Giants

So I was going through some of my old notes and I came across this one from a message the Bishop T.D. Jakes preached last year. I thought it was pretty relevant to my life right now and I hope that you’re able to take something from it as well!

-           -God created you with more then one thing in you

->Don’t limit yourself to one thing

->Awaken the “other you” inside

  

             1 Samuel 17:12-29

-           -Giants are always at the gate

-          -David was in touch with all sides of himself

->He was after God’s own heart

-         - Greatness sneaks up on you and shows itself to you in mighty ways

         -Despise not the day of small beginnings

->It doesn’t matter where you start, only where you finish

-        -If it’s not the thing, it’s the thing that will lead to the thing

->You may not be doing exactly what you’d like to be doing but the Lord has a purpose for this season in your life, to prepare you for the next one

-        -God is about to take you out of your element

->His own divine purpose

-         -You know you’re called to do something when you have the fight in you for something that others have fear for

-        -Courage is a sign of your calling!

-        -Run into something that others are running away from

-        -Your past prepares you for your destiny

-         The devil wouldn’t be fighting you if he didn’t know you were going somewhere

1.      The Giant = the gate to your wealth

a.     Close to your wealth

b.      You may not be able to see increase, but you can always see the giant

2.     Shift your position

3.      Everything associated with you will be blessed

-       -If you have a problem it’s a sign that you are close to your greatness

-       -For every giant has a gate

-       -You can’t delay your battle while you’re waiting on your new equipment

-       -If you don’t invest in your dreams they won’t materialize

->Invest your rock -> David’s rock didn’t kill the giant, it knocked him out

-      -You kill the enemy with the very thing that he is trying to kill you with

-      -Don’t fear the giant!

->He can’t kill you -> He’s only here to move you (you pick the direction)

-     -If God calls you then He doesn’t want somebody else

->Don’t imitate others and their calling

-    -Everybody has a giant and he only tells you lies 

       If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll only do what you’ve already done!
