This sermon emphasizes the necessity of facing and overcoming the giants in our lives, symbolizing the obstacles, fears, and opposition that stand in the way of our God-given promises. It encourages believers to trust in God's strength, to stand against the giants for the glory of God, and to experience victory through the power of the Holy Spirit. The message highlights the importance of having faith, embracing God's promises, and boldly facing challenges with a heart of worship and thanksgiving.

My message this morning, are the giants really necessary? You ever wondered that? Are they really necessary? Now Father, I thank you God that you have an intent in your heart today. Lord you're going to give strength to the weary. You're going to lift up those that are cast down. You're going to set free those that are oppressed. You're going to give courage to the faint-hearted. Lord, you're going to rise up as a mighty man of war, not outside of, but inside of your people. God Almighty, thank you for the victories that are going to be won today. Before this hour is done, there's going to be tremendous victory won in the hearts of many people. Father, we thank you God. Oh Lord, open your word God. Make it real to us Lord. Let it not be just a letter, a dead letter that we read, but let it be a living word in our hearts. Let faith arise God. Help us Lord to embrace what we're about to hear. Help me God to speak it. Lord, overshadow the frailty of this human vessel and come oh God and let your heart be manifested, your thoughts known, your directions laid hold of. Father, we thank you for this and we praise you in Jesus' mighty name. Are the giants really necessary? Deuteronomy chapter 20, beginning at verse 1. When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies and seest horses and chariots and a people more than thou, in other words more powerful or stronger or more numerous, be not afraid of them. For the Lord thy God is with thee which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be when you are come nigh unto the battle that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people. Now this is very much in the same manner that I feel the Lord has commissioned me to do today. And shall say to them, Hear oh Israel, you approach this day unto battle against your enemies. Let not your hearts faint. Fear not and do not tremble. Neither be ye terrified because of them. For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you. Let me say it again. You shall say to them, Hear oh Israel, you approach this day to battle against your enemies. Let not your hearts faint. Fear not, do not tremble. Neither be ye terrified because of them. For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you. Now how exciting it must have been for that first generation having escaped captivity out of Egypt to come to the shores of such incredible promise. Only to find that giants are occupying what God clearly told them was to be their inheritance. Remember the spies came back and they said yes it's everything exactly as it was told to us. And they were carrying of course his staff between them and grapes literally so boughs of grapes so large that it took two men to carry them. And here they are bringing the fruit of this land in and to the natural eye it's everything that God said it was. But they said there's a problem you see there are giants in the land. Now we we feel like we can't go against them. We felt like grasshoppers in their sight that's actually what the scripture says. They were so powerful they were so strong and no doubt they had weaponry that they had formed. And they had spears and swords and such like and these are people just having come out of captivity that most likely they don't have this type of weaponry with them or anything even that approximates it. All they really have are the promises of God given to them. Now when we consider according to Psalm 24 1 that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof the world and they that dwell therein then the question arises why couldn't he have put the giant somewhere else? Why couldn't he have put pygmies in the promised land or just regular five-foot guys with sticks like the children of Israel had? Why giants? Why couldn't this journey have been made a little easier? And that's the same question that some of you are asking today. You've come here with deep set questions in the heart and you're saying if God is with me if his promises are mine why do I face such violent opposition? Why is it so hard? Why are the obstacles to getting there so high so wide and seemingly so impassable? I've read the promises and I believe them and I'm moving with all my heart towards them but set before me are these incredible obstacles that and I don't know how I'm ever going to get through it. I don't know how I'll ever get beyond it. I don't know how I'll ever get around it. It's so powerful. It seems to occupy the place that I know it should be but how do I get through it? How do I defeat this thing? Have you ever noticed that in scripture the giants always seem to be on the opposing side? How come they get the horses, the chariots, the armor, the size, the weight and the weapons? And we feel as the children of Israel did like grasshoppers with sticks sent to fight against them. How come there was no Goliath in the army of Israel? Why was there nobody there with similar size and capability and weaponry that could fight against this opposing voice that came against the children of God? We come often to God with deep-set questions in the heart. We ask ourselves why am I sent to fight this giant despair with seemingly so little natural resource to overcome it? I know today there are people in this sanctuary that despair is a constant companion. Rises up before you every day and