1 Samuel 16:1

10) The Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11) When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12) Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken [in years] among men.
13) The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14) David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15) Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father‘s sheep at Beth-lehem.

18) and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
19) Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20) David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.

23) As he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24) All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25) The men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father‘s house free in Israel.
26) David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27) The people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man who kills him.
28) Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab‘s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why are you come down? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.
29) David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30) He turned away from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31) When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32) David said to Saul, Let no man‘s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33) Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34) David said to Saul, Your servant was keeping his father‘s sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35) I went out after him, and struck him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
36) Your servant struck both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.
37) David said, Yahweh who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. Saul said to David, Go, and Yahweh shall be with you.
38) Saul clad David with his clothing, and he put a helmet of brass on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39) David girded his sword on his clothing, and he tried to go; for he had not proved it. David said to Saul, I can‘t go with these; for I have not proved them. David put them off him.
40) He took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd‘s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41) The Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42) When the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair face.
43) The Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks? The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44) The Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.
45) Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46) This day will Yahweh deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47) and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn‘t save with sword and spear: for the battle is Yahweh‘s, and he will give you into our hand.
48) It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49) David put his hand in his bag, and took there a stone, and slang it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
50) So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51) Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath of it, and killed him, and cut off his head therewith. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52) The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53) The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.

Today I see about David's slaying his Giants, the date they were this later time. And this is just the child's story. This is a real occasion and Dave is a real King and David is real person, and sometimes we look at these stories in the Bible and say why you now that they really happened and it were these guys really like this while the story that we have abated his audience a very unique one and I want to approach it in the way that perhaps will see the end that the value of what David had to go through and how that he does come upon this into the situation where he faces Goliath, but there are other situations that set up the Goliath moment and these are the things we want to look at, even in our own lives today being Father's Day, but I think of it is not only his father 's business, Wednesday nine thirty eight Manteno man cave, you know this. I think him so I know matter what the age when they leave youngest or the oldest. We have gifts and things that will give out today but David, the slayer of Giants first Samuel chapter sixteen, we begin verse one L what happened in Israel. Saul has been anointed king. I'm saw highs just not done what he was supposed to do with King Samuel the prophet would go and tell him to do certain things and then saw would go out and do them half way or not do them at all and they'd always been back with an excuse decennial say, well, you know, I did it this way that way, and Samuel was totaling upset the prophet was fully upset with Saul, who was the first king of Israel, so we began chapter sixteen verse one. God addresses Samuel. So how long are you going to mope over Saul Samuel the prophet is all upset over Sony 's not doing what he supposed to do, and Samuel, the prior profit is moping around, you know, I've rejected him as king over Israel. Failure flask with anointing oil and get going. I'm sending you too, Jessie of Bethlehem. I've spotted the very king. I want among his sons. So profit now has a new mission. God speaks, it was not what you develop to displace a very specific place and to a specific family went to this place of Bethlehem. And he wants God. God wants him to anoint from one family. A son while Samuel argues with God. I can't do this if we rock and read everything and then the taxes we would be here very long time. So I Samuel argues with God 's. I can't do this. I can go annoying and anoint another person King while the King is already writing easily killed Amanda Canfield at the other person. I'd like it got decennial away, but felt so semiautomated. He went to Bethlehem to the house of Jesse R six and seven, when he arrived at Jesse 's home and Bethlehem manages his home. Samuel took one look at Eli Nokia lab was on Jesse 's book Jesse had seven sons. As the oldest and we elected a lab profit. What's the lab and says while Gary is godlike and the man looks like a king. He tall, dark and handsome, not short, bald, in fact, he is tall, dark and handsome but the I want to install dark and handsome. Yeah okay that was never taught how it had light skin and I did have here. But anyhow they've got one look at the lab and says that's it. But God told Sandy noted herein. Samuel easement or profit for many years, but always in our process of growth. The things that we can learn the things we need to look at NCC things differently so, God tells Samuel looks aren't everything don't be impressed with his looks and stature. I already eliminated him. God judges persons differently than humans do men and women look at the face goblets in the heart. So as we look at this and I began to see the unfolding of what is taking place with David and him being anointed. We know that God knows the heart. God knows what's going on the inside he knows the intent he knows the reason why we do what we do and he knows the intent of every action every thought, every plan. There's no hiding from God not remember last week 's sermon. We talked about God being pure light and when God 's light shines upon something pure light is that which eliminates points out the things that are good that our noble that are lovely that are of a good repeal of good report, God 's light shines