Zariah, secured him and smotethe Philistine and killed him.
Then the men of David swareunto him saying Thou shalt go no

in Gath where was a man of greatstature that had on every hand
six fingers and on every foot?

Then he came to that biggestgiant in his life, goliath.
And again God gave him thevictory.

In our Bible reading here today,it said in verse number 15,
there is war again.
Now David has grown old, he isno longer that young man with a
harp in one hand and a slingshotin the other hand, but now he
is an older man.
His endurance for battle isfailing, for it said in verse
(06:00):
number 15 that he waxed faint.
Amen.
His power was gone.
His stamina to fight the longday of battle was waxing old.
He was past his prime as afighter and Ish-bib-nab has
found this weakness in him andthe Bible said that he was about
to kill him with a new sword.
(06:22):
But it's good to find out thatDavid had already began the
training program of anothergeneration of giant killers.
And when David was waxing faint, these men were waxing strong
and they were ready to fight thegood fight.
Amen.
Men like Abishai in verse 17,.

rise up and fight for the causeof the king and the kingdom, and
they were willing to hazardtheir own lives and stand beside
(07:03):
their faithful leader.
Amen.
I really believe that today inthe holiness movement there are
giants that are moving againstour churches.
Amen, can you agree with me onthat.
There are giants that aremoving against our churches.
They are not physical specimensof height or even great
strength, but they are spiritualattackers who seem to be larger

In the Bible, the biblicalrecord tells us there were some
great men who were anointed tobe giant killers.
(09:54):
There were men like Joshua.
Oh, what a great man and heroof the faith he was.
That man, joshua, amen.
His very name, amen, meanssalvation.
He was ready to fight thegiants in Canaan.
He said let's go get them,let's win the battle.

Men like David, that were menafter God's own heart Amen.
They said we're going to fight.
Others may bow or even run away, but I'm commissioned to kill
giants.

believers.
Oh, yes, we have.
In every generation of ourholiness movement we have had
many great giant killers.
They have fought their ownbattles with violent and
murderous giants.
But now, as they grow older andtheir strength begins to fade
and their physical body beginsto weaken, they are looking for
(10:58):
somebody in the holinessmovement that will stand up and
be another generation of giantkillers.

There's always a group ofpeople that say let's just live
(11:18):
with the giant, let's justtolerate the giant, let's just
put up with him a little bit,amen.
There's always a generationlike that, that said let's just
tolerate the giant, let's justput up with him a little bit,
amen.
There's always a generationlike that that said let's just
tolerate him, let's tolerate sin, let's tolerate the world.

young people that say I can'twin.

And we live in a day, amen, day, where we have plenty of giants
.
You can ask the oldergeneration and they would list

They fought against their owngiants.
But I'm not worried about thepast generation right now.

We are living in a day wheregiants are attacking us, things
that we've never had to dealwith before, problems that we've
never had to go through before.
Young people, I realize thatyou're facing a giant, but I
(14:19):
tell you, in the name of Jesus,you've got to be a giant killer
that's equal to the giant that'sattacking you.
Hey, let me deal with some ofthese giant killers.
This is what I need to preachright here Amen.

