little different today hallelujah we're gonna eat on ah we're gonna feast on something just a little different today [Applause] [Music] you see david came into the camp and there was a big old giant in front of him he was mouthy wasn't he wasn't he mouthy have you ever had a giant in your life that was mouthy have you ever stood in front of a situation that would scream at you and just try to intimidate you and tell you who you were [Music] have you come on have you ever had a doctor when you're singing about that doctor's room you know have you ever had uh something to come up and say well now here's what you've got and that situation scream at you and that giant scream in your face or let me just go ahead and push it this way have you ever had a past failure [Music] you know what i'm talking about now some of you are not going to nod at me because some of you got a uh uh uh yeah y'all y'all did good in your past you know what i'm saying some people aren't even gonna look at me i'm just i'm just you know they're like you know what i mean and your past failure get up in your face especially when you get ready to go i want to lift my hands toward heaven but somebody in the building might know oh yeah i remember i was with them all they know about me and that giant screams at you you understand what i'm saying i'm looking at the kids i don't know why i'm looking at the kids they don't they ain't lived enough to have much past but you understand what i'm talking about that that that past that giant screams at you but you know i was reading just a while ago david david he came into the camp that giant screaming and yelling and he and and he is in making fun of god [Music] his god have we ever lived in a world in a day where every television station that you turn on is making fun of the god that you serve are you under ar are you hearing me and the devil is screaming saying oh you can't let them know who you are because if you do you'll be the outcast an intimidating giant [Music] and you might say well that's not the truth let me go ahead and tell you something the army was sitting back the ones that were trained let me just go ahead and call it like this the church was sitting back because we are the army of god right and they were the army but they were sitting back and letting giants scream at them and tell them who they were [Music] you better hear this word god kept me here this morning for some reason last night i only had two hours of sleep to get to a place i really didn't feel like getting up this morning but god said you better get up crab you got something to do i've got some let me tell you why i am here this morning i don't care if i sing a song i don't care what i do but i've got to tell you this word are you tired of the giants [Music] screaming at you [Music] are you tired of it now let me tell you about the nature of david you see there are some people i'm sorry pastor i i i am you i promise i promised i couldn't help it i almost jumped up here in the middle of the worship and did this but i i i actually came and got my microphone but i gotta talk to you about the nature that is getting ready [Music] there is something that is rising up inside of some soldiers at griffin first assembly listen no wait wait wait wait wait don't don't clap yet listen to me you see there is a young shepherd boy that didn't have time to think about [Music] should i go ahead and fight because when he was a protector of the lambs [Music] if a bear came into the camp [Music] the nature of the shepherd he didn't have time to say is it a good idea for me to go try to save that sheep [Music] when the bear came in to grab that little lamb the shepherd david didn't have he didn't sit back and go well what am i going to do who am i going to call who am i going to scream at who can i yell at what am i going to do he didn't have the nature to do that it wasn't in his nature his nature was no matter what the cost i'm the shepherd that's my prize that's my lamb and that's the enemy and the enemy is not allowed to have what i'm supposed to be protecting [Music] the enemy that come in to take away what is my prized possession i don't have time to sit back and go well is it a good idea for me well is it okay for me to do this should i call a meeting should i see if it's on tv if it's if it's popular enough for me to go fight against these people and stand up against the enemy that's worn against me absolutely not his nature was i'm getting ready to whoop that bear his nature what his nature was i'm getting ready to tear that lion apart [Music] that was his nature what are what are you letting me intimidate you [Music] what is it you are called okay when you receive christ and you said i'm ready to put on the whole armor of god and you suited up and you said i'm ready to be a child of god what happened at that very moment right [Music] is now you're in the army of god and you're a soldier men and women soldiers of god and there'll be an enemy that comes at you there'll be one that'll intimidate you and say if you'll do it this way you'll be more popular if you'll look this way you'll do that or you know you understand what i'm saying okay so listen david goes into the camp he's taking some food to his brothers he shows up and he hears the giants