1 Samuel 17: Face your Goliath in the Name Of The Lord

1 Samuel 17

Face your Goliath in the Name Of The Lord - Learn about God's Kingdom, your Kingdom, the rest is history!

All you have to do is believe. It's that simple. Just as you have faith that the plane/ train/ bus/ car will take you to your destination so too you must believe God. The manufacturer of the motor vehicle is excited for you to take his car for a test run. He knows what it is capable of. The chef is delighted for you to try his gourmet recipe that he spent hours preparing. The scientist is breathless for you to try his newest invention. So too God is enchanted for you to prove HIS GLORY. HE wants to show you what HE'S capable of and how much HE really cares for you.

Like David, HE has given you a talent of some sort; something that you're really good at. HE gave it to you to explore, practice and get really good at it, so that when the time is right all you'll have to do is look within you and use it to the best of your ability.  Matthew 25 Like the parable of the master who on leaving his house entrusted his property to his servants. Upon return, he expected them to increase/ improve on what he had given each of them to steward. Everyone has God given talent(s). We are stones, born with perfect gems within each of us. In Genesis 1 everything that God created was good. That means that you are an original masterpiece. There's only one you in 6 billion people living in the earth today.  No one else has your fingerprint.  Man is the only thing that God formed; everything else HE spoke it into being. You were specially crafted. HIS Word says HE knew us before we were in our mother's womb. That's like a seed before it's put into the ground to bear fruit. God knows what you and I are capable of. But more importantly, HE knows what we can accomplish when we partner with HIM.

2 Peter 1:3

 

His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.

God's love is 100% pure....

 

There is nothing alive that wasn't made by God, even Goliath. God isn't afraid of 'our goliaths' i.e. our oppositions/ hurdles/ enemies/problems/ issues that we have no idea how to deal with. In fact, life is riddled with obstacles. You are either infront of one, heading into one or just come away from one. Challenges are a way of life; a way for God to declare HIMSELF as Sovereign over all the earth; a way for God to demonstrate HIS power and glory. It is important that we recognize and respect who HE is and what HE is capable of. If we could figure everything out for ourselves we wouldn't need God, nor would we appreciate HIM. We need to understand and trust HIS motives. First of all, God never retracts on HIS Word.  If HE says HE'S going to do it HE will. Everything HE does is driven by HIS love for us. Romans 5 When we trust in God it doesn't matter what we face. HE delights in using HIS Power to demonstrate HIS Love for us towards anything that would want to deter HIS plans for the success of the gifts HE has placed in or given to us. 

 

God is a King....

 

The Almighty God is The Supreme King of both the heaven and the earth.  Psalm 47 HE is Sovereign over all i.e. there is no power that exist outside of HIS dominion that is more powerful than HIM.  Whatever HE creates, institutes or does cannot be undone by anyone.  HIS Word is final.  As a King, whatever HE decrees is law.  HIS government is not democratic, republic nor any other system than royal.  The rules and regulations of HIS government are not open for debate.  You either obey or disobey.  When you disobey you are seen as an enemy of The Kingdom.  That's the way it works in a Kingdom.  There are protocols which need to be followed.  In a Kingdom, a king is responsible for the welfare of his citizens.  Their lifestyle reflect his glory i.e. nature, character and wealth.  For instance: the neighborhood you live in, the house, the clothes you wear, the school you attend, etc... reflect your parents' wealth and preferences.  When you become a child of God you are a citizen of HIS Kingdom.  All citizens have rights and privileges.  These are based on the laws and constitution of that kingdom.  The more familiar the citizens are of what is acceptable, the more they can take advantage of the opportunities in their kingdom.  Knowledge is key.  It is important to know your talent(s) and the King's resources at your disposal.

“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. ⁴⁰ Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.

⁴¹ Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. ⁴² He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. ⁴³ He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. ⁴⁴ “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”

⁴⁵ David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. ⁴⁶ This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. ⁴⁷ All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

When God says I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you, BELIEVE HIM!   Deuteronomy 31 As a child of God HIS Kingdom is your inheritance. After the devil deceived Adam and Eve in Eden God promised to restore access in Genesis 3 Jesus brought that restoration. Matthew 16 It has always been HIS intention to let you have dominion in HIS Kingdom on earth. Power and authority is what God had in mind for mankind all along.  All you have to do is accept and believe HIS commands.

