[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] come on let's give our young people another community [Music] praise the Lord praise the law [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well you see the life of temple of deliverance in the soon coming tomorrow's a man just reach over and touch someone beside you now God our Heavenly Father the father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we want to thank you again for the assembling of your people together and we pray that you would anoint these lips of clay that we might speak words of spirit and life and whatever you do will be grateful and we thank you right now thank you Jesus that none who have come go away empty that Olly and be filled and let us go home another way and we'll thank you in Jesus name a man and a man come on give a lot another hand of free [Music] I want to get immediately into the scripture and I will not be before you're in a great length because we although the program was a bit more full than usual i yet want us to be out by at the same time unless the lord just takes over and holds us longer from the book of 1st samuel chapter 17 and the word that i feel the lord has given for today although we might address the message basically to our youth and young adults it is a message that i believe the lord will use to speak to the heart of all of his people regardless of age category first time you'll chapter 17 we want to read verses 22 through 33 in an alternating fashion i'll read verse 22 and i want you to read verse 23 and we'll all turn 8 from verse 22 through verse 33 and david left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage and ran into the army and came and saluted his brethren and all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from him and were so afraid and David speak to the men that stood by him saying what shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine and taketh away the reproach from Israel for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the Living God and Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men and the lab's anger was Kendall against David and he said why Kamath out down hither and with whom hath left those few sheep in the wilderness I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart for thou are come down that thou might it see the battle and he turned from him toward another and speak after the same manner and the people answered him again after the former manner and David said to Saul let no man's heart fail because of him thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine and Saul said today hates the spilling right with him alright we'll stop right there I will talk to you about facing the giant with courage facing the giant with courage god bless us now I hope that you're not don't city and go to sleep on me certainly I don't have the vehm vegan vitality and energy of these young folk I can't put on the production the rival what they've done but if you wake up I believe the Lord will give your word and I believe that every person in here you are facing at least one giant and the one thing that I hope to encourage your heart today to don't allow yourself to fall into heart failure by looking at the giant but be courageous face the giant with courage and whatever the giant in your life is you too can come out victoriously amen so look at somebody and tell them don't be a coward facial giants with courage come on and give the Lord a hand APRI [Music] now the situation here is that of Israel a new nation now under their first king but they are fighting an old and persistent enemy the Philistines are the Philistines whichever way you might choose to pronounce it but an interesting thing happens as the two armies are facing each other and the battle is set in a ray one Philistine champion decides why we need to go through all this your arm is fighting my armies and whole lot of different men shedding blood and dying on the battlefield why can't we just have one of your champions step out face me as the champion of the Philistines and if your champion win then we'll serve you but if I win you all are going to have to serve us that's pretty much what it says look look back here - I hope you didn't close your Bible look back to the beginning of chapter 17 look at verse 3 it says and the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side and there was a valley between them and there without a champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath whose height was six cubits and a span now this one champion that says you know we don't need through all this bloodshed and just one on one and that'll take care of it he himself was so menacing I mean just to look at him you know it says he was six cubits and a span now a cubit is the amount of about eighteen inches and when you multiply 18 inches six times and then divided by twelve inches which comes out one foot you'll see that he's nine feet but it said he's six cubits and a span now a span was considered the distance between say the little finger and the thumb when you put it down so actually the man was almost 10 C he was closer to 10 feet than he was to nine and if you see a big old 10 foot person saying come on you got somebody would fight me and wasn't hardly anybody there solved himself King Saul was the tallest one and he was somewhat over 6 feet the rest of them was just 5 foot something and below and here's one big guy come on I'll fight whoever you sin and here is a guy that's a giant facing those who are not midgets but they are average size and look at a man almost 10 feet would be terribly menacing I used to think the Goliath was big until I read up on hog and when I looked in Deuteronomy chapter 3 verse 11 I found out that although Goliath was a big giant to the Israelites at this point Goliath wasn't really nothing but a baby giant and you'd look in Deuteronomy 3 and 11 and it tells you that the bed if by sleeping king-size beds now you know it's commonplace but in that time all was sleeping in a bed that was 6 feet wide and something like 13 feet long and it is said that all himself was about 12 feet so if he had stood in front of Goliath and he would have looked down on the top of the lion's head but David as a little boy saw Goliath that's a pretty big giant and the thing that you've got to remember is that the Giants we face when you look at them they're kind of menacing menacing to look at our young people today they're facing giants that we face plus some more see we face the Giants young folk when hide the old folks used to say that about when the SAP would rise you know and young folks start feeling that body and feeling themselves developing and the only thing then was a matter of trying to find an opportunity to sneak you know and get involved with the giant of sexual pleasure but see our young folk now they are looking at it on television and even in the school they're telling them that you know that's one of your classes you know teach sex education and now they're telling you even the alternative lifestyle which God burned up Sodom and Gomorrah