on this and were able to see these things because darkness looks at things and sees no difference between good and evil. When life of God looks at things we see the blessings and we see the persons we see what is a good action we see what is a not so good action. So we pray that God would give us his life to look at our lives and look at the lives and situations of people around us, so Samuel has Jesse 's son passed before him, there's Eli had a been there. Dad and show Matt Schama and Jesse presented silence on, but there was this salmon. The six wrongly, there are none of them were chosen, and Samuel is expecting you and I read the screenings is with airport cross Jesse looks at the set below looks at the science and said no way is not mistakenly think this is the guy. This is a guy a comes the end, there is not here and he knows that God has sent him here, a look that just isn't the only more chance. I don't want the forgotten one woman who is David and Mercy, while he's the youngest these out watching the seat when David came before Samuel God said it's in the verse twelve, got said confidence in the verse twelve, not God said first twelve on your feet annoyed him. This is the one so God spoke to Samuel as he had expected, and very once was David Samuel took his flask of oil and anointed him with his brothers would remember this with his brothers standing around watching porn. Remember, this the spirit of God entered David like a rush of wind God mightily empowered him for the rest of his life Daniel left the win home through Raymer God mightily empowered David did so here it is the spirit of the Lord is come upon David and from that moment forward, David, is this easy understands or something. There's something divine about his life is on the divine about what he's going to do, and this is what I had a look at a narrow life that God has a purpose for each life God 's spirit enters are likely accept Christ, we confess our sins, God 's Spirit is at a loss, and that spirit is there, empowering us that the purpose is a purpose for your life. They does the purpose for my life. Okay. But then again, some of you were someplace else, but that there is a purpose for my life. There is a purpose for my life is that me saying that those God telling informing us that the purpose now God has a purpose, but he does not expect us to do our own. We can fulfill that purpose of God by good works, good deeds, doing the right things. Did I get Bush out, step on the God is spirit in us, helping us to become that person. So time is past. It's not just a sequence of days. There's some time is passed in Israel is now at war with the neighboring country, the Philistines, and Jesus sends this evening, Jesse, the father since David to the battlefront to take food for his brothers chapter seventeen versus one three, they drew up their troops in battle readiness now got understand the situation. Anybody see on this movie. I only got the gladiator but that three hundred gladiator yell and gladiator at the beginning of the movie. There are the Romans on one side and the battle that got bad guys and the other side, and they're banging on their shields. The recent ABC news like that while that's what's going on every day for forty days will be here how that the children of Israel. The soldiers get up every morning, ready for battle. So they get up every morning all staff on one hill and around up there, ready for battle. The Philistines on the other healed and they are ready for battle and what that means is they get out the battle cry so never watch movies. They are now yonder shield down where you advertise often outside regular charge in the Valley, but were forty days into during this and what happens is just as ready to charge the battle battlelines part outcomes for life now. We got this book forty days bang on your shelf ready to go battle, but no one is willing to go into the valley to give up the high ground, so forty days of school, when Goliath steps out that something is audiology field. This is the sports is a fairytale while it out. Some of these guys to play for the NFL. What are they six seven seven foot. This is the guide is almost seven four three hundred fifty pounds play for the NFL. So when far back ally flies about ten feet pole ten feet tall. I thought here comes Goliath stepping out of the ranks based on solid Philistine ranks and they all parking on Americans out so well his armor, so you nearly ten feet tall and was his name is Goliath from Gath sounds like a room. This is life-and-death. This is David from winter so you get the idea. This is this is Terry Bradshaw from the Steelers. This is then ruffles Berger almost there were okay so you have a reputation you have a low, you have a personalized reputation member. Therefore, this is Goliath. One guy is a place that is known in history as a place of July, meaning that there are a lot of big people who come from this particular location is armor greeted in the King James, it's hard to figure out something cubits of this and whatever his armor weighs a hundred twenty six pounds. He wore bronze with a what is bronze. The digital site and the Romans. They will always wear those those plumes is where everything to make him be bigger than what they were so here is Goliath was a massive person. He's wearing a bronze shield had gear helmet, so it's shiny. He has a spear. There's like a fence pole. He has the weight of the tip of his spear is fifteen pounds of them bring some fifteen pound weight and the people carry around for a while. That's just the tip of the spear, his shield. There are lots of problem and everything is Bronson shining so, not always a ten foot tall deluxe twenty feet tall, because he's on the opposing side, and you see everybody else is dwarfed beneath him and he steps forward now what are giants giants is a man on intimidation giants are intimidating things that make us feel inferior. Unable that we are unable to do the task that is before us Goliath is an intimidator nickname. Razor handle this limit how many have people and things that intimidate you. I won't ask you to raise your hands. But there are people or things that intimidate us and this is why we find David and Goliath verse eight I stood there I call out to be his light troops, why bother using your whole army and are not a philistine Amarnath Philistine enough for you because it out there, just from you whenever they would play sports and whatever while from Pittsburgh without ever this Baltimore now one of a Burgess, Philadelphia, one of& Cleveland. Now what are they, so we are people, and are derogatory towards their opponents whether nobody noticed. From there, while here is the last thing am I not Philistine philistine enough for you are not lonely enough to for you guys, because you have goes on here you are and your all committed to swallow hard to your committed to Saul, you're committed to know that souls stacked so pick your best fighter and put it against me, and not only does an later on we'll see how he curses at Saul, he curses at the armies he curses the God that Israel warships, so he is taking Spain of intimidation. Here I am. Send your best guy I meet them in the Valley. It will do it, man to man, and if I get the upper hand. Until then you all become our slaves and serve us I shower is the truth of Israel this day. Give me a man, and let us fight it out together, boom, boom, boom, I go down there up there. Let's charge in the Malaga, the no charge under all stand up and because they want to live like the battle and nobody out on top was to go into the valley and nobody alone was the walk