I have a portion and I want everyone's
attention.
No one moving about.
In the 9th verse, we might start at
the 8th verse.
Back in 1 Samuel 17, 17 and 8.
And he stood and cried unto the armies
of Israel, and he said unto them, Why
are you come out to set your battle
in a ray?
Am I not a Philistine, and ye the
servants of Saul?
Choose you a man for you, and let
him come down to me.
And if he be able to fight with
me and kill me, then will we, the
Philistines, be your servants and serve you.
But if I prevail against him and kill
him whom you send down, the same, then
you shall be our servants and serve us.
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies
of Israel this day.
Give me a man that we may fight
together.
And Saul and all Israel heard these words
of the Philistines.
They were dismayed greatly, and they were greatly
afraid.
The word here says that Goliath came and
presented himself forty days and forty nights against
Israel.
And he said, We want this to be
settled man to man.
We want Israel to find a man among
you that is capable of coming down and
fighting against me, Goliath.
And if he can prevail against me and
whip me, then all Israel is free, and
we will become your servants.
And Philistines will be the servants to Israel.
But if I prevail against him and kill
him, then Israel shall be our servants and
serve us.
And it said these words of the Philistines
caused Saul and all Israel to be greatly
amazed, and they were sorely afraid.
For forty days and forty nights there was
no man found among the children of Israel
that could answer the challenge of Goliath.
It described in detail his size and all.
It said that he was nine feet and
six inches tall.
When I hold my hand as high as
I can hold it, then about twelve inches
on the other side of my hand is
where his head would be.
So you can imagine when this great giant
came down and appeared before Israel, and it
said he was a warrior from his youth
as a child.
He knew how to handle the spear.
And he had an armor bearer going before
him.
He had a coat of mail.
He had every part of his body covered
with metal, only a place where he could
flip up by his forehead.
And he had a very heavy guttural voice.
And he comes out and defies the armies
of Israel for forty days.
And the fortieth day there happened to be
a man anointed by God's prophet Samuel that
had the Spirit of God come upon him.
His name is David.
He happened to come down from his father's
house with bread for his brethren.
It's a beautiful type of Jesus Christ all
the way through.
Jesus said, I am the bread that come
from my Father, and I have come to
my own.
He came to bring bread.
He came to his own, his own received
him not.
He brought bread to his brethren.
His brethren rejected him and said, we know
the naughtiness of thine heart.
Where have you left your sheep?
Go on back to your sheep.
You've come down here to get in this
battle and just to holler and all.
Said, you need to go back.
So he was rejected.
So Christ was.
It's all a beautiful type.
But while David was there, there was a
giant stepped out, and now David is God
anointed.
Because Samuel laid his hands upon him, and
the Spirit of God came upon David to
do a job for him.
And so he heard this Philistine the fortieth
day, and he said, I defy the armies
of Israel this day.
Send me down a man that will fight
against me.
And when he got through, he said to
the one next to him, and his brethren
heard him, he said, what's going to be
done about this guy that's challenging Israel?
Who's going to answer his challenge?
And they said, nobody.
Saul can't get anybody.
We don't have anybody in all of our
realms anywhere that can meet this fellow.
If he goes out there, it's not like
an army with army, because it's man with
man.
When we go out there, we're watching.
That fellow that's going out to meet that
giant is going to be the one to
decide whether I'm going to be a servant
of the Philistines, or whether I'm going to
be free in Israel or not.
If our side whips and our fireman delivers,
kills the giant, then we're free.
But if not, then we're servants, and we've
listened to this for forty days, but we
don't have anybody we can trust.
David said, what's going to be done to
the fellow that'll go out?
He said, Saul said he'll let him marry
his daughter, and give him a great position
in his kingdom.
Well, he said, I'd like to see Saul.
And they sent word to Saul and said,
there's a man that won't see about taking
that challenge.
And so the brethren came by and said,
come here, David, read it.
I just read it a while ago.
And it said, what do you mean?
Where have you left your sheep?
We know the notice of thine heart.
What are you doing talking to these army
men around here?
You went to the captain here and was
talking about that.
What do you think you can do?
He said, Eli, that was one of his
brethren, he said, is there not a cause?
