1 Samuel 17:4
4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.
He may be a champion in his camp but he picked the wrong child. You are a giant killer.
The good news is that Goliath could talk as much as he wanted but the bad news was he was defeated.
David was willing to speak to powers and cut off his head and not just the giant but the entire army.
The devil can talk his talk but he that talks last will have the last day. He talked with words but Davis talked with power.
Time to go to the front line and take out those that are talking against you.
When God takes from the backside of the desert He anoints you to take out devils.
David was anointed to take territory. You are the head and not the tail, they can’t fire you because God hired. Walk with your sling bag and stones.
In order to take a territory you have to take the champion out.
There is a cause
1 Samuel 17:29
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
We have taken the territory of Chapman Lane and Emmerton.
1 Samuel 17:32
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Method to save souls
1. Have fellowship with them
2. Eat and drink with them
3. Then preach the gospel
1 Samuel 17:36
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
We have been trained with lions and bears but now it’s time to take out the giants
1 Samuel 17:37
37 David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.
The same God is with us we will take territory back in Barbados
1 Samuel 17: 45-47
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.”
God will provide all that you need for the battle, what the giant planned to use on David he used against him. He took his head off.
