Jason Robinson – Class 5: The Giant and the Boy

1
00:00:01,900 –> 00:00:05,000
And so with that brothers and
sisters, we are ready to begin

2
00:00:05,000 –> 00:00:08,600
our second class.
Our speaker is brother.

3
00:00:08,600 –> 00:00:12,100
Jason Robinson, the theme for
brother, Robinson’s classes.

4
00:00:12,100 –> 00:00:15,600
This week is the tales of the
Giants.

5
00:00:16,300 –> 00:00:21,100
Today’s class is entitled, the
Giant and the boy Jason.

6
00:00:27,700 –> 00:00:30,000
Thank you very much and good
morning, brothers and sisters.

7
00:00:31,600 –> 00:00:38,000
Friday, we’re almost there.
If anybody does need note cards

8
00:00:38,000 –> 00:00:41,500
today, fingers crossed, we’re
going to be able to make it in

9
00:00:41,500 –> 00:00:44,300
time.
I’ve been having the worst law

10
00:00:44,300 –> 00:00:45,800
getting thrown my size with the
teens.

11
00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:48,900
I do a little better in here but
we’re going to hopefully make it

12
00:00:48,900 –> 00:00:52,000
to note card time today.
So if you guys do need them

13
00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:55,000
they’re here up at the front.
Hopefully, we all still have

14
00:00:55,100 –> 00:00:58,300
Have them though, from when they
were passed out on Monday, we’re

15
00:00:58,300 –> 00:01:02,200
going to be using one side today
again, God willing, if we make

16
00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:09,000
it to that section of the day,
so let’s review where we’ve come

17
00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:12,200
so far on Monday.
We really spent some time,

18
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,400
getting to know our Giants.
We then worked on removing any

19
00:01:15,400 –> 00:01:17,000
doubt that you could beat your
Giants.

20
00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:19,600
And hopefully, convince
ourselves that we would like, to

21
00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:22,400
yesterday.
We spent the day with Caleb, and

22
00:01:22,400 –> 00:01:26,600
we really explored where our
Giants home Land was we looked

23
00:01:26,600 –> 00:01:32,400
at how Giants tend to come back,
even though Joshua slew all of

24
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:35,600
the Giants in Hebron Caleb.
Had to come back.

25
00:01:35,600 –> 00:01:37,500
Few chapters later and do the
same thing again.

26
00:01:37,500 –> 00:01:41,900
And so we had the homework
yesterday of how can you make

27
00:01:41,900 –> 00:01:45,900
sure this location stays giant
free for your family and

28
00:01:45,900 –> 00:01:48,700
brothers and sisters because we
do not want these Giants.

29
00:01:48,700 –> 00:01:51,000
Rearing their ugly heads again
in our lives.

30
00:01:51,000 –> 00:01:53,900
And then today, we’re going to
be taking a look at a little bit

31
00:01:53,900 –> 00:01:55,300
more.
Ali.

32
00:01:55,400 –> 00:01:59,400
So we are basically done,
getting to know our Giants and

33
00:01:59,500 –> 00:02:02,800
the where’s and the wise and the
house and today is going to be a

34
00:02:02,808 –> 00:02:08,600
little bit more focused on your
role in the giant fight.

35
00:02:09,000 –> 00:02:10,699
Today we’re going to be talking
about the attacking and

36
00:02:10,699 –> 00:02:14,500
defending when fighting your
giant we’re look at weapons.

37
00:02:14,500 –> 00:02:16,900
We’re looking armor.
Will take a look at the weapons,

38
00:02:16,900 –> 00:02:20,200
your Giants use and we’ll take a
look at what weapons Giants

39
00:02:20,200 –> 00:02:22,400
layers.
Use will take a look, what armor

40
00:02:22,400 –> 00:02:25,000
your giant uses.
And what armor?

41
00:02:25,100 –> 00:02:31,700
It’s layers use today, we really
form our battle plan, start to

42
00:02:31,700 –> 00:02:35,000
focus on the role to play that
we play with our Giants.

43
00:02:35,400 –> 00:02:38,700
We’re pretty much done learning
about them and we’re going to

44
00:02:38,700 –> 00:02:42,100
learn and see where we fit in.
Well last time we ended and we

45
00:02:42,100 –> 00:02:47,100
spoke about how Joshua cleansed
some areas of giants.

46
00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:51,100
It says in Joshua 11 verse 22.
There were none of the anakim

47
00:02:51,100 –> 00:02:54,400
left in the land of the children
of Israel.

48
00:02:55,500 –> 00:03:02,500
Only in Gaza in gas and in
ashdod there remained.

49
00:03:02,500 –> 00:03:07,600
So there’s three cities in
particular in which Joshua could

50
00:03:07,600 –> 00:03:14,900
not drive out the Giants in
ashdod in Gaza and interestingly

51
00:03:14,900 –> 00:03:20,700
enough in gath these are where
the anakim remained.

52
00:03:20,800 –> 00:03:25,400
Now, we know that this land
becomes philistia And when the

53
00:03:25,400 –> 00:03:29,200
Philistines capture this
territory, they apparently

54
00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:32,100
allowed the Giants to live among
them.

55
00:03:33,300 –> 00:03:37,800
So when we come to First Samuel
chapter 17, this is our

56
00:03:37,800 –> 00:03:41,200
backdrop.
The Philistines are clearly

57
00:03:41,900 –> 00:03:46,800
using their newly integrated
Giants to intimidate the

58
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:50,300
children of Israel.
After all.

59
00:03:51,600 –> 00:03:56,400
It worked so well before.
And we’re going to see many

60
00:03:56,400 –> 00:03:59,800
similarities between the Battle
of David and Goliath and the

61
00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:02,100
children of Israel, the edge of
the promised land.

62
00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:09,000
But these people in philistia
Like the rest of the world.

63
00:04:10,500 –> 00:04:14,800
New about not only the victories
that Mighty Israelite Nation had

64
00:04:14,800 –> 00:04:18,500
accomplished.
But unfortunately, they also

65
00:04:18,500 –> 00:04:25,200
knew of some of their weaknesses
and the Philistines would send

66
00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:29,900
out a giant.
Because if there’s anything

67
00:04:29,900 –> 00:04:33,300
Israel is scared of, it was
Giants.

68
00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:37,400
So, let’s take them to look at
this one.

69
00:04:37,400 –> 00:04:42,400
Little city called gas.
Gas is an interesting place

70
00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:47,100
before we dive in, to really get
to know more about David and

71
00:04:47,100 –> 00:04:51,300
Goliath.
It’s crucial that we lay some

72
00:04:51,300 –> 00:04:55,800
quick rules.
First of all, the story of David

73
00:04:55,800 –> 00:04:59,700
and Goliath might just be the
most well-known story in all of

74
00:04:59,700 –> 00:05:04,200
scripture to those outside,
maybe even more known than a

75
00:05:04,207 –> 00:05:08,300
whale who ate Jonah, maybe even
more well-known than all the

76
00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:11,400
animals, who gather together on
an arc during a worldwide flood.

77
00:05:12,300 –> 00:05:16,900
Maybe even more well-known or
better known than the perfect

78
00:05:16,900 –> 00:05:22,500
man who died for the world.
Because it’s come to stand for

79
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:24,000
the little guy against the big
guy.

80
00:05:25,000 –> 00:05:28,400
The True Underdog Story, which
we love so much.

81
00:05:28,700 –> 00:05:31,800
The big and bad and ugly Goliath
being taken down by the

82
00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:33,700
shepherd, kid, with just a
sling.

83
00:05:35,800 –> 00:05:38,100
But pictured, David sitting in
the front row right here.

84
00:05:40,200 –> 00:05:41,800
Is that how he would see the
story?

85
00:05:45,100 –> 00:05:49,300
He tells Goliath and Saul and
others, it wasn’t him fighting.

86
00:05:50,600 –> 00:05:55,200
Wasn’t himself fighting Goliath.
That was the solstice point of

87
00:05:55,200 –> 00:05:57,000
Deuteronomy.
That was the whole point of

88
00:05:57,000 –> 00:06:00,900
Caleb.
It wasn’t these people fighting

89
00:06:00,900 –> 00:06:03,000
the Giants.
It was our heavenly father.

