Notes
God is bigger than your giant!
How we view God will determine how we view life as well.
“And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul” (Psalm 106:15).
12 spies were sent in: 10 brought back an evil report, and two brought back a good report.
The Majority Report: they did not see God for who He is, they only saw their problems.
The Minority Report: they saw God for who He is and also saw the obstacles and challenges.
1. When you allow fear to grip you, everything is affected.
They focused their attention on the obstacles instead of their objective.
When you fix your attention on the obstacles rather than the objective, fear will always eclipse your faith.
2. When you allow fear to grip you, everything is affected.
Faith and worry cannot coexist together!
When you trust you do not worry and when you worry you do not trust.
3. God does not want us to run from our giants but attack them!
Communion is for believers only.

Everybody Greg Laurie here. You're listening to the Greg Laurie podcasting.
My objective is to deliver hopefully compelling practical insights and faith culture and current events. From a biblical perspective to find out more about our ministry.
Just go to our website harvest.org so thanks for joining me for this podcast and I like you to turn in your Bibles to Numbers chapter 13 while you're turning there when we prayed together, father, how we need a revival in America. A spiritual awakening not just in our nation within nations around the world because I know people watch us from all around this planet that we live on Lord we need you. We need you to intervene in our cities.
We need you to intervene in our homes. We need you to intervene in our lives, so we ask you to bless this time as we look in your word for we ask it in Jesus name. You know, one of my favorite stories in the Bible is a story of David and Goliath, etc. perfect story.
We love to tell it to our children. But listen, it's not a fairytale. It really happened. Of course it's a story of a young boy that was not appreciated by his father and his name was David and he was sent on inherent his brothers had gone to war and his father wanted him to take some food to his brothers basically was bread and cheese so effectively. David was making a pizza delivery right or a quesadilla if you will.
He brings bread and cheese to his brothers and as he arrives in the camp of the Israelites, he hears the voice of a giant oversize man down and down the valley of the law. Just bellowing out.
Send someone to come and fight me. That man's name was Goliath.
9'6" of solid muscle. Everyone was terrified of this giant of a man no one was willing to go and buy them until David showed up. And of course he went and faced off with Goliath known interesting thing about that story is Goliath wasn't just hanging around down in the Valley sin send someone to find me he was coming up into the camp of the Israelites. He was right up in their business taunting them right there. Hey, man, let's fight that cell giants are. You give them an inch and will take a mile. See Greg what are you talking about with giants I'm talking about giant problems. I'm talking about giant challenges. I'm talking about giant addictions. I'm talking about when you're freezing right now. Maybe it is your listening to me you are facing a gigantic problem and as the days go by your giant just gets bigger and your giant just like Goliath time today in and day out. For instance, it could be a giant of fear you're afraid right now and no wonder
