Fighting the Giants

Oh, to the King on the throne, you raise from your throne. Oh, we worship the King, yeah. Since then, angels bowed before you, ever stood their crowns before you, seated on the throne they cry out, Holy Ark, Holy Ark.

Since then, angels bowed before you, ever stood their crowns before you, seated on the throne. Since then, angels bowed before you, ever stood their crowns before you, seated on the throne they cry out, Holy Ark, Holy Ark.

Reached through all eternity, the praises of all reigning kings, seated on this melody, Holy Ark, Holy Ark, you lie. Holy Ark, you lie.

Jesus, worthy of praise and with one voice, lift up your name as we bow in reverence. To the King on the throne, the King on the throne as you enter into the room in your glory. We are consumed and we bow in reverence. To the King on the throne, the King on the throne.

Since then, angels bowed before you, ever stood their crowns before you, seated on the throne they cry out, Holy Ark, Holy Ark. Reached through all eternity, the praises of all reigning kings, seated on this melody, Holy Ark, Holy Ark, you lie.

Holy Ark, you lie. You do everything on purpose and I can feel your spirit stir. I've been praying you've been working, working it all for good.

So fan the flame and keep it burning. You'll refine it in the first. For the waiting will be worth it, because you're working it all for good. Miracle after miracle, open door after open door. Miracles, so get ready for another one, because another one is all the way.

Praise the Lord, men, we can stand to our feet. It's good to be in the house of the Lord again, amen. I'll say this, I was touched by the word that we received last night, I know about you, but that's a challenge, but it's also an encouragement to us that what we have been giving is precious. And it is powerful and it is capable to carry us through whatever we deal with in this life, amen. So I'm excited for what God has for us this morning, are you excited?

Amen, amen. Just some preliminaries real quick, just a reminder, we do have some water off to the side if you want to grab something real quick, please do so. And then please stay after, we're going to have a time of worship here, we're going to hear the word of God, but please stay just for a moment afterwards. We're going to go through the excursions, we're going to talk a little bit about how to get connected with those that are leading those groups. We don't want you to kind of wander off and get lost and not know where to go, so we're going to give you some instruction, so please stay after just a little bit.

And at this moment I'm just going to ask you to take a step of faith. Last night we had a wonderful service, we had an offering that we brought up, today we're going to do something similar. If you weren't here with us last night, here's a great opportunity, if you love coming to men's camp, if you love being a part of the men's ministry, you should be willing to give to support it. So whatever we do here can continually grow, it can expand, it can reach farther.

We can do many other things that maybe we're not possible to do in times past, but what you give goes back right directly into men's ministry. It helps support obviously this camp, but other things as well, so I would say a little prayer, I know God's got something on your heart already, but as we begin worship, as we begin to lead into this scripture or lead into this service, we are going to have an opportunity for you to give, so please come down and do that in a moment. I'll just say this, Psalms 34 says this, I will bless the Lord at all times, and his praise shall continually be on my mouth.

My soul shall boast in the Lord, and the humble shall hear thereof and be glad. And the last one in verse three, we should all know this, it says, oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. You know, when I read that scripture and I read magnify, one of the powerful things there is that, you know what, I can worship God on my own. I can come before the Lord, and I can experience his presence, and I can lift my own hands, and I can shout with my own voice.

And that has power, and that has authority, but guess what, when my fellow brother starts to do the exact same thing with me, and you begin to raise your hands and shout for the Lord, and the brother over here begins to do the same thing. Right? When we start to come together, guess what? Now we begin to magnify the Lord together. So that's what we are here to do today, man. We are going to magnify the Lord. So at this time, let's not be shy. Let's come down and worship God together and magnify him, amen.

