THE GIANTS ARE FALLING

THE GIANTS ARE FALLING

“Big mountain, you are no problem. You will become flat ground in front of Zerubbabel. Then he will bring out the last and biggest stone of my house. The people will shout, ‘God bless it! God bless it!’ ” ’  ‘Zerubbabel has put down the first stone of my house. He will also finish it.’ Then you will know that the Lord  Almighty has sent me to you." - Zechariah 4:7, 9 (EASY)

In 1924, two climbers were part of an expedition that set out to conquer Mount Everest. As far as is known, they never reached the summit; and they never returned. Somewhere on that gigantic mountain they were overpowered by the elements and died. After the failure of the expedition, the rest of the party returned home. Addressing a meeting thereafter, one of those who returned described the ill-fated adventure. He then turned to a huge photograph of Mount Everest, mounted on the wall behind him. “Everest,” he cried, “we tried to conquer you once, but you overpowered us. We tried to conquer you a second time, but again you were too much for us. But, Everest, I want you to know that we are going to conquer you, for you can’t grow any bigger, and we can!” 

There are challenges that appears extremely overwhelming and insurmountable. These challenges can be described as "mountains" on the path of man. The Holy Spirit recorded many examples of such mountain-like issues in the Bible. For instance,  in 1 Samuel 17:1-51, everyone in Israel were intimidated, embarrassed and terrorised by an overwhelming mountain-like creature called Goliath for forty days. The elements of fear and intimidation oozing  out of that mountain succeeded in shutting down or paralysing the entire nation of Israel. Everyone was traumatised by the threat of a 9 feet, 9 inches Big Unfriendly Giant who has impressive track records of conquering whosoever dare to confront him. But one day, God raised a mountain climber and giant killer in David, the son of Jesse. Like the man in the above story, By the spirit of prophesy,  David addressed the intimidating mountain, deleted Goliath and terminated the long time harassment/embarrassment in the land of Israel (1 Samuel 17:46, 51). 

"Today the Lord will make me strong to win against you. I will hit you so that you fall to the ground. Then I will cut off your head. Today I will feed the birds and the wild animals with the dead bodies of the Philistine soldiers. Then everyone on the earth will know that there is a God who takes care of Israel. The Lord does not need swords or spears to save his people. Everyone here will soon know that! The Lord is the one who fights for us. He will make us strong to win against you.’  David then ran and stood beside Goliath. He took hold of Goliath's sword and he killed Goliath. Then he cut off his head with the sword . The Philistines saw that their best soldier was now dead. So they ran away".-1 Samuel 17:46-47, 51 (EASY)

Beloved, what is that Mount Everest or Goliath that is standing before you today? It doesn't matter how many people the mountain or giant has conquered, but as the Lord lives, you and your household will not be conquered in Jesus name. If you dare to make the Almighty God your strong tower, then what swallowed others will not swallow you. If you make the Omnipotent One your permanent ally,  you cannot be humiliated by Everest or Goliath. As the Lord lives, the Most High God will hide you in His "secret place" so that every evil giant or mountain ravaging the whole world will not come near your abode (Psalms 91). 

The lyrics of one song that describes how we can truly watch our Goliath falling and our mount Everest turning to plain is titled "Prophesy Your Promise" . 

"Prophesy Your Promise" by Bryan & Katie Torwalt

I found You in the middle of my mess
You had been there all along
Open arms and open heart,
You called me in
You didn't hesitate at all

And the lies I once believed
They crumble
With the weight of Your truth
And the fear that gripped my heart
Is arrested
So that I can see You

When I only see in part
I will prophesy Your promise
I believe You, God
'Cause You finish what You start
I will trust You in the process
I believe You, God

You set a table in the middle of my war
You knew the outcome of it all
When what I faced looked like it would never end
You said, watch the giants fall

And the lies I once believed
They crumble
With the weight of Your truth
And the fear that gripped my heart
Is arrested

So that I can see You
When I only see in part
I will prophesy Your promise…

My prayer for you and my humble self is that, every spirit of Goliath seeking for opportunity to enslave us shall be exposed and disgraced in Jesus name. As the Lord lives, all giant problems or big enemies threatening your peace, harassing and intimidating you and your household shall perish like Goliath in Jesus name. Finally, by the spirit of prophesy, I pronounce instant judgment upon every council of giants  and mountain-like virus threatening the world and ravaging the nations this day in Jesus name. In the name that above every other names, the giants are falling and the mountains are crumbling now,  Amen

Good morning and God bless you.

Maranatha!
