CONFRONT YOUR CONFRONTATIONS

“And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine”. 1Samuel 17:48 (KJV) 

Goliath was fully armed and intimidating in outlook. That is how intimidating the devil looks. But don’t be dismayed by all those fancy things.

David was not intimidated! He stepped out and confronted Goliath. Remember that it was a battle of one man on either side. If Goliath defeated David, Saul and entire Israel will serve the Philistines. And if David defeated Goliath, the Philistines would serve them. And that was what happened. While Goliath was still figuring out what type of boy was coming against him, David brought him down with a sling and a stone. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise and the prudent. Your weapon or your gift may look stupid, it may even be considered as nothing, but if it is touched by God, it becomes a powerful weapon that will produce supernatural experience. Goliath was intimidating, but David knowing whom he believed; ran towards Goliath and killed him.

Stop withdrawing and retreating! Run towards your challenge! Confront your confrontations! Attack your attackers! You have all the authority. You have what it takes. Every Goliath in your life is coming down. The Goliath of sickness, of disease, of pain, of disappointment, and poverty are coming down. Evil shall bow before you and the wicked at your gate. There is always a bounce-back mechanism for every child of God. So I can assure you that you will bounce back from every setback. Your story will not end in shame. It will not end in disgrace. It will not end in embarrassment; it will not end in ridicule. Whatever you face, let not your heart fail you. You are coming out triumphant! You are bouncing back! You are coming out with spoils of victory.