Don't you think it's high time somebody answers
that guy and calls his bluff?
And so the king said, whoever that is
that's talking, said he'll take him over, bring
him up here.
And when he got him in, he opened
up the door and walked in.
The king said, where's the fellow that's going
to take that Goliath?
He said, I'm the one.
You?
And read it.
I just read it.
It said, why, son, you're a stripling.
My sermon today is dealing with your giant.
Dealing with your giant.
I said your giant.
You say, I haven't got any.
But you have.
And I'm talking about dealing with your giant.
I'll tell you what your giant is.
But here David comes in before the king.
Now King Saul looks at him.
He's a pretty big, heavy fellow himself.
He looks down on David, a little stripling
fellow there, with his little sling shot, had
it in his shepherd's bag.
And he just stood there without it.
And he said, son, what is your purpose
in coming?
I said, I'm answering the challenge of that
fellow.
He said, you see, you don't know who
I am.
It doesn't make no difference.
But he said, I'm a shepherd boy.
And the other day there was a bear
came out of the woods and got one
of my little lambs.
And you know what I did?
The God of heaven anointed me and I
went in and I grabbed that bear.
And I ripped that bear, that lamb out
of his paw.
And then I slew the bear.
And he said a few days later a
lion came in and grabbed one of my
lions.
And I rushed in, grabbed that lion and
grabbed the lamb out of its mouth and
took that lion by the beard.
And I slew that lion and left his
corpus there.
And the God that delivered me out of
the paw of the bear and the mouth
of the lion will deliver me out of
the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine that's out
there defying the arm of the living God.
I said, I'm ready to go.
Did that really happen?
Yes.
He said, it sure did, sir.
Well, you depend on God.
Well, he said, I believe Israel believes God,
so come in here.
I'll fix you up.
And he put his heavy armor on him.
And his heavy iron, you know, put his
armor coat on him, the coat of mail.
And Isaac put it all over him, you
know.
And David tried to move around that thing.
And he had a great big old sword
strapped on him.
And he said, Saul, unbuckle this thing, would
you?
He said, what's the matter, son?
He said, well, you're fixing me to where
he can't get me, but that's not the
thing.
I'm going to get him.
So just turn me loose and let me
use what I've tried.
I'm not going to depend on this armor
anyway.
I am depending on the God of heaven
to deliver me.
And so if you'll take it off.
And Saul took it off.
He said, what you going to do?
He reached in and pulled out a little
old thin, light slingshot.
He said, I'm going down to the creek
and get me a rock, and I'm going
to take care of this job all by
myself.
And Saul looked at him and said, son,
go and God be with you.
And I imagine if he turned around to
walk off, he said, and if God don't
go with you, you are sure gone, because
a little old stripling, tending to his father's
sheep, wasn't even qualified to get down in
the trenches with a normal common army, and
here you come and going to go out
against a guy whose head is almost 14
inches higher than the end of my fingertips.
He was a giant.
And brother, I'm talking about giants.
And David went down, you know the story.
He went down there, and when he came
out, it was Bellerin again.
And David said, I'm coming against you.
He looked down and he saw him, and
he raised that thing up so he could
talk to him kind of good, you know,
like this.
And he said, what do you think I
am, a dog coming here?
You don't even have a spear.
He didn't even have a spear or a
sword.
He said, you come to me with an
armor bearer.
You've got a fellow there by you with
a big shield, and you've got a coat
of mail, and you've got a spear and
a sword, and you've practiced with it.
He said, you come to me, and you
make your boast.
But he said, I come to you in
the name of the Lord God of Israel.
And because you have defied the God of
Israel, God will deliver your head into my
hand this day, and I'll take it, and
I'll sever it from you, and I'll give
your flesh, and by the way, the armies
of the Philistines, I'll give them for dung
on the hillsides, and the jackals, and the
dogs, and the buzzards will eat them up.
And it made that giant so mad, he
stomped his feet.
Are you listening?
I'm talking about how to get rid of
your giant.
He stomped his feet and run toward David,
and when he did, David had that little
slingshot and put a little rock into it,
and he had five.
He went down and picked up five, and
the reason, Goliath had four brothers.