90
00:06:03,300 –> 00:06:05,600
So instead of this being an
Underdog Story, the little guy

91
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:08,100
beating the big guy.
I’m really sorry to say, it’s

92
00:06:08,100 –> 00:06:11,200
actually just another story
about God, beating Giants.

93
00:06:14,700 –> 00:06:17,500
If we’ve learned anything so
far, it’s certainly that we

94
00:06:17,500 –> 00:06:20,700
can’t fight these Giants on her
own, and neither did David.

95
00:06:21,800 –> 00:06:26,100
This is a battle against about a
little guy against the big guy.

96
00:06:27,500 –> 00:06:31,400
But the little guy isn’t David.
The little guys Goliath.

97
00:06:32,500 –> 00:06:36,700
Against our heavenly father.
And in order to fight your

98
00:06:36,700 –> 00:06:40,000
Giants, you’re going to need the
help of your heavenly father.

99
00:06:41,500 –> 00:06:47,800
now, this giant was from gas and
gas being neighbors with Israel,

100
00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:52,200
it seems Had some influence from
Israel.

101
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:57,300
We’re told in first Samuel
chapter 6 and at verse 16 when

102
00:06:57,300 –> 00:07:00,300
the five Lords of the
Philistines had seen it they

103
00:07:00,300 –> 00:07:02,200
returned to occur on the same
day.

104
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:05,500
This is of course when the ark
was captured and it wreaks havoc

105
00:07:05,500 –> 00:07:08,400
in the land of the Philistines
verse 17 in each of the golden

106
00:07:08,400 –> 00:07:11,700
em rods, which the Philistines
returned for a trespass,

107
00:07:11,700 –> 00:07:15,600
offering unto Yahweh for ashdod
one.

108
00:07:16,700 –> 00:07:23,200
For Gaza, 14, Ashkelon 14, gas,
one and four equilon one.

109
00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:28,400
So they knew at least some of
the worship practices of the

110
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:32,200
Israelite, God of Yahweh.
We also know from the next

111
00:07:32,200 –> 00:07:35,600
chapter in verse 14, across the
page that the cities from,

112
00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:37,200
which, the Philistines had taken
from Israel.

113
00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:41,300
Were restored to Israel from
ekron, even to gas.

114
00:07:41,500 –> 00:07:44,400
So gas had actually been back
and forth between the

115
00:07:44,407 –> 00:07:48,400
Philistines and the Israelites
for many, many years now.

116
00:07:48,400 –> 00:07:51,300
Apparently, when you come to
First Sigma Seventeen, it

117
00:07:51,300 –> 00:07:53,300
appears that maybe they had lost
it again.

118
00:07:55,300 –> 00:07:57,600
Anyway, few chapters later in
first Samuel 21.

119
00:07:57,900 –> 00:08:00,800
This is actually the place where
David fleas.

120
00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:05,500
When he flees from Saul.
And so it’s quite curious that

121
00:08:05,500 –> 00:08:09,800
the city of gath seems to be
close enough to understand a

122
00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:12,600
little bit about the God of
Israel.

123
00:08:14,500 –> 00:08:17,400
I mean, after all, the children
of Israel knew a lot about the

124
00:08:17,400 –> 00:08:20,900
gods, the Philistines their
worship practices.

125
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:25,100
And so it seems likely that
maybe the Philistines had the

126
00:08:25,108 –> 00:08:28,000
same.
And so it’s with this history of

127
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:33,799
gath that they send out a giant,
and let’s take a look at verse 4

128
00:08:33,799 –> 00:08:38,600
of 1st, Samuel, 17, and let’s
get to know the armor of Goliath

129
00:08:38,600 –> 00:08:42,200
of gath.
First, Samuel 17 verse 4, says

130
00:08:42,200 –> 00:08:44,100
there.
One out a champion out of the

131
00:08:44,100 –> 00:08:48,300
camp of the Philistines.
Named Goliath of gath, whose

132
00:08:48,300 –> 00:08:53,600
height was six cubits, and a
span Over 9 feet tall.

133
00:08:54,700 –> 00:08:57,700
Need a helmet of brass upon his
head and he was armed with a

134
00:08:57,708 –> 00:09:01,800
coat of mail and the weight of
the coat was 5000 shekels of

135
00:09:01,800 –> 00:09:04,100
brass.
And he had Greaves of brass upon

136
00:09:04,100 –> 00:09:06,900
his legs, and a target of grass
between his shoulders.

137
00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:10,700
And the staff of his spear was
like a Weaver’s beam and his

138
00:09:10,700 –> 00:09:14,100
Spears head weighed 600 shekels
of iron, and one bearing a

139
00:09:14,100 –> 00:09:17,000
shield went before him.
So look at the qualifications of

140
00:09:17,008 –> 00:09:21,700
the armor of the Goliath of gath
this Champion that they send

141
00:09:21,700 –> 00:09:26,200
out.
Was armored armored and had

142
00:09:26,200 –> 00:09:28,700
weapons.
The hill.

143
00:09:30,600 –> 00:09:33,300
Do you feel like our giant has
this much armor?

144
00:09:36,600 –> 00:09:41,700
Sometimes we I definitely feel
like my giant has this much

145
00:09:41,700 –> 00:09:46,200
armor.
Let’s use the example of a giant

146
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:52,800
being some sort of addiction,
whether it’s alcohol, related,

147
00:09:52,800 –> 00:09:56,000
drug related, let’s use this as
our giant for this morning’s

148
00:09:56,000 –> 00:10:02,300
example.
Armor does a substance addiction

149
00:10:02,300 –> 00:10:06,800
have?
Well, it’s anything that appears

150
00:10:06,800 –> 00:10:10,700
to my eyes is going to protect
that giant from me.

151
00:10:10,700 –> 00:10:14,200
Just beating it easily.
That’s the armor that this giant

152
00:10:14,300 –> 00:10:16,500
can put on.
It could be anything from

153
00:10:16,500 –> 00:10:19,500
triggers.
There’s places their sites.

154
00:10:19,500 –> 00:10:24,200
There’s people that just make it
feel like I need to satisfy the

155
00:10:24,200 –> 00:10:26,700
addiction, possibly peer
pressure.

156
00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:31,400
Maybe I’ve been headed this
giant then, all of a sudden, I

157
00:10:31,400 –> 00:10:33,600
find myself hanging out with
that crowd again.

158
00:10:34,500 –> 00:10:38,000
And somehow the giant puts his
head back on and I’m dealing

159
00:10:38,000 –> 00:10:41,500
with it again.
Maybe it’s the way that kind of

160
00:10:41,500 –> 00:10:45,900
rewires our body.
Maybe it’s stress or anxiety,

161
00:10:46,600 –> 00:10:48,400
right?
All of these things that the

162
00:10:48,600 –> 00:10:51,000
Giants can put on as their
armor.

163
00:10:52,300 –> 00:10:54,900
That can make us.
Look at them and say I am never

164
00:10:54,900 –> 00:10:57,700
happy that.
That armor.

165
00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:02,800
Are you kidding?
That coat of mail is 5000

166
00:11:02,800 –> 00:11:07,500
shekels of brass.
I can’t penetrate that And so if

167
00:11:07,508 –> 00:11:10,000
we look at our quick guide, the
first kind of bullet for today

168
00:11:10,000 –> 00:11:12,800
is, what does your giant use for
armor?

169
00:11:12,800 –> 00:11:17,300
When you go to battle against it
and you can spend a few minutes,

170
00:11:17,300 –> 00:11:19,300
kind of contemplating.
This is an interesting and

171
00:11:19,308 –> 00:11:22,700
tricky question, but are Giants
have armor.

172
00:11:24,500 –> 00:11:28,300
They’re not standing there
waiting for us, just to pick up

173
00:11:28,308 –> 00:11:32,000
a stone and sling.
It at them to take a sword and

174
00:11:32,000 –> 00:11:35,400
lob their head off.
They might even have armor

175
00:11:35,400 –> 00:11:38,500
bearers, holding shields in
front of them.