Genesis 1: 26 -28

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Do not allow yourself to be distracted by anyone or even your own thoughts.  (David did not allow his brothers, Saul, the soldiers, anyone to distract him from his belief in God) Whatever you need a VICTORY for, believe HIM.  It could be a bad relationship, a sickness, a trauma, a loss, a fear so overwhelming that it cripples you, steals your joy, weakens you.  BELIEVE HIM! That was never HIS plan for your life, NEVER! Jesus overcame so that we could do the same.  We have power and authority on earth to overcome our circumstances.  We can take control. John 16 We do not have to live subject to any other authority but that of The Almighty God through the leading of The Holy Spirit whom Jesus left as our teacher.  John 14 Afterall, this 'Kingdom thing' is all new to us.  We need someone who understands it and is familiar with its territory and government system. Draw close to God, and HE will draw nigh to you.  Call upon HIS NAME and watch HIM win.

Yeshua - JESUS...The Messiah

Have you ever just been waiting with such anxiety for something/ someone special to arrive like a grandma, a friend, a graduation, a date, a wedding day or a special birthday, etc...  This particular person or thing fills your heart with joy just by thinking about them.  That's the history of THE MESSIAH. 

  HE was promised by God to a nation, Israel, who was often always being held captive by another nation and they were just tired of being in bondage.  After they were delivered from slavery in Egypt, the Israelites were led by Moses towards the Land God had promised them since Adam their forefather.  They were so used to being in bondage that when God offered them a new way of life they refused and reverted to their traditions of worshiping idols.  Nevertheless, God continually delivered them from their enemies.  HE wanted to be their King, but they wanted to be like the other nations around them with a physical king.  

 

God's intent....

 

All along, God made man to rule the earth while they were being submitted to HIS rulership.  They didn't understand that.  They didn't know how.  Constantly they failed. That's why The Almighty God had to send Jesus - 'The Messiah' who would give them 'The Governor' - The Holy Spirit to teach them how to. After Moses died, Joshua led them into the "Promise Land'.   God gave them Saul their first human king, and then David.  David was a King who loved and honored God so much that God destroyed all of their enemies and gave them extended peace and wealth.  Finally they enjoyed freedom, peace and wealth all at the same time.  David was a man after God's own heart.  1 Samuel 13; Acts 13 But then sometime after David's death they went back to idol worshiping.  Once again they were taken into captivity because of their disobedience. Over and over again they got caught in a cycle of bondage. They dreamt of a freedom which was growing vague in their memories.  Once upon a time they used to be rich and prosperous and peaceful and happy.  They wanted to experience that again - to be at peace with a leader, someone who had their best interest at heart, in their own town. Zechariah 9 

 

God loves all people, everyone of HIS creation....

 

But there's a flipside to this same MESSIAH.  HE didn't just come to save a 'Chosen Nation' - the Jews.  God decided to deliver them once and for all and from every enemy that could ever attack them in the future.  HE decided to destroy the source of their opposition - the devil.  There are two 'realms' in the earth: the physical and the spiritual.  The spiritual realm is more powerful and real than the physical.   Also there are two kingdoms in the earth: the kingdom of this world which is governed by the devil, and the Kingdom of God (heaven on earth) which is governed by God's children.  

 

When Jesus came to the earth HE brought with HIM from heaven the power and authority of the Kingdom of God for the people of God.  Once HE established this Kingdom ' the rest was history'.  Jesus brought the dominion of the spiritual realm into the physical realm. HE destroyed the devil's kingdom and left man in charge of his freedom under the supervision of The Holy Spirit. Isaiah 9 God in HIS Great Love extended that invitation to the Gentiles - whosoever will.  HE didn't just resolve to save HIS people from their existing enemies but to remove all enemies from their experience once and for all even though they did not deserve it.  They rejected HIM.  But true love is inspite of, not because of.   It is a choice in advance.  It's like a mother's love for her newborn baby.

 

John 3: 16

 

For God so loved the world that HE sent HIS only begotten son. That whosoever believeth in HIM shall be saved.

 

Also, God's intent was to reconnect man to HIS presence.  Adam and Eve used to walk with God.

John 14:3 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also  

God - Elohim has given each of us a chance to live a life so fulfilling, yet so undeserving based on HIS sacrifices, not ours.  Who does that?  Who intercepts your judgement for his? Who dies for his enemies? Who bequeaths to the ungrateful?  Who gives up his best to a stranger who does not have enough to pay for it?  Philippians 2 Which King invites a peasant to live in HIS castle at HIS expense?   This is the true essence of THE MESSIAH.  HE has chosen to love us and to give us the privilege to be in an individually intimate relationship with a generous and all powerful King.   