burn it to a cinder pile but now they are teaching it's only an alternative lifestyle our young folk have got to face this giant and in school instead of it being a place where the values of the scripture the church and the home are forced at school now is where those old-fashioned values are attacked so when I was a youngster growing up we were taught the way of holiness in the home and although at school they didn't teach holiness but they taught Christ you recognize God you recognize Jesus Christ you recognize authority so the values in the home were fostered by the church by the school but now when you say it's school time they out of your hands you can't do much with them when it's not school time because they spend more time watching television than they spend sitting around the family table some of us can remember that at dinnertime and breakfast time it was family time we were all together but nowadays everybody is on a different shift you know if daddy is at home he's on one shift and mom is on another shift and children is shifting for themselves and so we're looking at a whole different set of giants today and every giant is menacing when you look at him he looks like I don't know how I'm gonna pull through this this giant Goliath not only was he tall but when you look at even his a time it talks about this helmet of brass upon his head and he was armed with a coat of mail and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass and he had Greaves of brass upon his legs and a target of brass between his shoulder and the staff of his spear was like a Weaver's beam and his Spears head weighed 600 shekels of iron and then he had armor bearer walking in front of him he didn't have to carry a shield his armor bearer walked in front of him would a shield and look at this it would automatically cause one heart to fail but the next thing we know David is thrown into conflict with the Giant and he wasn't thrown into the conflict through any act of his own the truth of the matter is when you go back and read it his father said to him verse 17 of chapter 17 Jesse say it under David his son take now for thy brother in and he thought of this parched corn and these ten loaves and run to the camp to thy brethren carry these ten cheese's under the captain of that thousands and look how thy brother and fare and take their pledge in other words bring back the report he only went to take some provisions and he was sent by his father but the next thing he found himself face to face with a challenge from the Giant you don't always go looking for trouble people talk about looking for trouble but sometimes you stumble into it without even looking for it all you know is that one day you look up and that trouble is David went down to the battlefield to check on his brothers but while he was there he heard the roaring of the voice of a giant saying is that not anyone among these Israelites that will challenge me anybody that will come and fight me and then he goes to boasting about taking their caucus and feeding it to the fowls of heaven and the devil is constantly saying that you can't win that I'm the one I'm the ruler of the he that I'm the one I'm the ruler of the hill and you own my territory and whether you want a bow or not you are going to buy and when the Giants of this world get through telling you what they are going to do to you and down in your spirit something look like wants to tremble and you want to feel like oh my god am I going to be able to escape this thing intact David stumble in the battle but he was ready because he went to the battlefield prepared I'm gonna tell you something the worst thing in the world for you young folks to go back to school as a question mark not knowing where you are you got to know you got to have some things and I know education presumes that your mind should be open but there are some things that your mind ought to be closed to there are some things that you need to go into that philosophy and religion class would have made up mine that I don't care what you said this is what I believe you've got to have your heart and your mind fixed on Jesus Christ that I don't care maybe I can target you logically maybe I can't get around all of the different ways by which you pose your particular stand but one thing I know that God is real that Jesus is real in my life and the experience that I've had with God tells me there's no need for me to be afraid of the Giant well David went and said to his brother I'll fight this fella and you'd think that his brother would have said great he didn't have the courage to fight him Eliab didn't have the courage but when David said I'll fight him he saw that you go again I know the naughtiness of your mind you just want to come down here and try to be an exhibitionist and think that you can do so much and they just kind of turn that back on him and King David or other King Saul heard that David had offered to fight him you know he is a big strong King and here's a little shepherd boy but he knew that he didn't have anybody else so he took the position that if I got a little boy here that's crazy enough maybe I better check him out at least interview him David said to King Saul he said I'll fight him oh boy you are only a youth never let anybody tell you that you are only Youth Paul told Timothy let no man despise thy youth don't let anybody tell you that you don't know God you're too young that you don't know what you're talking about you're too young but he's also saying let no man despise your youth don't act in such a way as to make anybody despise you you know you can be a child without being childish you can be young without acting foolish you can be yet in those tender years but you can have a faith in God that is mature steadfast and unmovable so David said well you think that I can't fight this John let me testify and I'll be finished in seven minutes let me testify you little boy gonna fight this giant you can't do it he said I want to give you a little bit of my history I know I'm young now but when I was younger my father just had me tending his sheep that's my job I just took off a few days just to come down here and check on my brothers and gotta get back to the Sheep but but let me tell you one night when I was tending my father's sheep a bag came out of the woods and stuck his big old paws out and grabbed one of my sheep he said but let me tell you what I did said I caught him and with my own hand I killed him and delivered my sheep oh come on David wait a minute I'm not through he said another time aloud he tried to take one of my shoes and you know what I did I caught him by the symbol of his power I caught him by his beard and when I got through tan him on loose from my sheep I killed him with my bad hands and delivered machine and he didn't just see it like a story he'd memorized but he said it like one who had had experience oh I tell you sometimes you can listen the testimonies and some folk you know all they're doing is Flo showing you know this is my time so since I got the flow I'm just going perform and that's why so many times