Come on, let's pray. Jesus, we thank you for your presence today, God. We look forward, God, to what you have planned. God, so work with us today, God. Be in the ministry today, God. Work in our hearts, God. Help us today to be encouraged by your word, God. God, be in our worship today, Jesus. God, we just want to be a part of what you have planned today, God. God, so minister to each and every one of us, God. God, let us truly see transformation take place today. God, we rebuke every distraction, God. Everything that tries to exalt itself against your word, God.

We tear down strongholds today, God, for your glory and for your name, God. We're here to worship you and give you honor and give you praise. If we could give him a hand clap of praise. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah, Lord. You are worthy, Lord. Put your hands together this morning. Oh, the joy of the Lord is our strength. I've got a river that's flowing inside, it's full of life, it's ever growing.

I've got a fire and it's always lit, it won't go out, it's always burning. Come on, sing. You've given me joy, it's unspeakable joy, undeniable, unexplainable. I've got the joy of the Lord. Say, I've got a river that's flowing inside, it's full of life, it's ever growing.

I've got a fire and it's always lit, it won't go out, it's always burning. I've got a river that's flowing inside, it's full of life, it's ever growing. I've got a fire and it's always lit, it won't go out, it's always burning. You've given me joy, it's unspeakable joy, undeniable, unexplainable.

I've got the joy of the Lord. I've stepped in my heart, I've stepped down in my soul. Uncontainable, it's untable, but I've got the joy of the Lord. Holds my hands this morning, it won't mind, it won't accord it. Cause I've got joy on the inside, it feels like fire can't keep it out.

And I keep praising in the mid, the joy of the Lord is my strength. I've got joy on the inside, it feels like fire can't keep it out. Cause I keep praising in the mid, the joy of the Lord is my strength. You said, I've got joy on the inside, it feels like fire can't keep it out.

So I keep praising in the mid, the joy of the Lord is my strength. I've got joy on the inside, it feels like fire can't keep it out. So I keep praising in the mid, the joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

Here we go, everybody say. Say, I've got a river that's flowing inside, it's full of life, it's ever growing. I've got a fire and it's so wasteland, it won't go out, it's ever burning. You're giving me joy, it's unspeakable joy, undeniable, unexplainable.

I've got the joy of the Lord, down in my heart, say, down in my heart. Change out in my soul, uncontainable, insurmountable. I've got joy on the inside, it feels like fire can't keep it out. So I keep praising in the mid, the joy of the Lord is my strength.

I've got joy on the inside, it feels like fire can't keep it out. So I keep praising in the mid, the joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

The world didn't give it and the world can't take it away. No, thank you Lord God. Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus for your joy this morning. Thank you for your joy, Jesus. Holy worship you Lord, we praise you this morning Jesus.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. He's been my fourth man in the fire time after time. Born of his spirit and washed in his blood. And what he did for me on Calvary is more than none.

All together, come on, one voice, say, I trust in God. Lift your voice now. I say you're the one who will never fail. He will never fail. I trust in God. He's my Savior, the one who will never fail.

He will never fail. Perfect submission, all is at rest. So the author of tomorrow has ordered my step. So this is my story.

This is my song. I'm praising my risen King and Savior all the day long. I trust in God. He's my Savior, the one who will never fail. He will never fail.

I trust in God. He's my Savior, the one who will never fail. He will never fail. We worship you, Lord God. You're the God who's never failed us. You'll never leave us, never forsake us, Jesus.

We put our strength and hope in you, Lord God. I saw the Lord, and He heard, and He answered. I saw the Lord, and He answered. Come on, say!

