The Champion

Saul whose name means “Asked For” was the first king in Israel he was the PEOPLE’S CHOICE

David was a man after God’s heart and was CHOSEN BY GOD to lead the nation of Israel

Like David was the champion of the army of Israel Jesus is our CHAMPION

This standoff between Goliath and the army of Israel had been going on for 40 days

The anointing power of the Holy Spirit

16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward

We can do nothing with out the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit

When the enemy speaks

The enemy will tell you that you are not even saved

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast

Fear and intimidation are tools of the enemy

Through the eyes of fear Goliath was a giant warrior

Through eyes of faith Goliath was a midget

The Battle Belongs to the Lord

17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook and put them in a shepherd’s bag in a pouch which he had and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine

17:47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear for THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S and He will give you into our hands