down there meet July so verse twelve actually and appropriately stated its or David Bloom, the. He was the son of Jesse, if her type of effort into the Jesse, the father of eight sons, was himself to all to join Saul 's army. Jesse had three older sons go to war and the name of the signs appropriately are you a been a dad and Schama, David was the youngest so why remember those three brothers. They were the ones passed over by Samuel to be anointed King and David was anointed, so Jessie says to David take bread food to your brothers and get some cheese to regard the guidance and charge of the garrison that your brothers are under give him some food to when it arrived at camp just as the army was moving forward into battle formation, so there really is a battle formation are all dressed for battle. There are all up on the mountain and David comes up to the battle and now they are saying underscores get a nurse cry their battle cry. Going back and forth with each other, and then shouting the warcry and then David what will I greeted his brothers, and while they were talking the Philistine champion. There are all shouting, David arrives just in time for the Philistine champion Goliath of gap to step out from the front lines and the Philistines, and they gave his usual challenge and David heard him now. Remember back when David was anointed God came upon him. This is signifying to us. When God is in our life never reset about the light of God shining in our lives. We see things a little differently. We say things we see things, we see things, we see things we know. Thanks why we say because there is a different light that shines on how we see things than people who are not Christians. That's why we can be moved inside stirred to hear to see to know to do things just a little different but yet were challenged were challenged you really want to. You really will make a full of yourself who to be different to say what you're really thinking you want to. Are you really moved to deliver well, David Wooster. But David was not intimidated, because the Spirit of God in him stirred him to act upon this response. It wasn't David saying I'm going after Goliath. It was the spirit of God inside of David, saying, you can take this guy David starts to think about this. First, twenty four, after they heard all this, they fell back. The moment they saw the giant step from four forty five. During this and they were there and the moment they stabilize step out of the realm out of the ranks by takes a step backward. I'm not going down. I'm not going there swells that back strongly those situations where everybody steps back to David stander by himself ill volunteers, give them a fifty bags that happened first twenty four years or so. The man fell back. The moment they saw the giant. The talk among the troops was a window people you start you start listening to how people talk, you start understanding what their fears are, what their areas of that they feel intimidated by you begin to hear what people see when you listen to what they say is the man they help today. Have you seen to talk among themselves, have you seen any like this take Davidson amongst this group and this is what they're talking about and you say area like this. This man alternately and defiantly challenges Israel. What stirs and David the God of Israel. This man openly challenges the God of Israel, the man now Google talk is the man who killed a giant will have it made. Get it trying to gain courage and this is what the man who killed a giant will have it made why the case is going to give me huge rewards to get the daughter of the daughter of King Saul as a bride and three visit his family live a free ride to never have to pay taxes again so the motivation that saw given that a lot of his trip to the guy who killed Saul gets a big bonus if the marry my daughter, and never have to pay taxes again on your ready to go on the air ready to go now. Sign up today you get a big bonus. He married the king 's daughter and you never have to pay taxes again, you're your family. So that was the motivation supposedly the motivation gets all dissolving in some of his men to attack nobody was buying David had courage he had the courage and the stirring in his heart to take on Goliath before he found out about the reward good, but before David to face Goliath. Yet the faces Giants is first-time verse twenty eight not to the lab oldest brother. What is happened in the lab. He's been passed over these been passed over by the prophet and his youngest brother, whose visit what he can do watches sheep does women's work was anointed in a lab. His older brother heard David fraternizing with the men is David talking with the other soldiers in the lab. The big brother says to David and their wired to my -year-old business and technical scrawny flock of sheep out and it hasn't. I know what you're up to you. I'm done here to see the site open for a glimpse of ringside seat in a bloody battle that doing here. The first battle is those who intimidate us by those are the family members or people who are really close that can be little you in a moment in the thought and a glance, they can make you feel like your dirt note who you are. I was raised with you using you can do this is a given that you can live up to us. You don't hear you are such a lie from there to get away from these people oddities man-of-war, you little punk. I the first battle the data has to overcome is the intimidation of things of our past people who think they understand this and they put boundaries upon what we can or cannot do while they make you feel incompetent, incomplete day. Verse twenty nine. David says that with you. Is it with you. They reply all I did was ask a question I was asked a question of easy minority who blow up like I'm I've done something entirely wrong. People who respond to you in ways that are not really adequate for the situation, not really part of what's going on. They are carrying a lot of garbage from the past and trying to stifle you are in the present. What do David do it, ignoring his brother, he turned to someone else and ask the same question we got the same answer question was discussed and banging on shields and defined. But you mean to tell me the guy who kills him the big reward. Mary King 's daughter and a half lives, free hentai from taxes so being rewarded for doing good is not bad thing. Hello, being a wise steward is learning how to handle the property. What used in the hands wisely so the things David was saying were picked up and reported to solve David is talking about it. You can't justify God. And so people is the first ounce of courage and buddies found an alarming for forty days and somebody picks up an executive assaulting salt found a guy we file this with other students also younger daughter might be at a distance can be our societies are societies out there and it now went to false all haters out there knows what he should don't know for you okay and on-air, but I also wanted his cargo. We found somebody so well saw him. Verse thirty two masters of the Doug and I hope I'm ready to go like this philistine don't give up hope. What does intimidation do takes away the people, the Army 's all the King all had lost hope by the intimidation of soul by the intimidation of Goliath. David wasn't intimidated he had lost hope because in a guess and hope you said so after David, you can go like this posting. You're too young and inexperienced and he's been at this fighting business since before you were born. Goliath is a man of war. They know how to kill is a killing machine. You think you're going to go