176
00:11:39,400 –> 00:11:41,300
There might be a lot.
You have to break down before

177
00:11:41,300 –> 00:11:47,000
you can get to your giant.
But in first, Samuel 17 as we

178
00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:50,600
continue the story, there are a
few people who are just too

179
00:11:50,600 –> 00:11:53,800
scared of a giant.
Too much armor too big of

180
00:11:53,800 –> 00:11:55,500
weapons.
Whatever it was they found

181
00:11:55,500 –> 00:11:58,300
themselves quite content in
their tent.

182
00:11:59,800 –> 00:12:03,200
Look at verse 12, now, David was
the son of that F of sites of

183
00:12:03,200 –> 00:12:05,200
Bethlehem Judah whose name was
Jesse.

184
00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:10,900
And he had eight sons and the
man went among men for an old

185
00:12:10,900 –> 00:12:14,000
man in the days of Saul and the
three eldest sons of Jesse went

186
00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:17,300
and followed salt to battle, and
the names of his three sons

187
00:12:17,300 –> 00:12:20,600
that, which to the battle were
Ally of the firstborn next, unto

188
00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:22,800
him a bit of dab and the third
shama.

189
00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:26,700
So we have these three boys.
And David was the youngest, and

190
00:12:26,700 –> 00:12:29,600
the three eldest, why they
followed Saul?

191
00:12:29,600 –> 00:12:33,800
It says they followed their King
into battle like a good soldier

192
00:12:33,800 –> 00:12:39,600
would but these three brothers
interestingly enough, they would

193
00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:45,200
have seen and heard everything
that Goliath was saying, we

194
00:12:45,208 –> 00:12:49,100
didn’t do anything about it for
40 days or told.

195
00:12:50,900 –> 00:12:54,800
It’s awfully easy for us
brothers and sisters to think of

196
00:12:54,800 –> 00:12:58,300
ourselves as David’s in the
story, isn’t it?

197
00:12:59,500 –> 00:13:05,000
Bravely approaching our giant
God’s power in our hands and

198
00:13:05,000 –> 00:13:09,400
charging towards him.
What actually happens with

199
00:13:09,400 –> 00:13:11,900
option way.
More often for me personally, is

200
00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:17,400
that I might actually be alive.
I tense just fine.

201
00:13:18,600 –> 00:13:21,100
The Giants are out there but
they’re not bothering me really

202
00:13:21,100 –> 00:13:24,200
at this moment.
I know they’re a threat to

203
00:13:24,500 –> 00:13:30,300
spirituals spirituality but I
just don’t feel like engaging

204
00:13:30,300 –> 00:13:32,600
with them.
I’m aware that they’re I’m

205
00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:36,600
living in peace, but I don’t
need to engage in the fight and

206
00:13:36,600 –> 00:13:41,000
this was the message of the
three older brothers of David.

207
00:13:42,600 –> 00:13:45,300
So just be careful as we come
into these stories that we don’t

208
00:13:45,300 –> 00:13:48,900
immediately assume that we’re
like David’s, because there’s

209
00:13:48,900 –> 00:13:53,300
many characters, the story who
refused to fight the Giant.

210
00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:58,200
It says in Hebrews chapter 6 a
couple cool versus for us just

211
00:13:58,200 –> 00:14:02,200
to remember on our path since
and we desire that every one of

212
00:14:02,200 –> 00:14:06,000
you do show the same diligence
to the full Assurance of Hope

213
00:14:06,000 –> 00:14:09,600
unto the end that ye be not
slothful, but followers of them

214
00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:13,900
that who through faith and
patience inherit the promises.

215
00:14:14,200 –> 00:14:18,300
And so to inherit the promises
to have the full Assurance of

216
00:14:18,300 –> 00:14:21,100
hope it does require us to be
diligent in the truth.

217
00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:24,000
And it requires us to not be
slothful.

218
00:14:24,400 –> 00:14:29,900
This is what is being told of us
in Hebrews, unlike These three

219
00:14:29,900 –> 00:14:35,500
older Sons of Jesse.
But we know the story.

220
00:14:35,500 –> 00:14:38,600
Don’t we brothers and sisters?
There’s one more individual.

221
00:14:40,100 –> 00:14:43,400
Who if you were standing on the
battlefield, you would have

222
00:14:43,400 –> 00:14:47,200
thought would have stood up the
first day to fight.

223
00:14:47,800 –> 00:14:51,400
I mean, after all, it’s why you
thought he was chosen to be king

224
00:14:52,800 –> 00:14:56,100
It says, in 1st Samuel 9 verse 2
and he had a son whose name was

225
00:14:56,100 –> 00:14:58,200
Saul.
A choice young man and a goodly

226
00:14:58,300 –> 00:14:59,700
and there was not among the
children of Israel.

227
00:14:59,700 –> 00:15:03,500
A good leader person than he
from his shoulders upward.

228
00:15:03,500 –> 00:15:06,700
He was higher than any of the
people and you would look around

229
00:15:06,700 –> 00:15:09,300
and you would say well who
should fight this really tall

230
00:15:09,300 –> 00:15:15,500
enemy, what about are really
tall, King What about it for

231
00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:19,600
like Saul Brothers and Sisters?
See, I think the nation of

232
00:15:19,800 –> 00:15:22,600
Israel learned a great deal of
salt during these 40 days.

233
00:15:24,200 –> 00:15:26,800
King Saul is just like that man
who talks all about the Giants,

234
00:15:26,800 –> 00:15:28,400
he fights.
He’s got the armor to do it.

235
00:15:30,400 –> 00:15:33,500
He fits the description of the
perfect giant fighter.

236
00:15:35,100 –> 00:15:37,500
But in actions, maybe you
noticed that he seems to

237
00:15:37,500 –> 00:15:39,400
actually cower away from a
fight.

238
00:15:40,900 –> 00:15:44,600
You know brothers sisters, maybe
our giant actually might be

239
00:15:44,600 –> 00:15:48,500
dealing with people like Saul
Hypocrites in our Ecclesia.

240
00:15:48,500 –> 00:15:53,300
It seems sometimes.
It was certainly an another

241
00:15:53,300 –> 00:15:57,500
giant, for David.
Who had many opportunities to

242
00:15:57,500 –> 00:16:01,100
remove Saul?
But refused on more than one

243
00:16:01,100 –> 00:16:04,400
occasion to not kill the Lord’s
anointed.

244
00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:09,200
And so here’s King Saul who
everyone would have expected to

245
00:16:09,200 –> 00:16:11,900
fight.
We’re told in first Samuel

246
00:16:11,900 –> 00:16:17,100
chapter 17, verse 38 39 that he
had armor, and not only that,

247
00:16:17,100 –> 00:16:20,600
but he had almost the same.
Exact armor get a helmet of

248
00:16:20,600 –> 00:16:26,200
bronze coat of mail on a sword.
And as he puts these on, David

249
00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:28,400
David is starting to look
himself a little bit like

250
00:16:28,400 –> 00:16:30,900
Goliath.
And David thinks I can’t go to

251
00:16:30,900 –> 00:16:33,000
battle looking like the good
giant himself.

252
00:16:34,600 –> 00:16:38,000
We got King Saul would often
fall upon his own armor.

253
00:16:39,600 –> 00:16:45,600
To support him in his fight.
And finally 1st Samuel, 8 verses

254
00:16:45,600 –> 00:16:48,800
19, and 20 says nevertheless,
the people refuse to obey the

255
00:16:48,800 –> 00:16:50,700
voice of Samuel who said you
shouldn’t choose a king.

256
00:16:50,700 –> 00:16:54,000
You already have a king.
His name is Yahweh and said nay

257
00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:58,800
but we will have a king over us.
That we may be also like all the

258
00:16:58,800 –> 00:17:07,200
nations. and that our King May
judge us and go out before us

259
00:17:07,800 –> 00:17:11,500
and fight our battles.
And so you can see the rest of

260
00:17:11,508 –> 00:17:14,000
the nation here.
It says that the three eldest

261
00:17:14,000 –> 00:17:17,800
followed Saul Well, it seems
like all the warriors were

262
00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:22,200
following Saul.
Not fighting the Giant.

