1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:03,300
We're in week 4 of possible. 
I pray that this Series has been

2
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:06,000
helpful to you. 
To think that God, who did The 

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,400
Impossible Vin still does the 
impossible things. 

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,800
Now, he makes what seems 
impossible to you possible 

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,800
because of his goodness and his 
mercy and his love. 

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,400
So today's message and week for 
is called where courage comes 

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,800
from, and when I say that you 
should go. 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Mmm, where courage comes from, 
Yeah. 

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,600
Sounds like a group of people 
been fasting. 

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,600
A long time. 
Let's begin today. 

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,000
With the end in mind. 
So having an idea of where we're

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
headed from the very beginning 
by singing, A Hymn of our faith,

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,400
that is older and beautiful, and
wonderful. 

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,200
You may know this him and you 
may not know this him. 

15
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:54,100
If you do know it, I need you to
sing with gusto Gusto. 

16
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:55,900
However, he said that word, and 
if you don't know the him, I 

17
00:00:55,908 --> 00:00:58,700
want you to fake. 
It like you do and just like let

18
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:00,500
words and sounds come out of 
your mouth. 

19
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:01,700
Are you ready? 
Say yes. 

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000
The words will be up here. 
Here we go. 

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,100
Oh Victory in Jesus, my Savior 
forever. 

22
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:19,800
You know what he saw me and Bob 
me with his redeeming blood, he 

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,000
loved me ere. 
I knew him. 

24
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:31,700
And all my love is due him. 
He plunged me to Victory beneath

25
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:39,300
the cleansing flood. 
Y'all sound great Victory. 

26
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,200
We are going to fight some 
Giants today, and the Giants are

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,300
going to lose some of you like 
that. 

28
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:48,000
If you're an Eagles fan, but the
Giants of our lives are going to

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,000
lose and Heads Will Roll. 
You may have forgotten this part

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,600
of the story of David and 
Goliath. 

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,500
And they don't teach it in VBS 
very often Tish probably does 

32
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:05,500
because she's like a strict 
Bible person. 

33
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,199
Like we're learning the whole 
Bible not parts of the Bible but

34
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:15,800
David chops off the head of 
Goliath. 

35
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:21,100
Sing. 
I love this. 

36
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:25,100
I mean, Why does he do that? 
I'm just trying to picture a VBS

37
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:26,500
teacher, trying to teach this 
like, okay? 

38
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,400
Then David Seung to slingshot 
and the giant fell down and then

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,100
he dropped off his hat. 
Why would you chop off a head? 

40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,200
And there's a few reasons but 
the one I want to focus on just 

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,300
for a second. 
Here is just like to make sure 

42
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:44,800
it's really dead. because I 
don't know about you, if you 

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,900
ever have these Giants who get 
like these Terminator bodies and

44
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:53,700
you think that they're dead, But
then their eyes are guilty and 

45
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,100
it comes back to visit you and 
you have this moment of panic 

46
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,400
and almost causes you to lose 
your faith. 

47
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,700
Like God, I thought this giant 
was dead. 

48
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:05,800
So today we're going to chop off
the heads. 

49
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:08,700
Of some Giants. 
Heads Will Roll. 

50
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:11,800
I believe it's victory season 
for Luminate church, I believe 

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,900
it's a season where you things 
that you have seen as battles, 

52
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:17,100
your entire life. 
And have even said to yourself, 

53
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:20,000
man, this is The Thorn In My 
Flesh and some things are thorns

54
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,800
in the flesh that God leaves on 
purpose, so that you can know 

55
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,300
the sufficiency of his grace. 
But there's other things that 

56
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:28,100
have been visiting you for far 
too long and God wants to give 

57
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:30,800
you freedom from those Giants 
and see their heads roll. 

58
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,100
So it's victory season for at 
church. 

59
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:35,400
When I say in this, you should 
feel something bubbling up in 

60
00:03:35,408 --> 00:03:36,700
your spirit that makes you want 
to go. 

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,700
Yes. 
Yes, praise God. 

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
So, if you're ready for a 
victory in your life today, say 

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,300
I'm ready, okay? 
Faith comes by hearing and that 

64
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:51,400
of God's word, so let's turn 
there. 

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,700
Now, we're going to be in the 
book of 1st Samuel, in your 

66
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,000
Bibles, Samuel Kings, 
Chronicles. 

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,400
That's the order for a second 
for a second. 

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
For a second Joshua, Judges 
Ruth, right. 

69
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,700
After that, you're going to find
First Samuel and we're in the 

70
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:08,500
17th chapter, and we're going to
plop right in the middle of The 

71
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:11,500
story of David and Goliath. 
If you've never heard the story,

72
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,800
go back and read all of 16 and 
17, I'm going to reference a lot

73
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000
of it today. 
But let's begin here in verse 

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,600
32, David says to Saul let no 
one lose heart on account of 

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,700
this Philistine Goliath, your 
servants will go and fight them.

76
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,900
And Saul replied, you're not 
able to go out against this 

77
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:34,900
Philistine and fight him. 
You're only a young man and he 

78
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,100
has been a Warrior from his 
youth. 

79
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,400
But David said to Saul your 
servant, has been keeping his 

80
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,500
father's sheep. 
When a lion or bear came and 

81
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,100
carried off, a sheep from the 
flock. 

82
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:47,600
I went after it struck it and 
rescue the sheep from its mouth.

83
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:50,000
When it turned on me, I seized 
it by its hair. 

84
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Struck it and killed it. 
Notice like this, the same thing

85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,500
that happens later, he knocks 
out the lion and the bear, and 

86
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:00,900
he goes over there to get the 
sheep and then the line of bear,

87
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,100
like we're not dead yet. 
So he grabs her by the hair 

88
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,500
strikes it again and kills it 
verse 36. 

89
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,700
Your servant has killed both The
Lion and the bear. 

90
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:13,700
This uncircumcised Philistine 
will be like one of them because

91
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,000
he has defied the armies of the 
Living. 