tries to tell you you're never going to get through this. Yes there's happiness in the promised land. Yes there's peace. Yes there's a quietness of spirit affixing as it is of the eye upon the prize of God but you're never going to get there. Despair is always going to be with you. It's always going to be before you. You're never going to get through this giant of despair. Some people ask about why is this hunger in my soul that hell is screaming in my face will never be satisfied. When the scripture says I should be full and the promises say that I should never hunger why am I so hungry? Why is this scream in my heart for more of God and yet something against me opposes me every day telling me that I'll never make it and never be satisfied. Why this fury of opposition that's daily taking away my strength and making me feel like I'll never get to the other side. Is all this really necessary? Now if you're an honest person you've prayed that way. You've gone into the prayer closet and you've said God is this really necessary? Does this person really have to live next door to me? Does this other person have to really work next to me in the office? Do I really have to be in this marriage relationship? Some are saying that Do I really have to be who I am, where I am, what I am, where I'm going? Is it all really necessary? God if you are God can't you just take it away in a moment? Can't you just clear it out of my way and kind of make the way into this full life I've heard about in Christ? Just can you just can you just make it easier for me to get there? Why the struggle? Why the storm? Why the fury? Would it surprise you to know that the giants are necessary and are placed in your path and in mine for a specific reason? It all stems from the garden of Eden folks. In the garden of Eden Satan came to Adam and Eve and he said if you partake of this fruit you will be as gods knowing good and evil. And they reached out for something that had been forbidden them and they partook of it and the scripture says their eyes were opened. And this has been the frailty of the human condition of your condition and my condition. I'm talking about the natural part of us that is not under the lordship of Jesus Christ. It's called the flesh. That part of us that wars against the spirit of God. It's in your heart to be as God and it's in your heart it's in my heart to be as God. It's in the fallen nature of every human being ever born into this world. And because of this fall of sin of our father Adam this seed of death and deception is that's the part of us that is alien to God is in us. It's what causes us to believe that we can figure things out. I can get through this. I can do this. It's what causes us to believe that we can get through it in our own knowledge, our own strength, and our individual or collective determination. You ever heard it? You know together we can get through anything. Together we can rebuild. Together we can become we can be on top again. Together we can that's all out of the fallen human nature. The sin nature of man which really says we can be as God. We can chart our destiny. We can see the way through any problem. We can overcome any mountain. We can get through any obstacle. And sadly that arrogance of heart is going to be part of humanity until the world virtually destroys itself. Word not for the intervention of God in his son Jesus Christ. We have a tendency to only fervently start calling on God when things start spinning out of control. There's something in us all of us that says we can get through this. We can see our way. We can chart our course. We can win the victory. We can climb the mountain. We can do it. But God says not my people. I'm not going to allow my people to live under that illusion. And to stop you from thinking that you can get through this life in your own strength I'm going to place some things in front of you that to prove to you that you can't. You are not strong enough to overcome what will be set before you. You are not powerful enough to get through it. You're not smart enough to figure it out. There are going to be obstacles placed before you. Every every saint of God you'll face this. You're not facing it today. You will face it in the days to come. You and I will not be able to get through in our own strength by the mercy of God. And these giants are allowed by God to daily stand in opposition to our journey for one reason. That God is constantly trying to get through to his people one thought. You are not God. I am. Remember the disciples they got into the boat and they had a promise. Let's pass over to the other side just like you and I have a promise today. And so they started to roll and things were going well and they were skilled at what they were doing. They were not novices to the sea. But suddenly a giant storm with giant wind and giant waves comes their way. It's something they've not encountered before. Something that they're not familiar with. Something that caused them to believe in spite of all their skill that they were going to perish at that particular moment. And it's at that moment that they called out to God who was in the boat with them. Jesus stood up and said three words. Peace be still. To prove one more time that we can't get through these storms in our own strength. We can't overcome everything by our own reasoning. Folks we need the word of God. We need the presence of Christ. We need the person of Christ. We need God in us to get us through the days that we're going to have to face individually and collectively as a people. The victory comes when you and I as King David was are willing to stand against the giants which oppose us for one reason. Israel found itself on a mountainside opposed by a giant that no one in their human bravado reasoning training or