making fun mouthing off yelling screaming saying all these kinds of things laughing who's going to come out and fight against me that's what the enemy's saying right yeah look at you now look i got you now one of the largest growing churches you only tell you where it was in afghanistan one of the largest growing fastest growing churches was in afghanistan and the enemy is standing back going oh look now [Music] look coven came in and screamed in your face and some it actually some it hurt you pretty bad didn't it and that sickness looks at you and says look at you now why because because it's pretty big in it what's going on in afghanistan looks pretty big doesn't it and all the crazy junk that's going on in in uh in in our country looks pretty crazy doesn't it until that shepherd rises up down inside of you that maybe saw the giant off far off and then he not only did he see the giant but he saw his family [Music] now some of you now listen to this dick i'm talking about the nature of a shepherd he looked at the giant that was mouthing and he saw four of his brothers and a lot of people don't know that he saw his brothers but he had four big o overgrown great big old-sized brothers why did david pick up five stones because he had four brothers now i'm talking about the nature of a shepherd [Music] i'm talking about the nature of a shepherd that don't have time to settle or to discuss or to think about the enemy or his surprise that the enemy has got a hold of oh you understand what i'm saying you know what i mean and so he picks up the rocks and this is what got me you you got to hear this i've got to read this i'm so sorry [Music] my lord you've got to hear this i'm telling you this is just absolutely amazing let me see 47 this day will lord deliver thee into my hands and i'll this is 17 first samuel 17 46 i hope and pray to the good lord that i've marked this right this day will the lord deliver thee into my hand and i will smite thee and take down head from thee and i will give the carcass to the host of the philistines this day and to the fowls of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth that all the earth may know that the god [Music] that there is a god [Music] that there is a god now it says here in israel but i'm just going to go ahead and put that there is a god in griffin [Music] first assembly now let me keep on reading oak so and all the assemblies show the lord and and it came to pass listen to this oh my goodness this right here i'm blibbling to run a matter of fact y'all might clear me a spot i might take off here in just a minute and take off and do one of those old-fashioned kentucky holy ghosts run around a church i know i know where i'm at but i'm just saying where i grew up and that's the way we did things and i'm so sorry if i have a fit right here i want you to listen to the nature of a shepherd he listen to this and it came to pass when the philistine rose arose and came and drew nigh to meet david so let's think about this so with the philistines the armies their back goliath he he gets up there's a moment there's a point of action he gets up you can hear probably his armor and everything's screeching and he's so big matter of fact his shield is probably bigger than david [Music] and he gets up and he tries to intimidate and almost hear it you know and the army in in the philistines behind him you know you see those movies when they take a step and it's like and you can almost hear the army of israel go you can hear david's brothers i i'm i know i'm being over exaggerating but y'all go to movies too so leave me alone so this is the deal you can almost hear them go because that's what they've been doing the whole time that's what they've been doing the whole time nobody has stepped out on the field really now listen to this and the philistine rose and came and drew nigh to meet david and listen to this some people this is what gets me and that david hastened [Music] and ran oh wait away did he run away they're coming after me no i'm sorry no oh oh i just shut my bible listen listen to this oh drew my new david david hasten and ran toward the army [Music] to meet the philistine [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what i know he beat him and i know he whooped him because i know the story i know he took his head off with his sown sword i know that he whooped him with a pebble i know he had far more to whip his brothers too if they came [Music] but here's here's what i want you to get down in your spirit because there has to be a change there has to be a change in the way that we are approaching things [Music] while everybody is taking a grasp [Music] when the giants stand up take on the nature of the shepherd that says i don't have time to think about this because it's going to be known today that there is a god in israel it's going to be known today that there's a god in griffin first assembly why because what word am i looking for your demeanor your character your spirit your fight is going to be different your fight is going to be different instead of even getting in a stance waiting for it to come i dare you if you even see it [Music] oh no not my house not in my house [Music] are you understanding what i'm saying what is that what are you trying to convince my