And he said, if your brothers want to
take this up, I've got a rock for
each one of them, too.
And he ran toward the giant, and he
just took the slingshot, and he whirled it
and turned it loose, with the understanding that
I am going to do the natural and
leave the supernatural to you, and sometimes when
we get in a line to come up
to have some little old preacher lay your
hands on him, you think, I don't see
no sense in that.
God didn't ask you to see any sense
in it.
He said, do it or die.
You can go bound, but you can be
delivered.
You don't see no sense in that.
Why, I can imagine his brothers back there
in the trench saying, suicide, suicide.
Don't look.
He's getting ready.
Our brother's getting ready to go.
He's getting ready.
Now look at him.
Look at the fool, leaving his little frog.
Now there he is, going up there, looking
way up at that old giant.
And that old giant looking down at him,
stomping his feet.
And David just took that one sling with
that rock, turned it loose, and how many
believe God got in it?
And that rock hit that old giant right
here in his forehead and busted his skull.
And when he did, the fraction knocked him
out cold as a cucumber.
He crashed to the ground with a big
noise like a bull.
Can you imagine it?
Now he wasn't a skinny little fellow.
Brother, I'm not skinny.
But suppose I, my head was up there,
12 inches on the other side of my
fingers.
That's what the Bible says, how tall he
was.
I've measured it.
Now, 12 inches on the other side.
You can imagine.
But he was in proportion to his height.
He was a great big fellow.
And he fell to the ground like a
big stuck bull.
And David didn't have nothing to kill him
with, so he just jumped up on top
of him, like he's jumping up on top
of an elephant or something.
Jumped up on top of him and reached
down and got his sword out of his
sheath, pulled it out, and went up to
the front part on his shoulders, standing on
top of him, you know, balancing.
Got his head, got his hair like that,
and whacked off his head, threw it over
his shoulder, and come back praising God.
How many believe that happened?
You know what they said?
Oh, everybody in Israel said, That takes care
of my giant.
What do you mean?
Boy, I'll tell you, it wasn't only David's
giant.
He was my giant.
When I went to sleep, I had to
sleep on the fact that if somebody don't
handle that boy, I can't.
But if somebody don't handle him, I've got
a giant on my hand.
That giant's going to make a slave out
of me.
That giant's going to bring me into captivity.
He's going to make me become a slave
to the Philistines.
And every day, all Israel, including Saul, when
they heard what he said, they feared greatly
and were perplexed.
Why?
Because they knew they had a giant on
their hand, and somebody had to deal with
it.
And brother, I'm going to tell you, there
was one and only one that could deal
with that giant, and that was David, the
type of Jesus Christ.
Everybody in Israel had a giant.
That little girl said, Daddy, now tell me
about it.
If somebody don't kill that giant, you mean
that we'll go captive, and the Philistines will
take us over, and we'll be slaves to
the Philistines?
Yes, honey.
We'll no longer be independent.
We'll no longer have kings.
We'll no longer have our privileges to go
to our house of worship.
We'll be slaves.
We'll be bucket carriers, water carriers, moppers.
We'll be that.
That little girl went to bed with a
giant.
Brother, that little girl had a giant that
needed to be dealt with.
But there was somebody that came on the
scene that dealt with that giant.
When he downed that giant, it meant that
he'd taken care of everybody's giant in Israel,
because everybody in Israel had a giant on
their hand.
Do you understand what I mean?
Listen to me closely here.
It says in the 11th verse, or here
in the 4th chapter, here it is, the
4th chapter, Jesus was led up of the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of
the devil.
And when he had fasted forty days and
forty nights, when the tempter came to him
and said, If thou be the Son of
God, let these stones become bread.
Now, in Luke it says that Jesus was
brought up into the wilderness to be tempted,
was led by the Spirit of God into
the wilderness to be tempted of the devil
forty days and forty nights.
Notice exactly what it says, And he was
there with the wild beasts, and the angels
ministered unto him.
He has just been baptized of John in
Jordan.
He has just made his appearing to Israel.
The day before, who knew anything about Jesus?
He had not made his appearing.
Even John didn't know who he was.
But he comes and is baptized.
And immediately he is led in the wilderness.