Isaiah 53

Who has believed our message
    and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
    and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

4 Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors.

 

Romans 8:1 

 

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 

 

HE doesn't condemn us based on our past; but HE forgives us and embraces us inspite of our flaws.   Who does that?  Are you flawed today, broken even?  Do you need acceptance, peace, and protection? Are you being held captive physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually? Turn to God.  Accept HIS love.  HE is a deliverer, your deliverer! THE MESSIAH came to give you life and life more abundantly.  Only HE can free you from any and every bondage you face today in your life.  HE restores control, your control of your life and destiny according to God's original plan for your life.

Galatians 5:1 

It is for freedom that HE has set us free.  Stand firm then, and do not let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. 

Wherever you fall short - let HIM fill you up. Let HIM empower you with HIS Holy Spirit who teaches you how to live in HIS freedom!

Psalms 24: 1-2  

 

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

Everything that you have comes from God.  You were made from dust and when you die you will become dust again.  You cannot take anything with you.  You are just here for a time to manage the 'thing(s)' which God has entrusted to your care until you die.  Do not waste your time nor HIS TALENTS.

Matthew 25: 14 - 30

14“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, ^a each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

21“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

22“The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

23“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

24“Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

26“His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28“ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Your talent(s) is a gift....

Whatever God has given to you is for you to 'improve/ increase/ grow/ flourish.  God has given each of us the potential to make wealth i.e. to succeed at whatever our endeavour.  God gives us time, talent and resources to further HIS KINGDOM - HIS PURPOSES.  HE PROVIDES so that we can populate. Genesis 1

Psalms 25:12-14 

 
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

God helps us to succeed by giving us ideas that bring revelation.  God has a warranty for your life.  But if you misuse your life for reasons other than HE created you for, you will automatically fail at your goals; and are no longer qualified to receive HIS warranty.  For instance:  God's warranty are HIS laws/instructions that govern the way we're supposed to live and function effectively.  It generally goes like this - Do this and you will receive that.  However, when we disobey then we suffer because we expect the same results inspite of our disobedience.  With God, disobedience has consequences.  Following God's instructions often leads to blessings, while disregarding them often leads to curses.    

Romans 6:23 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Your gifts OR 'HIS TALENTS' given to you, come with a guided blueprint from HIM the manufacturer.  The Almighty God is The SUPREME King.  Whatever HE says is law.  As HIS children we have an inheritance which was created before we were even born.  This inheritance gives us certain rights and responsibilities.

Ephesians 2:10 

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.   

God gives instructions through The Holy Spirit....

God doesn't expect you to figure it out.  HE just expects you to nurture and maintain them to the best of your ability based on the guidelines from The Holy Spirit.  HE explains God's Kingdom culture, expectancy and government to us God's children.  HE is our 'royal tutor'. John 14 You can't plant a tree in concrete and expect it to grow.  Trees were made for soil, as fishes were made for water, as gasoline was made for cars.  Deuteronomy 11 (God's covenant to HIS people) Stay under God's covenant so that you may/ can fulfill HIS purpose for your life.  Your life is HIS, don't waste it - rather make HIM proud by being a good steward of what HE has entrusted to you. 

Everything in the earth belongs to God and reflects HIS glory the same way a mansion reflects a King's glory.  You see his 'glory' in the quality and nature of the things he owns eg. his gardens, his wealth, his staff and the quality of their work.  Or an artist and his painting.  It reflects his nature too.  Some say the earth is God's artwork, man included.  It gives God great pleasure to display what's HIS. HIS children and their talent(s) are HIS.  We belong to HIM. It's HIS air we breathe in.  Everything in the earth is subject to HIS authority, even the devil and his demons.  All God has to do is say the word.  It's what Kings do.  The centurion with the sick servant understood that. As heirs and co-heirs to God's Kingdom we his children also have power in what we decree (as long as it is according to HIS Will) St. John 15 Each of us have our own set of roles and responsibilities.  Our actions declare God's Glory or abuse of it. It is very important that we remain submitted to HIM by observing HIS leadership through the person and presence of The Holy Spirit.  HE helps us to present our best shine.

Monitoring spirits can be destroyed...destroy them in JESUS NAME!

Monitoring spirits can be destroyed...destroy them in JESUS NAME!