strength could face or fight. And God had to one more time turn to somebody. Find somebody in the form this time of a young man who'd eventually become the king of Israel. Who came into that camp and he knew he didn't have the strength to fight this giant in the natural. He knew that he didn't have the training. He knew he didn't have the armor. But he had one thing that God was looking for and one thing that I feel with all my heart the Holy Spirit is looking for in the church of Jesus Christ today. He had a willingness to face every giant that would ever be put in front of him for one reason and one reason alone. He said I will face it for the glory of God. I'll face it for the honor of God. I'll face it for the name of God. I'll go against this undeniably superior odds that are against me to prove so all may see and all may know David said that there is a God in Israel. That God is on the throne. That God is alive. That God is reigning. That God chooses the foolish things of the world. He chooses the weak things. Things which are despised. Things which are nothing to bring to nothing. Things that are that no flesh can glory in his presence. Paul says therefore him that glories let him glory in the Lord. God is looking for a people again in this last hour of time that will rise up in our weakness. Rise up and say listen I have a promise of God and no giant is going to keep me from it. No power of hell is going to stop me. The Lord is looking for a people again in this generation who can say like the apostle Paul I'm persuaded no height nor depth no power no angel no principality no name that is named. Nothing can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. I am convinced. I am convinced that I have an inheritance in Christ and nothing can separate me from it. Praise be to God. Praise be to God. Praise be to God. Go to Psalm 18 please if you will just for a moment with me. Psalm 18 verses 1 to 7. This is the testimony of David the king of Israel the man after God's heart. Here's what he says I will love thee O Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock my fortress my deliverer my God my strength in whom I will trust my buckler the horn of my salvation and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised and so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The showers of death compassed me the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The showers of hell compassed me about the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I call upon the Lord and I cried unto my God and he heard my voice out of his temple and my cry came before him even into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken because he was wroth. Did you know today that God hates your enemies more than you ever could? Did you know that he's waiting for an opportunity to show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are right towards him? Those who come to God and say Lord would you consider the threatenings against me and for the glory of your name God for the glory of your name would you take me over or through this mountain would you bring me through this flood would you walk me through this fire would you give me the power to overcome this giant would you open this prison door God would you take me from image to image in glory to glory by the spirit of the Lord would you do it for one reason that I may sing the praises of your name in this generation that I may walk through when men's hearts are failing them for fear when all the human strategies in our generation have failed when the seas are roaring and men's hearts are failing them when disease and pestilence are ravaging nation after nation when war breaks out on every side God almighty you will have a person in me that is just simply going to walk through with a song of not stopped by anything I see around me I have an inheritance in my Christ that's what's going to separate those that are gods in this generation from those that are not because we're living in a time according to the writer of Hebrews that everything that can be shaken will be shaken everything that professes to be godly but is not built on the truth of God will be shaken but those that are gods will be strong according to the book of Daniel and will do exploits they will walk where no one else has walked they will go through what very few are able to go through they will stand sovereignly empowered by the Holy Ghost I believe it as surely as I live I believe this with all of my heart Acts chapter 4 you'll find that in Psalm 18 when David prayed the last verse we read I believe verse 7 says the hills were moved and were shaken because he was wroth there was this shaking in Acts chapter 4 that the early disciples the early church were threatened by the powers around them called before religious and in measure civil powers and told you must stop speaking this name you're intending to bring this man's death on all of us it was exposing the bankruptcy of their theology because the power of God was flowing through those disciples and they threatened them the scripture says they threatened them just like a Goliath a voice said this far no farther you'll stop right here you'll speak this name no more I know some of you are living under those threatenings right now and I have every reason to believe they will increase in the days ahead verse 21 says when they had further threatened them they let them go finding nothing how they might punish them Acts chapter 4 verse 21 because of the people for all men glorified God for that which was done for the man was above 40 years old on whom this miracle of healing was showed and being let go they went to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them and when they heard that they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said