through this down call us to do something he hasn't prepared us for David in the next versus as well, you know, I'm now watching the sheep, but the lion in the bear wealth of, attacked my flock. I was able to take him down. I was able to love them of the lambs that were in their mouth. I took them down. I killed them now. No one is around to see David doing this, and no one would believe his tail again. I goes on to say in left hogtied about how I killed all I get out of you you writing kid didn't do that failure was making up stories for so he was able to tell anybody, but David Newman is high. The essays the line. He had faith of their intake on this diet. God had prepared him before the battle began, you see life prepares us for where were going. When God is in our life in God is in the heart is a prepared preparation going on. God is preparing me for what's coming, so these battles and I'm facing our ways of God, giving you strength for where I'm at and also to earn growing day. I like to be in the verse saw was the first thirty seven Davises about how he taken online. The bear than solstice golf and God help you a you go right ahead. I'm right behind what you give out on your face in an all right out there on the right guy to hope I'm black you go so the second time they've has to face his majority of people who are over us positionally also, Rob Ross and way of business and position David is a shepherd. Saul is a king what he saw one David to do they put on the soldiers armor solves own personal armor, put on his bronze helmet make them look bigger pay belted his sword around him. I got the King source and then it tried to walk and he could even walk someone trying to make you something that you're not. That's the second time. David has the face. Somebody trying to make you something that you want, and they have position overdue. You need to listen to them, they vanish they are experienced and what they do. They are express them what they need to tell you to do so. Therefore, they will tell you how to be a man of war. While nobody was a man of war, Scott Donner Flag Day to fight Goliath. So what you try to make me something that doesn't work now in everyday battles in everyday things. This is how you do things and they would never let them know we didn't all of his life never disarm or later on when he has the clean whenever he is going to lead the battles and war. He dresses in his armor, things like that but for this battle in this place and this time he's not going to do with the way other people telling him he knows in his heart. This battle is different. That's what we have to know in our heart. When people who are over us positionally are trying to make us do something that's really not us. There are giant. The third giant is being intimidated by those are just better than you what you are about to do Goliath is a killing machine, you are going to go to battle with him. There is no way this matches up it doesn't match up on paper it doesn't match up line on no man for man, to helmet position to position. Yet all your writing cat. He's a man of war. You don't even have a helmet to helmet the people casually carrying it out when you relocate and carry a sword or cherry issue, you got it when you know you're going along with this guy and you're this. I doesn't match the David is looking at match for match is going by what he knows in his heart and what you know when your heart what you know what God has called you to do is one God, and you are together makes a majority that when I finally do things totally out of character, but were looking at things within our own life that God has spoken to you about, and he will give you that strength, and he will give you that dream. He will give you the desire to accomplish something and when you look at you. First is the norm in a matchup intimidation, says Boeing and try to fail, but you see, God says. The majority. Let's go into this day. David took his shepherd 's staff. He selected five smooth stones from the brook, and people. Why did he chose five had four brothers agreed on in the chapter 's Goliath had four brothers, neighbors would take on the whole family dynamic of five stones from the brook, and he has a staff that is linked with the stones in his will, but his pouch. He goes verse twenty one at the Philistine paced back and forth. Goliath is ready to kill. I'm white. I am an killing machine. I can take on anybody you psyched for the war. He has psyched for the battle. He's prancing back and forth waiting for them to send somebody into the battleground in which he has gone it just apart and Goliath is prancing and he has done his thing and then and then you do it took one look down on him on David and sneered on their youngster, apple cheeked and pleased flies can't come in to do more doubtful with me. The fellow status guy is totally insulted. Now this is not a battle. This is a slaughter and you want me to face him, I will slaughter him. He ridiculed Daimon my dog. Verse forty three, after me with a stick trust him. He cursed his God is the that's what makes the difference. People will curse God motivates you and ridiculing you where your beliefs because you can't go forward, because says you don't listen to that with us in a still small voice. First, forty four, come on, say, the Philistine make you roadkill that you know what wrote there was a international sum, the deer and animallike crossroad of horse check on Mister Rocha, what's wrong that any of the new translation on your roadkill hi, and for your review of the buzzard meat. I'll turn you into a tasty morsel for the field mice, and he's throwing the baby 's insult of David. David answered him, come on, you content me with a sword, and with a spear and a battle lacks. I counted you in the name of the God of the Angel armies, the God of Israel 's troops see resetting the battle battles now set. This is the just David against Goliath. This is the God who spoke to David and anointed David a God who called Israel. The God who spoke to Abraham, Isaac, at the same God working down to their life and when this guy, this Goliath versus Israel and their God. He is cursing the God who created the heavens and the art. And when God was in our hearts and our lives stays to us. If the God who created the heavens of the earth, and it is not that person that is in the fence stars my heart and start the trains and stars need to move and that it is particular direction. I looked in all cars are God, they're not just cursing you cursing our God. God is going to move to his people. Well this very day as David speaking this very day. God is handing you over to me. I am about to kill you cut off your head, and so on your body and bodies of your fellow state bodies to the crows and the coyotes, Boris will know that there is an extraordinary God of Israel, and everyone gathered there here will learn that the God that God doesn't save by means of us what is clear, the battle belongs to God. He's handing you to us on a platter with here is discharge of a man who's been pacing and plotting to kill that aroused the Philistine ad he started toward David, what do David do with the essay got up there. David took off from the frontline running towards the Philistine when they are intimidated when you go back off we go towards intimidation creates fear. It is putting things in perspective is realizing that we are in this and we are in this for the long haul and we must do battle with those intimidations until we defeat them. And David was the thinking intimidation of his brother. He was defeating the termination of Saul that he was a man of authority