I want you to do one thing.
I want you to believe what God laid
on my heart to tell you, and it
is the truth.
When he got up out of that water,
the Holy Spirit began to lead him.
Where?
Go out to meet my giant.
Because Jesus had a giant on his hand,
he is not going to cast out any
devils, he is not going to have power
to give power to his disciples, to lay
hands on the sick and to raise the
dead, until he deals with the giant.
There is a giant that has got to
be dealt with, and the Bible said, If
the strong man keeps his palace, his goods
are in safekeeping.
But if a stronger man than he comes
and overcomes him and takes away his armor
wherein he trusted, then he can spoil his
household.
Jesus said, That's what I did when I
went out to meet the devil.
When I see him going over the hillsides
into the wilderness, I say to God, God,
where is he going?
He is going to get the giant.
He was not only Christ's giant, but brother,
he was the world's giant.
He was my giant.
He is your giant.
Because it was there that when he had
taken care of Satan and conquered him, it
is there that brings us the deliverance.
You don't push a button and get your
deliverance, bud.
You get it from Jesus.
Let me say this.
There was a day I had a big,
plenty big giant, and it needed to be
dealt with.
I tried out over how many times to
deal with it, but I couldn't.
It was too big for me.
But one day I came to Jesus, and
it's the same as all Israel had a
giant on their hand, because he was defying
the armies of the living God, which involves
slavitude to all Israel.
But David delivered them out of it.
Jesus Christ went out.
Up until this time, nobody had met the
challenge of the devil.
But the devil was saying the same as
Goliath, Send me down a man that can
come against me.
Moses came, but he wasn't able to go
against him.
Joshua came, but he wasn't able to go
against him.
Isaiah, Daniel, all those great men, but they
were not able to go against him.
But when Christ came, he went out against
the devil.
He went out to meet him, and Satan
met Jesus Christ in the wilderness.
And he was fasted there forty days and
forty nights, and at the end of the
forty days fasting, brought great deliverance to Israel,
because he conquered the devil.
From then on, Jesus operated with a perfectly
free hand, because he had met the strong
man.
And when he said to the legion, Come
out!
The legions came out, because he had mastered
and bound the strong man.
We have a master.
It's Jesus.
He has mastered the strong man for us.
And how many believe?
The human race, when they come into the
world.
Brother, you have a giant on your hand,
and you are not capable of coping with
the giant until you come to Jesus.
And when you come to Jesus, brother, the
shackles fall off, and you are liberated from
things you never could be delivered from through
Jesus Christ.
Let me say this, and I'll be coming
to a close right away.
It says that God swore unto our father
Abraham that we being delivered out of the
hands of our enemy.
You know who that enemy is?
It's your giant.
Do you know what I mean?
It's your giant.
You say, What's a giant?
Something that's just a little bit too big
for you to cope with.
I find good people, they've mastered a lot
of things, but they've still got one thing
they're trying to wrestle with.
You say, Well, can they ever get victory?
Sure can.
Lay aside every weight and the sin which
does so easily beset you.
God swore unto our father Abraham that we
being delivered out of the hands of our
enemies, we could serve God without fear in
holiness and righteousness all the days of our
life.
This morning, there's not a person here, but
what in your lifetime, you have had a
giant.
You may have brought that giant to Christ
and let him conquer it, but there's people
today that's got a giant in their life.
Some is temper.
That temper flies off of the handle and
it brings you more problems and trouble.
It separates you from God.
It gets you in touch with God and
you have a hard time trying to pray
through.
You know you shouldn't do it.
But when it reaches a certain point, you
blow your stock and you plow for the
handle and you try and try and try
to quit.
You can't.
Brother, I'm going to tell you, it's bigger
than you are.
You've tried in vain and you cannot overcome
it.
I'll say that you can come to Jesus
Christ.
There is no giant, but what Christ Jesus
can loose you and set you free.
You think that God wants His children to
go to heaven constantly with a giant in
your life, and that thing every time the
devil wants to take you captive at His
will, He'll just push a button and off
goes your temper?
He wants you to come to God and
let Jesus Christ take care of the giant
because He's taken care of the big giant
back there which brought liberation to God's kingdom.
