1Sam 17:24 "And all the men of  Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid."

To gain victory over negative situation in life: "Perceive your situations differently, Engage the battle with your tools, Look at past victories, Put your faith in action, View every situation through God's covenant" and:


6: SIZE THE SITUATION DOWN, NOT UP.

Despite Israelite soldiers fearing Goliath, David came out boldly and belittled the situation by calling Goliath an uncircumcised Philistine.

"And David spake to the men that stood by  him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the  reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" (1Sam 17:26).

This statement proved that David saw himself above the giant. Other Israelites soldiers dare not call him that. Why? They never saw themselves above him. They were intimidated by the size of the man and the armor he possessed. But not so with David.

Beloved, see yourself above your giants. Speak to every situation that you face irrespective of its size. Don't be intimidated for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2Tim 1:7). We must tap into this spirit of boldness to confront all confrontations.

Speaking into your situation presents the opportunity to defeat it. David belittling the situation led to Saul overhearing which then gave David the opportunity to go on to fight Goliath. Belitle your situation. Size it down. Don't see it big. Instead, look at how big your God is and your challenge will gradually fade off.

PRAYER: Every confrontation of the devil against you is null and void in Jesus name
