Overcoming your giants
We are at the time of Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets.
When I consider the Feast of Trumpets, I think of the awesomeness of God’s protection over my life. He is the God of Justice, setting all things right. He is the Lord of the battle!
God gave me an acronym for GIANT, God’s Israel Against the Nefarious Tempter.
The enemy wants to tempt us in our faith. He wants us in fear and anxiety. You must guard your heart and mind against all that would crowd your space and bring dread. God’s Word is True and powerful within our members, bringing strength and ability to all that we do. This is grace!
Zerubbabel was the governor of Israel in the time of their captivity. He was worn out by the attacks of the enemy and had stopped the rebuilding of the temple. The prophet Zechariah urged Zerubbabel in the strength of the Name of the Lord to realize that his mountain, was about to become a mole hill, a plain. What had seemed insurmountable before, had now been brought to naught.
That is what happens when the voice of fear, anxiety, panic and dread comes against our members. It’s the invisible giants within. Understand that the giants you face in life aren’t outside of you; they’re inside your heart and mind. The first place to overcome your giants is within your body. All your negative emotions are stored memories at the receptor level, unpacking in times of crisis to the stress response.
You must resist the nefarious tempter, who is satan. Nefarious comes from a Latin word meaning “not the divine law.” Nefarious means wicked and evil. The enemy of your soul wants you to believe that his words are the divine law. That’s how the devil has always been, wanting to be God. You must resist the devil and he will flee.
Realize that you are God’s chosen people. As He caused Israel to come against Goliath, the big fat mouth giant, through the young man David, who would become king, the enemy was defeated.
When you face the giants in your soul, you overcome the giants in every circumstance! Mountains become mole hills!
What giant are you facing today, where there is false evidence appearing real? Know that Greater is Christ Jesus in you, than he that is in the world!
I get into detail about this in my new book, Mindfulness the Mind of Christ!
God Bless!

“For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere [a]molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it!” Zechariah 4:7 AMPC
