00:41:41.16\00:41:43.77
from them. coward back when he
charged out and they were
dreadfully afraid. And so all
00:41:43.77\00:41:52.21
the men of Israel said, have you
seen this man come up? Surely
00:41:52.21\00:41:56.04
he's come to defy Israel and it
will be that the man who killed
him, the king will enrich him
00:41:56.04\00:41:59.35
with riches and give him his
daughter. bride, make his
father's House tax exempt in the
00:41:59.35\00:42:07.49
kingdom. And David spoke to all
the men who stood by saying what
will be done for the man who
00:42:07.49\00:42:11.49
kills a Philistine takes away
this >> Who is this
uncircumcised Philistine that he
00:42:11.49\00:42:16.53
should defy the armies of the
living. God. >> And as David
starts to take off jacket, off
00:42:16.53\00:42:22.20
item off either. Let me add
Everybody is going go. Get
yourself killed. And the sister
00:42:22.20\00:42:30.71
of the camp and people say
what's going on whippersnapper
from Benjamin Bethlehem and he
00:42:30.71\00:42:34.85
says he's going to fight the
giant. Kings will bring them
over here. And David is brought
00:42:34.85\00:42:40.06
to the King. For his brother's,
give him a hard time and say all
you do, you should going
00:42:40.06\00:42:47.46
home. You just trying to get
attention. He says, don't you
think there's a cause that
00:42:47.46\00:42:50.23
should excite us? David goes the
Saul system. Are you able to go
against this man and
00:42:50.23\00:42:58.07
fight against in your youth?
He's a man of war from his
youth. I listen to how David
00:42:58.07\00:43:02.88
response. David said, I have
faith like kill the giant. And
the reason I have faith disk
00:43:02.88\00:43:10.15
has God has given me evidence
for my faith. They is not being
reckless. David was
00:43:10.15\00:43:18.49
being calculated and courageous.
Listen to what he says. This all
00:43:18.49\00:43:23.23
you're serving. Used to keep his
father sheep and when a lion or
bear came and took a lamb out of
00:43:23.23\00:43:28.90
the flock, I went out after it
and I struck it and deliver the
land from its mouth. And
00:43:28.90\00:43:34.18
whatever rose against me. I
caught it by its beer, even kill
it with the slaying. He
00:43:34.18\00:43:37.18
caught it by its Bearden struck
it and killed it. Your service
killed both the lion
00:43:37.18\00:43:41.72
and the bear. And I think
because of past experience, I've
got evidence. I have
00:43:41.72\00:43:47.19
faith. I can also kill this
giant. Because being like one of
since consider he's defying
00:43:47.19\00:43:53.46
the armies of God. David saw
this is an affront against God.
By the way, it is true. A
00:43:53.46\00:44:02.30
man can kill a bear with a
stick. I read in the papers of
couple years ago in a clip of
00:44:02.30\00:44:07.88
a man walking with his dog up in
Canada with almost no warning
suddenly mother Bear
00:44:07.88\00:44:13.08
had jumped him. And again, the
more him about the head in the
back. He tried to protect
00:44:13.08\00:44:19.29
himself and the dog was barking.
The bear turned to give the dog
00:44:19.29\00:44:23.69
gets attention. He jumped up
grabbed a limb from a pine tree
when the bear turned back at
00:44:23.69\00:44:30.43
him, the wall of the bear and
managed to get right over the
head. Which funded stood there
00:44:30.43\00:44:34.97
for a minute continue thought I
better keep hitting. And he did
it again. I got a real
00:44:34.97\00:44:38.74
clean whack on the head and the
thing staggered and he hit it
again. And once it went
00:44:38.74\00:44:43.85
down, he could And he went and
reported to the Rangers. What
happened? He was all caught
00:44:43.85\00:44:51.02
up. He brought him back. He
showed in the Bay area when it
was a mother bear. Man killed
00:44:51.02\00:44:53.72
a bear with a stick. Look it up.
To David's. Tell him his
experience. David put his life
00:44:53.72\00:45:04.40
on the line to save the Sheep.
Jesus put his life on the line
to save And he said, I'm not
00:45:04.40\00:45:10.67
afraid is Jane. And so. I think
I killed him. Finally saw says.
