There are battles against us on daily basis and the devil through fear intimidates us with these battles making them appear bigger than they really are. But there is a bigger power in us that makes us mighty in spirit despite our physical sizes and that gives us capacity as spiritual giants to take on anything the enemy throws at us.

David understood the power at work in him and with courage he challenged Goliath for defiling the name of the Lord. He was not intimidated by his size neither did he fret at his boasting but with confidence in the name of the Lord he slew him who had brought so much terror upon the children of Israel.

That mountainous situation before you isn't as dreadful as it appears, you only need to see it through God's eyes and in His eyes it is only a speck. David saw through God's eyes that Goliath wasn't different from the bear and the lion he had killed with his bare hands and was certain God who had delivered him before would yet deliver him again. And deliverance came truly for the children of Israel because one man refused to be intimidated.

Your deliverance is close by if you can dispel every fear, look the situation in the eye and declare like David, "I come against you in the name of the Lord." The battle is the Lord's he knows what strategy would bring about victory, but when you're filled with fear and terror, you can't receive inspiration on what to do instead you begin to guess the solution. David received a divine idea that sounded foolish but it was key to their victory, be encouraged today, be strong and let divine ideas flow through you.

Another key to David's victory was the anointing. David understood that a man does not carry God's anointing and remain ordinary, something supernatural had taken place in his life when that oil came down upon his head and he wasn't going to sleep with it. He had seen the power at work in chasing out evil spirits that tormented Saul, he also saw its manifestation in his encounter with the two wild animals and came to a conclusion that the anointing was for daring the impossible. You have been anointed, you're a carrier of God's presence and it is the anointing in a man's life that makes the difference. Go out and make a difference, people may have called you common, ordinary or worthless but you must realize you're none of those. In you resides all it would take to pull down every Goliath in your life. Go on in this might dare the impossible and burdens shall be lifted and yokes destroyed by reason of the anointing.

David also knew His right and authority in God. He understood that there had been a shift spiritually after he was anointed, therefore whether he was physically in the palace or not, that was inconsequential, what was important was that he had been called and empowered. His authority was not a function of his presence in the palace but a function of what God had spoken through the mouth of his prophet halleluyah! My dear, your blessing and authority today are non-negotiable, its not dependent on who you are today but on what you have done with what was said about you by the mouth of God. And whatever He has said concerning you is settled whether it has manifested physically or not. Arise from that trembling state and begin to live and walk in the reality of the word and not in the reality of your present circumstances.

Refuse to be intimidated, dare the impossible situations in your life this week "for God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind." - 2Tim.1:7

You shall succeed!