92
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,500
God. 
The Lord, who rescued me from 

93
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:20,900
the Paw of The Lion and the Paw 
of the bear will rescue me from 

94
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:26,000
the hand of this Philistine. 
Saul said to David Go and the 

95
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,700
Lord be with you. 
Then saw dress David and his own

96
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:32,200
tunic. 
He put on a coat of armor on him

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400
and a bronze helmet on his head.
David fastened on his sword over

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,500
the tunic and tried walking 
around, and then because he was 

99
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:40,800
not used to them and he says, I 
cannot go in these because I'm 

100
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,900
not used to them. 
So he took them off. 

101
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,300
Then he took his staff in his 
hand, chose five smooth stones 

102
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:51,700
from the stream, put them in the
pouch of a Shepherds bag. 

103
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,200
And with the sling in his hand 
approached the Philistine and 

104
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,000
you can read the rest of the 
story, but let me Just summarize

105
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,200
it this down, went Goliath. 
Glory to God. 

106
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:06,500
You want to talk about 
impossible? 

107
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:09,700
Here's a Shepherd boy with no 
training in the Army who does 

108
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:13,400
with the trained. 
Army was unwilling to afraid 

109
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,900
unable to do an entire trained 
Army. 

110
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:19,000
Unable to do what an untrained 
Shepherd boy do. 

111
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,800
That's impossible yet. 
God makes all things. 

112
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,300
Hmm, it takes out a 9-foot 
giant. 

113
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:31,100
I wish I had one come stand 
behind me so we could comprehend

114
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:34,300
how large a 9-foot person is 
Right. 

115
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Massive For 40 days. 
Every day Goliath would come out

116
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,400
and stand in front of the 
Israelite. 

117
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,300
The entire Israelite Army and 
say, taunting them, send me 

118
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,400
somebody to fight me. 
You dirty dogs since somebody to

119
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:59,200
fight me and we'll decide who 
rules over, who the winner rules

120
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,500
over the people of the loser, 
the winner won't rule over the 

121
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:04,500
person because that person be 
dead. 

122
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,200
So, one of us will die. 
And then the winner will rule 

123
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:15,900
over the rest, 40 days in a row.
And every time that Goliath 

124
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:21,000
showed up the scripture records,
That the Israelites shook. 

125
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,500
Then they ran and then they hid 
and the spirit of fear and 

126
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:34,500
despair hovered over the camp. 
Talk about a terrible way to 

127
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:37,500
live. 
Right. 

128
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,200
So just everybody lean in for a 
second here, just just come on. 

129
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:42,900
Thank you. 
Thank you. 

130
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:44,500
Let me, let me just ask you a 
question. 

131
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,700
Look at my eyeballs. 
How long has it been taunting? 

132
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:52,700
You. 
How long? 

133
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,900
Every day. 
Twice a day, all day, every day.

134
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Does your giant stand in front 
of you and taunt. 

135
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,500
You saying the same things 
repeatedly. 

136
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:10,400
You'll never get over this. 
You'll never break free from 

137
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,200
this. 
This is what you're doomed to 

138
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,400
you deserve this. 
You dirty dog. 

139
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,700
So let's have a fight. 
You and me says the giant to you

140
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,600
and whoever wins will rule over 
the other. 

141
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:30,800
What's your giant? 
I think it's important that we 

142
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:33,600
go ahead and identify it. 
So we're not talking about 

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,400
something ethereal or amorphous 
or theoretical, but we're 

144
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,700
dealing with something that's 
been in your life for too long. 

145
00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:43,299
That's been taunting. 
You daily. 

146
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,500
Is an addiction. 
Is it anxiety? 

147
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,100
Perhaps you have a short fuse. 
Maybe you have a physical 

148
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:05,900
malady, it's been taunting you. 
Depression. 

149
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:11,700
Lust greed. 
The need to be noticed, Pride 

150
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:17,100
ego materialism. 
A son or a daughter who is far 

151
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,600
from the Lord. 
A spouse, a family member who's 

152
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:22,500
far from the Lord and the giant 
taunts. 

153
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:24,000
You saying they'll never be 
saved. 

154
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,300
They're going to hell. 
Maybe something about your 

155
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:34,400
physical appearance bothers you.
maybe there's a lingering wound 

156
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,100
from your childhood that stands 
in front of you like on the 

157
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:44,500
regular and taunts you I've 
heard dozens upon dozens of 

158
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:48,100
messages on David and Goliath 
maybe you have to, as I was 

159
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:50,200
studying it over the past few 
weeks. 

160
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,200
I feel like the Lord revealed to
me, a few things that I'd never 

161
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,100
seen before that. 
I want to share with you to help

162
00:09:56,100 --> 00:10:00,700
you overcome your giant, the 
way, the David overcame his and 

163
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:03,300
here's the good news hear me 
now. 

164
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:08,300
Believe me later the same God, 
who rescued David from his giant

165
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,000
is the same God who is Lord of 
your life and what he did for 

166
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,700
David, what he did for the 
Israelites he can do for you. 

167
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:22,800
It's not impossible. 
What he did for David was 

168
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400
impossible, but he made it 
possible. 

169
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,700
So, today is Victory. 
Season. 

170
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,900
Giants will fall and Heads Will 
Roll. 

171
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,100
Amen. 
Are you here to our say? 

172
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,100
Yes. 
Come on. 

173
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,600
So, where does courage come 
from? 

174
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,200
It wasn't like David was just 
sitting there and like, ate some

175
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,900
spinach and then he was 
courageous or he had a mean 

176
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,400
moment and became the Hulk and 
suddenly he's boom. 

177
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,300
Like doing these things, he 
wasn't born courageous, he was 

178
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:56,900
given courage. 
David was the youngest of eight 

179
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:59,700
brothers that in alone. 
Takes some courage. 

180
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:01,000
Can you imagine the dinner 
table? 

181
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:08,300
Like, all right, here's the 
food, boots, David like He was 

182
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:12,700
kind of we can surmise a few 
things from the scripture. 

