SLAYING GIANTS: BREAKING SPIRITUAL BARRIERS TO DESTINY (2)

Every believer has giants—fear, doubt, insecurity, delay, rejection, spiritual warfare, and demonic resistance. But you were never meant to run from them. You were called to slay them. Like David, you may look small in the natural, but you carry spiritual authority far greater than what you face. This devotional series will awaken the warrior inside you. You will learn how to break through spiritual barriers, confront personal giants, and advance into your God-ordained destiny. This is your time to fight — and win.

Fear is often the first and loudest giant we face. It paralyzes, intimidates, and causes many to shrink back before the battle even begins. Fear exaggerates the size of your enemy and diminishes your view of God. The Israelite army saw Goliath and trembled. But David saw Goliath and saw opportunity. What was the difference? David had a different spirit — not a spirit of fear, but of faith. 2 Timothy 1:7 declares:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Beloved, fear is not from God. It’s a spiritual barrier designed to stop your advance.

David didn’t allow fear to dictate his response because he understood who was backing him: The Lord Almighty. The giant may be bigger than you, but it’s never bigger than God. So. if you’re going to slay giants, you must first conquer fear. Fear is a liar. God is with you. The battle is not yours—it belongs to the Lord. Stay Refreshed!

Fear shrinks your view of God; faith magnifies His greatness.

Identify specific areas where fear has ruled your decisions. Declare those areas surrendered to God’s power today.
