Face Your Giants! Giants Do Fall!
Narcissists Will Fall!
How do we respond to the giants in our lives?
How do you respond to the situations that appear as giants in your life?
What giants are you facing today?
Let’s take a look at David & Goliath.
“Then Goliath, a Philistine champion from Gath, came out of the Philistine ranks to face the forces of Israel. He was over nine feet tall! He wore a bronze helmet, and his bronze coat of mail weighed 125 pounds.
He also wore bronze leg armor, and he carried a bronze javelin on his shoulder.
The shaft of his spear was as heavy and thick as a weaver’s beam, tipped with an iron spearhead that weighed 15 pounds. His armor bearer walked ahead of him carrying a shield. Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites. “Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! If he kills me, then we will be your slaves.
But if I kill him, you will be our slaves! I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!”
Let’s examine the parallels between Goliath and narcissists.
With your carnal eyes, it appeared as if there was no way that David would be victorious.
Oh, but Chain Breakers, in the spirit with God’s Spirit, the victory was ALREADY WON!
When difficulties arise begin to see them as David saw Goliath!
See them as opportunities to take out a giant!
See those generational curses that have been operating in your family for centuries as an opportunity to removes curses from your bloodline.
See that alienated child coming back to you in the spirit.
See that court date already won! See you winning your case.
Begin to see yourself HEALED!
PRAISE AS IF YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED.
Look at that narcissist as an opponent because that is what they are.
The narcissist is not your friend. In the flesh, and by biology may be your father, your mother, your relative, your so-called BFF, your coworker.
But in the spirit, the narcissist is filled with many demonic spirits that come to kill, steal, and destroy you.
How do we become like King David?
We put on the whole Armor of God!
We always go to God’s word, Christ, and the Holy Spirit!
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against [a]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on an evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm, therefore, having belted your waist with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.
15 and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
FACE YOUR FEARS
David could not run from Goliath! He ran AT Goliath. He play offense instead of defense. What is your posture against demons? What is your posture against the enemy?
David ran in order to hit Goliath with brute force. You see the momentum behind David as he ran contributed to the power of the simple stone hitting Goliath’s head.
If David would have stayed stuck standing, crying, becoming a victim of his circumstances, he would have succumbed to Goliath.
You have to run at Goliath. Full Force.
Goliath had a sword and armour. David had a stone and tunic. You have to attack the giant with the opposite force. You have to run at pride with humility.
You have to attack hate with love. You have to fight flesh with spirit. You have to fight demons with Christ. You have to fight the enemy’s lies with the word of Yahweh!
You have to run full force at fear with boldness. You have to tell doubt goodbye! After narcissist abuse it is extremely hard to trust, now you go to God and ask Him for discernment. You are not depending on you – you are depending on God. And He has never lost a battle!