Seeds are sown at altars and they die there too. Monitoring spirits are demonic.  They are assigned to take records and administer pledges to the end of the destiny of the covenant. Monitoring spirits operate according to the agreements made at an altar. Agreements occur as either a favor or a curse and manifest themselves in the physical realm. Monitoring spirits show up in your dreams. Sometimes a force: something/animal(s) are watching you from a distance, not necessarily attacking you, but there to enforce the covenants assigned to your life. They cannot enter a family or bloodline without permission from someone associated with that family directly or indirectly.

The origin and manifestation....

 

Monitoring spirits are often generational and are relieved of their authority when the covenant which was made is broken. One of the greatest signs of monitoring spirits is someone calling your name, but you don’t see anyone; or you see shadows walk by you; or birds following you; or you wake up and can’t get up; or cats and other animals showing up at your home even walking through your house. Spirits can be transferred into host cells like other people or animals. Sometimes you wake up with marks on your body; or feel a presence in your room; sometimes things are misplaced. Monitoring spirits are assigned to drive fear into a person (s), territory, etc... and should be renounced in the Name of Jesus. Counteract these evil forces with the power and promises of God to protect and deliver you and yours.

 

Luke 11: 14-23

¹⁴ Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. ¹⁵ But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.” ¹⁶ Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.

¹⁷ Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. ¹⁸ If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. ¹⁹ Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. ²⁰ But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

²¹ “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. ²² But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.

²³ “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

 

The spiritual law says a kingdom divided against itself can’t stand. Stand on the Word of God. Blessings don’t follow curses. Only apples bear apples. Depression is a side effect of monitoring spirits. Be careful of the covenants you open yourself to based on your traditions like: horoscope, tarot cards, weegee boards, environs, relationships, trinkets, souvenirs etc... An altar can be created with stones, woods, trees, metals etc... Sacrifices are made on behalf of someone else which can/ will affect the destiny of the target. Divine exchanges take place there. It is a high place. Wherever there is a satanic altar there is bloodshed. There has to be a point of contact a picture, something you own, etc… The effect and potency of demonic powers can be reversed through prayer. Prayer gives God divine authorization to act in the earthly realm. Prayer is the heavenly license for divine interference to satanic activities. Deuteronomy 7

 

Your weapon....

 

 the devil and his demons were kicked out of heaven because they disobeyed God. Luke 10  Since then he deceived Adam and Eve into giving up dominion of the earth.  he is the father of lies and the prince of darkness.  As a former 'angel' he has powers.  However, when Jesus came to the earth HE restored the dominion of the Kingdom of heaven on earth to mankind.  Whosoever will  accept, believe and confess Jesus Christ as The Messiah has the privilege to overcome every attack of the devil and his demons.  Romans 10  When Jesus rose from the dead he conquered the devil's kingdom.  HE defeated the 'strongman' and gave us back our rights and authority.  St. John 16  Jesus put us back in charge of our circumstances and destiny.  In addition HE gave us THE Holy Spirit as a tutor to guide us in maintaining our position.  We have power to defeat any and every weapon i.e. covenant, curse, etc... which originates in the kingdom of darkness.  God does not fear the devil and neither should we.  As children of The Almighty God we have everything we need to be successful in the earth.  As royalty it is our responsibility to decree the precepts of The Lord.  The earth belongs to The Almighty God.  the devil and his demons are subjects to God and therefore subjects to us God's children.  

 

 

The power....

 

Jesus commands us to use HIS NAME as our seal.  HIS Blood was already shed as the ultimate sacrifice to The Father on our behalf.  Our only sacrifice required are 'clean hands and a pure heart'.   Romans 12  God honors our requests when we live in submission and obedience to HIS Will for our lives daily.  The only way to do this is to live by faith.  Hebrews 11 We must relate to HIM daily under the supervision of The Holy Spirit.  God is a spirit and those who worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.  The only way to God is through Jesus.  And the only way to Jesus is through The Holy Spirit.  It is not by might nor power but by MY SPIRIT says The Lord.  Zechariah 4 Resist the devil and he will/ must flee from you.  The great news about the Kingdom of God (heaven on earth) is that we have an army that fights for us.  The angels of God are our army too.  It's one of the privileges of our inheritance.  But if we don't fully understand our rights and privileges we will make the same mistake Adam and Eve made.  That's why it is imperative that we listen to and follow the guidance of The Holy Spirit who's familiar with the nature, culture and government of The Kingdom of God.  We are not unarmed, just ignorant.  Draw near to The Spirit and pay attention!

 

2 Peter 1:3

 

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

 

1 Peter 5: 8

 

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

 

 

St. John 10: 10

 
¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