183
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:15,300
Like he's just like hey the rest
of us are going to be at the 

184
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,200
house hanging out together, 
David. 

185
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,500
You're going to be working with 
the stupid smelly sheep. 

186
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,200
But we're here at the house. 
In fact, you go read 1st Samuel 

187
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,700
16, you'll learn that Samuel who
the book is named after the 

188
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,500
priest of the Israelites. 
At that time has been told by 

189
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:38,800
God to go and find a replacement
for Saul. 

190
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,000
Saul was the first king of 
Israel. 

191
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
We're really God, was the first 
king in the people are like we 

192
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
want to be like other nations. 
Give us a human King and guys, 

193
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,300
like I don't think that's a good
idea but they pleaded with him 

194
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,700
and so God said, okay here you 
go. 

195
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:53,900
You get salt and he started well
but he ended very poorly. 

196
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,200
Turned his back on God really in
pride and arrogance. 

197
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:02,500
He turned away from God so God 
says Sam and we need to find a 

198
00:12:02,508 --> 00:12:04,700
new king. 
I'm sending you to the house of 

199
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:07,900
Jesse. 
He has eight sons from his sons.

200
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:12,100
You will know which one you are 
to anoint as the new king So 

201
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:16,000
Samuel arrives at Jesse's house 
and the oldest son, comes 

202
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,200
forward and he is tall, he is 
handsome, and he is rugged and 

203
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Samuel thinks to himself. 
This must be the king is a head 

204
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,100
taller than Everybody else. 
He's the wow. 

205
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:28,500
And then we can just somewhat 
famous scripture. 

206
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:30,200
God says, don't look at his 
appearance, man. 

207
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,200
Looks at the outer, but God 
looks at the inner man, looks at

208
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,100
the appearance, God looks at the
heart, he ain't the one. 

209
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,900
Neither was number two, number 
three, and four five, six, all 

210
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:42,900
the seven sons and we family 
gets to the end. 

211
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:48,700
He's like, do you have any 
others and I like, well, Got 

212
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:54,800
this younger brother out there. 
Let's just think about this for 

213
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000
a minute. 
There is an event happening at 

214
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,900
home, where they're selecting 
the next king of Israel. 

215
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:07,500
From the sons of Jesse and David
doesn't get invited. 

216
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:11,600
What does that do to David 
psyche? 

217
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:16,800
Like, you're not even picked. 
Last, you weren't even in a pool

218
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,100
to be picked. 
Thanks. 

219
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:28,600
So they bring David in and the 
Lord says the same with this 

220
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:34,600
one, through all of this, David 
finds courage to defeat the 

221
00:13:34,608 --> 00:13:36,800
giant. 
But I'm trying to tell you, he 

222
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,900
didn't start that way. 
And the reason I'm telling you 

223
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:43,200
that is because you may feel 
like, however, old you, are you 

224
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,500
still don't have courage to face
your giant. 

225
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:47,400
In fact, you may feel the 
opposite of it which is 

226
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,400
discouraged. 
It is taunted. 

227
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,300
You so often and so long that 
you feel like I'm just wave the 

228
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,400
White Flag to this giant, it's 
not as part of my life and I'm 

229
00:13:56,408 --> 00:14:00,400
going to deal with it somehow. 
Just kind of cope. 

230
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,300
With this giant. 
The guy can give you courage. 

231
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,300
God can give you courage. 
So, where does this courage come

232
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:11,100
from? 
I'm going to tell you two things

233
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,600
and when you see the two things 
you'd be like, duh at first. 

234
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,100
But instead of saying, do I want
you to say whoa. 

235
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,400
Okay, are you ready? 
Let's crack this one. 

236
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Two, three. 
Yeah, here's the two things that

237
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,900
give you courage. 
Number one, Holy Spirit, a 

238
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:27,200
number to training. 
I'm going to spend a short time 

239
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,600
on Spirit today because we're 
going to focus on Holy Spirit, a

240
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,200
lot next week and a much more 
time on training because I 

241
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:37,700
believe that most Christians, 
Ins aren't properly trained to 

242
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:40,800
face their Giants if they were. 
We see a lot more headless 

243
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,800
bodies in the streets. 
Amen. 

244
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,100
Which means you hear more 
testimonies of victory. 

245
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:51,600
You hear more breakthroughs and 
people running and freedom 

246
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,700
because we've been trained to 
deal with, there are giants the 

247
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:57,800
way that David has. 
So let's talk about Spirit 

248
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,200
first. 
And first, Samuel 16 we get to 

249
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,500
the end of the picking of King's
Story. 

250
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,200
And here is Samuel anointing 
David. 

251
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,600
It says in verse 13. 
So Samuel took the Horn of oil 

252
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,400
and anointed David in the 
presence of his brothers. 

253
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,800
And from that day on the spirit 
of the Lord Came powerfully Upon

254
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,200
David. 
Same with him, went to Rhema 

255
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,700
very next verse verse 14. 
Now, the spirit of the Lord had 

256
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:33,100
departed from Saul and an evil 
spirit from the Lord tormented 

257
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,800
Saul. 
What? 

258
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:40,200
It's going to shake some 
theology in the room and evil 

259
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,300
spirit, from the Lord came and 
tormented Soul. 

260
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:48,700
Also, the spirit of the spirit 
comes and falls on David in one 

261
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,100
verse. 
And in the next verse of reading

262
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,400
that the spirit has departed 
from Saul, let's talk about the 

263
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,800
Holy Spirit in the Old 
Testament, just for a moment. 

264
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:59,800
The Holy Spirit wasn't dispersed
to all people as he is now in 

265
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,700
the church age and the age post 
Jesus Christ in the Old 

266
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,700
Testament, the spirit would come
in at certain places and at 

267
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:11,400
certain times to do certain 
things to endure imbue. 

268
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:15,700
What's the word, give? 
People Supernatural ability that

269
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,200
they wouldn't have on their own.
We read in Genesis that the 

270
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,300
spirit was there in creation, 
read in Psalm 104. 