we don't even have just them on the service you you have some folk make you shame you haven't testimony service you don't wanna go that way but this young fella he told his story in such an effective way until Saul said you know boy must be something you got something to tell you what you better take my take my sword and come on and put on my garments take my shield and you going to out there and fighting David tried to pick up the sword and Lydia is dragging the ground and picks up his shield and he can hardly drag it man I don't know nothing about this stuff take it let me have what I have proven give me my slingshot or sometimes you got to use what you have proven you got to use what God has given you don't don't waste your time trying to be somebody else I was listening this morning to my cousin Minister Charles Patterson and I was watching him he wasn't trying to be his daddy his granddaddy or nobody he was just himself to many young folk waste their life trying to be somebody else let others inspire you but be yourself hallelujah don't worry if you're not able to get into the beauty pageant don't let anybody tell you that you are ugly you're not only you you need God made you the way he wanted you to be don't spend your time bleaching your skin until it becomes another color God made you the texture that he wants you God gave you the half that he wants you to have God gave you all of a personality touch somebody and tell them don't try to be somebody else develop yourself and be the best you that you can be have not proven these things give me my slingshot and then he walked down to the brook and picked up five smooth stones say what you want you God can use you when you get the rough edges off God can use you're winning and when it gets through shaving down that Chaplin shaving down all of those other useful attributes that are not pleasing Paul said to Timothy flee youthful lusts oh I know that that's some things that are just natural but when you get Jesus down on the inside and I you may not agree with this but let me tell you the Christian lifestyle is a learned behavior the Lord will save you he will sanctify you but cleansing your ways comes from adhering to the principles of the scripture when you get saved you can still do anything you ever did you can still smoke you can still drink you can God doesn't take away your ability to do it but he takes away your desire to follow the crowd he gives you a design to live like he wants you to live so you learn how to be a child of God hello somebody and when God changes your heart your mind your attitude every time you read in the Bible it doesn't matter what the crown is doing if God said this is what I want you to do then you smooth that edge off hallelujah he picked up five smooth stones put one of them in the slingshot full of him in his bag and then he starts whining hallelujah so you named Elias you're the champion of gasps huh mm-hmm this rock got gas on it I've told you many times though the youngster growing up I couldn't understand it why did he need to put five stones why he neat for in his bag and one in the slingshot why did he need 521 don't use but one but during my study of the Philistines in the book of Judges we came across that how that they had five Lords that reigned in five capital cities they had the city of Ashdod it run Ascalon gat and Gaza and Goliath was the champion from Gath but he knew that the devil fights they did know don't fool yourself taught my plan by the rooms tell somebody the devil fights dirty he didn't know whether or not after defeating the champion of gas that the Lord of Gaza might send his champion the Lord of Ekron and Escalon might send that champion the Lord of Ashdod might send his champion so he had full rocks in his bag saying that after I defeat the champion of gap if one of the others send that champion I got a rock in my bag for them also and I'm here to tell you that it doesn't matter how many textbooks you have to buy don't leave your rock bag you got enough rocks in this bag for anything the devil throw at you and here the lieth is ruling and ranting and raving and shining every time the Sun would hit that glittering still every time the Sun would hit that coat of mail sometimes it would be blinding in the eyes of David but David fates the giant will courage you got to let the devil know I don't know what you're gonna throw at me and I don't care how glaring it comes I've got come for dents in my dog and he said the Goliath you coming to me with a sword and a spear but I'm coming to you in the name of the Lord the God of Israel I just wanna let you know that take the Lord along with you don't matter what else you have take the Lord along with you you can meet every challenge if you take the Lord along with you you can stand against every giant if you take the Lord along with you how many going out of town and how many are just going back to high school how many are going to the elementary grades but whatever you go and take the Lord along with you somebody saying preacher I'm not even going to school I'm going to look for job but you ought to tell three people I don't know where you're going but you be sure to take the Lord along with you you come to me with a sword and a spear but I'm coming to you in the name of the Lord the God of Israel and he wound up the slingshot and God directed the rock to the Giants or head you may not have nothing but a rock but I'm here to tell you God will give that rock radar God will give that rock an automatic homing device and it will find its target [Applause] tell somebody all I have is a rock declare this giant has to die [Music] [Applause] [Applause] sweets are you taught my lorac what good can you do with a rock you need to get into the scripture and get the significance of the rock I hear David saying in the 61st song hear my cry of God from the ends of the earth well I cry on the beat and when my heart is overwhelmed me and when Jesus comes on the scene he says upon this rock I'll build my church and I hear Isaiah in the 3rd or 2nd chapter said the whole the King shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment and a man shall be as an hiding place from the tempest and a covering from the storm he'll be as a great rock in a weary land and when I got a rock it's something mean I got Jesus he the smitten Rock he's the rock of ages' he's the precious cornerstone see the sure foundation giant must die [Applause] you ought to tell somebody I don't have my degree yet but I got a rock [Music] [Applause] [Music] tell somebody I have made my fortune yet gotta rock [Applause] and win the rock smoked Goliath in his forehead he fell down dead and you know what David did David runs over gets up on his chest takes the Giants own sword and cuts off his head takes the end of it in the head and goes through the camp holding up the head of the Giant I got to tell you something I don't care how big your Johnny is facing with courage what whining like somebody that's already been defeated [Applause] [Music] when I was down in the end Wade Cole this past week with Bishop a