You're the one who will never fail He will never fail I'll trust in God My Savior You're the one who will never fail He will never fail

Say I sought the Lord I sought the Lord and He heard That's why I trust him I sought the Lord

That's why I trust him Somebody praise the Lord That's why I trust him That's why I trust him I trust him because he heals I trust him because he delivers

I trust him because he's so free That's why I trust him That's why I trust him And God is my Savior You're the one who will never fail He will never fail

I trust in God He's my Savior You're the one who will never fail He will never fail Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, I'm the one who will never fail

I'm the one who will never fail Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Thank you brother Harris, amen Thank you music team, amen brother Boy Amen, what a great job last night today Amen, we're blessed, we're blessed, we're blessed Amen, he echoed for the parody

So what an incredible word of the Lord last night From our amazing men's director here in Wisconsin What a tremendous job, invest, amen Thank you brother Chapman Not only thank you for your word But thank you for your spirit Anybody can preach a great message which that was But amen, you can't fake your spirit Amen, amen, I gotta learn how to do that

Woo, woo, woo, woo I think that's the key Or was it the left leg, I'll get it down sometime Praise the Lord, amen, God bless you Thanks for being here, amen, amen, amen, amen Great, great men's camp Praise the Lord, praise the Lord I'll let you go back to your seats Or you want to stand up front the whole time It won't bother me, amen I'm from St. Paul, I can preach if people say amen

Or sleep on me, praise the Lord Now I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't sleep Amen I give honor to our district board Brother Herman, brother Pace had to leave Brother Myers had surgery I'm sorry, I had you sit down I do want you to stand in honor of God's Word I'm telling you what, I'm being difficult already

Numbers 13, verse 28 Give honor to Brother Bailey Press for section 3 Amen, Brother Shanky, press for section 4 Brother Fletcher, press for section 5 These are incredible men of God Amen, lead this district Could we give the district board a hand, amen Honor these men, praise God Praise God So excited about having brother Wade in our district

I've never heard a minister But I've heard such incredible things About this great man of God And he walks in the spirit We're going to hear from the Lord Amen, amen And so I'm thankful for brother Wade Being here with us Numbers 13, verse 28 Nevertheless, the people be strong They dwell in the land And the cities are walled and very great And moreover we saw the children of Annick there The Malachites dwell in the land of the south And the Hittites and the Jebusites

And the Amorites dwell in the mountains And the Canaanites dwell by the sea And by the coast of Jordan And Caleb, still the people before Moses Has said, let us go up at once And possess it, for we are well able to overcome it But the men that went up with him Said, we be not able to go up against the people For they are stronger than we And they brought up an evil report of the land Which they had searched under the children of Israel The land through which we have gone to search it Is a land that eateth up, inhabitants thereof

And all the people that we saw in it Are men of great stature And there we saw the giants, the sons of Annick Which come out of the giants And we were in our own sights as grasshoppers And so we were in their sights And there we saw the giants And the sons of Annick Which come out of the giants I want to preach you for a little bit here

On a very simple thought But I believe an important thought And that is fighting the giants Fighting the giants Praise God Would you pray with me right now? Lord, I ask you to help me, Lord As I, we take these few minutes Of this special men's camp These men have gathered together From all across the state Some from out of state have come And Lord, I pray your blessings Upon them and upon their lives

Upon their families, upon Lord Their employment, upon dear God Their very lives, I pray you'll bless them I ask you to help me, Lord Jesus To minister your word Help us to realize, dear God That you have brought us to the kingdom For such a time as this And Lord, we, there's no one That's a nobody here Everyone is of incredible value, Lord And how you want to use us In these last of the last days, dear God I pray, Lord, help us

Help me to preach your word In Jesus' name, amen God bless you, you can be seated I would do a disservice if I did not Honor incredible men of God From our church in West Bend And I honor the members of the Full Gospel Church I am blessed, amen That they call me pastor And so I'm honored to have men From our church here And God bless you, God bless you God brought Israel out of Egypt

In a miraculous way, ten plagues The last plague was the death angel Passing through the Passover The Lord brought them out, amen Caused the Red Sea to part Israel walked on dry ground While the Egyptian army, amen Was drowned God guided them by a pillar Of fire by night And by a cloudy pillar by day God provided manna for them Every day, about one day God provided water

