To defeat giants like addiction, resentment, fear, lust, pride, envy, or anger, you must understand these three Scriptures: <\/p>\n
(1) \u2018The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.\u2019 <\/i>(1\u00a0Corinthians\u00a010:13\u00a0NLT) Goliath was born a baby, but he grew into a giant. Our giants are often little sins we overlooked and indulged until they assumed a life of their own and came back to haunt us. So, as you begin to say no to small impulses, you will gain the strength to say no to bigger ones. <\/p>\n
(2) \u2018As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him.<\/i>\u2019 (1\u00a0Samuel\u00a017:48\u00a0NLT) David faced Goliath head-on. You must force your giant out into the light, and not let him back into your life. Establish boundaries! And if necessary, make yourself accountable to someone who can strengthen and encourage you. Stay out of the wrong company. And above all, don\u2019t view God in the light of your problem, view your problem in the light of God. <\/p>\n
(3) \u2018This is the Lord\u2019s battle, and He will give you to us!\u2019<\/i> You\u2019re not in this fight alone. God wants to help you to overcome old habits and establish new behaviours. His will for you is \u2018to live a life worthy of the calling you have received<\/i>.\u2019 (Ephesians\u00a04:1\u00a0NIV) When you repent, which means to do an about-face, turn, and resolve to walk with God, He will give you the strength to conquer the giant you\u2019re facing. God has never lost a battle yet, and when you invite Him to join you, you will win. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