271
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,500
That the spirit is the very 
thing that gives breath to all 

272
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:29,000
living things spirit and breath 
in the Old Testaments, the same 

273
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
word rule, ah it's a fun word to
say that's an actual word I 

274
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,100
wasn't just clearing my throat. 
Right, the spirit Came Upon 

275
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:43,000
judges and Warriors and profits 
in a way that gave him this 

276
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,700
extraordinary power. 
You read about Joshua and 

277
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:47,200
numbers. 
And in the Book of Judges, you 

278
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,200
read about people like oath 
Miele and Deborah and Samson and

279
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800
Gideon. 
One of my heroes are all heroes.

280
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:58,000
The spirit was crucial in 
helping, God's people anticipate

281
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,600
the ministry of Messiah. 
When Isaiah, the prophet said, 

282
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,400
the spirit of the Lord is upon 
me. 

283
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:07,400
Because he has anointed me to 
preach, good news to the poor. 

284
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,300
And then he goes on to say other
things but all of that happened 

285
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,099
because the spirit showed up at 
a certain time in a certain 

286
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:17,700
place for a certain reason 
through a person to do these 

287
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:21,900
great works. 
David was filled with the Holy 

288
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:27,599
Spirit and therefore he did, 
Holy Spirit aided fangs, And 

289
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,000
Saul did not. 
Because the spirit of departed 

290
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,400
from him, solid gone into the 
temple and done something. 

291
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,000
The priests only do but Stalin 
is arrogance. 

292
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,100
Tried to usurp God's Temple and 
went in and burn a fire. 

293
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:48,500
He wasn't meant to burn and God 
turned on Saul Why? 

294
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,600
Listen, I know that we want God 
to be warm and cuddly. 

295
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:58,200
We want God if you're a good 
good father, right? 

296
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:02,000
I run to the father like I saw 
this beautiful these. 

297
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:09,400
I just love my daddy, right? 
but the Lord sent an evil spirit

298
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:13,600
to torment Saul, How do these to
compute? 

299
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:18,300
How do these two work together? 
Now, when you see the word evil,

300
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:21,000
don't think evil. 
Like Devil evil, like Halloween 

301
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,400
Horror Nights evil, evil really?
In the scripture means troubling

302
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,200
not immoral, not deceptive, not 
up to, no good. 

303
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,700
But up to the purposes of God, 
Saul is the only person that 

304
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:34,500
this happened to in the 
scripture because Saul was the 

305
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:38,600
first king of Israel. 
He's setting a precedent to lead

306
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,400
the people to follow God and to 
bless all nations in this 

307
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,800
alternative. 
Back on God and the wrath of 

308
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,000
God, then comes upon Saul. 
And this tormenting Spirit comes

309
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,800
and trouble saw two. 
Disciplines all, remember God 

310
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,700
disciplines those. 
He loves he loves Saul. 

311
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,300
The spirit was meant in love. 
To lead them to repentance and 

312
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:02,600
correction. 
Not only force all that for the 

313
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,600
nation, but this troubling 
Spirit came because God is love.

314
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,200
Yes, he's warm and cuddly, but 
he's also Wrath. 

315
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:13,500
Injustice, he's Grace, but he's 
also a warring God. 

316
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,000
We don't want to warm and cuddly
guy when he's facing the devil. 

317
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,600
You want a nice soft, pretty. 
Angel to go play pattycake, with

318
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,900
the devil. 
You want one of these menacing 

319
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,700
mean angels to go in DeLand to 
war. 

320
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,800
But the enemy and this time, 
he's dealing with Saul because 

321
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,100
of the wrath of God. 
Now, here's the good news for 

322
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,500
us. 
We live on this side of the 

323
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,200
blood of Jesus. 
In the person of Jesus Pastor 

324
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,700
Kim led us through communion 
saying that his blood was shed 

325
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:48,700
for us to pay for our sins. 
And because of it, we now can 

326
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:50,600
have right relationship with 
God. 

327
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:55,800
And the Holy Spirit has now been
distributed to all of us and the

328
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,300
wrath of God has been appeased 
by Jesus for those who believe 

329
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:02,700
in Jesus. 
So I don't want any here to 

330
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:04,500
worry, like you're going to 
drive out there and you can say,

331
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:07,100
a bad word and the Lord's going 
to send you a tormenting spirit.

332
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,500
I give you evil spirit. 
If you believe in Jesus, the 

333
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:16,000
holy spirit's been given to you 
and the evil spirits have 

334
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,400
departed from you, the 
tormenting spirits but David has

335
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,800
been given the Holy Spirit and 
in the church age. 

336
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:24,600
Now today the Holy Spirit has 
been distributed to all 

337
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,800
believers. 
Every single person in here, has

338
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,800
the ability to fully operate in 
the Holy Spirit, everyone's been

339
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600
given the Holy Spirit, you may 
not have received the holy 

340
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,200
spirit yet, but you've been 
given it. 

341
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:38,500
But when you receive the Holy 
Spirit, then we act very much 

342
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,200
like David, which means what we 
we do in the natural is super 

343
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,300
naturally aided. 
Hmm. 

344
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
I put it like this when 
empowered by Holy Spirit. 

345
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,700
The natural is touched by the 
Supernatural and that's when 

346
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:58,700
Giants start to fall. 
There are some things that 

347
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:01,100
you're going to learn to 
practice in the natural that 

348
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:04,000
when you do that and they are 
divinely touched by God. 

349
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:07,600
Supernaturally, the Giants will 
fall in front of you, the issue 

350
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,800
in America. 
And even the American church is 

351
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,700
that we try to behavior modify 
our self which is naturally 

352
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,100
doing what we think is, right? 
I've got to withstand this, I 

353
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:19,500
got a I got a bow up, I gotta I 
gotta all this stuff in my own 

354
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,900
natural strength and if all you 
use is your natural, then your 

355
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:25,000
giant is not going to be dead, 
it's just going to be in 

356
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,600
hibernation. 
And then one day later when your

357
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,400
later, three years later, Giants
back. 

