Dealing with Giants

  • Pastor Greg speaks on "Dealing with Giants." We all have giants we have to deal with in life. Maybe it's a giant of fear; maybe it's a giant of addiction; maybe it's a giant of another kind. As you look at this obstacle, this problem, this challenge, you are troubled and you don't think you can ever overcome it. God is bigger than your giant. Pastor Greg uses the story of David and Goliath, from 1 Samuel 17, to bring perspective and application to help you overcome your giant.

    I also reject the idea of alcoholism being a disease. I can’t stand hearing people play off their actions in their disease. By the grace of God I am 2 1/2 years sober, but I take responsibility for my actions. I refuse to pawn it off on me having a “disease” and therefore can’t be blamed.

      That’s why they want everyone to call it a disease, they’re taking away all personal responsibility for all things

    Greg, I have seen the LORD avenge me and it was not pretty..in fact BEYOND...so Deuteronomy 33:29 I believe is in effect now in Jesus name...oh and Exodus 23:20 and rest of chapter ...I simply don't quit..in Jesus name! Thank YOU, LORD!

    So cos I drink and give in to something that overpowers me I'm going to hell? I thought we believed in forgiveness?

      This message says that you and I don't have the power to overcome sin. Jesus died on the cross so that you could be free! Jesus is bigger than your sin!

      Being fallen beings, we are born as sinners. Bc Adam & Eve the first Humans, chose to obey Satan instead of God in the Garden of Eden, they unleashed the forces of evil (hence the tree was called knowledge of GOOD & EVIL). GOD said the fruit of this tree was forbidden or surely they would die. Consequences of Adam & Eve believing the Serpent instead of God were these.... 1) Adam & Eve lost their IMMORTALITY & all future generations of the human race. This was the fall of the human race. 2) Adam was demoted from his position when Satan hijacked dominion over the earth. 3) Satan began establishing his kingdom here on earth where he RULES along with his minions. This is the reality we live in now. Where good & evil coexist & we are ruled by Satan. When the humans increasingly reject God & our SAVIOR LORD JESUS CHRIST, Satan's Kingdom becomes more powerful. The FALLEN ANGELS who are imprisoned will be released from the abyss. All hell will break loose. Jesus comes back & defeats Satan. Satan goes to HELL & all the angels & humans who followed Satan's world rather than seeking God's Kingdom will follow Satan into hell. Hope this makes sense. Btw this is why we NEED a savior. True story

      @Jane Marsee Without Jesus we are doomed to spend eternity in hell. We were born into his kingdom. That's WHY we need to be saved.

      There's forgiveness but you can't just keep drinking sinning over and over again and expect to not suffer consequences you have a lot to learn

    I believe I see a solution here but I have to have someone come for a face to face. This is not a flesh problem (that is the distraction from demonic) but it most certainly is a life/death situation.. I don't believe for me now...it was, but not now. Not only for one person, but at least one other totally innocent if not more and that is why I am holding on here besides many other people at Org and Hospitality House (where I want to incorporate a state of the art Homeless Situation Problem/Solution...it would be so easy with my observation/insight/favor and NEED!!! And at the same time get BGEA /SP in order (I know that sounds high hat but I am not sure ya'll know about the gravity of it all...pride keeps F from exposing it to ya'll but he told me then I have experienced it myself...unbelievably nasty. If I leave status quo will destroy more lives.

    Not somebody from ORG here...it will be far worse than you can even imagine if it is not attended to. My Dream Team would be you. Edward, FG on a good day, Joan Hunter and me...maybe Ethan Flynn former Facilities Mgr HH. but a highly favored person...he knows, even understands and told me to tell them that...it's nasty and why the Lord chose me...I hate scandal it doesn't have to happen ...
