As we view our lives and the experiences we have been through, we can see that the hand of the Lord has been on us for our good and for our growth. Satan has used weapons against us to destroy our lives and to keep us out of the game of life, but the very weapons he has used against us are the very weapons that God will use, as we get victory over them, to deliver many caught up in the deception of darkness.
The grace the Father extends to us for our salvation and deliverance, becomes the weapon of choice to be the vessel of God's salvation and the manifestation of His revelation to others. "Be strong in the grace of the Lord Jesus", Paul told Timothy.
Becoming "skilled" in this weapon, in this grace, and letting the Spirit train your fingers for war, is essential for the ministry the Lord has for you. You see, David had to fight only one giant that day. Not the whole army. Only one champion of the enemy was necessary to be defeated. Once that enemy was taken down, the whole host, the whole horde of the Philistines collapsed and were defeated.
What is your giant that you have been "trained" to defeat?
What champion of the enemy sits as a hindrance to your victory, championing the cause of the hosts of the enemy?
What armies could be defeated if you were to defeat the one champion? What hosts could fall, because of your obedience, your training, your equipping?
Be prepared in the fields of seeming insignificant duty and responsibility. Defend the faith at times of obscurity. Face up to enemies that will try and rob your life and duty before God. These times will be the preparation you need for that time when you will be assigned to that giant, to that champion, that will bring the kingdom of God to regions and people.
We need to understand that the Lord is not calling us to 'kill' all the giants. But we are called to defeat the one he has assigned for us. The one no one else wants to tackle, or are not graced to tackle.
So, prepare well. don't be distracted and take down that enemy!