358
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,500
And now I feel worse than I did 
it first, because I thought this

359
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:40,000
thing was dead, and now it's 
back and I got guilt and shame. 

360
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,700
But I got to tell everybody, 
hey, I made it so far, and then 

361
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:44,900
I fell again, and now I'm 
terrible. 

362
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:48,400
Listen, behind behavior 
modification is what we can do 

363
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,000
in the natural. 
It I'm not saying it's bad. 

364
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,700
In fact, it's very good. 
But, the best thing is to have 

365
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,900
what's Natural Touch by that, 
which is Supernatural. 

366
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:05,800
And when it's supernaturally, 
aided the head rolls, Are you 

367
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,300
hearing me? 
Hallelujah. 

368
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,800
So what does this training? 
What can we do in the natural 

369
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:15,700
that God can touch in the 
Supernatural? 

370
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:18,300
First of all know this, we need 
to fight like him and not like 

371
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:21,700
them. 
We need to fight like him and 

372
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,700
not like them. 
Saul says in verse 33, David 

373
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:26,800
you're not able to go out 
against this Philistine and 

374
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,700
fight them. 
You're only a young man and he's

375
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:31,200
being a Warrior from his youth, 
which means he's no longer a 

376
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,400
youth, but he's been training 
since he was a youth. 

377
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,500
Now, he's a Grizzly deed veteran
of the Philistine Army, I can 

378
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:39,300
imagine. 
He's got notches on his belt for

379
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,200
how many heads that he's whacked
himself. 

380
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,900
He just like this. 
Just incredible. 

381
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:48,300
General Warrior for the 
Philistines and saws, like, you,

382
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:52,500
you ain't, you got Nothing 
compared to him. 

383
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,500
David said, but, but, but, but, 
but saw your servants been, 

384
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:00,900
keeping his father's sheep on a 
liner. 

385
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:02,500
Bear coming care of his sheep 
from the flock. 

386
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:03,900
I went after it. 
Struck at rescue, the chief 

387
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:05,800
Burns mouth. 
When it turned on me, I see the 

388
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,700
B here, bam and killed it. 
Saul says you're not trained in 

389
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:13,000
the weapons of warfare and David
responds. 

390
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:22,600
I have training, you know not of
Wouldn't you like to say this 

391
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:26,800
like this, right? 
I have training you know, not a 

392
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,000
when your giant stands in front 
of you with this arrogant breath

393
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,800
waving his weapons in your face,
you get to look him. 

394
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,700
Directly back in the eye and 
say, hey giant, I have training,

395
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:44,200
you know, not enough. 
I want you to know the giant has

396
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,100
a limited view of Your Arsenal. 
I want you to know that people 

397
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:51,700
around you naysayers, have a 
limited view of your arson. 

398
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:53,900
I want you to know that 
sometimes you look in the mirror

399
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:58,300
and forget your own Arsenal, but
when equipped of God, you get to

400
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:03,900
say, wait a second, I have 
training you know, not of every 

401
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:07,800
time I say it I feel like Yoda I
have training, you know, not of.

402
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,200
Would you just say this with me?
I have training, you know, not 

403
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,400
of you. 
Remember the scripture for 

404
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,300
though, we live in the world, we
do not wage Wars. 

405
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:18,200
The world does the weapons? 
We With are not the weapons on 

406
00:24:18,208 --> 00:24:20,400
the world. 
On the contrary, our weapons 

407
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,600
have divine power to demolish 
strongholds Hedgerow. 

408
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,900
Because I got training, you 
know, not of you remember this. 

409
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:37,200
Anyone you seen the movie? 
Yep, daniel-san. 

410
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:41,500
The end of the fight. 
He's bruised. 

411
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:43,700
He's bad in his legs. 
I'll sweep the leg, right? 

412
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,300
Everything's going wrong. 
And Daniel goes. and the crowds 

413
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:56,300
like what is this doofus doing 
Johnny's like since a is like, 

414
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:02,300
right and miyagi's like You 
remember miyagi's face? 

415
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:05,600
Like, yes, Daniel. 
Sounds like I have training you 

416
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,700
gonna do crane kicks. 
You the best? 

417
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:14,300
Yeah. 
Okay, I have training, you know,

418
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:15,800
not of. 
Would you just say it one more 

419
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,400
time? 
I have training, you know, not 

420
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,100
of. 
Now this time. 

421
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:21,700
Don't just repeat it. 
I want you to think of the 

422
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:24,000
giant, that's in front of you 
and say it to him. 

423
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,200
Hurt it. 
Whatever. 

424
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,000
By the way, your Giants never a 
person. 

425
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,700
We do not wrestle against flesh 
and blood, right? 

426
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:33,100
It's an issue. 
It's a wound, it's a habit. 

427
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:37,600
It's a demon, whatever you want 
to say it is, it's not a person.

428
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,800
So go ahead, one more time, say 
it to that thing. 

429
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:42,000
Go ahead. 
You say, whenever you're ready 

430
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,100
mmm-hmm keep saying it till you 
believe it, here's the not right

431
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,600
now throughout the week. 
So what was David's way of 

432
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,900
fighting? 
How did he train and often? 

433
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,100
This is where and I have sat 
through many messages on David 

434
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:57,600
and Goliath. 
You hear this David's training 

435
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,800
in order to defeat Goliath is 
that he defeated the lion and 

436
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,600
the Bear. 
That was his training in order 

437
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,800
to defeat Goliath, man, he beat 
The Lion and the bear. 

438
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,900
He had the courage to face 
Goliath because he had the 

439
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:13,700
courage to face the lion and the
bear. 

440
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:15,700
And as I was reading the 
Scripture, it just suddenly 

441
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,800
occurred to me. 
Where do you get the courage to 

442
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,200
fight the lion? 
The bear. 

443
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:24,400
When's the last time you did 
that. 