Lord thou art God which has made heaven and the earth and the sea and all that in them is who by the mouth of thy servant David has said why did the heathen rage in the people imagine vain things in other words why do those who oppose the kingdom of God advancing why do they imagine they can stop God from doing what God wants to do how foolish and vain for that which is created to believe that it can stop the advance of that of the one who created them the kings of the earth stood up verse 26 and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ for of a truth against thy holy child Jesus whom thou has anointed both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and the people of Israel were gathered together in other words for this early church it seemed like everything was against them not just one Goliath on the other side of a but it seemed now the whole society was rising up there seemed to be a a common threatening voice against the advance of that which we know today to be the church of Jesus Christ but in verse 28 they say for it to do whatever thy hand of thy counsel determined before to be done in other words they're standing up and they're they're threatening this to stop the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ but yet all they're doing is what you have allowed them to do from before the creation of the world this early church knew that God was in absolute control of everything nothing was out of his control if the giants were there they were there for a reason and I do believe with all my heart the only reason ever has been that the glory of God might be known and now Lord verse 29 behold their threatenings and grant unto thy servants and with all boldness they may speak thy word by stretching forth thy hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus God do what only you can do come and empower us come and give us a holy boldness that's birthed in the love of God for fallen humanity cause us oh God to speak when everyone else says we should be silent stretch forth your hand through us oh God and bring healing everywhere we go bring healing heal the oppressed heal God those that are sick in their mind bring healing to the fearful bring healing God to the widow bring healing to the orphan bring healing to the hungry God stretch forth your hand that has to be the cry of your heart and my heart in this generation we can't just pray to survive folks that falls far short of the glory of God if ever there was a time that we need to press through it's now Lord let healing begin to flow through your vessel through you not just me not just a few in the church but through you God let healing begin to flow let lives begin to be transformed let the glorious power of Christ begin to flow through this on these earthen vessels verse 31 says and when they had prayed the place where they were assembled together they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and the place was shaken rather where they were assembled together remember the shaking in Psalm 18 they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and they spoke the Word of God with boldness the place where they were was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost that's God's answer to every giant that you and I will ever have to face to be filled with the Holy Ghost to be filled with the Spirit of Almighty God to be sovereignly and supernaturally empowered by God who cannot fail he will not fail he cannot fail he can't be anything else but what he is from everlasting to everlasting he said I am God I do not change he has intertwined the honor of his name with you and I in bringing us through whatever we have to face not crawling over the finish line but coming through in victory coming through with a song of praise coming through having triumph over everything that was ever set against us this is the finest hour for the church of Jesus Christ if you can hear what the Spirit is speaking to his church there's never been a finer hour than this one never been a deeper time that you and I need to the deep need in our heart has to call out to the deep resources of our Christ never a time that you and I should call out more than we do now God Almighty shake the place where I am shake the foundation that Satan has tried to build under our feet and tell us this is as far as you're going to go might as well build here may as well stay here may as well exist here may as well just praise here but you're going to stop here you're going no farther we got to pray in this generation God shake that foundation shake that foundation and take us now to another place lift us out of this place that the enemy would try to place our feet upon and put us upon the only rock that will stand in the coming storms the rock Christ Jesus praise be to God back in Psalm 18 again this is the cry of David verse 17 he said he delivered me from my strong enemy and from them which hated me for they were too strong for me verse 29 for by thee I've run through a troop and by my God I have leaped over a wall David said it didn't matter how violent the opposition was or how many they were hallelujah no wonder he's called a man after God's heart no wonder God's spirit was upon him in such great measure and by my God he said I've leaped over a wall no matter what the enemy put in front of me I wasn't looking for any natural means to get over it or around it I turned to God with all my heart as I've always done and he proved himself to be faithful to me verse 33 makes my feet like hinds feet and sets me upon my high places he gives me the power to climb what ordinary men can't climb and to go places where natural men can't go and to accomplish things that natural men can't do he teaches my hands to war so the bow of steel is broken by mine arms in other words