That came forth from a rock God promised Moses and Israel That they would live in the promised land Incredible story of the nation of Israel God told Moses, excuse me To gather together leaders from every tribe And to send those leaders of the tribes Into the land of Canaan And so Moses sent out twelve spies The land was just as the Lord had promised

Flowing with milk and honey Fruit in abundance, it was an amazing thing Everything was so great except There were giants in the land Ten of the twelve spies said We cannot go in and possess the land Because of the giants Two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb Said, yes we can, we can do it Again, Numbers 1330

Caleb, still the people before Moses Said, let us go up at once and possess it For we are well able to overcome it Ten spies persuaded an entire nation Ten spies, ten men Inspired an entire nation To go back to Egypt Numbers 14-1 records for us And all the congregation lifted up their voice And cried, and the people wept that night And all the children of Israel murmured

Against Moses and against Aaron And the whole congregation said to them Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt Or would God we had died in this wilderness And wherefore hath the Lord brought us Into this land to fall by the sword That our wives and our children should be a prey Were it not better for us to return into Egypt Rather than fight the giants They would rather go back into bondage

Rather than fight the giants They wanted to experience pain and suffering Rather than fight the giants They were willing to give up on the promises of God Rather than fight the giants They wanted to go backwards instead of forward I tell you, men of the state of Wisconsin And men from Illinois, Iowa and other parts God has brought you and I on the scene For right now to fight the giants Now is not the time to live in fear

Now is not the time to try and lay low Just only concerned about our feelings Or our needs or our issues Now is not the time to fall back into bad habits And ways that will cause you to fall into bondage We need to fight the giants We need to fight the giants May we wake up to the realization That something very special is happening Amen, this is not a prophetic message

But I think even the most novice Bible student Would agree with me With the war going on in the Middle East The war going on in Ukraine The anti-Semitic attitude that is rising in the world And even more troubling than the United States of America There is chaos and confusion going on in politics And in our society There is violence and crime That is unprecedented in our world There is a division occurring within our nation And even within our families

There is an anti-church, anti-righteousness Anti-bible, anti-Christ spirit at work Jesus Christ is coming We need to wake up, praise the Lord We can either be fearful about what is taking place Or we can be excited that Jesus has us alive Right now for a reason We need to fight the giants

Point to your brother next to you and say You need to fight the giants Point to the other one on the other side And say you need to fight the giants So how do we do that? It's by how we conduct ourselves When no one is watching The most famous story of someone fighting the giant Is the story of David defeating Goliath

David is referred to as a shepherd boy A shepherd boy who was not even in the army That was fighting against the Philistines Well Goliath was the champion of the Philistines Who stood over nine and a half feet tall David was just a lad Goliath must have towered over David The term David versus Goliath Is a term that is used by religious And non-religious people alike It is an analogy to describe a weaker person A weaker opponent, a weaker team

A weaker business going against a much More powerful opponent It tells of someone who is facing an impossible situation And overwhelming circumstances David defeated Goliath And victory came As Israel defeated the Philistine army David displayed incredible faith in the Lord You know it, but let me read it to you again Then said David to the Philistine Thou comest to me with a sword

And with a spear and with a shield But I come to you in the name of the Lord Of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel Whom thou hast defied This day will the Lord deliver thee into my hand And I will smite thee and take thy head from thee And I will give the carcasses of the hosts Of the Philistines this day Into the fowls of the air and the wild beasts of the earth That all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel And all this assembly shall know That the Lord saveeth not with sword And spear for the battle is the Lord's

And he will give you into our hands Pretty tough talk for a kid Either he was the dumbest person to ever live The most arrogant person to ever live Or he knew something How did David possess such incredible faith

That he believed God that Goliath would be defeated Not just defeated, but defeated by using him How did David have the courage to fight the giant? David had faith in God when no one was looking David had the faith to go out against Goliath And faith to believe the Lord would use him to defeat Goliath