444
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,500
There's a lion. 
I think I'll go find him. 

445
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:35,700
We know that David's first shot 
with a slingshot wasn't at the 

446
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:38,300
Giant. 
And what I believe is that it 

447
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:40,100
was not at the bare the line 
either. 

448
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:45,500
Here's a case in point. 
Mushiya. 

449
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,500
I need somebody who really 
confident? 

450
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:52,300
Catching the football. 
Oh, that I won't hurt. 

451
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:55,000
When I throw it. 
Are you sure young man? 

452
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:56,200
All right. 
Come up here, buddy. 

453
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,200
What's your name? 
I'm sorry Aaron. 

454
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,500
Yes. 
Come on. 

455
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,200
That's a good Biblical name, 
Aaron. 

456
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:06,800
I want you to stand right there.
In the that light over there. 

457
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,400
Right next to Tish and pestle 
baldomir, right? 

458
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,600
Right. 
Go this way Aaron. 

459
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,000
Right. 
You'll see the light right 

460
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,100
there? 
Yeah, perfect. 

461
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:13,800
All right, I'm gonna throw the 
ball. 

462
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:15,600
All to you and you gotta catch 
it. 

463
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,900
Remember go Goliath is winning 
if we don't do this. 

464
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:19,700
All right. 
So you ready? 

465
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,100
Here you go. 
Okay that hey that's right, we 

466
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,800
all just died. 
Let's try again. 

467
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:28,200
Okay, I'm a third to you again. 
All right, here we go. 

468
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:30,700
There you go. 
Hey. 

469
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:34,700
How we could do this all day 
long, right? 

470
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:38,900
Aaron. 
Just you and me right now, let's

471
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:41,300
pretend that life is really on 
the line. 

472
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:45,000
Just pretend you stay there on, 
you're doing great. 

473
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,800
And if I lose my family will 
become subservient. 

474
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,500
To an enemy that none of us want
to imagine. 

475
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,600
Right. 
And so this whole time, I've 

476
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,300
been using my trained armed. 
Let me now, use my untrained 

477
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:05,400
arm. 
Are we ready for this? 

478
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,900
I literally have not practiced 
this on purpose, so we can see 

479
00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:11,400
how this goes. 
The giant is menacing. 

480
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,400
He's ugly. 
I'm running into the valley. 

481
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,700
Everybody's watching. 
Everyone's fate. 

482
00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:17,500
Hangs on this one throw. 
Here we go. 

483
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,400
I want to try that again because
I was really bad. 

484
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:27,300
Go ahead, nice throw. 
I'm gonna try with the left hand

485
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:36,800
again. 
Baldomir just saved his wife's 

486
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,100
life right here. 
Hey give a big hand to Aaron. 

487
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:42,700
Right there are one more pass. 
Come on. 

488
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:48,800
Deep throaty. 34 we do. 
Oh, okay. 

489
00:28:51,700 --> 00:28:53,800
I mean, this is the air and you 
did a great job. 

490
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,400
Right. 
Yeah. 

491
00:28:55,500 --> 00:29:01,000
So good. 
I think the point is obvious, 

492
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:04,600
right? 
David's first shop with his 

493
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,800
slingshot. 
This is just based on the 

494
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,400
evidence based on the astute 
brains, that we have to figure 

495
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,800
it out that David's first, shot 
wasn't at the lion In the bear. 

496
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:21,200
David was tending sheep have 
ever heard the phrase watching 

497
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,200
paint dry. 
Watching grass grow tending 

498
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,100
sheep, has a lot of fun Parts 
when you're moving the sheep 

499
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,300
from here to there, or there's a
predator coming, like The Lion 

500
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:33,100
and the bear. 
But most of the time tending 

501
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:36,000
sheep is sitting there watching,
sheep, chew grass. 

502
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,600
Eenie Meenie. 
And then they lay down. 

503
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:47,300
Wine in a green pasture. 
And David is there. 

504
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,200
As a young boy, think of how 
young boys are. 

505
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:57,000
And what's he doing? 
He does have a PS4. 

506
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,300
Does it have a Kindle doesn't 
even coloring book? 

507
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,700
It's just David and sheep. 
And a slingshot. 

508
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,300
Would it be too far-fetched to 
believe that? 

509
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:13,500
David spent a lot of his time. 
Hit that stick, hit that rock, 

510
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:17,500
hit that bird. 
That butterfly me, I guess I'll 

511
00:30:17,508 --> 00:30:24,000
hit the fly, right? 
You follow expert. 

512
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,400
I believe that somewhere along 
the way, David became an expert 

513
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,700
slingshots. 
MIT And he took out the line in 

514
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:32,600
the bear because he had 
practice. 

515
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:34,800
Let me just lay this truth out 
for all of us. 

516
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:37,300
How your training now is how 
you're going to fight then. 

517
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:41,400
How your training in this season
is how you're going to fight in 

518
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,500
David. 
Use his slingshot so many times 

519
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,400
he wasn't in trouble, so that 
when he was in trouble, it was 

520
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,600
second nature. 
The slingshot was like part of 

521
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,700
his arm, you watch the NHL 
All-Star game yesterday, I 

522
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:57,400
didn't. 
But I may say 55 minutes of it, 

523
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,200
but they say that the hockey 
stick has become an extension of

524
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,600
these All-Stars bodies. 
Just like one with them. 

525
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:06,500
They can do crazy things, Tiger 
Woods in a golf club. 

526
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:10,800
It's just one with Him. 
How many times did Michael 

527
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,500
Jordan shoot a basketball in An 
Empty Arena when it didn't 

528
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:19,000
matter? 
So that when it did matter, 

529
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:26,100
second nature, David when a bear
and a lion is coming, that's 

530
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:28,500
when it matters and you don't 
just make it up in that season. 

531
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,500
I believe that when we get in a 
difficult season suddenly we 

532
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:33,900
want to call in a skill that we 
haven't developed in an easy 

533
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:37,700
season. 
The giant starts charging at us 

534
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:40,200
and we want to do something that
we haven't ever done before in 

535
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,800
expected to go. 
Super well. 