no matter how sovereign or powerful the weaponry of my enemy seems to be God with nothing in my hands but a confidence in him David said gave me the power to snatch a bowl of steel and literally break it in two to realize that the weaponry of the enemy is an all defeated weaponry it's just a show it does not have the last word it has no permanent power in it verse 37 he says I pursued my enemies and I've overtaken them and neither did I turn again till they were consumed I've wounded them that they're not able to rise they're fallen under my feet verse 42 then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind and I cast them out as dirt in the streets this is what the Lord wants to do with everything that is opposing you going forward and becoming everything that God intends you to be for the glory of his name verse 46 he says the Lord liveth and blessed be my rock and let the God of my salvation be exalted it's God that avenges me and subdues the people under me he delivers me from my enemies yea thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me and thou has delivered me from the violent man therefore will I give thanks unto thee O Lord among the heathen and sing praises to thy name great deliverance giveth he to his king and showed mercy to his anointed to David and to his seed forevermore David said therefore I'll give thanks to thee O Lord among the heathen I will walk among those who don't know you as a living testimony of your power I will open my mouth and I will tell others what you have done for me that's the testimony of the church of Jesus Christ it's not just a series of facts and figures about God that we present to this generation it's not sufficient to throw a tract on somebody's desk and hope that's going to make a difference as good as that may be no God has a living testimony in the earth of the fact that he is God of the fact that he sovereignly has all power of the fact that he can take anybody through anything that this world has to throw at them he can give power to overcome the most fierce of opposition that will ever come against you and God says I'm going to give you as I gave to David and I'm going to give it to his seed he said forevermore now the seed of David is the church of Jesus Christ we know that I don't have time to prove that but that is David is in the lineage of Christ we are that seed he said I'm going to give that seed a song and that song is going to be sung among the heathen you're going to sing it in your family you're going to sing it in your apartment building you're going to sing it in your workplace you're going to sing it on the street when everyone else around you might be terrified and finally coming to their wits end you've only begun to scratch the glory that God wants to give to his own name through your life faith will begin to arise in your heart like never before don't be stopped by the opposition that's against you today don't be silenced don't build on a foundation and worship at a place that is short of the victory that is yours in Christ Jesus don't settle for mediocrity when the power of God is at your disposal don't buy the lie that you're going to go this far and no farther don't give in to the voice that screams at you every morning that you're you have no education that you're you have no power you can't speak you have no ability you have no testimony you why would anybody listen to you don't listen to those voices don't listen to these things do like David did take a promise from the word of God find a promise for your life and run into that valley and face that giant and say you come to me with weapons and swords but he said I come to you in the name of the God of all hosts the God of Israel I come to you in the name of the one that by your vocal opposition you've defied not men you've defied not the armies of Israel you've defied the God of the armies of Israel you've defied him and David took that promise and ran to meet that giant and folks you've got to do this now you cannot just settle in and settle for some plan b substandard form of Christian victory don't try to figure it out get a promise from God and run towards whatever that thing is it's trying to stop you in your tracks I've lived this I've known this I've walked this it's become part of my life praise be to God folks stand against your enemies now in the power of God you don't have to figure it out you don't have to have the strength to get around it as a matter of fact you don't have the strength that's why the giants are there in front of you but when you turn to God and say Lord honor your name take this weak foolish vessel God and confound that which says I can't go any further confound these demonic powers confound this opposition that stands against me and says this far and no farther in my life praise be to God therefore he says as David he I will give thee thanks O Lord among the heathen I will sing praises to thy name not just in church but there'll be something so deep done in my life that outside of church I won't have a choice but to sing praises to your name I will be compelled because there will be a song in me remember David spoke about this song in the Psalms he said the Lord heard my cry he lifted me out of a miry pit he put my feet on a solid rock and he said he put a song in my mouth and many will see it and fear and turn to the Lord a song that's not heard it's seen a song of confidence in God a song of victory in our Christ a song that is not found in anything of the natural man and it's not found anywhere in this world but it is found in God hallelujah I remember folks I remember when I came to Christ you know my story after nine years of fear and hell of God in just a minute of time and it was really a minute setting me free from all these years of having to take