263
00:17:24,099 –> 00:17:25,900
Kings Were Meant to lead their
people to battle.

264
00:17:28,200 –> 00:17:31,300
That’s why David was the one who
fought the Giant.

265
00:17:33,300 –> 00:17:39,200
He was this true king of Israel.
Before we do that, we have

266
00:17:39,200 –> 00:17:43,500
another interesting question.
And see there’s two types of

267
00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:46,400
armor.
There’s the armor of the Giant,

268
00:17:47,000 –> 00:17:52,900
and there’s the armor of Saul.
What is the armor of Saul look

269
00:17:52,900 –> 00:17:55,700
like, do we ever put on that
armor?

270
00:17:56,900 –> 00:18:01,400
You see Saul put his armor on
David thinking, that’s how God

271
00:18:01,400 –> 00:18:04,200
is going to help you wearing my
own armor.

272
00:18:06,400 –> 00:18:08,300
What does Saul’s armor look like
for us?

273
00:18:08,800 –> 00:18:11,600
He had a helmet of brass, he had
the coat of mail and he had a

274
00:18:11,608 –> 00:18:17,400
sword. see, he looked In all
intents and purposes, like he

275
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:18,600
should’ve been fighting the
Giant.

276
00:18:19,600 –> 00:18:22,200
And he puts it on David.
Finally, a brave soldier in my

277
00:18:22,200 –> 00:18:25,000
ranks was going to go fight him,
you’re going to need this.

278
00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:29,800
But the problem brothers,
sisters with Saul’s armor, Is

279
00:18:29,800 –> 00:18:34,500
its usefulness.
Relies on the giant attacking

280
00:18:34,500 –> 00:18:38,800
you.
Not you attacking the Giant.

281
00:18:42,100 –> 00:18:44,300
And this is house, all probably
fight all his battles.

282
00:18:46,400 –> 00:18:49,500
Waiting for the Giants to get
close to him instead of him

283
00:18:49,500 –> 00:18:53,600
running towards the Army and
charging towards them Saul

284
00:18:53,600 –> 00:18:57,600
assumed on all points.
That there would be a struggle.

285
00:18:58,900 –> 00:19:03,100
I’m going to need this armor.
And David knew that there

286
00:19:03,100 –> 00:19:07,700
wouldn’t be a struggle.
So what does Saul’s armor look

287
00:19:07,700 –> 00:19:12,300
like for us?
What kind of armor is Saul

288
00:19:12,300 –> 00:19:14,600
offer?
You a tricks you into thinking?

289
00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:17,100
It’s all going to need to fight
your giant.

290
00:19:18,800 –> 00:19:22,000
Let’s break it down.
We need to fight a giant, we can

291
00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:23,700
check that box.
We all know we need to fight a

292
00:19:23,708 –> 00:19:27,800
giant but we don’t really want
to, I can check that box.

293
00:19:29,200 –> 00:19:33,000
I rely on something fairly
worthless to fight and defend

294
00:19:33,000 –> 00:19:35,200
for my giant.
That’s what Saul’s armor looks

295
00:19:35,200 –> 00:19:38,200
like now.
Something worthless is quite

296
00:19:38,200 –> 00:19:40,300
subjective, isn’t it?
It can mean a lot of different

297
00:19:40,300 –> 00:19:42,600
things, what works for you and
fighting your Giants?

298
00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:45,900
You could come and say, Jason, I
tried this really worked and I

299
00:19:45,900 –> 00:19:48,600
could try it and I can come back
and say I didn’t work for me.

300
00:19:50,200 –> 00:19:52,900
I was probably doing something
wrong but it just wasn’t working

301
00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:56,400
and it can be very subjective.
What we find out Works, what’s

302
00:19:56,600 –> 00:20:00,200
armor?
We end up using But you keep

303
00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:02,600
this armor and your tent for
when you’re going to need it.

304
00:20:03,500 –> 00:20:07,600
So let’s consider.
Now, again another Giant for the

305
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:10,700
sake of an example of Saul’s
armor, let’s consider the giant

306
00:20:10,700 –> 00:20:12,200
of inappropriate shows or
movies.

307
00:20:13,100 –> 00:20:16,000
Let’s assume that this is the
giant that we want to slay at

308
00:20:16,000 –> 00:20:19,500
this point in time.
What would Saul’s armor be?

309
00:20:21,300 –> 00:20:22,900
For inappropriate shows or
movies.

310
00:20:23,300 –> 00:20:26,200
Saul’s armor would be something
like hiding the remote.

311
00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:29,600
Can’t find the remote.
Can’t work the TV problem

312
00:20:29,600 –> 00:20:33,200
solved.
Maybe setting limits on your

313
00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:36,100
content restrictions.
That could be Saul’s armor,

314
00:20:36,100 –> 00:20:38,700
right?
You know what it’s not really

315
00:20:38,700 –> 00:20:42,400
there.
But I guess if I needed to, I

316
00:20:42,408 –> 00:20:46,200
could always get it.
Setting limits on your Wi-Fi

317
00:20:46,200 –> 00:20:50,200
shut off certain time.
You see the problem with Saul’s

318
00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:53,400
armor.
Is it relies on the giant

319
00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:57,300
attacking you?
Not you attacking the giant.

320
00:20:57,300 –> 00:21:00,300
There was a reason that David
says I cannot accept this armor.

321
00:21:01,800 –> 00:21:03,500
First of all, it weighs me down
and makes the battle

322
00:21:03,500 –> 00:21:06,400
complicated.
It makes it, so there will be a

323
00:21:06,408 –> 00:21:10,700
battle.
It’s all thought there’s going

324
00:21:10,700 –> 00:21:13,800
to be a fight.
David says, they’ll be no fight.

325
00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:16,000
God is going to defeat this
giant.

326
00:21:17,200 –> 00:21:19,400
So we have to go into battle
with the mindset that God is

327
00:21:19,400 –> 00:21:24,000
going to beat the Giants for us
not rely on these backup method

328
00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:26,100
methods.
Not rely on things that may get

329
00:21:26,100 –> 00:21:29,300
us some sort of accidental.
Victory, wow, would you look at

330
00:21:29,300 –> 00:21:30,500
that?
I beat that giant.

331
00:21:32,400 –> 00:21:35,900
What are the chances?
So what does David do?

332
00:21:36,600 –> 00:21:39,900
Well, David tries on the armor,
he doesn’t want to use it.

333
00:21:39,900 –> 00:21:44,200
He can’t It’s going to get in
the way, it’s going to weigh him

334
00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:47,100
down.
He’s not even going to need it.

335
00:21:48,800 –> 00:21:51,200
The giant is never going to get
that close.

336
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:58,300
Instead.
It says, in verse 37 says to

337
00:21:58,300 –> 00:22:01,500
solve the Lord that delivered me
out of the Paw of the lion and

338
00:22:01,500 –> 00:22:03,900
out of the Paw of the bear, he
will deliver me of the hand of

339
00:22:03,900 –> 00:22:07,200
philistine and Saul said to
David go and y’all would be with

340
00:22:07,200 –> 00:22:09,500
thee.
Good luck.

341
00:22:11,400 –> 00:22:13,700
And Saul armed David with his
armor and he put a helmet of

342
00:22:13,700 –> 00:22:15,400
brass upon his head.
And also yarn with the coat of

343
00:22:15,400 –> 00:22:18,300
mail and David, girded his sword
upon his armor and you say to go

344
00:22:18,300 –> 00:22:20,800
freed up, proved it.
And David said to Saul, I can’t

345
00:22:20,800 –> 00:22:26,700
go with these I’m not proved
them and David put them off from

346
00:22:26,700 –> 00:22:31,000
him.
And he took him verse 40, his

347
00:22:31,000 –> 00:22:33,900
staff.
And chose him.