536
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:49,500
What you've been training with 
now is what you'll try to use. 

537
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,300
Then I think that we're training
spending a lot of time in 

538
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:55,400
training, on the wrong things 
that won't help us with our 

539
00:31:55,408 --> 00:31:57,700
Giants. 
I want you the next time your 

540
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:00,900
giant pops up to say, I give you
Netflix. 

541
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:09,600
See if the giant Falls. 
I give you candy crush. 

542
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,900
Now, it's getting personal, 
okay? 

543
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,900
I give you a bottle of Rose. 
A, here's some Jack Daniels. 

544
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Here's some pornography. 
Here's some shopping. 

545
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,400
Gossiping. 
Complaining. 

546
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,500
Here's some social media, giant 
Pink, they just fall off of them

547
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:38,400
like marshmallows. 
We've been spending so much time

548
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,600
training in the wrong things so 
that when we get to a difficult 

549
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
season, we try to pull in 
something. 

550
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,000
We haven't trained. 
Hmm. 

551
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:52,300
So what I, what I want you to 
train in, what does the Lord 

552
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:54,100
want us to train? 
It has nothing to do with me. 

553
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,500
Here it is. 
Get used to the Kings armor. 

554
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,200
Saul told David to wear his 
armor, but David hadn't rained 

555
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,900
in Saul's Army. 
He's like, I'm not used to 

556
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:11,300
these. 
And then note he takes all of 

557
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:14,400
the Kings armor off and leaves 
it. 

558
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,200
One day and today could be that 
day, already your Giants. 

559
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Going to come at you. 
And the king is going to say, 

560
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:30,000
hey here's my armor and the last
thing you want to say to the 

561
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,200
Lord our God is, I'm not used to
it. 

562
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:39,500
And leave God's armor behind. 
In the day of battle, you need 

563
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:43,700
it. 
Most Ephesians chapter 6. 

564
00:33:43,700 --> 00:33:45,600
You got a Bible That's all turn 
their together. 

565
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:53,200
That's where courage comes from.
Getting used to. 

566
00:33:54,700 --> 00:34:00,000
The armor of God in an easy 
season, so that when the 

567
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,100
difficult season comes your 
trained up and ready to go. 

568
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,199
Verse 10 finally, be strong in 
the Lord. 

569
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:13,900
And in his mighty power, put on 
just one piece of the armor of 

570
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:16,800
God. 
The full armor. 

571
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,300
I don't have it up there so you 
just got to turn in your own 

572
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,400
Bibles. 
Put put on the full armor of 

573
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,100
God, so that you can take your 
stand against the devil's 

574
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:27,900
schemes. 
For our struggle is not against 

575
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:31,100
flesh and blood, but against the
rulers against the authorities, 

576
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:34,100
against the powers of this dark 
world and against the spiritual 

577
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:38,300
forces of evil in the Heavenly 
Realms, therefore put on the 

578
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:44,100
full armor of God, so that when 
the day of evil comes, it does 

579
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:48,199
not say if the day of evil 
comes, when the day of evil 

580
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:52,900
comes, gotta find my spot. 
You may be able to stand your 

581
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:56,600
ground and after you have done 
everything to stand. 

582
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,800
And then he tells us the armor. 
He says stand firm with the belt

583
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,700
of Truth. 
Buckled around your waist, this 

584
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:06,100
is the word of God. 
We need to be training daily. 

585
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:09,000
This is uh shooting free throws 
in an empty gym daily. 

586
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
I'm reading it there may not, I 
mean I didn't some days, it may 

587
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,100
just be mechanical or I just got
to get in it and just, just eat 

588
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,200
it. 
Have it in my spirit, reading 

589
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,500
the word of God. 
This belt of Truth upon me. 

590
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:26,600
And by the way, all this rest of
the armor rests on The belt, we 

591
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,200
can talk about that. 
Another time, the breastplate of

592
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,300
righteousness, the breastplate 
of righteousness, says to the 

593
00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,900
enemy, my past. 
No longer defines me. 

594
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,300
You filthy giant, my mistakes, 
my resume of immoral failures. 

595
00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:41,600
Does not define me. 
The breastplate of 

596
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,100
righteousness, says that I am 
the righteousness of God. 

597
00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:46,200
Through the blood of Jesus 
Christ. 

598
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,900
My faith in him has made me 
clean. 

599
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:51,000
The old has gone. 
The new is here. 

600
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,900
This proves it. 
The feet fitted with the 

601
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:55,400
Readiness of the Gospel means 
that everywhere that you are the

602
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,800
god. 
Feel the peace means that 

603
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,200
everywhere that you walk. 
You walk in peace with 

604
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,900
confidence. 
Peace means everything in its 

605
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:01,800
rightful place. 
What? 

606
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,900
I'm putting on the armor of God,
I'm taking every step correctly 

607
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:09,000
because I'm trusting the will 
the perfect good and pleasing 

608
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000
will of God, I walk confidently.
I'm not going to be afraid. 

609
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,200
Bad news comes. 
I'm walking in the gospel of 

610
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,200
peace. 
It's okay. 

611
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,200
We're going to make it through. 
Here's the way we're going to 

612
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,200
walk. 
Walk walk. 

613
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Then you get the shield of 
Faith. 

614
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,100
Fiery arrows are a raid at you, 
and the shield of faith, we lift

615
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:30,400
it up and say greater, is he, 
that is in me than he is in the 

616
00:36:30,408 --> 00:36:32,300
world. 
We say those that are for me, 

617
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,000
are more than those that are 
against me. 

618
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:36,600
We say no weapon formed against 
me, shall prosper. 

619
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,300
We lift up the shield of faith. 
We say I'm going to submit to 

620
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:41,900
God and resist the devil and he 
will flee. 

621
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And these arrows go out one by 
one ting, ting ting. 