Because David had cultivated faith in God When he was all by himself More than anyone in the Israeli army And this is my opinion It appears to me that David knew David understood and David embraced the covenant The Lord had made with Abraham And his seed by audibly speaking his name Over the nation of Israel Amen We also have a context with Moses

As the Lord spoke his name And recommitted that covenant Or reminded Moses of the covenant That he had made with Abraham By declaring his name audibly spoken Over the seed of Abraham David understood the covenant That God had with his people And that there is power Amen in the name of the Lord So while on the hillside David was watching his father's sheep When a lion came out And took a lamb from the flock

David could have ran for his life And who would have blamed him But David did not run For it was his responsibility To watch his father's sheep So David displayed faith A faith in God that the Lord would help him Save the lamb and defeat the lion David knew that he could not defeat the lion Within his own strength But through the Lord he could do it I remind you David was all alone

And no one was there to see his faith Or his lack of faith Again another predator came And took a lamb from the flock This time it was a bear Again David did not run Even though these were not his sheep Still it was David's job To watch his father's sheep So David watched and protected his father's sheep David showed faith in God When no one was around

This is why David could say to Saul In 1 Samuel 17 David said moreover The Lord that 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 And Saul said unto David Go and the Lord be with thee David's faith When no one was looking Was the breeding ground For David's willingness to fight the giant When everybody was watching

And it was why the giant was defeated The reason David was chosen to be king Over all of Israel Was because of the way He conducted himself When no one was watching Psalm 78 He chose David also his servant And took him from the sheepfolds From following the youths

Great with young He brought him to feed Jacob his people And Israel his inheritance So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart And guided them by the skillfulness of his hand David was kind and tender to the youths As they were giving birth to the lambs The Lord saw how kind Why was David the greatest king In that Israel He was the greatest king in Israel Because the Lord saw how tender and kind

David was on the backside of the desert When it was just David and the sheep The Lord said, that's the man Who I want to lead my people David had a belief That it did matter How he conducted himself Even in dealing with sheep

David had such a belief in the Lord That even when it was all by himself It still mattered How he acted And what he did Never underestimate brethren The way you conduct yourself When no one is around And the effect that it has on you And on others Faith is nurtured And faith grows

In the private times of our lives When nobody is watching The Scripture talks much about And declares of the danger Of what you think And what you say And what you look at When no one is around I'm here to tell you You've got to be careful, every idol word

You've got to be careful what you look at I realize that men struggle more Amen than women do Men with lustful thoughts And pornography is an incredible blight That affects and impacts men Even apostolic men And I understand Scripture teaches us Oh, you better watch out what you're thinking You better watch out what you're saying You better watch out what you're looking at And I understand, amen

But far too often we think That the only reason that is said in Scripture Is because we fear judgment But I don't believe that Oh, yeah, I believe you're going to be judged I'm going to be judged But I believe the challenge Is to make us aware Of the consequences Of what we do When no one is around

Our ability to kill giants Is all centered around What we do When nobody is watching My God, the Lord didn't have you alive To somehow see you defeated The Lord didn't have you alive To somehow see you be a loser The Lord doesn't have you alive To somehow see you not make it

You're alive to kill giants When David went out to fight Goliath What he said were not just words But David had a private life of faith In God to back up what he said

When David said for the battle Is the Lord's, David knew it Because of the private victories That had occurred in his life It did not matter how big the giant may have been The name of the Lord was bigger than Goliath David was not just thrown a stone in the air And blindly hoping that it would hit something David had already seen and recorded What the Lord had done when no one was around And now he believed that the Lord would do the same Even if the whole world were watching

We must have a relationship with Jesus Christ When no one is looking Being able to fight giants as a result Of having a faith in God When nobody is watching On the Sermon on the Mount Jesus teaches the value of not just giving And not just praying and not just fasting But the importance of doing it in our private lives Your faith in God is revealed by what you give Of yourself and your possessions

Matthew 6-4, that thine alms may be in secret And thy father with sea in secret himself Shall they reward thee openly? It matters Hey, if you're not paying your tithes God's going to take care of your preacher If you're not giving all