348
00:22:33,900 –> 00:22:38,800
Five smooth stones.
And he put them in a shepherd’s

349
00:22:38,800 –> 00:22:43,700
bag.
And his sling in his hand and

350
00:22:43,700 –> 00:22:46,700
with these, he drew near the
Giant.

351
00:22:48,300 –> 00:22:54,800
A stick and five rocks.
Saul’s armor Left Behind.

352
00:22:54,800 –> 00:22:56,300
It’s not going to do any good in
this battle.

353
00:22:58,700 –> 00:23:03,300
David’s Giant.
He didn’t need to defend himself

354
00:23:03,300 –> 00:23:10,100
with those things.
So, what about the five smooth

355
00:23:10,100 –> 00:23:13,500
stones?
You see their smooth for a

356
00:23:13,500 –> 00:23:18,100
reason, brothers and sisters.
They’ve been through it all.

357
00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:24,900
They’ve been smooth worn down.
All the rough edges have been

358
00:23:24,900 –> 00:23:29,800
chiseled away and they’ve stood
the test of time, these aren’t

359
00:23:29,800 –> 00:23:35,400
five new.
Sharp Jagged stones.

360
00:23:37,200 –> 00:23:40,700
These have been in The Rook for
a long time.

361
00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:47,900
And I’ve stood against it all.
So what five Stones can we bring

362
00:23:47,900 –> 00:23:50,600
into our battle against our
giant?

363
00:23:51,300 –> 00:23:57,000
I’d like to share with you just
five that I thought of Ones that

364
00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:02,000
I’ve used in past.
They might not work for you.

365
00:24:03,800 –> 00:24:08,400
They might have the opposite
effect for you, but I don’t use

366
00:24:08,400 –> 00:24:11,300
these every time I don’t use all
of these all the time.

367
00:24:12,800 –> 00:24:16,800
These are just five that I’ve
considered in times past so what

368
00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:19,100
are five smooth stones at
Jason’s used?

369
00:24:20,800 –> 00:24:24,400
Believe it or not?
The daily readings is a big one.

370
00:24:26,700 –> 00:24:29,900
Why everyday can’t just read a
little bit more the next day?

371
00:24:31,200 –> 00:24:35,400
I suppose.
But having a daily.

372
00:24:36,800 –> 00:24:39,800
Regiment, where you sit down and
say, we’re going to read the

373
00:24:39,800 –> 00:24:43,500
word.
What it does is it puts a

374
00:24:43,500 –> 00:24:45,700
priority in everything in your
life.

375
00:24:45,700 –> 00:24:50,800
It says, no matter what happens
today, I’m going to make room in

376
00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:54,800
my ever so busy life.
Forgotten.

377
00:24:57,000 –> 00:24:58,900
See what often can happen as we
can.

378
00:25:00,900 –> 00:25:03,800
And the long day think to
ourselves.

379
00:25:03,900 –> 00:25:06,500
I’m not going to pay attention
if I do the readings, might as

380
00:25:06,500 –> 00:25:11,700
well watch something.
But if we make time and we say,

381
00:25:11,700 –> 00:25:14,300
you know what, I’m going to
start my day with readings.

382
00:25:14,300 –> 00:25:15,400
I’m going to end my day with
readings.

383
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:18,500
Whatever it is.
You can fit it in for me.

384
00:25:18,800 –> 00:25:22,200
Daily readings, have helped
another thing that helps me and

385
00:25:22,200 –> 00:25:25,700
again, this might not work for,
everyone seems to be

386
00:25:25,700 –> 00:25:30,300
christadelphians music.
Even hymns for for me, I’m, I

387
00:25:30,300 –> 00:25:34,200
love music.
And the christadelphians music

388
00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:39,000
that we have in our community is
wonderful and just having it on.

389
00:25:39,000 –> 00:25:45,900
Occasionally can really kind of,
not only settle, but it really

390
00:25:46,300 –> 00:25:48,500
adds perspective.
There’s a lot of things.

391
00:25:48,500 –> 00:25:51,400
You can listen to nowadays, an
infinite amount of things.

392
00:25:52,800 –> 00:25:55,900
It’s really good music out.
There would be Chris Duffy music

393
00:25:55,900 –> 00:25:58,800
and you can find it on a lot of
different mediums.

394
00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:03,000
Another one that works for me.
And I know won’t work for

395
00:26:03,000 –> 00:26:06,200
everyone is prophecy and current
events.

396
00:26:06,500 –> 00:26:08,800
We spoke about it a couple times
this week so far.

397
00:26:11,100 –> 00:26:14,500
For me, there’s nothing quite
like, reading in the news.

398
00:26:16,300 –> 00:26:22,800
Russia attacks Ukraine.
Russia meets with Iran.

399
00:26:24,300 –> 00:26:25,800
You read those little things you
go.

400
00:26:27,700 –> 00:26:30,100
A giant is Tiny.
I could beat this thing.

401
00:26:30,400 –> 00:26:32,000
The kingdom is coming any day
now.

402
00:26:33,900 –> 00:26:38,600
For me, it helps distraction
plans is also something that I

403
00:26:38,608 –> 00:26:41,900
can write down on one of my five
smooth Stones.

404
00:26:43,000 –> 00:26:47,300
As soon as I see that giant
peering over the valley of elah,

405
00:26:48,500 –> 00:26:52,000
Get ready.
I can enact a distraction plan,

406
00:26:52,000 –> 00:26:54,900
whatever it is.
The teens, had some great ideas

407
00:26:54,900 –> 00:26:59,400
on distraction plans.
A quick prayer, a quick reading.

408
00:26:59,700 –> 00:27:03,000
Call a friend.
Distraction plans, can be very,

409
00:27:03,000 –> 00:27:05,700
very helpful in defeating
Giants.

410
00:27:06,700 –> 00:27:11,300
And last but not least, one of
my favorites, but one, I do not

411
00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:15,900
do enough of Is actually
occlusal projects, your

412
00:27:15,900 –> 00:27:19,700
Ecclesia.
We’ll never ever, ever.

413
00:27:19,700 –> 00:27:22,300
Not need you to help out with
projects.

414
00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:25,600
There will always be something
that you can work on it.

415
00:27:25,600 –> 00:27:29,400
Your Ecclesia if your cleavage
anything like mine, there is

416
00:27:29,600 –> 00:27:34,700
always help that can be done.
If you find yourself, just

417
00:27:34,700 –> 00:27:37,600
volunteering for a committee
here and there then you’re going

418
00:27:37,600 –> 00:27:41,400
to sit down and you’re going to
say My life’s too busy to worry

419
00:27:41,400 –> 00:27:43,800
about these things.
I got this do and I got that

420
00:27:43,800 –> 00:27:44,700
doing.
This is going to be done for the

421
00:27:44,700 –> 00:27:46,300
occlusion here, and this is
gonna be done for the closure

422
00:27:46,300 –> 00:27:47,400
there.
And I got to take care of these

423
00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:50,100
kids for this family that kids,
this family, and all of a sudden

424
00:27:50,100 –> 00:27:53,300
you just don’t have time.
To fight these Giants.

425
00:27:55,300 –> 00:27:57,400
That’s a smooth Stone.
You can absolutely use.

426
00:27:59,000 –> 00:28:03,200
Just sheer time limitations can
help.

427
00:28:04,300 –> 00:28:06,100
Some of the things that could
work as course is prayer.

428
00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:13,000
Occlusal friendships and bonds.
Reading any good pieces of work

429
00:28:13,000 –> 00:28:17,100
in our community classes,
spiritual routines, anything

430
00:28:17,100 –> 00:28:22,700
that you think can be a
tried-and-true stone that you

431
00:28:22,700 –> 00:28:24,600
can gather together to fight
your giant.

432
00:28:25,500 –> 00:28:28,200
Maybe just write it down.
You don’t have to use them all.

433
00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:31,600
In fact, you might only need to
use one.

434
00:28:33,300 –> 00:28:36,500
At least you’ll have all five in
case other Giants come your way.