Valium and other things and trying to conquer an incredible fear in my heart that had gripped my life and for all intents and purposes without the intervention of God would have kept me all most of my days I don't know if I ever would have gotten free from this thing but in a moment of time I found a promise in this book if God before us who can be against us all I had I didn't have a dump truck full of pebbles I had one stone like David had and went downstairs in my living room and faced that giant that had dominated my life and tried to tell me that one day I would die because of these attacks that would come on me and I stood against that giant and in 30 seconds of time to a minute I was completely set free that's many many many years ago now by God's grace I will never ever ever go back there never ever I'd rather die than go back to that place I want to challenge you with everything in me get up and fight but do it for the right reason fight for the glory of God when the Lord set me free I couldn't stop speaking his name I got me into a lot of trouble and a lot of opposition came but I couldn't stop I could not stop speaking his name and in spite of the opposition men and women started coming to Christ on the left and on the right all over the place because they saw a song they saw something that had nothing to do with circumstance it was an inner song something of confidence and a trust in almighty God this generation needs to see this kind of worship again it's it's good that they can come to this house and hear us singing through it all through it all I've learned to trust in Jesus that's wonderful that we can invite people and they can hear that but are they hearing that song on Monday in the office are they are they hearing it in the grocery store when you only have 15 to get through the week on food are they hearing that song through it all I've learned to trust in Jesus and is it a song that's real is it really in your heart in your neighborhood when everybody is muttering about the inability to accomplish or to move or to socially advance or to go anywhere are they hearing your song oh I'm going somewhere I'm really going somewhere God is taking me somewhere it's amazing this journey I'm on folks if if people in New York City would hear this song through the body of Christ it would be amazing the number that would come to him this song of victory that only God can give hallelujah to the Lamb of God therefore will I give thanks to thee O Lord among the heathen and sing praises to thy name Father thank you Lord thank you God that you give abilities Lord and you give victories to those who trust you I'm asking you Lord today in this house for incredible spiritual victory I'm asking Father for faith to arise in the hearts of your people and the people would stand up and lifelong lifelong bondages would be broken lifelong fears would be overcome lifelong wrong impressions would be destroyed you said in your word Lord that you give us the power to cast down imaginations and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God in Jesus Christ and so Lord I'm asking today God that everyone who's embraced a wrong image everyone who's living under this voice that says this far no farther would stand and face this giant and see its utter and total defeat in a moment of time Lord you are inviting us into something you're inviting us as a church into an incredible victory you're inviting us into the fullness of your life you're inviting us Lord to walk with you and glorify your name by being made into people we could never hope to be and take it places we could never hope to go help us Lord help us God not to do what the children of Israel did help us God not to turn back help us Lord to go in to this place of promise with whatever little strength we have and a full heart of confidence in our God thank you Father God you're going to destroy these weapons of hell and you're going to do it at this altar you're going to do it in the next few minutes I believe it God with all my heart I thank you for it in Jesus name now we're going to go into a moment of worship now as we do I'm going to ask those in the annex who want to to stand and step between the screens here in the main sanctuary make your way to this altar and you know who you are God is speaking to you your heart is burning it looks impossible and probably is to you but it's not impossible to God and God is speaking something to your heart a place that he wants to take you into or out of either or it has to start by coming out of something before you can go into somewhere else but you've just given into these voices for too long it's now time to move ahead in faith would you join these who are already at this altar as we stand together and we're going to worship for the next 20 minutes or so get your victory when you come here let God speak to your heart that you've won this battle every so often there is a day and there is a moment in the life as believers where the Holy Spirit comes upon us and says today you are different that you have come to me and it's been years of a lifelong struggle or something that you felt in your heart of hearts you could never win over it was too deep in the character and you came into this place and in your heart there was a despair and God knew it and he's saying this day I've shown you that who has been speaking to you and saying this far and no farther has only been a giant it's only been a giant and we sang today giants die giants die hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah it is not true it is not the Spirit of God that told you this far and no farther that was an enemy and this day the Spirit of God has said I am with you my hand is upon you I am putting and I have put promises in your heart and my spirit is with you and