Am I right?
Because other people's got a giant of lust.
They go along a few days and they
cope with things, but the first thing you
know, that monster straddles you and the devil
takes you captive at His will and that
lust flies up and takes over your mind.
And in spite of your knowledge and hearing
tongues and interpretation and God's message on holiness
and purity, and knowing that we are Christians,
Christlike, we lust and give ourselves to the
devil and we turn over and commit fornication.
And if you don't go through the act,
it's because you didn't get a convenient opportunity.
Lust drives you.
And then they pray, they repent, and they
cry out to God, Oh God, I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I've made a mistake.
And then God comes on the scene, helps
them, but the first thing you know, in
a few days, a few weeks, a few
months, He pushes the button and that same
old thing, you've tried to get bigger than
it, but when it comes in all of
its temptation, it's a little bit bigger than
you are.
It's your giant.
You haven't been able to master it.
But I'm going to tell you tonight, or
this morning, that there is a God-given
way that once and for all, God can
kill that thing, He can kill that giant,
and you do not have to be enslaved
to it, but we are more than conquerors
through Him.
God said He'd deliver us out of the
hands of our enemies.
Any kind of sin, some people may have
a cigarette habit, and they'll go for a
while and not smoke, and then the first
thing you know, that thing's going to hold
them and back they go after they've been
delivered a good while.
How many say amen to that?
Oh, they just try.
But they better try it.
You know what?
Why don't you confess it's bigger than you?
Well, I'll just lay it aside.
To me, it's buttermilk.
Lay it aside.
Take me out and strike a match to
me, to one end of me.
Stick the other end in your mouth.
The first thing you know, you say, you
reach up and get it, stick it in
there.
You fire up one end of it, stick
the other in your mouth, and you go
puffing.
You don't want to.
You know God don't want you to.
It's not good for you.
It's not an example for young boys and
girls today.
It's not the best for your body.
The Holy Ghost is not pleased with it.
You know all that, but there's something bigger
that caused you to do it.
What?
You got a giant.
David knew he had a giant.
Need to cope with a guy like that.
But he said, Thank God I'm operating on
God's power.
Jesus Christ taking care.
How many believe there's nothing that'll come to
conquer you?
But what Christ came to master the giant,
and through Christ we're more than free.
We're more than conquerors through Him.
Love this.
People whirly.
Whirly.
Want to watch something vulgar.
Something comes on television.
Woman throws her leg up a little bit.
Oh, you just hoped it'd be a little
higher.
Oh, well.
No, I wouldn't.
Of course, I'm here, and I didn't put
it on the television.
It's turned on.
I'm just looking at it.
There is a button there.
But you want to turn the button.
You know you ought to turn it.
But the giant's a little too big for
you.
You'll go ahead and feed on that slop
for a while.
Can you say amen?
Whirliness.
Can you say amen?
Whirliness is going to send more people to
hell.
That once new God.
Why?
Because it is one of the great masterpieces
of the devil.
And brother, God said don't have nothing to
do with the world.
It said if any man loved the world,
the love of the Father is not in
him.
If you're a friend of the world, you're
an enemy of God.
He doesn't mean the animals.
He doesn't mean the trees.
He doesn't mean the beautiful world in itself.
He means the spirit of the world today.
There are too many Christians, brother, so entrenched
and rooted in the world until they're affected
by the world.
They give most of their time to the
things, the pleasures, and the sports of the
world and very little to God where if
they could conquer the thing and put it
in its right place, God would get his
part that he requires out of your life.
You may have a certain type of sport
that you especially love.
If you just say, well, I'm not going
to do it.
I'm just going to go a week and
just tell God I love him, and I'm
not going to even have anything to do
with it.
Oh, you'll grow your stack.
Oh, I just can't stand it.
I've just got to have that.
What's the matter?
Is it bigger than you?
Cowboys are all right.
If I reach a place I couldn't reach
over in time, I'm going to snap them
off and go about my business.
I've got something bigger than I can handle.
I look to cowboys.
I don't mind looking at them.
But I know one thing.
I know one thing.