435
00:28:40,000 –> 00:28:44,700
And so, we have Goliath.
Who approaches this boy who has

436
00:28:44,700 –> 00:28:50,200
nothing, but a staff and a sling
and some rocks.

437
00:28:51,700 –> 00:28:56,300
In the battle.
Of the most popular giant

438
00:28:56,300 –> 00:28:59,600
begins.
First 41.

439
00:29:01,000 –> 00:29:05,000
And the Philistine came on and
Drew near to David.

440
00:29:06,800 –> 00:29:11,300
Put your giant in the shoes of
Goliath and you yourself.

441
00:29:12,300 –> 00:29:18,000
Put on the shoes of David, your
giant draws near and the man

442
00:29:18,000 –> 00:29:23,200
that bear The Shield went before
him bad news, your giant has

443
00:29:23,200 –> 00:29:27,100
helped.
This might be a big battle.

444
00:29:29,200 –> 00:29:32,300
And he went sorry and when the
Philistine looked about and saw

445
00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:36,300
David, he disdained him for, he
was, but a youth and Ruddy of a

446
00:29:36,300 –> 00:29:38,000
fair countenance.
In the Philistine said unto

447
00:29:38,000 –> 00:29:42,400
David, am I a dog?
That they’ll come us to me with

448
00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:45,400
sticks and the Philistine cursed
David by his gods.

449
00:29:47,800 –> 00:29:52,200
The Philistine said to David
come to me and I will give thy

450
00:29:52,200 –> 00:29:55,500
flesh into the fowls of the air
and to the beasts of the field.

451
00:29:55,500 –> 00:29:58,000
Then said, David to the
Philistine, you come to me with

452
00:29:58,000 –> 00:30:00,100
a sword with a spear and with
the shield.

453
00:30:02,000 –> 00:30:05,400
Well, Jason would be scared of
all three of those things but I

454
00:30:05,400 –> 00:30:08,400
come to thee in the name of
Yahweh of hosts, the god of the

455
00:30:08,400 –> 00:30:11,700
armies of Israel.
Whom thou Hast defied this day,

456
00:30:11,700 –> 00:30:13,700
will Yahweh delivered the into
mine hand.

457
00:30:14,100 –> 00:30:17,500
Yahweh will deliver thee into my
hand and I will smite thee and

458
00:30:17,500 –> 00:30:20,300
take nine head from the and I
will give the carcasses the host

459
00:30:20,300 –> 00:30:22,300
of the Philistines.
I’m not stopping with, just you

460
00:30:22,300 –> 00:30:25,500
Goliath this day unto the fowls
of the air, into the wild beasts

461
00:30:25,500 –> 00:30:28,900
of the earth that all the Earth.
May know that there is a God in

462
00:30:28,900 –> 00:30:32,000
Israel.
And all this assembly.

463
00:30:33,700 –> 00:30:37,200
Shall finally know.
That you always saves not with

464
00:30:37,200 –> 00:30:40,200
the sword and spear but the
battles yahweh’s.

465
00:30:41,800 –> 00:30:43,700
And he will give you into our
hands.

466
00:30:45,300 –> 00:30:51,500
We see many Echoes, I think To
the Wilderness wanderings at

467
00:30:51,500 –> 00:30:55,500
this point in time.
You see, it said in verse 11

468
00:30:56,300 –> 00:31:00,900
earlier on They were dismayed
and greatly afraid.

469
00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:05,600
Well, I think it’s white people
of gath brought a giant in the

470
00:31:05,608 –> 00:31:08,000
first place, they knew Israel’s
history.

471
00:31:09,900 –> 00:31:13,900
Everyone knew about how the
children of Israel were

472
00:31:14,000 –> 00:31:16,900
terrified of the Giants and how
their God LED them around the

473
00:31:16,908 –> 00:31:23,400
Wilderness for 40 years.
How many days does Goliath

474
00:31:23,500 –> 00:31:27,300
approach before the nation of
Israel and to defy, their God?

475
00:31:28,600 –> 00:31:32,900
It’s 40.
Just as long as the children of

476
00:31:32,900 –> 00:31:34,700
Israel were scared of Giants
last time.

477
00:31:36,500 –> 00:31:40,200
David a youth, he left the
Wilderness.

478
00:31:40,300 –> 00:31:44,100
We’re told in verse 28.
To fight Giants.

479
00:31:45,000 –> 00:31:47,400
That’s Deuteronomy. 8 told us
about the children of Israel

480
00:31:47,900 –> 00:31:50,300
Goliath.
Says the words, am I a Caleb?

481
00:31:51,700 –> 00:31:54,600
In a literal Hebrew.
Am I a dog?

482
00:31:54,700 –> 00:31:59,200
He says Goliath says, I will
give your flesh unto the fowls

483
00:31:59,300 –> 00:32:04,900
and to the beasts.
And this is why I think maybe

484
00:32:04,900 –> 00:32:08,300
these people of gath new
Israel’s history and little

485
00:32:08,300 –> 00:32:11,700
better than Israel.
It, Look at Deuteronomy, 28, the

486
00:32:11,700 –> 00:32:16,400
blessings and the curses chapter
do draw me. 28, looking at verse

487
00:32:16,400 –> 00:32:20,200
25.
Yahweh shall cause thee to be

488
00:32:20,200 –> 00:32:24,200
smitten before thine enemies,
Thou shalt go out one way

489
00:32:24,200 –> 00:32:28,500
against them and flees 7 Ways
before them and shall be removed

490
00:32:28,500 –> 00:32:30,200
into all the kingdoms of the
earth.

491
00:32:30,200 –> 00:32:36,900
And by carcasses shall be meat
unto the fowls of the air, And

492
00:32:36,900 –> 00:32:40,800
into the beasts of the Earth.
And no man shall Fray them away.

493
00:32:40,800 –> 00:32:45,200
And so Goliath coincidentally
uses the same words found and is

494
00:32:45,200 –> 00:32:49,400
he in drawn me?
28, right.

495
00:32:49,400 –> 00:32:52,500
After the verse is talking about
how they would be smitten before

496
00:32:52,500 –> 00:32:55,900
their enemies.
And to David uses.

497
00:32:55,900 –> 00:32:59,200
The words, I will give the
carcasses of the host of the

498
00:32:59,200 –> 00:33:04,400
Philistines and he brings his
words from membership or 14.

499
00:33:05,500 –> 00:33:07,900
The Familiar chapter, which
we’ve looked at a few times this

500
00:33:07,900 –> 00:33:14,500
week so far, numbers 14 verse
33, And your children shall

501
00:33:14,500 –> 00:33:17,600
wander in the wilderness for 40
years and bear your whoredoms

502
00:33:18,500 –> 00:33:22,200
until your carcasses be wasted
in the wilderness.

503
00:33:23,600 –> 00:33:29,600
And there’s many Echoes here.
To the scary history of Israel

504
00:33:29,600 –> 00:33:36,300
and Giants.
But unlike last time, David went

505
00:33:36,300 –> 00:33:40,900
into it, knowing that God could
defeat the Giants.

506
00:33:41,400 –> 00:33:45,600
He says that the battle is
yahweh’s.

507
00:33:49,800 –> 00:33:51,700
Those words were never spoken by
the children of Israel fighting

508
00:33:51,700 –> 00:33:55,200
their Giants.
They said, let’s go back to

509
00:33:55,200 –> 00:33:58,600
Egypt.
So picture the battle with your

510
00:33:58,600 –> 00:34:00,200
own giant.
The giant approaches.

511
00:34:01,500 –> 00:34:03,700
Temptation takes that first step
toward you.

512
00:34:04,200 –> 00:34:06,900
David runs towards it.
It wasn’t a second thought.

513
00:34:06,900 –> 00:34:09,199
No call for backup.
No flinching, no backing down.

514
00:34:09,300 –> 00:34:12,900
He charges towards it.
But not only that, there’s an

515
00:34:12,900 –> 00:34:18,000
entire Army behind him.
He decides now is a good time to

516
00:34:18,000 –> 00:34:25,800
take them on. so brothers and
sisters young people, David

517
00:34:25,800 –> 00:34:30,699
takes down.
Goliath of gath, even though, as

518
00:34:30,699 –> 00:34:35,199
we read, he had many weapons.
What weapons do our Giants use,

519
00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:39,500
in particular, we won’t spend
too much time on this but You

520
00:34:39,500 –> 00:34:41,000
better believe your giant has
weapons.

