What's Your Goliath?
Manage episode 484963250 series 3646463
We all know that life isn't easy, but not all of us know that life was supposed to be easy, peaceful, and everlasting with God the Father. But since we don't currently live the way He originally intended and designed, we all face many situations - or a Goliath rather - in life that no doubt make us feel alone, unequipped, and/or defeated, which is exactly the way Satan wants us to feel - deceiving us that he has control over our lives and that God doesn't care, or is even non-existent.
In this episode, my primary focus comes from the book of 1 Samuel 17:31-54, where I discuss in great length that although we may face all these things that can make us feel we're at an all-time low, God wants us to know we're not alone, that He does care, and that He actually fights our battles, all so that He would be glorified while at the same time draw closer to Him.
Additionally, it’s important to know with our God-given authority to approach and defeat our Goliath on God’s behalf, misusing His name can bring a whole different set of problems, thus the importance of understanding the power of the enemy when we underestimate our battles and/or assume we can prevail on our own.
Please note that this is my personal interpretation of the scripture to the best of my current knowledge and understanding. I encourage anyone to please check and verify as scripture encourages all believers to do so. There may be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important, if you feel lead by the Holy Spirit to do so.
