GET GOLIATH BEFORE HE GETS YOU!

I've believed ever since that living on the edge, living in and through your fear, is the summit of life, and that people who refuse to take that dare condemn themselves to a life of living death.

Wake up and smell the coffee

Yes, rising to your place of self-realization and personal fulfillment will be no mere a stroll down the park. Somewhere along the journey you're going to encounter some obstacles and pitfalls that will make you a very anxious, you know that feeling in the pit of your stomach; that take your breath away the first time you think about them and that will cause your head to ache the more you think about them — you're going to come face to face with GOLIATH!

Goliath, I mean that overbearing obstacle or pitfall that stands between you and your goal is not going to let you off the hook that easy… He's going to do anything it takes for him to make you give in to him – he will threaten to suck the life out you; to pock your eyeballs out; to crush you into pieces; to beat the hell out of you; to utterly destroy you!

But I know that you are not shaken by this; you are above the situation…

… you are above  the intimidation that is meant to make you think that you are small and insignificant;

… you are above the unbelieving world that tries to hold you back from exercising faith and taking a stand for what you belief is right;

… you are above the fear that paralyzes you from forging ahead in life;

… you are above the lonesomeness that makes you think there's no one to support your cause;

… you are above all the barriers that stand between you and your dream;

… you are above all the Goliaths in your life!

The Goliaths that are in your life may try to win over you, but, like David, you have the grace of God on your side, and God will empower you to confront and conquer those enormous giants. Like David, you can use the least of your weaponry to defeat them. You do not need heavy artillery for the job; all you need is the power of prayer, the Word of God, and God's grace to defeat whatever obstacle and pitfall you encounter.
