No matter how big the giant might be, our God is Bigger

Growing up, I learned how to walk around giants—spiritual, cultural, and generational—because fear taught me to avoid what I did not yet have the authority to confront. But in 2016, when the Lord invaded my life with a radical, undeniable encounter, everything changed. I became like David on the battlefield, a shepherd boy who refused to measure the giant by its size but measured it by the greatness of the God who stood with him. I no longer saw threats; I saw testimonies waiting to happen. I no longer saw impossibilities; I saw victories already secured in the courts of Heaven.


Like David, I have witnessed the Lord break chains I thought would follow me forever. I have watched Him shatter the assignments of darkness that believed they had legal claim over my life. I have seen Him silence the accuser, overthrow strongholds, and dismantle every lie that once tried to define me. It is from this revelation of Yahweh—the Deliverer, the Warrior, the Covenant‑Keeper—that I minister, write, and teach. I do not speak from theory; I speak from encounter. I do not preach from intellect; I preach from the fire of a life rescued by God’s own hand.


There are giants in the Church today—giants of deception, tradition, compromise, and counterfeit spirituality—that many refuse to confront. But my life is bound to obedience, not comfort. When the Lord says, “Take that giant down,” I move with the confidence of one who knows the battle is already won. No giant—whether religious ritual, cultural darkness, or demonic ideology—can stand against the truth of the Kingdom.

I do not fight for victory; I fight from victory. And every giant that rises against the purposes of God will fall, because the same God who delivered me is the same God who still brings down giants.


I have learned that giants don’t fall because we shout at them—they fall because we stand in covenant identity and wield the authority of the One who sent us. The Church does not need more polished speeches or safer sermons; it needs voices forged in the secret place, men and women who have wrestled lions and bears when no one was watching. It needs shepherds who refuse to bow to the fear of man and warriors who refuse to negotiate with darkness. This generation is not starving for information; it is starving for demonstration. And demonstration only flows from those who have seen Yahweh move in power and refuse to settle for anything less.


We are living in a time when the giants of culture mock the armies of the living God, daring the Church to remain silent. But the Remnant is rising—those who have oil in their lamps, fire in their bones, and truth in their mouths. This Remnant is not intimidated by the size of the opposition because they know the size of their God. They are not impressed by the roar of the enemy because they have heard the voice of the Shepherd. They are not paralyzed by the darkness because they carry the light that darkness cannot comprehend.


So I call the Remnant of this generation to stand up, step forward, and take your place on the battlefield. Do not walk around the giants of your day—run toward them with the confidence of Heaven. Lift your voice. Draw your sword. Plant your feet. The same God who delivered David is the same God who backs you. This is your hour. This is your assignment. This is your battlefield. Remnant of God—RISE and take down every giant standing in the way of Kingdom destiny.