If they stand the least bit between me
and my duty toward God and my feeding
my soul and my praying and my reading,
and if I don't give God the time
either on my knees or in that way
that he requires, but I'm giving too much
to the things of the world, I've got
a giant, and brother, I can't push it
off with a button.
It takes God to do it.
How many people believe people can go to
the extreme, be tempered in all things?
Some things are all right in their place,
like the fellow playing golf.
He was out there on Sunday, and a
funeral procession came by, and he took off
his hat.
He bowed as it went by, and his
buddy said, Whoo!
Never did know you taking your hat off
and bowing to a funeral procession.
You come out here and shoot your little
golf all day, putt around from putt to
putt.
He said, How come you taking off your
hat?
Well, he said, That's the first time my
wife ever come by in a hearse going
to be buried.
That's putting it in the wrong place.
You say, He neglected his wife.
She was going to the funeral, yeah, and
maybe he did that while she was alive.
Maybe he neglected his children.
I say this, do all the sports you
can.
At the same time, be a good dad.
Discharge your duty to your children, to your
wife, to your husband.
And we have duties to require, and if
you don't watch, we find ourselves in ruts,
and we try to get out of them,
and you think, Oh, I'm not in a
habit.
I saw an old boy.
He was full of hot air.
I saw him, and he'd chew on a
cigar.
And he was always chewing on a cigar.
He knew it would light the end of
it, because he was living with a religious
wife.
His mama was apostolic, 100% plus exploded.
She was apostolic all over.
And so, he knew he'd catch too much
thunder that way.
But he said, Oh, I'm not in a
habit of it.
It never bothers me.
But finally began to smoke a little bit,
said I can let it down any time
I want to.
I saw him four years later, and he
was smoking one after the other.
I said, Hey, Tom.
That's his name.
I said, I notice you have a light
one off the other.
Yeah, he said, Well, I can put it
in any time I want to.
I said, Yeah, but you don't want to,
do you?
Well, he said, I could.
I said, Why don't you lay it down
right now and try it.
You know why?
He had something he couldn't push above and
get rid of.
Brother, he had a giant on his hand.
We take the little liquor bottle, and you
can let that be a giant.
You can take that long, slick, gossipy tongue
that you just let rattle over the telephone,
and you don't want to do it.
Oh, no.
You know, God's talked about it through tongues
and interpretation.
The preachers preached about it.
And you can't carry it into heaven.
You've got to get it sanctified down here.
But it wants to bottle.
It wants to lab around.
And you found somebody doing something wrong.
Oh, yeah, but what you're doing is worse
than all of it.
And you get on the phone, and God
said, Don't do that.
That's not right.
You take two or three short breaths, and
you hang it up.
And you'll say, Praise the Lord.
Where's my mop?
And you'll get around the first thing, and
you'll look at the phone.
Praise the Lord.
Mary.
Yeah.
What you doing, Mary?
You know, I have to tell you something.
I promise not to tell nobody.
I'm telling it to an old gospel.
And when she gets through, she's empty and
flat.
She's popped off.
She's blabbered.
And look to the words, They wanteth not
sin.
Call that line.
It's busy, busy, busy, busy, busy.
Call that line 15 minutes later.
Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy.
Call it again.
Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy.
You go up and say, They wanteth not
sin.
You say, Is that bad?
Bad enough to send you to hell.
And another thing.
Did you ever see an old gospel?
Unless he hit the aisle, let someone lay
their hands on him and come before God
and let the great giant killer get a
hold to you.
And you say, God, it's damnable and hellish.
Take it out.
Stomp on it.
Give me victory.
And you turn against that thing as long
as you nestle it.
And you whimper it.
And you give it a little bottle.
And you give it a little pacifier.
And you say, Come on, goo, goo, goo,
honey.
I don't mean to be mean at you.
We funnel our sins like that.
It grieves the Holy Ghost.
How many got giants in your life?
Oh, brother, these giants, I'm going to have
my way.
What did you say?
Well, you can just jump in the lake.
I'll not do it.
Quit acting like that.
Push a button and quit acting like that.
You know what's the matter with you?
You've got a giant.
I'm going to say this.
David, there's a price they had to pay
to get rid of Goliath.
There's a price Jesus paid when he met
Satan.
He fasted 40 days and 40 nights.