God's church is still going to go forward But when you give Not saying You know trumpet Now if somebody wants to give a million dollars right now to the camp We will take it and I will applaud Just want to make sure everybody knows that Your faith in God

Is revealed by what you give When nobody's around Your faith in God Is revealed by your prayer life But thou when thou prayest enter into thy closet And when thou has shut thy door Pray to thy father which is in secret And thy father with sea in secret Shall reward thee openly I thank God for the public prayer The corporate prayer that we do here That's fine, that's perfectly in order There's a place for that

But there's more in scripture that talks about Amen when nobody's watching Your prayer life Your faith in God is revealed by your fasting But thou when thou fastest Anoint thy head and wash thy face That thou appear not unto men to fast But unto thy father which is in secret And thy father with sea in secret Shall reward thee openly Each time you give Each time you pray Each time you fast You are coming against giants Because you are showing faith in God

When nobody is looking Defeating giants does not come Amen from how loud you yell On the battlefield On the faith that you have in God When nobody is around Amen Solomon writes these words In the book of Ecclesiastes He that observed the wind Shall not sow and he that regarded The cloud shall not reap As thou knowest not what is in the way Of the spirit nor how the bones do grow In the womb of her that is with child

Even so thou knowest not the works of God Who maketh all in the morning So thy seed in the evening And for thou knowest not whether Shall prosper either this or that Or whether they both shall be alike good Waiting for perfect conditions Will mean inactivity He that observed the wind Shall not sow The slightest wind of adversity You won't sow seed The slightest problem you won't harvest No sowing means no reaping Won't do anything if we wait

Until we feel the perfect time If you wait for the perfect time In place for prayer You'll never pray Amen, if we wait for the perfect time to fast You'll never do it If we wait for the perfect ministry You'll never serve If you wait for the perfect church You'll never join Don't wait for conditions that will never exist We want immediate results Results that we could see But you cannot see the moving Of the Spirit of God all the time

Just like you and I with the naked eye Cannot see a child developing In a mother's womb We cannot always see the way The Lord is working and moving But I promise you The Lord is working The Lord is moving I promise you there's not a moment There's not a second We're told to sow in the morning Sow in the evening No matter what Sow in the sunshine, sow in the rain Sow when you're happy, sow when you're sad

Sow when you're discouraged Sow when you feel up, sow when you feel down Sow when you feel victory Sow when you feel defeated It's our responsibility to sow the seed Of faith in God And God will give the increase When I'm at church or when I'm at home I need to be sowing seeds Of faith in God When I'm at work or with friends At a social event I need to be sowing seeds of faith In God

When I'm all by my shelf and all alone I need to sow seeds of faith In God I am more than a conqueror Through Him that will have power Greater is He that is in me Than He that is in the world Psalmist writes He that dwelleth In the secret place Of the most high shall abide Under the shadow of the Almighty The person who in the secret

Places of his life Is serving the Lord Thinking about the Lord And his conscious about the Lord Shall abide Under the shadow Of the Almighty The person who in the secret place Nobody's watching Nobody's looking Performing All by himself the secret place As faith in God is the Almighty

Will realize the Lord As his constant companion God will extend His shadow Over the person who places Himself under His protection Then we can say The battle Is the Lord's And He will give you In our hands What enabled David To defeat Goliath Was the simple fact

That in David's secret Places David had faith In God When you're all by yourself He got this problem and he got this difficulty This issue at home This Relationship difficulty This financial stress This person

Seemingly attacking you You're all by yourself What are your thoughts? I'm not saying it's wrong To do a job And say Lord how come Why Why did you let me even be born I mean he knows your thoughts I'm not saying We don't express ourselves to the Lord But I believe Job did say though he slain me Yet will I trust him

