"Under the Shadow of the Almighty: You Are About to Slay a Giant!"

Kathi Pelton, Fredericksburg, Virginia

Under the Shadow of the Almighty

Many of you have been and are even now facing what appears to be "giants" that taunt you and mock you with the words of sure defeat. You feel small in the shadow of the giants that stand before you, much like young David must have looked as he stood before the giant Goliath and his vast army, who were positioned in battle array.

David stood with no armor, no physical strength, no army backing him and no weapon that was useful in battle. He stood in the "fear of the Lord" with merely the small weapon that he was familiar with—a child's toy, at best, to Goliath. Yet, he was not standing only in the shadow of Goliath; he was standing under the shadow of the Almighty, which assured his victory. He had faced lions and bears, therefore he knew what he needed and what he did not.

The circumstances before you may mock you with their size and their strength but as you stand before them, postured in the fear of the Lord, covered by the shadow of the Almighty, and holding whatever "weapon" you are familiar with (it may just be a prayer or a Scripture or just your "mustard seed of faith" as your stone)...you are assured victory. By His strength and His power and in His name you are about to slay a giant! (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

This will cast great fear upon your enemies, who will run like dogs with their tails between their legs. It will also impart the fear of the Lord into those who have been fighting alongside you, as they witness your victory. They will say, "It was not by might, nor by strength, but by the Spirit of the Lord that they defeated the giant that would cause most to run away in fear."

He Chose the Weak Things of the World to Confound the Wise

Just as David was chosen, just as Esther was chosen, and just as Mary was chosen—so you have been chosen. He chooses the weak things of the world to confound the wise, so get ready, because the wise are about to be confounded by what the Lord does through you and through the battles that you are facing.

He is raising up those who are strong in the fear of the Lord, even when they may be known for being weak or merely "common." They may not be from Ivy League schools but they are about to receive wisdom from the Ancient of Days that will cause men to wonder where they received their wisdom and knowledge. They may not be pro-athletes or Olympians, but people will wonder where they trained to move in such strength and skill. And, they may not have a doctorate in theology, but theologians will wonder how the Word is being lived out with such great mystery and accuracy in them.

God Is Promoting His Davids and His Esthers

God is about to promote His Davids and His Esthers into royal positions where they will lead and step into positions that they are seemingly not qualified for. Some of them will even lead nations and people from oppression into possession.

The common man or woman, who walks in the fear of the Lord and the confidence of His Word, will no longer be seen as common, but they will be found in positions of authority and power. They will plunder the enemy's camp and take back the inheritance of people groups and nations, and of their family line. (Photo via Piqsels)

There is about to be a "changing of the guard" in many positions of authority—in businesses, spheres of influence, governments and even in the Body of Christ. It is the posture of surrender and dependence on the Lord that will promote those who seem unqualified to hold these positions.

Strengthen Yourself in the Lord! You Have Everything You Need

Strengthen yourself in the Lord! Go out and face your enemy clothed in God's heavenly armor. Walk in the confidence of His name and His Spirit. You are not on the defense but you are on the offense because the Lord has stationed His vast angelic army in battle array all around you. You may be small in the natural but you are a giant in the spirit. The enemy that has opposed you is about to run in fear because the Spirit of the Lord is upon you.

If fear has caused you to cower and hide, GET UP! Clothe yourself in the fear of the Lord and go out and face your enemy in the confidence of the Lord. You may have nothing in yourself but you have more than enough when you are "in Him"! You are not going backwards, you are not defeated, you are not alone and you are not ill-equipped; You have everything you need if your confidence is in the Lord and not in yourself or your skills!

Victory is yours in Christ Jesus!