And after him fasting, he met Satan.
It cost him something.
Let me say this.
Though it cost him, all God said you
have to do is rise to your feet,
get in an aisle and come down and
let my servant that I have anointed and
laid my hands on him.
And I said, the ministry of laying on
of hands, when they lay their hands on
an individual, I am the giant killer.
And if they come with a giant in
their life, and I want you to stop
right now and say, God, what is my
giant?
What is the thing I constantly pray?
I know you're not pleased with it.
It hinders me.
And I've tried and tried.
Do you mean to tell me, Jesus, and
say, honey, I'm sorry?
Just like Goliath, he's hauling out there, but
I can't do you no good.
How many believe that when he won the
victory, it was an understanding that God's kingdom
goes free.
The Bible said Jesus conquered the devil, who
had power over death, which is the devil.
He conquered him.
And that means anything in your life that
needs to be conquered, Jesus conquered it.
If you are out of the kingdom, you
can't have victory over it, because, brother, God
doesn't give his deliverance to those in the
kingdom of Satan.
But if we're a child of God and
we're having problems, which many people are, it
costs something for Jesus to set you free.
This morning, if you have a giant in
your life, it could be that giant that
keeps God from performing the miracle on your
body.
Let me say it again.
It could be that giant that keeps God
from performing the miracle on your body.
I want them to bring out the picture
to show you what price Jesus paid.
And then I'm wanting those this morning that
has a miracle in your body that needs
to be performed.
There's a miracle.
It would take a miracle to perform it.
I want them to come out with this
painting and turn it around, and I want
them to show this congregation.
And as you come up, I want you
to realize, and you can turn it one
way and then turn it around, back up,
Brother G., and let them see it over
this way.
Now, you'll say, how do you know that's
exactly lacking?
As far as earthly knowledge is concerned, there
were paintings painted from the very original.
There was no one standing taking paintings.
We know that.
But we know that this is the type
of post they had.
We do know that your Bible tells you
in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that they
bound Christ with his hands, and they brought
him in, and they tied him to a
post, and it said the Roman soldiers took
a plait with steel pieces on the end
of them, and they opened up his back,
and as his back was opened up, the
blood poured out of his back.
Jesus, right after this whipping, he gets ready
to go out to Calvary, and all the
sins of the world are going to be
laid on him.
All of our maladies, all of our tempers,
all of our giants are laid on him.
And there, when God turns His face from
His Son, with His eyes bleeding, the thorn
of crowns is piercing in.
It's coming down.
His eyes are bloodshot.
Blood has been pouring out, because it said
they opened up his back with the steel
things.
The great, big, giant-like Roman soldiers threw
the court forty long licks on him and
ripped his back open, bloody, and so much
blood lost.
He was staggering under his cross when they
took Simon and said, You must carry that.
He went out, and they spiked his hands,
and they spiked his feet.
He hung there for six long hours, with
blood running out.
He paid a price to conquer your giant.
But when he said, Father, it's finished.
Thank God, and then the book said Peter
said, By whose stripes you were healed.
Oh, when you come up, I don't care
what that healing is, if you'll come to
Jesus, the giant killer, that's taken care of
every affliction, every giant.
He's able to master your problem.
You can turn around now and take it
back.
I'm going to the front.
I mean here to the front, and I
want you that are bound.
You have a giant.
You say, I'm afraid if I stand, people
won't know what my giant is.
They already know what your giant is.
You're afraid to stand.
God honor a man that'll stand and move
forward and let Jesus Christ do what He
can do.
Let me ask you, if I ask you
a question right now, do you have things
in your life that you found that you're
not big enough to master?
They master you.
You know they're all, but they're mastering you.
What are they?
Call them.
Oh, I just got a little thing.
That's a lie from hell.
Brother, it's bigger than any big thing you've
ever got rid of, because you got rid
of all the rest of them, and you're
wrestling with it yet.
Don't say, I've whipped all of them, but
I just got a little thing.
The little thing you're talking about is bigger
than the rest of them.
If it's a big, you haven't been able
to master it.
And I'm going to tell you, God worked
on me for years after I got saved
and filled with the Holy Ghost and preaching
the gospel.