kids that what what that's my children no no devil no no [Applause] [Music] do you understand what i'm saying some of us sit and wait for the giant to come to us but i dare you to say no i see the giant and god is with me and he is for me he is for me here's what i'm gonna take care of him right now matter of fact he ain't even gonna get close i'm gonna whoop him out in the field don't let him get in your house don't let him cross the line [Music] some of you right now are tiptoeing with giants you're tiptoeing with giants you're messing around with stuff you don't you know i i dare you you if you smell it i smell trouble oh no reach down in your bag pull out you a stone and say no no no no no no no no no [Music] my kids can't afford me messing with stuff like that i'm gonna kill it right there i'm gonna kill it out there [Music] why did i share all this with you it's because there has to be a change in the way look i know we came out of a season that's tough and some of us say we're going back into a season can i tell you something the cross says something different the stripes on christ's back says something different and you might say well there's been great people that die from it i'm still believing that by his stripes we are healed i'll believe it till the day i die i know it i've seen it happen you can't tell me that god has changed because covet came on the scene god is still the same it might look like a different giant but i got a different rock in my back [Music] hallelujah [Music] how do we take care of giants it's all in the attitude it's all in your stance it's all in who you know who you are david didn't say i come to you because i'm skilled david didn't say and david you didn't say david didn't say that i come to you because i'm i i'm going to be able to take this my gift's going to get me through it david doesn't stand up here and lead you in worship because he knows that he's gifted he knows where his gift came from when you know where your strength and where your gift comes from it doesn't matter what giant it doesn't matter what it looks like what it smells like what it calls itself what it is you have to say in your mind i'm taking it out the body of christ has stood back long enough and let all of the secular and worldly demons i'll just call i'm just going to call it what it is i'm just going you know here's the deal it's just it's [Music] i'm i'm done with this i'm done with this here's what i want you to know there has been an all-out war and attack ever since you took your first breath when you took your first breath hell shook and trembled [Music] oh now i'm talking to the kids i want them to know this now i'm going to get back over here when you drew your first breath baby girl when you drew your first breath i want you to know you see what happened in the spirit world i want you to know what happened in heaven i want you to know also what happened in hell hell shook and trembled what me yes you you're not here because i don't care what darwin or anybody else come up with and the big bangs and the little shouts or whatever else came up with i'm sorry you're too complex to tell me that somebody a firecracker went off in a bunch of dirt and all of a sudden you're here you can't tell me that look at you my god look at you you're beautiful you're amazing you're complex you're you're all different none of you look alike [Music] why are you here during this time out of all the moments in life when you could have been alive [Music] out of all of the moments that you could have been alive god hand picked put a pinpoint what's your name baby girl yeah gianna he put a pinpoint right on the very day that you were born and said nobody's gonna be able to do what gianna is called and is fashioned and made to do yeah there's going to be obstacles there's going to be life situations there's going to be things that come up but if gianna grabs a hold of me [Music] if she lets me help her if she lets the holy spirit guide her she can change nations [Music] hell shook and trembled when you were born doctors heard a little whimper and cry what's your name baby haley doctors heard a little whimpering cry maybe when you were born haley i don't know you look pretty quiet i don't know but but you probably let out a cry doctors were used to it you see the earth gets used to it earth especially people being around it they're used to the same noises they're used to the same things but not in the spiritual realm when you let out your first cry haley demons ran and said oh no she's here [Music] oh no she's here and the heavens rejoiced [Music] what's your name baby uh-huh jaylee heaven rejoiced jaylee when you took your first breath they looked over heaven and said look that's another one of god's masterpieces [Music] i know you're sitting down back here trying to help what's your name sir charlie charlie if you could only have seen what heaven did when you took your first breath rejoiced had a time said uh-oh that's the one he's been talking about there he is there's charlie charlie's here look out look out devil come on [Music] and here's what the world is trying to do now this is it i'm done because it's counting me down and i've got one second left matter of fact i'm out now i got 29 seconds to get done with this okay