He knoweth the way That I take I might not know But he knows And Lord You didn't save me To see me defeated You didn't save me To see this problem overwhelm me You saved me to be Not just a conqueror But more than a conqueror

Everyone that is born of God Amen this is the victory Everyone that is born of God Amen this is victory And this is the victory even our faith Oh God I believe God I believe God is going to help me I believe God is going to help my family I believe God is going to help me at work I believe God I don't know how you're going to do it But you're going to work it out for good I believe God

Oh God Again God has brought us On the scene right now to fight the giants Now is not the time To live in fear Now is not the time To try and lay low Just only concerned about Our feelings, our needs Our issues Now is not the time to fall back Into bad habits And ways that will cause you To fall into bondage

We need to fight The giants What are the giants We fight today fear What are the giants We fight today violence, crime Uncertainty concerning our finances Uncertainty concerning our future Uncertainty concerning our family So we fight frustration We fight anxiety We fight unbelief We fight doubt We fight hindrances to the harvest How can we really have revival

How can we really do this Take up to the importance of today There is a war Going on Wars, earthquakes Famines, there's chaos There's confusion Amen, there's divisions occurring In our nation There is anti-church, anti-righteousness Anti-bible Anti-Christ Spirit that is at work That tells me Jesus is coming Amen, we can either be fearful

About what is taking place Or we could be excited That Jesus has us alive right now For a reason We need To fight The giants Oh, let me circle back We are fighting giants When we pray If I shut up heaven That there be no rain Or if I command the locus to devour the land If my people

Which are called by my name If you've been baptized in Jesus' name You are in covenant relationship with the Lord Amen, there's something so powerful And important That you and I must realize Amen, if my people which are called by my name Shall humble themselves And pray and seek my face And turn from their wicked ways Then will I hear from heaven I will forgive their sins I will heal their land We're talking about miracles We're talking about praise the Lord

Revival We're talking about a harvest of souls I challenge you to pray Like you've never prayed before We fight giants By acting like a believer And these signs shall follow them That believe In my name shall they cast their devils In my name they shall speak with new tongues In my name they shall take up serpents In my name they shall drink any death they think It shall not hurt them In my name they shall lay hands on the sect

And they shall recover We need to act like believers We need to declare the promises of God We don't need to be negative and murmuring And complaining Maybe not everything's going right for you But God's on the throne And we will continue to say I believe you God You're going to work this out Oh, let's stand I challenge you to be a believer I challenge every man in this tabernacle

To believe that the Lord Has you alive For a reason Maybe somebody invited you You don't go to church You just saw men's camp We'll get to swim, we'll get to ride horses Ha! Sorry But if somebody's here to give a million dollars But if you're here

I'm talking to you No, the Lord's talking to you You're alive for a reason God's got a plan for you God's got something way better Than you could ever imagine God does not want you to live defeated He wants you to live victorious We need to lift up the name of Jesus In worship We need to lift up the name of Jesus In praise

We need to lift up the name of Jesus In declaration We are covenant people If you've been baptized In Jesus' name You didn't just get wet It was not some just traditional thing That, amen, we do It's in the Bible And why? Amen Because when you are baptized in His name The blood's been applied You are a covenant people We are people of the name I challenge you to proclaim the name of Jesus

Jesus Christ is the only true and living God And beside Him there is none other Neither is there salvation in any other For there is none other name Heaven among men whereby we must be saved David's faith Amen David's faith Inspired All of Israel To win the battle that day

Who would have ever thought Watching cheap When nobody was watching What's a big deal about that Obviously it's a big deal Because that's why He was the only one that went on the battlefield That day To defeat a giant How we need men How we need men To inspire us

With their faith To win the battle Today I have no clue Where you work, what you do Obviously some men from our church I know but I don't know I'm telling you What you do at work Could be the key For the greatest harvest of souls

In your city While I'm just a welder I just work in a factory Just an accountant I just sell stuff I just deliver pizzas I just watch sheep You know Near places of employment