Go my son, the Lord,
00:45:10.67\00:45:21.48
be with you. I think Salas
probably thinking if we send our
best soldier. And he
00:45:21.48\00:45:28.02
loses, we're going look bad. If
we send a kid and they win. Then
they're going to feel
00:45:28.02\00:45:33.56
bad. I think saw wasn't so sure
the David was going to win. And
00:45:33.56\00:45:41.84
all but the the soldiers in
Israel when they were taking
bets on who is going to win this
00:45:41.84\00:45:45.17
battle. The odds are pretty low
on David. They're all taken both
20 to one on Goliath. And
00:45:45.17\00:45:52.38
Davidson all go out. And so you
better take my armor. They
didn't want focus Kings retried
00:45:52.38\00:46:00.96
on the Kings armor, I was for
was the head and shoulders
taller than everybody else. Does
00:46:00.96\00:46:05.39
it say that about David? So
David puts on Saul's armor and
he's looking out Nicole like
00:46:05.39\00:46:11.80
this kind of like, you know,
people he driving down the road.
They're looking through the
00:46:11.80\00:46:13.97
steering wheel, you know, want
to talk about. Have you tried to
lock in? He says this is
00:46:13.97\00:46:18.97
going to kill me for sure. This
is no offense, your highness,
but I haven't proven
00:46:18.97\00:46:24.58
this. I let me go the way I'm
used to going in my own armor,
so to speak. So he took his
00:46:24.58\00:46:31.55
staff and his hand and he chose
from fell 5 smooth stones from
00:46:31.55\00:46:36.32
the Brook. Someone said David
had so much faith why to get 5
Stones. David, to Goliath had 4
00:46:36.32\00:46:40.53
brothers and he was planning
ahead. you put them in a
shepherd's bag. Now, David, you
00:46:40.53\00:46:47.97
know, when you take your sheep
all day long. You know, I think
I can knock guy with a tree. you
00:46:47.97\00:46:59.91
And he got really, really good.
He was like a sniper with a
sling. And this is biblical. You
00:46:59.91\00:47:06.55
read your Bible. It says that
the tribe of Benjamin had 300
men that could sling stones left
00:47:06.55\00:47:12.46
handed at a hair's breath and
not miss. I had a friend of mine
that lived in Alaska. He
00:47:12.46\00:47:18.60
said the something he knew it up
there. They could sling stones
just like they do in
00:47:18.60\00:47:23.84
the Middle East. They would put
a stone a smooth stone. They
could put it through a 3
00:47:23.84\00:47:28.58
quarter inch piece of plywood.
pretty strong. So David chose a
smooth stones. And he goes
00:47:28.58\00:47:37.82
marching off into the valley
and Goliath and his armor-bearer
00:47:37.82\00:47:41.99
come out and they think This is
sending out a messenger. Boy.
And he coming down. He's got to
00:47:41.99\00:47:49.53
stick in the Senate, find his
eyes and Well that I want to
them to send me a soldier. The
00:47:49.53\00:47:55.57
sending a kid with a stick.
aiath it starts to Howland.
Bellone says come down to me and
00:47:55.57\00:48:04.48
I'll give your flesh to the
birds of the air and the beast
of the field. And I thought that
00:48:04.48\00:48:07.18
would scare him off right away.
giant don't talk like I talked
come on We've got a deep voice.
00:48:07.18\00:48:16.22
And David said to the
Philistine, you come to me with
a sword and a spear in the
00:48:16.22\00:48:22.33
javelin. But I come to you in
the name of the Lord of hosts.
I'm coming to you with the word
00:48:22.33\00:48:26.67
of God. The God of the armies of
Israel who knew of the fight
this day, the Lord will
00:48:26.67\00:48:35.01
deliver you into my hand. That's
faith. I will strike you and
I'll take your head
00:48:35.01\00:48:39.88
from unite. Isn't even I was
going to do that yet. But he's
got faith. He thinks when the
00:48:39.88\00:48:43.75
time comes, God will provide.
And this they all give the
carcass of you in the camp of
00:48:43.75\00:48:49.26
the Philistines to the birds of
the air in the wild. Be severe.
00:48:49.26\00:48:53.19
That just going to happen. David
made a prophecy came true so
that all the Earth will know
00:48:53.19\00:48:58.57
that there is a God in Israel.
Over this story. It's a true
story. That all the assembly
00:48:58.57\00:49:07.61
will know that the Lord does not
say with Sword spear in the
battle, does the lords and he
00:49:07.61\00:49:12.38
will give it into our hands.
Don't look at the problems.
Everybody. Look at Life shield
00:49:12.38\00:49:20.26
there. They looked at his helmet
and they looked at his grieves
on his his ankles and
00:49:20.26\00:49:23.26
they looked at his his breath
works in his his sword and all
the implements a look at his
00:49:23.26\00:49:31.67
size and everybody was looking
at the problems and they
thought. How in the world
00:49:31.67\00:49:36.24
could you ever overcome my guy?