over him. He was defeated, the man who was better than him in battle there was a killing machine, and here comes this run a little kid running another Valley got a take on the giant David raced into his pocket for honest though, and he slotted and he had that guy right between the and is sunk deep into his four hundred Bible says they come crashing to the ground. Those slings can get a very powerful punch to them. I saw a guy knock things over with a spring in Israel and I mean it was our boom and David took on the line in the bear again in the inability to know the what he possessed under the anointing of God had a different impact than just heal loan. This is where we are now lives that David Bingham of Palestine with a sling a stone economic children. No sword for David blood justifying install these are not many things that intimidate us in life. The whole doesn't frighten us and take us back. God stirs our heart by giving us the impression of his spirit. It isn't something rooted URL is something God, and are going to do to get together and when Don and I go together we will make a difference because God will make a difference in my life and what I do see that's where life is about allowing God to fill us with his spirit that we not allow ourselves to be intimidated by life. Why people buy things as we move forward we forgive, but still the past would go of the things that hold us in place, forgive and let Echo God has a future in front of us as his spirit stirs our hearts and makes us capable of seeing things differently than anyone else with regard to us. That's the story of David and his defeating of his Giants and that's our story to story that makes us different than people who don't believe in an so is thereToday I see about David's slaying his Giants, the date they were this later time. And this is just the child's story. This is a real occasion and Dave is a real King and David is real person, and sometimes we look at these stories in the Bible and say why you now that they really happened and it were these guys really like this while the story that we have abated his audience a very unique one and I want to approach it in the way that perhaps will see the end that the value of what David had to go through and how that he does come upon this into the situation where he faces Goliath, but there are other situations that set up the Goliath moment and these are the things we want to look at, even in our own lives today being Father's Day, but I think of it is not only his father 's business, Wednesday nine thirty eight Manteno man cave, you know this. I think him so I know matter what the age when they leave youngest or the oldest. We have gifts and things that will give out today but David, the slayer of Giants first Samuel chapter sixteen, we begin verse one L what happened in Israel. Saul has been anointed king. I'm saw highs just not done what he was supposed to do with King Samuel the prophet would go and tell him to do certain things and then saw would go out and do them half way or not do them at all and they'd always been back with an excuse decennial say, well, you know, I did it this way that way, and Samuel was totaling upset the prophet was fully upset with Saul, who was the first king of Israel, so we began chapter sixteen verse one. God addresses Samuel. So how long are you going to mope over Saul Samuel the prophet is all upset over Sony 's not doing what he supposed to do, and Samuel, the prior profit is moping around, you know, I've rejected him as king over Israel. Failure flask with anointing oil and get going. I'm sending you too, Jessie of Bethlehem. I've spotted the very king. I want among his sons. So profit now has a new mission. God speaks, it was not what you develop to displace a very specific place and to a specific family went to this place of Bethlehem. And he wants God. God wants him to anoint from one family. A son while Samuel argues with God. I can't do this if we rock and read everything and then the taxes we would be here very long time. So I Samuel argues with God 's. I can't do this. I can go annoying and anoint another person King while the King is already writing easily killed Amanda Canfield at the other person. I'd like it got decennial away, but felt so semiautomated. He went to Bethlehem to the house of Jesse R six and seven, when he arrived at Jesse 's home and Bethlehem manages his home. Samuel took one look at Eli Nokia lab was on Jesse 's book Jesse had seven sons. As the oldest and we elected a lab profit. What's the lab and says while Gary is godlike and the man looks like a king. He tall, dark and handsome, not short, bald, in fact, he is tall, dark and handsome but the I want to install dark and handsome. Yeah okay that was never taught how it had light skin and I did have here. But anyhow they've got one look at the lab and says that's it. But God told Sandy noted herein. Samuel easement or profit for many years, but always in our process of growth. The things that we can learn the things we need to look at NCC things differently so, God tells Samuel looks aren't everything don't be impressed with his looks and stature. I already eliminated him. God judges persons differently than humans do men and women look at the face goblets in the heart. So as we look at this and I began to see the unfolding of what is taking place with David and him being anointed. We know that God knows the heart. God knows what's going on the inside he knows the intent he knows the reason why we do what we do and he knows the intent of every action every thought, every plan. There's no hiding from God not remember last week 's sermon. We talked about God being pure light and when God 's light shines upon something pure light is that which eliminates points out the things that are good that our noble that are lovely that are of a good repeal of good report, God 's light shines on this and were able to see these things because darkness looks at things and sees no difference between good and evil. When life of God looks at things we see the blessings and we see the persons we see what is a good action we see what is a not so good action. So we pray that God would give us his life to look at our lives and look at the lives and situations of people around us, so Samuel has Jesse 's son passed before him, there's Eli had a been there. Dad and show Matt Schama and Jesse presented silence on, but there was this salmon. The six wrongly, there are none of them were chosen, and Samuel is expecting you and I read the screenings is with airport cross Jesse looks at the set below looks at the science and said no way is not mistakenly think this is the guy. This is a guy a comes the end, there is not here and he knows that God has sent him here, a look that just isn't the only more chance. I don't want the forgotten one woman who is David and Mercy, while he's the youngest these out watching the seat when David came before Samuel God said it's in the verse twelve, got said confidence in the verse twelve, not God said first twelve on your feet annoyed him. This is the one so God spoke to Samuel as he had expected, and very once was David Samuel took his flask of oil and anointed him with his brothers would remember this with his brothers standing around watching porn. Remember, this the spirit of God entered David like a rush of wind God mightily empowered him for the rest of his life Daniel left the win home through Raymer God mightily empowered David did so here it is the spirit of the Lord is come upon David and from that moment forward, David, is this easy understands or something. There's something divine