521
00:34:41,900 –> 00:34:44,900
He’s got many of them.
What weapons does he use

522
00:34:45,400 –> 00:34:47,900
substances?
Social interactions with people.

523
00:34:47,900 –> 00:34:50,000
You just can’t seem to get along
with apps on your phone,

524
00:34:50,000 –> 00:34:53,800
websites online.
What is it that your giant uses

525
00:34:53,800 –> 00:34:57,100
to attack you day in and day
out?

526
00:35:01,900 –> 00:35:07,300
Let’s move if we will.
To the last Giants in Scripture.

527
00:35:10,100 –> 00:35:13,000
We have to scoot forward a
little bit here, but if you’ll

528
00:35:13,000 –> 00:35:18,800
come with me to second Samuel,
chapter 21, Second, same into

529
00:35:18,800 –> 00:35:21,100
21.
We read about the last Giants.

530
00:35:24,000 –> 00:35:26,700
Giants are no longer going to be
a problem as same 121.

531
00:35:27,400 –> 00:35:29,000
They’re going to be defeated
they’re going to be gone out of

532
00:35:29,000 –> 00:35:31,700
the children of Israel I thought
it appropriate.

533
00:35:32,700 –> 00:35:36,700
To conclude our remarks.
This day with looking at the

534
00:35:36,700 –> 00:35:39,600
last ones, the first one, we
like to take a look at his

535
00:35:39,600 –> 00:35:43,200
verses 15 to 17 a giant, by the
name of Ishmael beah.

536
00:35:43,200 –> 00:35:46,600
Knob, moreover, the Philistines
had get War again with Israel.

537
00:35:46,600 –> 00:35:48,600
And David went down in his
servants with him and fought

538
00:35:48,600 –> 00:35:52,900
against the Philistines and
David, waxed faint and ich liebe

539
00:35:52,900 –> 00:35:57,300
knob, which was of the sons of
the giant, the ref aim, the

540
00:35:57,300 –> 00:35:59,900
weight of whose spear weighed
400 shekels of brass and wait,

541
00:36:00,000 –> 00:36:04,900
he girded with a new sword Fox
to have slain daily but abishai

542
00:36:04,900 –> 00:36:07,100
the son of zeruiah.
Is suckered him and smote the

543
00:36:07,107 –> 00:36:11,400
Philistine and killed him.
So we read about this giant ich

544
00:36:11,400 –> 00:36:16,800
liebe knob and second Samuel 21
verse 16, David goes into battle

545
00:36:16,800 –> 00:36:19,000
against the Philistines again as
he had done many many times

546
00:36:19,000 –> 00:36:24,400
before but this new giant bears
on his new sword whether it was

547
00:36:24,400 –> 00:36:27,400
a recent promotion where he
wanted to test his new Weaponry,

548
00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:31,700
whatever it was he had his eyes
set on David.

549
00:36:33,300 –> 00:36:37,400
Israel’s Giants later.
Don’t you hate it when your

550
00:36:37,400 –> 00:36:39,200
weapon when you’re joining gets
new weapons?

551
00:36:39,600 –> 00:36:43,400
Just when you thought you’d
conquered your giant, they come

552
00:36:43,400 –> 00:36:47,700
out with another season.
And man just got to know what

553
00:36:47,700 –> 00:36:51,600
happens.
Even the great Giant Slayer,

554
00:36:51,600 –> 00:36:58,300
David, though, the end of verse
15 waxes faint, it says he gets

555
00:36:58,300 –> 00:37:02,700
tired.
Look at the principal here.

556
00:37:04,200 –> 00:37:06,200
Because abishai comes to the
rescue.

557
00:37:07,600 –> 00:37:09,700
Fighting giants is exhausting
work.

558
00:37:11,200 –> 00:37:12,800
It’s exhausting work.
What happens?

559
00:37:12,800 –> 00:37:15,100
If you see your brother sister
struggling with their giant, you

560
00:37:15,100 –> 00:37:18,200
help them.
Sometimes we can see other

561
00:37:18,200 –> 00:37:20,300
people carrying the weight of
their Giant and for whatever

562
00:37:20,300 –> 00:37:23,700
reason, we don’t want that.
Wait on us and we just say, man,

563
00:37:23,700 –> 00:37:28,000
it’s bummer for them.
Abishai does not do that.

564
00:37:28,000 –> 00:37:30,800
The giant is gaining.
The giant has the advantage and

565
00:37:30,800 –> 00:37:37,300
it has its eyes on Mighty David.
But before he can, Smite weary

566
00:37:37,300 –> 00:37:40,300
David down, abishai, the son of
Zaire uyi.

567
00:37:40,300 –> 00:37:44,000
Comes to the rescue of his king
and slays a giant.

568
00:37:45,000 –> 00:37:48,100
We may recognize the name
abishai from one other place in

569
00:37:48,100 –> 00:37:51,900
Scripture.
First Samuel, 26 abishai,

570
00:37:51,900 –> 00:37:53,200
learned, a very important
lesson.

571
00:37:53,200 –> 00:38:01,000
In first name of 26, A Vachon,
And David together, they spy

572
00:38:01,000 –> 00:38:05,300
solve.
And abishai says come Lord, let

573
00:38:05,300 –> 00:38:10,300
us kill him.
I’ll put a spear through him.

574
00:38:10,900 –> 00:38:12,800
I won’t even have to stab him
twice.

575
00:38:13,900 –> 00:38:17,300
And David says Yahweh forbid
that I should stretch forth my

576
00:38:17,300 –> 00:38:20,400
hand against you always anointed
and what abishai learns that

577
00:38:20,400 –> 00:38:27,400
day.
Is that God will take care of

578
00:38:27,400 –> 00:38:31,100
you always anointed whether for
good or for evil and I can

579
00:38:31,100 –> 00:38:34,200
picture abishai running into the
battle against the giant

580
00:38:34,300 –> 00:38:36,600
protecting yahweh’s anointed
themselves and screaming the

581
00:38:36,600 –> 00:38:38,200
word.
Yahweh forbid that you should

582
00:38:38,200 –> 00:38:42,100
stretch forth your hand against
you always annoyed when it’s

583
00:38:42,100 –> 00:38:43,400
David’s turn.
Die, he’ll die.

584
00:38:43,400 –> 00:38:48,100
But not by your hand Giant And
abishai kills a giant.

585
00:38:48,100 –> 00:38:52,200
And then after this David’s men
having been so close to losing

586
00:38:52,200 –> 00:38:55,100
their King.
Whom they idolize were told

587
00:38:55,600 –> 00:38:59,900
insisted that he never go to
battle again and this is

588
00:38:59,900 –> 00:39:04,100
David’s, final battle.
Against ich liebe knob.

589
00:39:06,100 –> 00:39:11,400
You see, brothers and sisters.
Giants were the bookends to

590
00:39:11,400 –> 00:39:15,700
David’s battles.
The first he fought in first

591
00:39:15,700 –> 00:39:19,700
Samuel 17 and his last battle
second statement 21.

592
00:39:22,500 –> 00:39:25,600
When people say thou shalt go,
no more with us to battle that

593
00:39:25,600 –> 00:39:27,700
they’ll quench.
Not the light of Israel.

594
00:39:30,400 –> 00:39:32,500
And the mighty Giant Slayer
himself.

595
00:39:34,700 –> 00:39:37,900
In this chapter, you won’t slay
any more Giants.

596
00:39:39,000 –> 00:39:40,800
But everyone who works for him
does.

597
00:39:44,200 –> 00:39:52,200
We see 43, other Giants.
We cease F in verse 18.