9 feet, 6 inches. And David, to,
00:49:36.24\00:49:41.64
you know, he's really only 5
feet. 72 inches. Yeah, a
different perspective on things.
00:49:41.64\00:49:47.62
And David said, you know, the
bigger they are, the harder they
fall. David wasn't afraid. He
00:49:47.62\00:49:55.09
actually saw his flight. Nurse
and speed is an advantage. This
always blows me away. Friends.
00:49:55.09\00:50:05.67
It says it was so when the
Philistine the roads, he came in
June near. He drew near to me,
00:50:05.67\00:50:11.84
David and David hurried and ran
towards the Army to meet the
Philistine a fund fight a
00:50:11.84\00:50:15.41
giant. The first don't make him
at first. And you want to run.
Find him. He was fearless
00:50:15.41\00:50:22.95
because he believed God was with
some friends. And David put his
hand in his bag. Why
00:50:22.95\00:50:27.46
he's running. And he takes out a
stone and he whipped with all
his strength that he had
00:50:27.46\00:50:34.56
different caliber slayings. He
had brought his. His 7
millimeters brought the the
00:50:34.56\00:50:40.04
Elephant gun. He had a long one
more centripetal force. And the
that Stone. But, you
00:50:40.04\00:50:50.45
know, I think, you know, I was
punching him. He got so mad. He
pushed his helmet back.
00:50:50.45\00:50:53.98
wasn't even sure how he was
going to get through his armor.
And live out there in
00:50:53.98\00:50:58.59
the sun. After 40 days he
started getting hot new push to
visor back on his helmet
00:50:58.59\00:51:02.16
and David Southern. Who'd both
I. ran a nice long. The stone.
And he hit him right between
00:51:02.16\00:51:09.46
the eyes. And the Bible says he
fell on his face and gloriously
with a great fed to
00:51:09.46\00:51:15.67
the earth. So David prevailed
over the Philistine with the
slaying and with the stone and
00:51:15.67\00:51:23.18
he struck the Philistine and he
killed him. What is the stone
represent in the Bible?
00:51:23.18\00:51:28.92
Jesus is the rock. Upon which
the church is built. It's a
stone. And Daniel to that
00:51:28.92\00:51:36.09
brings down all the false
religions of the world. Christ
the rock and then not only
00:51:36.09\00:51:40.70
that notice. He didn't have a
sword when he finally stands
over the Philistine. He said
00:51:40.70\00:51:47.94
you mind if I borrow this.
Goliath is down, but he's not
quite out yet. And he takes
00:51:47.94\00:51:54.98
the life story, which is huge.
David needs both hands. You
could barely lift the thing.
00:51:54.98\00:51:58.08
And when that sort came down, I
believe there was silence in
both armies. First, there was
00:51:58.08\00:52:05.39
a long silence of disbelief of
everybody. And picked up glass
head and said I don't think
00:52:05.39\00:52:12.69
he's getting up again. And then
you heard a shout go up from
Israel and all the guys
00:52:12.69\00:52:20.30
that, yeah, I knew we could do
it. They didn't even believe.
And the philistines fall that
00:52:20.30\00:52:28.14
and they turned and ran to say
could see that God, which was
David. You know, friends, God
00:52:28.14\00:52:33.58
will be with you. In your
battles. Don't look at how big
the enemy is. All things are
00:52:33.58\00:52:40.56
possible to him that believes he
took the Giants had with the
sword. Jesus said I came
00:52:40.56\00:52:46.09
not to send peace but a sword.
The word of God is quick and
powerful and sharper than any
00:52:46.09\00:52:52.43
2 edge sword. We need to fill
our minds with the word how to
Jesus fight temptation when
00:52:52.43\00:52:56.17
the Giants come. It is written.
It is written. It is written.
00:52:56.17\00:53:03.41
Jesus. It's toward the word of
God in his mind. And when the
devil comes to us we are fully
00:53:03.41\00:53:05.85
in our minds with the word of
God, the word of God contains
many exceeding great
00:53:05.85\00:53:12.29
impressions, promises that by
these we might become partakers
of the divine nature. It's
00:53:12.29\00:53:16.42
through these promises that we
send the devil running. The
Bible says finally the devil.