so here's the deal here's here's the thing if we believe in the big bang in evolution in all of this if people start believing this this is what you need to know [Music] if people believe that then they start believing that they are insignificant in life [Music] if you believe that you start believing that your life is worth nothing you're just a blip you go back down into the ground and somebody else comes and takes your spot sorry it's alive from the pits of hell [Music] [Applause] you're so important that god sent his own son to down calvary's cross so that you might have hope beyond our mess [Music] but that's what the enemy wants you don't matter you don't count why do you think abortion has been fought over for so long [Music] i love what you said a while ago you said we fight for life from the womb to the tomb [Applause] [Music] if you've been fighting with i hope this is okay i was supposed to sing hallelujah [Music] right now i sure don't feel like no singer i'm sorry this moment god didn't call me to sing for this moment god called me to yell in the halls of your soul and for you and for your family and for generations to come and to let you know shake that shepherd nets down inside of you we don't need an arrogant soldier we need a humble shepherd that knows who they are that knows whose they are [Music] you see it started with this i said i was going to hush but this is it it started with this because you see david would sit out out in the fields all by himself and play songs while he's tending shaking your wonderful god [Music] your holy love you're my prince of peace you're the keeper of my soul oh when i'm in trouble you'll hide me in the place oh you'll wrap your arms around me god when i'm so lonely now i'm out here all alone you hung these stars into the sky on the nights that he was out there he probably said you're so magnificent you're so wonderful you're so awesome you're so holy god and you understand what happened right then let me tell you what happened you see the enemy satan was created for worship [Music] let me rewind back through time satan was called the beautiful cherub he had every stone bill you talking about a light show i know we got some pretty lights and sound and stuff but i'm going to tell you something he had every instrument built inside of him and he would start playing and he would start putting off a raise for the presence of god he was the worship leader did you know that [Music] and he started seeing his gifts and he started exalting himself and he got prideful and he got haughty and he thought that he was bigger than god and all of a sudden now he's cast out of heaven and now little david's down there playing [Music] and all of a sudden god is looking down at david you see satan can't stand it when he looks at you when you worship the way he used to look at him oh oh somebody just missed that one hold on just a second you've never seen god face to face he had and he forfeited his destiny and purpose and here you are in the middle of trying to get through this hell on earth but something keeps pulling you t keeps pulling you to griffin first assembly and you're in here going what was that song you were saying about uh waiting we're seeing just a little bit of that you've got his mind right there wait on the lord wait on the lord sing it for he will renew your strength so wait i'll say wait on the lord wait on the lord he will renew your strength so wait i'll say wait on the lord [Music] he will renew your strength so wait a second [Music] so as you were singing you got the tension of god because you're singing about him and all of a sudden you've got his focus in his eye and the enemy sin and he can't stand it when god looks down on you the way he used to look at him and he you've never been in his presence but you're singing his praises you have a different worship the shepherd wash up like that and so the enemy wants you to think you're insignificant i mean think about it david had to sit in a shepherd's field when they came to annoy him as king his dad lined up all of his brothers he left him out in the field he said this ain't gonna do it you got any more well i got this one guy out there you understand what i'm talking about i'm talking about all the excuses in your life that pokes their heads up and yells at you like a giant that says well my parents never loved me and well they didn't even take care of me you're here you're here and you're here and you've got breath in your body and what happens in your life is determining how you approach it are you gonna run with an excuse [Music] are you going to charge with the anointing of god are you going to charge and run towards that enemy like you know who your heavenly father really is [Music] i know i can't even believe i did i apologize plea ladies and gentlemen let me just go ahead and tell you something i'm sorry i took up a lot of your time and i went past her you know that i wasn't you know what i did this morning i sang a couple of little old songs and it was pitiful they were real pitiful you understand what i'm saying they were they were they were pitiful but we're not going to let him apologize in the name you are in your i told you you're home you followed god in fact i'd be disappointed if you hadn't i told you