622
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,500
The helmet of salvation. 
I love the helmet of salvation, 

623
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:52,300
Roman helmets had giant plumes 
on them so that the whole world 

624
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:54,300
would know you were a Roman 
soldier when you wear the helmet

625
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,400
of salvation. 
The whole world knows that 

626
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,900
you're a Christ follower, the 
helmet of salvation keeps out 

627
00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:01,800
the thoughts and the enemy and 
keeps in the thoughts of God. 

628
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:04,800
And then the sword of the 
spirit. 

629
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:10,900
The sword. 
It's two edges and there's much 

630
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:12,500
talk about what these two edges 
mean. 

631
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:17,100
Today, let the mean for us, 
praise and prayer The next verse

632
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:20,000
says, to pray in the spirit. 
Praise and prayer. 

633
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,900
The stones you put in your 
slingshot. 

634
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,400
Have you trained Up In Praise 
and prayer? 

635
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Let me read the scripture to 
you. 

636
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,600
Psalm 149 6 God's high and holy 
Praises fill their mouths. 

637
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Further shouted, Praises are 
their weapons of war. 

638
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:43,500
In the easy season. 
Let's become Prayer. 

639
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:49,100
Warriors and praise Warriors. 
So that when the difficult 

640
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,600
season comes, we're not just 
trying to warm up our voices. 

641
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:54,800
I've been singing since I was a 
kid. 

642
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:59,300
I have training, you know, not 
of, I've been praying in my 

643
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:06,900
closet on my knees for years. 
You have no idea of my training.

644
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,800
I have scripture hidden in my 
heart. 

645
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,700
I have training. 
You know, none of you filthy 

646
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:18,400
mouth devil This is what we get 
to say this past week. 

647
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:27,600
It was like the most incongruous
illogical week for me, because I

648
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:34,900
am fasting and praying, and in 
God's word and feeling strength,

649
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:38,200
feeling, Spirit, feeling, flesh,
dying and then I had one of the 

650
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,400
worst weeks. 
Like we that doesn't compute 

651
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:47,100
God, like it should be awesome. 
And yet these difficult things 

652
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,800
are happening one after the 
other. 

653
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,900
There was even one situation or 
having to apologize to my wife 

654
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:55,500
and my children for my behavior.
My fuse was short. 

655
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,200
I was emotionally drunk. 
Anyone ever been emotionally 

656
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,600
drunk? 
Just like, not a good place to 

657
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,300
be and I said to my wife later 
that night like I don't 

658
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:05,100
understand what's happening. 
Like I don't get it. 

659
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:06,700
The opposite should be 
happening. 

660
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:09,400
I should be the best version of 
me right now and I just was like

661
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,300
the worst version of me. 
How does that happen? 

662
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,300
Does it make any sense and went 
to bed? 

663
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,500
And I woke up and the first 
thought on my mind. 

664
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,600
Was this a prompting? 
A voice? 

665
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,000
Not audible that I knew it was 
the Lord speaking. 

666
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:33,600
He said, hey Tim you're letting 
the devil win. 

667
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,800
The year that I can't, you're 
letting the devil win this. 

668
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,000
What this whole thing is about. 
Strengthening the spirit during 

669
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,900
the fast to overwhelm the Flesh 
and the the devil, just poked 

670
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:52,700
your flesh, and you let the 
devil win. 

671
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,100
It's like mad, I fell for the 
trick. 

672
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,700
Right in the middle of the fast,
but the good news is I have 

673
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:06,600
training. 
The devil does not know of, it 

674
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,000
will turn that on its head in an
instant through prayer and 

675
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,500
praise and suiting up daily and 
sometimes multiple times a day 

676
00:40:16,700 --> 00:40:21,000
in the armor of God, and there's
a transformation that will 

677
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000
happen in your spine and your 
spirit, when you realize that, 

678
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,300
if God is for us, who can be 
against us, and I'm not gonna 

679
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,200
Let the devil win anymore. 
Not today. 

680
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,800
Tomorrow, I have to choose that 
again and the next day and so I 

681
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,100
speak to you, these words. 
May the spirit of God. 

682
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:49,100
Touch you supernaturally to Aid,
you in what you do, naturally, 

683
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,900
the reading of scripture, the 
praying, the prayers, the 

684
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:54,900
singing of songs, the suiting up
in the armor, that's our 

685
00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:57,600
training. 
So the moment, the giant stands 

686
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,600
in front of you, it'll be second
nature to respond to him, devil.

687
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,900
I got training, you know, not 
enough. 

688
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,200
I've got courage like David. 
I've got courage like Jesus. 

689
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:14,200
I've got courage like Paul. 
That's who you are. 

690
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,800
That's what he's made us to be 
in the name of the father Son 

691
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,600
and the Holy Spirit. 
Would you just pray? 

692
00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:25,700
Just make this personal for a 
second. 

693
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:28,900
Just ask Holy Spirit. 
What is it that you want me to 

694
00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:32,200
know today? 
What is it that you want me to 

695
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,000
take away? 
What's one truth? 

696
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,200
One nugget, one. 
Something that you've laid on my

697
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:42,900
spirit. 
Lord, we just release Holy 

698
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:48,600
Spirit in this house. 
Touch every person receive the 

699
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,900
Holy Spirit. 
You and your seat receive, Holy 

700
00:41:53,900 --> 00:42:00,200
Spirit. 
But in Philly to fullness, and 

701
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:06,200
you in your seats, make 
commitment to train up as a 

702
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:12,000
warrior, Father, we thank you 
for victory. 

703
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,900
We thank you. 
That the victory is assured. 

704
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:20,900
That you fight our battles as we
align ourselves with you? 

705
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,700
God, I pray that what you did 
for David and the Israelites you

706
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:30,600
do again in our day. 
That Goliath false, the victory 

707
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:36,200
shot goes up up and we rule over
that which was seeking to rule 

708
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,300
over us. 
Glory to God in the eyes. 

709
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:44,600
Thank you for your faithfulness 
in Jesus name.