00:53:16.42\00:53:21.10
When Jesus said it is written
and then he said, get behind me,
Satan. And the Devil left. We
00:53:21.10\00:53:28.44
can resist the devil to the word
of God. You don't have to be
afraid friends. All things are
00:53:28.44\00:53:33.91
possible to him that believes
the Bible says David was a man
after God's heart. Why?
00:53:33.91\00:53:39.68
Because he believed in God and
he didn't look at the problems.
00:53:39.68\00:53:43.22
He looked at the promise of God,
you know, the Bible tells us you
read the whole history of David
00:53:43.22\00:53:47.96
and his many, many chapters
about David. He never lost a
battle. He's one of the great
00:53:47.96\00:53:55.06
even Alexander. The great loss
and fees are lost in battle to
the polling big ones. David
00:53:55.06\00:53:58.67
never lost the battle. Any
foreign a lot of battles he
conquered the Philistines, comp
00:53:58.67\00:54:05.11
with the E mighty conquered. The
the moabite he conquered the
conquered the Assyrians.
00:54:05.11\00:54:11.68
Everywhere he went. You want to
fight in or you want to have
David next year. Because
00:54:11.68\00:54:14.42
he went into battle with faith
in got. Jesus is our David Jesus
is the son of David.
00:54:14.42\00:54:24.56
we're meeting devil on the
battlefield of temptation.
Jesus, I'm here with you. I
00:54:24.56\00:54:29.43
will never leave you and forsake
you. You turn to God when you're
00:54:29.43\00:54:33.70
tempted in praise the Lord you
know, in this battle, you get on
your knees. You know, it's
00:54:33.70\00:54:37.41
almost impossible to thin and
pray at the same time. If you
turn to the Lord when you're
00:54:37.41\00:54:43.28
tempted. He can give you
victories and you can grow and
you can change. He can bless you
00:54:43.28\00:54:49.78
so that your marriages or better
in your relationships. He can
make it. So you get along
00:54:49.78\00:54:54.76
better with the people who work
through the spirit of God into
prayer. What are the
00:54:54.76\00:54:58.19
practical problem? You're having
trouble managing money? Power of
God and Jesus in you
00:54:58.19\00:55:04.67
can give power to resist the
temptation to spend your
responsibly. He can change
00:55:04.67\00:55:08.54
every area of your life. And
this is what the Lord wants to
them. What to do. Few friends.
00:55:08.54\00:55:14.88
Through faith. All these things
are possible. Chapter 11 verse
00:55:14.88\00:55:22.48
6. Says without faith. It is
impossible to please God for he
that comes to God must believe
00:55:22.48\00:55:27.12
that he is and that he is. the
power. Of saving us. He will
deliver you. He pushed Chapter 4
00:55:27.12\00:55:37.97
verse one to let us therefore
fear a promise being left us of
entering his rest. Any of you
00:55:37.97\00:55:43.00
should seem to come short of it.
Don't be afraid to believe. Here
00:55:43.00\00:55:48.71
is the patience of the Saints
revelation. 14, 12. Here are
those who keep the Commandments
00:55:48.71\00:55:53.52
of God. What? The faith of All
things are possible through
faith. Fusions to are saved by
00:55:53.52\00:56:01.69
grace. You have been saved
through faith, not of
yourselves. It is the gift of
00:56:01.69\00:56:06.96
God bless any man. Should boast.
Romans 5 one, therefore being
justified by faith. I consider
00:56:06.96\00:56:16.10
all day and reverses about
faith. God wants you to know
that you and God are always a
00:56:16.10\00:56:22.44
majority in all things are
possible. We've got friends. You
believe it. You know, the Bible.
00:56:22.44\00:56:29.85
Promises. That if we believe we
can be transformed. Whoever
believes in him. Has faith in
00:56:29.85\00:56:36.26
him will not perish but have
everlasting life. Some of the
little palm once. Don't seize
00:56:36.26\00:56:43.43
the obstacles. Faith sees the
way. doubt she's the darkest
night fate seize the day.
00:56:43.43\00:56:50.34
Don't drugs to take a step.
Faith sores on high. Doubt
questions who believes faith
00:56:50.34\00:56:57.05
answers. You're going to hear
different reports in the world
for the even from the church
00:56:57.05\00:57:05.75
Some are going to spend all
that. I'm making excuses for
Sen. But she says don't look
00:57:05.75\00:57:11.36
at the proms. Look at the
promise. You can do all things
to me. You can be a new
00:57:11.36\00:57:15.63
creature. You come to Christ and
then you go for Christ. You want
00:57:15.63\00:57:21.60
to do that, Frank, you want that
experience and you are watching.