about his life is on the divine about what he's going to do, and this is what I had a look at a narrow life that God has a purpose for each life God 's spirit enters are likely accept Christ, we confess our sins, God 's Spirit is at a loss, and that spirit is there, empowering us that the purpose is a purpose for your life. They does the purpose for my life. Okay. But then again, some of you were someplace else, but that there is a purpose for my life. There is a purpose for my life is that me saying that those God telling informing us that the purpose now God has a purpose, but he does not expect us to do our own. We can fulfill that purpose of God by good works, good deeds, doing the right things. Did I get Bush out, step on the God is spirit in us, helping us to become that person. So time is past. It's not just a sequence of days. There's some time is passed in Israel is now at war with the neighboring country, the Philistines, and Jesus sends this evening, Jesse, the father since David to the battlefront to take food for his brothers chapter seventeen versus one three, they drew up their troops in battle readiness now got understand the situation. Anybody see on this movie. I only got the gladiator but that three hundred gladiator yell and gladiator at the beginning of the movie. There are the Romans on one side and the battle that got bad guys and the other side, and they're banging on their shields. The recent ABC news like that while that's what's going on every day for forty days will be here how that the children of Israel. The soldiers get up every morning, ready for battle. So they get up every morning all staff on one hill and around up there, ready for battle. The Philistines on the other healed and they are ready for battle and what that means is they get out the battle cry so never watch movies. They are now yonder shield down where you advertise often outside regular charge in the Valley, but were forty days into during this and what happens is just as ready to charge the battle battlelines part outcomes for life now. We got this book forty days bang on your shelf ready to go battle, but no one is willing to go into the valley to give up the high ground, so forty days of school, when Goliath steps out that something is audiology field. This is the sports is a fairytale while it out. Some of these guys to play for the NFL. What are they six seven seven foot. This is the guide is almost seven four three hundred fifty pounds play for the NFL. So when far back ally flies about ten feet pole ten feet tall. I thought here comes Goliath stepping out of the ranks based on solid Philistine ranks and they all parking on Americans out so well his armor, so you nearly ten feet tall and was his name is Goliath from Gath sounds like a room. This is life-and-death. This is David from winter so you get the idea. This is this is Terry Bradshaw from the Steelers. This is then ruffles Berger almost there were okay so you have a reputation you have a low, you have a personalized reputation member. Therefore, this is Goliath. One guy is a place that is known in history as a place of July, meaning that there are a lot of big people who come from this particular location is armor greeted in the King James, it's hard to figure out something cubits of this and whatever his armor weighs a hundred twenty six pounds. He wore bronze with a what is bronze. The digital site and the Romans. They will always wear those those plumes is where everything to make him be bigger than what they were so here is Goliath was a massive person. He's wearing a bronze shield had gear helmet, so it's shiny. He has a spear. There's like a fence pole. He has the weight of the tip of his spear is fifteen pounds of them bring some fifteen pound weight and the people carry around for a while. That's just the tip of the spear, his shield. There are lots of problem and everything is Bronson shining so, not always a ten foot tall deluxe twenty feet tall, because he's on the opposing side, and you see everybody else is dwarfed beneath him and he steps forward now what are giants giants is a man on intimidation giants are intimidating things that make us feel inferior. Unable that we are unable to do the task that is before us Goliath is an intimidator nickname. Razor handle this limit how many have people and things that intimidate you. I won't ask you to raise your hands. But there are people or things that intimidate us and this is why we find David and Goliath verse eight I stood there I call out to be his light troops, why bother using your whole army and are not a philistine Amarnath Philistine enough for you because it out there, just from you whenever they would play sports and whatever while from Pittsburgh without ever this Baltimore now one of a Burgess, Philadelphia, one of& Cleveland. Now what are they, so we are people, and are derogatory towards their opponents whether nobody noticed. From there, while here is the last thing am I not Philistine philistine enough for you are not lonely enough to for you guys, because you have goes on here you are and your all committed to swallow hard to your committed to Saul, you're committed to know that souls stacked so pick your best fighter and put it against me, and not only does an later on we'll see how he curses at Saul, he curses at the armies he curses the God that Israel warships, so he is taking Spain of intimidation. Here I am. Send your best guy I meet them in the Valley. It will do it, man to man, and if I get the upper hand. Until then you all become our slaves and serve us I shower is the truth of Israel this day. Give me a man, and let us fight it out together, boom, boom, boom, I go down there up there. Let's charge in the Malaga, the no charge under all stand up and because they want to live like the battle and nobody out on top was to go into the valley and nobody alone was the walk down there meet July so verse twelve actually and appropriately stated its or David Bloom, the. He was the son of Jesse, if her type of effort into the Jesse, the father of eight sons, was himself to all to join Saul 's army. Jesse had three older sons go to war and the name of the signs appropriately are you a been a dad and Schama, David was the youngest so why remember those three brothers. They were the ones passed over by Samuel to be anointed King and David was anointed, so Jessie says to David take bread food to your brothers and get some cheese to regard the guidance and charge of the garrison that your brothers are under give him some food to when it arrived at camp just as the army was moving forward into battle formation, so there really is a battle formation are all dressed for battle. There are all up on the mountain and David comes up to the battle and now they are saying underscores get a nurse cry their battle cry. Going back and forth with each other, and then shouting the warcry and then David what will I greeted his brothers, and while they were talking the Philistine champion. There are all shouting, David arrives just in time for the Philistine champion Goliath of gap to step out from the front lines and the Philistines, and they gave his usual challenge and David heard him now. Remember back when David was anointed God came upon him. This is signifying to us. When God is in our life never reset about the light of God shining in our lives. We see things a little differently. We say things we see things, we see things, we see things we know. Thanks why we say because there is a different light that shines on how we see things than people who are not Christians. That's why we can be moved inside stirred