4 Ways to Face Your Giants: Day 2 – Use What You Have How can you face a giant when you don’t have the right tools? "Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.” – 1 Samuel 17:40 (NIV) Often when we face Giants in life we feel unprepared and not equipped with the right tools to conquer the giants. So how can you face a giant when you don't have the right tools? David didn’t wear armor or carry a sword, but he wasn’t empty-handed. He used what he was familiar with – a sling and stones. God can use whatever we have, no matter how simple, to bring victory. For example, you might feel underqualified or unequipped to deal with a major problem, like starting a new job or repairing a broken relationship. But just like David, you can use the gifts and resources you already have. It’s not about having the best tools but allowing God to work through what’s in your hands. What skills or resources do you already have that God can use? Instead of focusing on what you lack, give what you do have to God and trust Him to work through it. Your “small stones” may be what God wants to use to bring a breakthrough. #UnhinderedFaith #FaceYourGiants #UseWhatYouHave #DavidAndGoliath #GodProvides #Overcome

Five Layers of Protection in the Secret Place Discover the powerful, life-changing impact of finding your Secret Place—a sacred space where you privately meet with the Lord. In her article, Susan Bolinger shares how Psalm 91 reveals five divine layers of protection that keep you safe from the enemy when you dwell in the Secret Place. Psalm 91:1-3 describes the first layer: dwelling under the shadow of the Almighty, where you’re hidden from sight. The second layer is found in Psalm 91:4—God covers you with His feathers, just like a mother eagle protects her chicks. Under His wings is the third layer, where you’re safely out of the enemy's reach. God’s truth as your shield forms the fourth layer, defending you against the enemy's fiery darts. Finally, God Himself, the buckler, is the fifth layer, shielding and protecting you completely. When you enter your Secret Place, whether in a closet, a corner of your room, or any other space where you can be alone with the Lord, you’re meeting with God and stepping into a place of grace, favor, and divine protection.

I do not agree with those who believe that God loves only those things that are moral. In fact, He wants every sort of things to happen on the earth. He loves saints and also thieves; He loves war and also peace; He loves wrong and also right; He loves day and also night. Rivals though they are, they help each other stand as their identity; they help each other grow and survive; and what is more, they make the world beautiful, for they are so varied.

The new creation has come Jun 18, 2024 Rick's Alone Time with God: The new has come! The new creation has come that allows you to defy human nature and the god of this world and realize that he who is in you, which is me, is far greater than he who lives in the world, which is the evil one. #newcreation #thenewcreationhascome #greaterthanhe https://lnkd.in/ggByzDDK

In Satya Yuga, good and evil existed in separate realms—gods and demons lived in different worlds. In Treta Yuga, good and evil coexisted in the same world, as seen in the story of Lord Ram and Ravan. By Dwapara Yuga, good and evil were within the same family, exemplified by the Pandavas and Kauravas. And now, in the current age, good and evil coexist within the same person. It's a powerful reminder that our greatest battles are often internal, and the choices we make define the world around us. What are you choosing today?

You Have Everything You Need Psalm 5:12 You are already equipped, empowered, and uniquely designed with the talent, resources, and personality to fulfill your #God-given destiny. Here’s the key: you have exactly what you need. If you will faithfully use what God has given you, He will guide you to where you’re meant to be. What makes the difference in your life isn’t your ability alone—it’s #God’s anointing. You may have average talent, but when #God breathes His favor upon you, you’ll go further than someone with exceptional skills. Trust in His provision, and step forward with confidence in His plan for your life. Psalm 5:12 “Surely, #Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” This verse reminds us that #God’s favor and blessing are defining factors in our success. When we rely on Him and use what He has given us, His favor surrounds us, enabling us to achieve more than we could on our own. Walk in confidence today, knowing that #God’s anointing is working through you. The best outfit you can wear is God’s armor.
