This Is Not Your Giant, But This Is Your Ground Pt. 2
Manage episode 430613804 series 2954400
In part two of this sermon, Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about how the enemy has taken out kings and monarchs so it is unwise to think that we could stand our ground without putting on the full armor of God daily. There is a day of evil coming and we have a ground to stand on, the ground God has given us specifically to fight for. We think that we are fighting the good fight of faith when we are advancing but sometimes it’s a victory to just be standing. The very fact that we are not retreating means that we get to boldly declare that we are still here, in His presence trusting that we will make it through another day. All of us, no matter who we are, will have Goliath attacks: problems that seem to be there from when we wake up to when we go to sleep. The word “Goliath” means to remove or take away so maybe for some of us the enemy keeps taking away our peace or our finances or our future but whatever the spiritual battle looks like, the only way to conquer it is by doing the following: 1. Pick up Courage: the revelation that we have a problem but we are in it with God 2. Instead of looking at Goliath as an obstacle we can view him as an opportunity. 3. Be careful to sidestep the step that will lead to the moment of victory Our praise today validates that everything the enemy threw at us in the past had no effect on us, so we can shout in all freedom. Our praise might require some work as we have to till the dry ground in order to take, but before we plant any more hopes or dreams on that ground let’s remove the thorns through surrender. Only then will we see the harvest we are looking for. Don’t let the enemy take a stronger stand against you on your ground!