He said don't hold us too long,it's hot.
(14:39):
I'll tell you what I told them.
I said I'm going to be hotterthan you are, amen.
So I know it's hot today, allright, and so let's just bear
with this and let me preach andlet the Holy Ghost move, amen.
The first generational giantthat I see here is that one of
materialism.
There's a giant that isattacking us in the area of
(15:02):
materialism.
Oh, yes, you see yourgeneration.
Young people have been toldthat you can have the best of
everything.
As a matter of fact, youdeserve it.
Amen.
You deserve the best.
Nothing less than the best willdo.
It starts with our clothes Amen.
We've got to have the best.
Nothing less than the best willdo.
It starts with our clothes Amen, we've got to have the best.
(15:24):
It goes all the way down to ourshoes Amen.
It goes over to everyelectronic gadget Amen.
It moves into every realm ofentertainment.
You deserve the best.
If you want it, you get it.
If it's your pleasure, have it.
If it's your want, go get it.
If it's your desire, amen.
(15:44):
Get it on the credit card ifyou have to, but get it at all
costs, amen.
And then, as young people getolder, it moves over into cars
and houses, and then they wantboats, and then they want
everything else Amen.
It's a spirit of materialism.
Amen, you deserve it.
We live in an entitlementsociety where everybody feels
(16:09):
like they deserve what they want.
Now you listen to this preacher.
There is no sin in dressingnice.
As a matter of fact, I believeyou ought to look as nice as you
can, amen.
Soap doesn't cost much andshampoo doesn't cost much, and
deodorant would work and atoothbrush would be great.
Boys, amen.
(16:30):
I tell you, it doesn't hurt foryou to look as good as you can.
You ought to dress as nice asyou can when you go to the house
of God, amen, you ought todress as nice as you can.
When you go to the house of God, amen, you ought to wear your
best.
I said you ought to wear yourbest.
You ought not come in lookinglike you just crawled out of bed
, amen, you ought not come inlooking like you just played a
ball game or you've beensleeping with the dogs.
(16:52):
I tell you you ought to come inlooking right.
There's no sin in dressing nice, no sin in having nice clothes.
I believe you ought to have anice car.
I believe you ought to have agood house, hey.
But when the spirit ofmaterialism gets a hold on your
heart, you allow your prioritiesto get out of line and the
(17:13):
things of this life becomeprioritized above the things of
God.
Hey, friend, if you're in thatposition, you're allowing the
giant of materialism to destroyyou, and you need to go to
battle with that thing and get avictory over the giant of
materialism.
Hey, do you hear the preacherright now?
(17:34):
I tell you you ought not worryabout even what you look like,
so much as what your soul lookslike.
Amen, you ought to worry abouteven what you look like so much
as what your soul looks like.
Even you ought to worry abouteven putting God first.
Even see thee first.
The kingdom of God and Hisrighteousness and all these
other things shall be added untoyou.
(17:55):
Oh, amen.
There are two places.
Help me, holy Ghost.
There are two places inscripture that deal with our
choice between God and money.
In Matthew, chapter number 6,and in Luke, chapter number 16.
He deals with these two things.
In Matthew, he deals withlaying your treasure up In
(18:18):
heaven and not on earth andsaysek God first.
In Luke, he deals with the factthat you cannot serve two
masters.
You must choose either God ormoney.
And then he begins to deal withadultery and finally goes
straight to the story of a richman going to hell.
(18:40):
The inference is obvious If youallow materialism to get a hold
of you, it will affect yourmorals and it will take you to
hell.
Amen, I tell you right now.
It is the same spirit thatcauses you to go after
materialism that will cause youto be immoral.
Do you hear what I just said?
(19:01):
It is the same spirit thatcauses you to go after
materialism that will lead youto immorality.
That's why the Holy Ghost spokeabout it in Luke and he said if
you want materialism, even thenext step is immorality and the
next step is hell.
I tell you, my friend, it isdangerous to let the giant of
(19:23):
materialism get a hold of yourheart.
You've got to turn your back onthe pleasure of the world and
put your priorities right.
I tell you, seek God first andGod will take care of you.
God will give you the job youneed.
God will give you the house youneed.
God will take care of you.
God will give you the job youneed.
God will give you the house youneed.
God will take care of it.
Young people, even put youraffection on things above, not
(19:46):
on things of this world.
You've got to put youraffection on a higher plane.
Even notice what it said.
Set your affection Even.
That means to pick it up andplace it there.
You cannot let the worlddictate when your affection is,
but you've got to place them Ona higher power, place them on a
(20:06):
higher plane, place them on thepower of God, put your
priorities Even toward God.
Amen, amen.
Not only is there a giant that'saffecting our materialism, but
there is a giant that isattacking our minds.
(20:27):
Help me, holy Ghost, there hasbeen an attack on the minds of
our youth.
This giant has tried to twistand corrupt their minds.
You see, the mind is the firstbattlefield in our Christian
walk.
The devil knows if I can get avictory in their mind, it won't
(20:51):
be long and I'll be in theirdaily life.
And so he tries to gain accessto your mind.
How does he do that?
He tries to gain access throughyour eyes what you see.
He tries to gain access throughyour ears, through a hurt
feeling, through a broken heart.
He tries to gain through afailure of the past or a fear of
(21:11):
the present, or even thefutility of the future.
He tries to gain access andwork on your mind.
Oh, satan will bring depression, he will bring a darkness upon
you.
He'll tell you that God doesn'tcare.
He'll tell you your churchdoesn't really care.
He'll tell you your pastor's anold fogey and he'll try to work
(21:32):
his way in your mind.
And Satan will torment andtorture you in your mind until
you're ready to give up.
He'll tell you there's no hope.
Hey, did you come in here todayand your mind is in turmoil and
you'd like to get help.
But you wonder if you can.
Hey, is your mind under attackfrom the powers of hell?
(21:54):
Is the enemy talking in yourmind?
No-transcript.

You've got to be ready.
I said you can't be gettingready, you've got to be ready.
(00:44):
You've got to have everythingsettled.
I said you can't be gettingready, you've got to be ready.
You've got to have everythingsettled and prepared to go.