Your churches Your homes, your private lives Your secret places We must have a relationship with Jesus Christ We must be willing To fight The giants My text Says all I'll comment on it Because Israel was persuaded Men not to fight The giants A generation was lost

Because 10 men Pursuaded an entire nation Not to fight Giants A generation was lost Brethren, we don't have 40 years We must fight The giants Today

Is there somebody here And maybe you've been looking at pornography Amen, maybe you've been doing junk You shouldn't be doing Maybe it's just been you've been so negative With your thoughts Amen and your words And your attitude I wonder if there's Is there 10 men here Amen and the close of this Who would come to this altar and say Maybe you need to repent Maybe you don't, amen But you'd repent first

And then are there at least 10 men that would say Amen, I'm going to be faithful To you when nobody's watching Amen, I wonder if there's at least 10 men Who would come to this altar Amen and commit their lives New and afresh to the Lord I wonder if there's 10 giant slayers here I hope there's more than that But I wonder if there's at least 10 men Amen and they come to this altar And they begin to say Lord, amen, amen Amen, oh God

I believe, Lord, I believe I believe, I believe, Lord I believe, dear God I believe you're going to use me Lord, I don't know how But that's not me to decide I'm just believing, oh dear God You've got me alive for a purpose In the midst of this chaotic world You have me alive Amen, you have me alive to defeat the giants Oh, I declare the name of the Lord

In Jesus' name Let there be healing right now In Jesus' name Let there be deliverance right now In the name of the Lord In Jesus' name Oh, in the name of the Lord Pour out your spirit, Father In Jesus' name, let there be restoration In Jesus' name Let there be revival, Lord

Before me Behind me You're always beside me There's no shadow No valley Where you won't find me Before me Behind me You're always beside me No shadow No valley

Where you won't find me I am not afraid No, I am not afraid When I walk through the one I won't be overcome When I go through the rivers I will not be drowned

My God will make away So I am not afraid When I am in the fire I will not fear the flame I'll stand before the giant Jigglering victory My God will make away So I am not afraid Before me

Behind me You're always beside me No shadow No valley Where you won't find me I am not afraid Before me Behind me You're always beside me No shadow No valley Where you won't find me

I am not afraid No, I am not afraid When I walk through the one I won't be overcome When I go through the rivers I will not be drowned My God will make away

So I am not afraid When I am in the fire I will not fear the flame I'll stand before the giant Jigglering victory My God will make away So I am not afraid You're before me Behind me Always beside me

No shadow No valley Where you won't find me I am not afraid You're before me Behind me You're always beside me No shadow No valley Where you won't find me I am not afraid

No, I am not afraid No, I am not afraid No, I am not afraid

When I walk through the waters, I won't be overcome When I go through the rivers, I will not be drowned

My God will make way, so I am not afraid When I am in the fire, I will not be the play I stand before the giant, declaring victory My God will make way, so I am not afraid

Before you're behind, you're always beside me No shadow, no vow, where you won't find me, I am not afraid

You'll be for me, behind me, you're always beside me No shadow, no vow, where you won't find me, I am not afraid

Can we just thank the Lord for that great Word? If you want to show up for the fight, you've got to show up when nobody else is around. When David was hiding in the back of a field, learning how to fight, he was able to show up when the giant showed.

All those men that were trained to fight for the show were hiding in their tents when the showtime came. What an amazing, if they want all the glory, they won't let them have it. You keep fighting your battle. On that day that you're needed, God will step you in the right place at the right time. Thank you Bishop, thank you for that reminder.

And thank you for your response, thank you for being here. Would you just make your way back to your seats and we're going to give a little bit of instruction? I know some things are time sensitive. I could have stayed at the altar and prayed all morning. And if you're so inclined and you have no other obligations, the sanctuary is going to be open today. So if the Lord should lead you to come in and pray for a little bit, I say it's going to be open, I think it will be.

Yep.
