Chapter 1
Who or What Are Giants?
We all have giants in some season of our lives. We have the power to get rid of them through Jesus Christ. These giants invade our lives from different avenues. It may be a person you work with or, a family member, a bully, a financial institution, a hurtful event in your past—or perhaps the giant is within you. You may think you are your own worst enemy. I thought that on many occasions also. Most of the time I was completely right: yes, it was me. I was the one who allowed the giants to manifest and to get the best of me. I had low self-esteem, felt intimidated by others, and was depressed after my mom’s death and my later divorce.
It took some time for me to shake these things loose. It was only the Lord that could break the cycle in my mind and heal my heart. What is it for you? Is it fear, discouragement, depression, anger, pride, racism, greed, intimidation, alcohol, drugs, sex, homosexuality, self-indulgence? Which of these overtakes you and your way of life? I challenge you to examine yourselves. Ask the Lord to open your eyes to what He sees in your heart. It is a good thing to want to get set free from these sins. You shouldn’t be ashamed. Nor should you allow religion, family, or anyone else to make you feel ashamed. Just deal with it. Get it out of your life. Jesus Christ is the answer. He is the way to freedom, peace, and your promised land.
What is your promised land, you ask? I don’t know, but I do know it’s a lot better than where you are now. The Lord never leaves us where He found us. As you grow closer to Him, He is a loving Father who wants the best for you. This life we are living is sometimes tough. It isn’t easy. There is a way however, to redirect your thinking and response to it. The answers lie within the written word of God.
This book takes you on a journey in knowing God and knowing your enemy. Through the Word of God, you will see how and when to fight. It will encourage you to continue fighting in prayer, to speak the spoken word, and to repent. Persist in your pursuit. If you truly are a disciple of Christ, you too are a warrior as He is. His tactics are not as we would imagine—but just imagine winning all the battles and the war.
Giants could be a number of things. List yours and deal with them together with Jesus Christ. You can because you have hope in Him. If you are tired and weary and your hope is lost, don’t be discouraged. He can renew your strength. Surrender to Him and step into a higher calling in Him in overcoming giants.
