When David Defeated the Giant
When David met Goliath in battle he did so in a time when all Israel was cowering to Goliath’s taunts. Saul the man of the flesh offered David his armor. But David went with what was familiar to him, the sling shot and stones.
David had advanced in faith against great enemies through killing a lion and a bear while watching over his father’s sheep.
As David approached the battlefield he saw that the enemy Goliath the giant, had all of Israel gripped in fear. The giant was a great foe for sure, for he taunted any warrior of Israel to come and fight him in battle. None dared.
All Israel believed that to fight Goliath would be sure death. All but David.
Israel had given in to fear!
David found confidence, in God’s faithfulness in past battles. David was no doubt strong through his worship time in the fields of Israel, as he sat by night watching the flocks.
David took five stones and a sling with him to battle. So now, with one slung stone (a word) David brought down his enemy. Five represents God's grace. He always has reserve!
Now, there was a problem for David. The enemy had to be totally destroyed. David needed a sword to cut off the enemies head. If he'd of taken up Saul's offer, he would have had a weapon. But Saul's sword was disqualified, because of Saul's compromise with Samuel's word to "kill all the Philistines" in battle. Saul's sword would have been useless.
So David did a thing that most of us have not understood. To kill a giant, you bring him down with, "one God word", but you finish him off by owning his weapon, and using it on him for his total defeat!
At Goliath's Sword, we believe we are right now in a watching time before the next battle which is the one with the Giant. There is a need in this moment to look at our coming battle, and ask our Lord for strategies to win. There is a mounting conflict between the place and people of your former life and the place and people of your next assignment. It is important not to back down to the people who hold you back. They are the weapon of the flesh. They cannot win in the coming battle.
Settle your heart on what you are believing for right now. The Lord is going to take you to the place of your vision. There is a flame that has been kindled inside you for this day! Let that burning heart for Jesus flame!
When opportunity arises, now is the time to walk steadily and purposefully into that thing. Jah has given you word to bring down the enemy. You will own the enemies sword (his power, his word) to finish him off! We bring him down with one faith word. We finish him off with a refute of his testimony!
Then, when our enemy is brought down, and his head cut off, we shall own him, rising
his head (his cut off authority)as an encouragement to the children of God!
Join me in this decree:
I shall triumph over ever foe that has bound me. I will face the giant that has stood in taunts against my vision and bring him down with this prophetic word, and I will slay this giant with his own sword! I speak to My enemy and say you are defeated, in the Name of My Lord Jesus. I speak to you and call you defeated in Christ’s blood name. I say the Word of the Lord is exalted in this hour and this ministry is abounding forward to called destiny.
So be it!
Kingdom Prophet, the victory is at hand!