And I'm going to tell you one thing.
God ain't finished with me yet.
I said, God ain't finished with me yet,
and I'd like to see the little holy
sanctified sister stand to your feet and say,
I don't need anything that Jesus has for
me.
I'm perfect.
Read all I should.
Pray all I should.
Visit and win souls for Jesus every day.
I pray for the preacher every day.
I really have the burden of the church.
I carry it.
Really carry the burden of the church.
You say, should I?
You should.
And you're guilty if you don't carry the
burden of the church.
If it's not carried, God help.
What will happen to the church if someone
don't carry it?
Am I to carry it?
You say, are you preaching too long?
Oh, no.
That may be your giant you need to
get rid of.
This little giant right here, brother, you ought
to get rid of it.
How many days a week do you fast?
I don't preach like this every Sunday, but
I am today.
I'm saying this.
If you've got a giant, and you're not
bringing it to Jesus, and you want Him
to set you free from it, you carry
it out that door.
Put its little pacifier on.
You're about to get rid of you, weren't
you?
About to get rid of you.
And you put that in and you say,
boy, they just go after that pacifier.
I'm going to tell you, you've got to
reach a place, and you've got to be
like grown men in dealing with things of
the world today.
How many believe we've got more sin and
more power of the devil in the world
today than we ever have before?
How many believe that we've got more worldliness
creeping into the church than ever before?
The world is looking for somebody as an
example of what God can do.
You take your temper and you put it
on the altar and say, God, kill it.
It's a little thing like Abraham giving up
Esau.
Sure hate to do it.
Said, you've got to either get rid of
him or Isaac.
And, brother, I'm going to tell you, there's
a lot of people getting rid of their
Isaacs because they won't get rid of their
Ishmael's.
Both of them can't stay in the same
house.
One's after the flesh, and the other's after
God.
How many believe that this kind of preaching
will get you to heaven?
This morning, we've got the oil here.
I want someone to get the oil out
of that pulpit.
I want one of our elders to come
here and anoint with oil as I pray.
I want individuals here, before we leave, I
want you to come and get in line
here.
And I want us all to ask God
right now that as they come forward, I'm
not going to spend a long time.
I'm just going to put my hand on
them.
And I'm going to believe that God Almighty
is going to get rid of the giant
in their life.
I want everybody in this building right now
that wants God to help you.
And I want to keep this open here
because when I pray for them, I want
them to go right on through here in
the prayer room for just a few minutes.
And then we can be dismissed.
You can go wherever you want to.
But we're going to pray.
Now, look, I want everybody in the building
to raise their hand with me right now.
And I want you to say these words.
Say, Jesus, when Brother Hibbard lays his hands
on him, take over as a giant killer
and take care of the giant in that
life the minute he puts his hand on
him.
Will you do it?
Raise your hand.
Father, we pray that you'll take care of
every person here this morning that has need.
We pray that you'll loosen them in Jesus'
precious name.
For Christ's sake, thank God.
Touch this soul.
Thank Him for it.
God, it's done.
We come to you just one rock and
one blow and the giant came down.
God, touch Him.
Deliver this boy right now.
Set this man free.
In the mighty name of Jesus, touch this
precious soul.
God, whatever the miracle is, touch this body
and heal it.
Oh, Kasaka, if you have need of a
healing in your body, believe that God's going
to heal you by His stripes.
By His stripes you were healed.
Father, touch this man.
God, heal every part of this body and
give him the need, every giant in his
life, and every need, every spiritual affliction.
God, help him right now.
Help this woman in Jesus' name.
You were healed.
You're not going to be healed, but whose
stripes?
You were healed.
You're coming up to accept what's already been
paid for.
God, do it right now in this life.
In Jesus' name, I come.
We pray right now.
Glory to God.
We're not servants to Saul.
You believe in God, that you want God
to take care of.
You tell God.
You thank God from that minute it's done.
Put them on you.
They're God's hands.
Where's the Holy Ghost?
To enforce it.
This means everything you need, brother.
In the name of Jesus, praise Him.
Boy, they're hitting the ground this morning.
Why?
Because he's a giant killer.
He said, honey, you
wait until Jesus takes care of him.
Glory to God.