to hear to see to know to do things just a little different but yet were challenged were challenged you really want to. You really will make a full of yourself who to be different to say what you're really thinking you want to. Are you really moved to deliver well, David Wooster. But David was not intimidated, because the Spirit of God in him stirred him to act upon this response. It wasn't David saying I'm going after Goliath. It was the spirit of God inside of David, saying, you can take this guy David starts to think about this. First, twenty four, after they heard all this, they fell back. The moment they saw the giant step from four forty five. During this and they were there and the moment they stabilize step out of the realm out of the ranks by takes a step backward. I'm not going down. I'm not going there swells that back strongly those situations where everybody steps back to David stander by himself ill volunteers, give them a fifty bags that happened first twenty four years or so. The man fell back. The moment they saw the giant. The talk among the troops was a window people you start you start listening to how people talk, you start understanding what their fears are, what their areas of that they feel intimidated by you begin to hear what people see when you listen to what they say is the man they help today. Have you seen to talk among themselves, have you seen any like this take Davidson amongst this group and this is what they're talking about and you say area like this. This man alternately and defiantly challenges Israel. What stirs and David the God of Israel. This man openly challenges the God of Israel, the man now Google talk is the man who killed a giant will have it made. Get it trying to gain courage and this is what the man who killed a giant will have it made why the case is going to give me huge rewards to get the daughter of the daughter of King Saul as a bride and three visit his family live a free ride to never have to pay taxes again so the motivation that saw given that a lot of his trip to the guy who killed Saul gets a big bonus if the marry my daughter, and never have to pay taxes again on your ready to go on the air ready to go now. Sign up today you get a big bonus. He married the king 's daughter and you never have to pay taxes again, you're your family. So that was the motivation supposedly the motivation gets all dissolving in some of his men to attack nobody was buying David had courage he had the courage and the stirring in his heart to take on Goliath before he found out about the reward good, but before David to face Goliath. Yet the faces Giants is first-time verse twenty eight not to the lab oldest brother. What is happened in the lab. He's been passed over these been passed over by the prophet and his youngest brother, whose visit what he can do watches sheep does women's work was anointed in a lab. His older brother heard David fraternizing with the men is David talking with the other soldiers in the lab. The big brother says to David and their wired to my -year-old business and technical scrawny flock of sheep out and it hasn't. I know what you're up to you. I'm done here to see the site open for a glimpse of ringside seat in a bloody battle that doing here. The first battle is those who intimidate us by those are the family members or people who are really close that can be little you in a moment in the thought and a glance, they can make you feel like your dirt note who you are. I was raised with you using you can do this is a given that you can live up to us. You don't hear you are such a lie from there to get away from these people oddities man-of-war, you little punk. I the first battle the data has to overcome is the intimidation of things of our past people who think they understand this and they put boundaries upon what we can or cannot do while they make you feel incompetent, incomplete day. Verse twenty nine. David says that with you. Is it with you. They reply all I did was ask a question I was asked a question of easy minority who blow up like I'm I've done something entirely wrong. People who respond to you in ways that are not really adequate for the situation, not really part of what's going on. They are carrying a lot of garbage from the past and trying to stifle you are in the present. What do David do it, ignoring his brother, he turned to someone else and ask the same question we got the same answer question was discussed and banging on shields and defined. But you mean to tell me the guy who kills him the big reward. Mary King 's daughter and a half lives, free hentai from taxes so being rewarded for doing good is not bad thing. Hello, being a wise steward is learning how to handle the property. What used in the hands wisely so the things David was saying were picked up and reported to solve David is talking about it. You can't justify God. And so people is the first ounce of courage and buddies found an alarming for forty days and somebody picks up an executive assaulting salt found a guy we file this with other students also younger daughter might be at a distance can be our societies are societies out there and it now went to false all haters out there knows what he should don't know for you okay and on-air, but I also wanted his cargo. We found somebody so well saw him. Verse thirty two masters of the Doug and I hope I'm ready to go like this philistine don't give up hope. What does intimidation do takes away the people, the Army 's all the King all had lost hope by the intimidation of soul by the intimidation of Goliath. David wasn't intimidated he had lost hope because in a guess and hope you said so after David, you can go like this posting. You're too young and inexperienced and he's been at this fighting business since before you were born. Goliath is a man of war. They know how to kill is a killing machine. You think you're going to go through this down call us to do something he hasn't prepared us for David in the next versus as well, you know, I'm now watching the sheep, but the lion in the bear wealth of, attacked my flock. I was able to take him down. I was able to love them of the lambs that were in their mouth. I took them down. I killed them now. No one is around to see David doing this, and no one would believe his tail again. I goes on to say in left hogtied about how I killed all I get out of you you writing kid didn't do that failure was making up stories for so he was able to tell anybody, but David Newman is high. The essays the line. He had faith of their intake on this diet. God had prepared him before the battle began, you see life prepares us for where were going. When God is in our life in God is in the heart is a prepared preparation going on. God is preparing me for what's coming, so these battles and I'm facing our ways of God, giving you strength for where I'm at and also to earn growing day. I like to be in the verse saw was the first thirty seven Davises about how he taken online. The bear than solstice golf and God help you a you go right ahead. I'm right behind what you give out on your face in an all right out there on the right guy to hope I'm black you go so the second time they've has to face his majority of people who are over us positionally also, Rob Ross and way of business and position David is a shepherd. Saul is a king what he saw one David to do they put on the soldiers armor solves own personal armor, put on his bronze helmet make them look bigger pay belted his sword around him. I got the King source and then it tried to walk and he could even walk someone trying to make you something that you're not. That's the