598
00:39:54,100 –> 00:39:57,500
We see La me in verse 18, if you
connect it with the equal

599
00:39:57,500 –> 00:40:01,200
account in first Chronicles 20,
and we see finally, the twenty

600
00:40:01,200 –> 00:40:06,300
four digit giant whose unnamed,
but slain by David’s nephew and

601
00:40:06,300 –> 00:40:10,100
it says, in verse 22, 22, these
four were born to the Giant and

602
00:40:10,107 –> 00:40:13,900
Gaff the ref a game, and gas and
fell by the hand of David.

603
00:40:13,900 –> 00:40:16,300
And by the hand of his servants,
David didn’t kill any of those

604
00:40:16,300 –> 00:40:22,000
four, but his examples did And
brothers and sisters.

605
00:40:22,600 –> 00:40:25,200
Second segment. 21 is the end of
the Giants.

606
00:40:25,800 –> 00:40:28,500
No more Giants will approach
before the children of Israel.

607
00:40:29,600 –> 00:40:33,900
their test of physical Giants is
complete, and it’s so poetic,

608
00:40:36,200 –> 00:40:38,300
but the Servants of David are
the ones who handle it.

609
00:40:40,300 –> 00:40:43,000
Ever since Genesis chapter 6,
Giants have been roaming the

610
00:40:43,000 –> 00:40:46,500
Earth threatening, the followers
of God, what we’ve seen is that

611
00:40:46,500 –> 00:40:48,300
while they were tall, they are
feeble.

612
00:40:48,600 –> 00:40:51,800
While they are Mighty, they are
meant to fall in first.

613
00:40:51,800 –> 00:40:54,700
Samuel 17 story of Goliath that
says he fell.

614
00:40:56,500 –> 00:41:01,700
On his face.
Giants are meant to fall.

615
00:41:03,100 –> 00:41:05,600
It wasn’t until after he was
dead in his head was removed.

616
00:41:05,600 –> 00:41:07,000
He was referred to as a
champion.

617
00:41:09,100 –> 00:41:13,100
What it was.
But Giants are meant to fall.

618
00:41:14,300 –> 00:41:17,300
All Giants are great and scary
and daunting.

619
00:41:17,400 –> 00:41:19,800
Our God is greater in every
aspect.

620
00:41:23,300 –> 00:41:25,300
Don’t have time to go through
too much more.

621
00:41:26,200 –> 00:41:29,900
We do not have time to go
through our note card, maybe

622
00:41:29,900 –> 00:41:33,000
tomorrow.
But I’d like to read for you.

623
00:41:34,800 –> 00:41:39,100
A song.
In which David’s mind was on his

624
00:41:39,100 –> 00:41:47,400
victories with Goliath.
So short Psalm, Psalm 8. if you

625
00:41:47,400 –> 00:41:51,400
ever need, A pep, talk from
scripture on how to beat your

626
00:41:51,400 –> 00:41:54,700
giant.
Soul mates.

627
00:41:54,700 –> 00:42:00,100
A perfect one.
Oh Yahweh our Lord.

628
00:42:01,100 –> 00:42:03,400
How excellent is thy name in all
the Earth?

629
00:42:04,800 –> 00:42:07,000
Who has set thy Glory above the
heavens?

630
00:42:08,900 –> 00:42:11,600
Out of the mouths of babes and
sucklings hast, thou ordained

631
00:42:11,600 –> 00:42:14,600
strength because of thine
enemies, that thou mightest

632
00:42:14,600 –> 00:42:19,200
still the enemy and the Avenger,
when I consider the heavens, the

633
00:42:19,200 –> 00:42:23,000
work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou Hast

634
00:42:23,000 –> 00:42:24,600
ordained.
What is man, that thou art

635
00:42:24,600 –> 00:42:27,900
mindful of him and the son of
man, that that was visited him.

636
00:42:29,100 –> 00:42:31,700
That was made him a little lower
than the angels and is crowned

637
00:42:31,700 –> 00:42:34,900
him with Glory and Honor.
They made us him to have

638
00:42:34,900 –> 00:42:37,900
dominion over the works of the
hands of thy hands.

639
00:42:38,100 –> 00:42:42,800
That was put all things under
his feet, all sheep and oxen.

640
00:42:43,800 –> 00:42:46,900
Yeah, and the beasts of the
field, the fowl of the air, and

641
00:42:46,900 –> 00:42:49,500
efficiency and whatsoever,
passes through the paths of the

642
00:42:49,500 –> 00:42:54,000
sea.
Oh, Yahweh our Lord.

643
00:42:55,900 –> 00:43:00,400
How excellent is thy name in all
of the Earth?

644
00:43:02,600 –> 00:43:06,500
I would now like us if we would
to conclude our session this

645
00:43:06,500 –> 00:43:11,500
morning with singing These
familiar words of Psalm 8.

646
00:43:13,100 –> 00:43:15,700
They’re laid out beautifully for
us in him five.

647
00:43:18,500 –> 00:43:23,300
These words were written by a
giant slayer himself.

648
00:43:25,000 –> 00:43:29,700
There were days that I meant to
Humble ourselves and Elevate the

649
00:43:29,700 –> 00:43:35,900
excellent name of our father.
So from one giant slayer to us,

650
00:43:37,100 –> 00:43:41,400
Him five afterwards, you may
remain standing for a closing

651
00:43:41,400 –> 00:43:43,800
word of prayer with her brother.
Luke Colby, from the book wrote

652
00:43:43,800 –> 00:43:47,200
Ecclesia to close in prayer and
to give, thanks for lunch.

653
00:43:49,200 –> 00:43:54,500
Him five.
Verse 4 O Lord.

654
00:43:55,600 –> 00:43:59,800
How excellent is Thy Name?
How manifold are thy ways?

655
00:44:01,300 –> 00:44:04,100
Let’s time.
They saving truth, Proclaim

656
00:44:04,600 –> 00:44:08,000
eternity by Praise Him.
Five.

657
00:46:23,400 –> 00:46:26,900
Dear heavenly father.
How great is your name in all

658
00:46:26,900 –> 00:46:30,200
the Earth we come before you at
this time.

659
00:46:30,200 –> 00:46:34,700
Thankful for the time we’ve been
able to spend this morning in

660
00:46:34,700 –> 00:46:37,100
consideration of your words of
truth.

661
00:46:38,100 –> 00:46:41,600
We pray that you had helped to
give us the strength, help us to

662
00:46:41,600 –> 00:46:46,000
know how we can identify the
issues in our life that need to

663
00:46:46,000 –> 00:46:49,500
be thrown down.
We pray for your guidance and

664
00:46:49,500 –> 00:46:52,100
your strength.
Help us not to be overcome by

665
00:46:52,100 –> 00:46:58,200
sin, but to know how we can put
our trust in you that only

666
00:46:58,200 –> 00:47:01,200
through your guidance and
through your strength, we might

667
00:47:01,200 –> 00:47:04,700
be able to overcome the sin that
so easily besets us.

668
00:47:05,900 –> 00:47:08,800
We pray for your guidance.
Helped to give us a vision of

669
00:47:08,800 –> 00:47:12,500
that future day to come to be
watching and waiting.

670
00:47:14,100 –> 00:47:18,700
Or the return of your son.
We pray for that day to be soon.

671
00:47:18,700 –> 00:47:23,600
That day when we will be working
alongside your angels.

672
00:47:26,200 –> 00:47:29,200
To fill the Earth with your
glory as the waters.

673
00:47:29,200 –> 00:47:31,400
Cover the sea.
We thank you.

674
00:47:31,400 –> 00:47:35,100
Now for the mini continual
blessings, you provide for us

675
00:47:35,100 –> 00:47:37,300
for the food that has been
provided.

676
00:47:37,300 –> 00:47:39,600
We know that all blessings come
from your open hand.

677
00:47:40,600 –> 00:47:43,100
Be with us this day, we pray,
help us to strengthen and

678
00:47:43,100 –> 00:47:45,200
encourage each other.
On our walk, towards your

679
00:47:45,200 –> 00:47:48,900
kingdom, as we ask these things,
now in your son’s name the Lord

680
00:47:48,900 –> 00:47:50,700
Jesus Christ.
Amen.