second time. David has the face. Somebody trying to make you something that you want, and they have position overdue. You need to listen to them, they vanish they are experienced and what they do. They are express them what they need to tell you to do so. Therefore, they will tell you how to be a man of war. While nobody was a man of war, Scott Donner Flag Day to fight Goliath. So what you try to make me something that doesn't work now in everyday battles in everyday things. This is how you do things and they would never let them know we didn't all of his life never disarm or later on when he has the clean whenever he is going to lead the battles and war. He dresses in his armor, things like that but for this battle in this place and this time he's not going to do with the way other people telling him he knows in his heart. This battle is different. That's what we have to know in our heart. When people who are over us positionally are trying to make us do something that's really not us. There are giant. The third giant is being intimidated by those are just better than you what you are about to do Goliath is a killing machine, you are going to go to battle with him. There is no way this matches up it doesn't match up on paper it doesn't match up line on no man for man, to helmet position to position. Yet all your writing cat. He's a man of war. You don't even have a helmet to helmet the people casually carrying it out when you relocate and carry a sword or cherry issue, you got it when you know you're going along with this guy and you're this. I doesn't match the David is looking at match for match is going by what he knows in his heart and what you know when your heart what you know what God has called you to do is one God, and you are together makes a majority that when I finally do things totally out of character, but were looking at things within our own life that God has spoken to you about, and he will give you that strength, and he will give you that dream. He will give you the desire to accomplish something and when you look at you. First is the norm in a matchup intimidation, says Boeing and try to fail, but you see, God says. The majority. Let's go into this day. David took his shepherd 's staff. He selected five smooth stones from the brook, and people. Why did he chose five had four brothers agreed on in the chapter 's Goliath had four brothers, neighbors would take on the whole family dynamic of five stones from the brook, and he has a staff that is linked with the stones in his will, but his pouch. He goes verse twenty one at the Philistine paced back and forth. Goliath is ready to kill. I'm white. I am an killing machine. I can take on anybody you psyched for the war. He has psyched for the battle. He's prancing back and forth waiting for them to send somebody into the battleground in which he has gone it just apart and Goliath is prancing and he has done his thing and then and then you do it took one look down on him on David and sneered on their youngster, apple cheeked and pleased flies can't come in to do more doubtful with me. The fellow status guy is totally insulted. Now this is not a battle. This is a slaughter and you want me to face him, I will slaughter him. He ridiculed Daimon my dog. Verse forty three, after me with a stick trust him. He cursed his God is the that's what makes the difference. People will curse God motivates you and ridiculing you where your beliefs because you can't go forward, because says you don't listen to that with us in a still small voice. First, forty four, come on, say, the Philistine make you roadkill that you know what wrote there was a international sum, the deer and animallike crossroad of horse check on Mister Rocha, what's wrong that any of the new translation on your roadkill hi, and for your review of the buzzard meat. I'll turn you into a tasty morsel for the field mice, and he's throwing the baby 's insult of David. David answered him, come on, you content me with a sword, and with a spear and a battle lacks. I counted you in the name of the God of the Angel armies, the God of Israel 's troops see resetting the battle battles now set. This is the just David against Goliath. This is the God who spoke to David and anointed David a God who called Israel. The God who spoke to Abraham, Isaac, at the same God working down to their life and when this guy, this Goliath versus Israel and their God. He is cursing the God who created the heavens and the art. And when God was in our hearts and our lives stays to us. If the God who created the heavens of the earth, and it is not that person that is in the fence stars my heart and start the trains and stars need to move and that it is particular direction. I looked in all cars are God, they're not just cursing you cursing our God. God is going to move to his people. Well this very day as David speaking this very day. God is handing you over to me. I am about to kill you cut off your head, and so on your body and bodies of your fellow state bodies to the crows and the coyotes, Boris will know that there is an extraordinary God of Israel, and everyone gathered there here will learn that the God that God doesn't save by means of us what is clear, the battle belongs to God. He's handing you to us on a platter with here is discharge of a man who's been pacing and plotting to kill that aroused the Philistine ad he started toward David, what do David do with the essay got up there. David took off from the frontline running towards the Philistine when they are intimidated when you go back off we go towards intimidation creates fear. It is putting things in perspective is realizing that we are in this and we are in this for the long haul and we must do battle with those intimidations until we defeat them. And David was the thinking intimidation of his brother. He was defeating the termination of Saul that he was a man of authority over him. He was defeated, the man who was better than him in battle there was a killing machine, and here comes this run a little kid running another Valley got a take on the giant David raced into his pocket for honest though, and he slotted and he had that guy right between the and is sunk deep into his four hundred Bible says they come crashing to the ground. Those slings can get a very powerful punch to them. I saw a guy knock things over with a spring in Israel and I mean it was our boom and David took on the line in the bear again in the inability to know the what he possessed under the anointing of God had a different impact than just heal loan. This is where we are now lives that David Bingham of Palestine with a sling a stone economic children. No sword for David blood justifying install these are not many things that intimidate us in life. The whole doesn't frighten us and take us back. God stirs our heart by giving us the impression of his spirit. It isn't something rooted URL is something God, and are going to do to get together and when Don and I go together we will make a difference because God will make a difference in my life and what I do see that's where life is about allowing God to fill us with his spirit that we not allow ourselves to be intimidated by life. Why people buy things as we move forward we forgive, but still the past would go of the things that hold us in place, forgive and let Echo God has a future in front of us as his spirit stirs our hearts and makes us capable of seeing things differently than anyone else with regard to us. That's the story of David and his defeating of his Giants and that's our story to story that makes us different than people who don't believe in an so is there