Amen, you've got to be ageneration of giant killers.
Notice here Amen, there hasbeen a generation of giant
killers.
You can look in the ageneration of giant killers.
You can look in the Bible andfind giant killers.
In the Bible, the biblicalrecord tells us there were some
great men who were anointed tobe giant killers.
(09:54):
There were men like Joshua.
Oh, what a great man and heroof the faith he was.
That man, joshua, amen.
His very name, amen, meanssalvation.
He was ready to fight thegiants in Canaan.
He said let's go get them,let's win the battle.
Men like Caleb, whose namemeans devoted, that said I'll
(10:15):
fight the three giants of Anakand I will destroy them.
Men like David, that were menafter God's own heart Amen.
They said we're going to fight.
Others may bow or even run away, but I'm commissioned to kill
giants.
They were those among the Bible.
But can I tell you we've hadgiant killers among our
(10:36):
believers.
Oh, yes, we have.
In every generation of ourholiness movement we have had
many great giant killers.
They have fought their ownbattles with violent and
murderous giants.
But now, as they grow older andtheir strength begins to fade
and their physical body beginsto weaken, they are looking for
(10:58):
somebody in the holinessmovement that will stand up and
be another generation of giantkillers.
Amen.
Oh yes, hear me now.
But not everybody is a giantkiller.
I said not everybody is a giantkiller.
There's always a group ofpeople that say let's just live
(11:18):
with the giant, let's justtolerate the giant, let's just
put up with him a little bit,amen.
There's always a generationlike that, that said let's just
tolerate the giant, let's justput up with him a little bit,
amen.
There's always a generationlike that that said let's just
tolerate him, let's tolerate sin, let's tolerate the world.
Amen.
Remember the twelve spies?
Only Joshua and Caleb came backand said we can kick them, we
(11:39):
can kill them rather.
Amen.
I'll tell you right now.
Amen.
They said we can kick themrather.
Amen.
I'll tell you right now.
Amen.
They said we can kick them outand we can pull down their
stronghold and we can get thevictory.
Amen, we can kill the giant.
But there were ten others thatsaid we cannot do it.
Amen, we cannot go in, wecannot get the victory.
(12:01):
You see, we are living in ageneration where there are some
young people that say I can'twin.
There are some moms and dadsthat say we cannot win.
There are even some preachersthat are burying their head in
the sand and they say we can'twin.
But I believe God is soundingthe trumpet, amen.
And calling out the troops ofanother generation and saying
(12:25):
somebody's going to rise up,somebody's going to stand for me
, somebody's going to be afighter, somebody's going to
stand for the truth.
Amen.
I'm looking today for ageneration of giant killers.
Amen.
Thank God for the heroes of thepast, thank God for the heroes
of the day, but I'm looking foranother generation of giant
(12:49):
killers.
Amen, hallelujah.
Not only is there a generationof giant killers, but here's
what I want to preach to youtoday.
Notice, there is a generationof giants, every generation has
their giants, and if there'sgoing to be a giant killer,
(13:12):
there's got to be a giant.
Is that right?
Amen.
If there's going to be a giantkiller, there's got to be
something to fight.
And we live in a day, amen, day, where we have plenty of giants
.
You can ask the oldergeneration and they would list
the things that they battled.
They fought against their owngiants.
But I'm not worried about thepast generation right now.
(13:34):
I'm worried about this presentgeneration.
You hear me, young people,right now, you have your own set
of giants that you've got tobattle.
I'm worried about this presentgeneration.
You hear me, young people,right now, amen, you have your
own set of giants that you'vegot to battle.
You've got your own fight onyour hands, amen.
That's why you've got to be agiant killer, for there are
giants that are attacking yourgeneration.

(13:56):
In verse 18, war again In verse19,.
War again In verse 19,.
War again In verse 20, there'syet again another war.
Amen.
We are living in a day wheregiants are attacking us, things
that we've never had to dealwith before, problems that we've
never had to go through before.
Young people, I realize thatyou're facing a giant, but I
(14:19):
tell you, in the name of Jesus,you've got to be a giant killer
that's equal to the giant that'sattacking you.
Hey, let me deal with some ofthese giant killers.
This is what I need to preachright here Amen.
Somebody told me.
He said don't hold us too long,it's hot.
(14:39):
I'll tell you what I told them.
I said I'm going to be hotterthan you are, amen.
So I know it's hot today, allright, and so let's just bear
with this and let me preach andlet the Holy Ghost move, amen.
The first generational giantthat I see here is that one of
materialism.
There's a giant that isattacking us in the area of
(15:02):
materialism.
Oh, yes, you see yourgeneration.
Young people have been toldthat you can have the best of
everything.
As a matter of fact, youdeserve it.
Amen.
You deserve the best.
Nothing less than the best willdo.
It starts with our clothes Amen.
We've got to have the best.
Nothing less than the best willdo.
It starts with our clothes Amen, we've got to have the best.
(15:24):
It goes all the way down to ourshoes Amen.
It goes over to everyelectronic gadget Amen.
It moves into every realm ofentertainment.
You deserve the best.
If you want it, you get it.
If it's your pleasure, have it.
If it's your want, go get it.
If it's your desire, amen.
(15:44):
Get it on the credit card ifyou have to, but get it at all
costs, amen.
And then, as young people getolder, it moves over into cars
and houses, and then they wantboats, and then they want
everything else Amen.
It's a spirit of materialism.
Amen, you deserve it.
We live in an entitlementsociety where everybody feels
(16:09):
like they deserve what they want.
Now you listen to this preacher.
There is no sin in dressingnice.
As a matter of fact, I believeyou ought to look as nice as you
can, amen.
Soap doesn't cost much andshampoo doesn't cost much, and
deodorant would work and atoothbrush would be great.
Boys, amen.
(16:30):
I tell you, it doesn't hurt foryou to look as good as you can.
You ought to dress as nice asyou can when you go to the house
of God, amen, you ought todress as nice as you can.
When you go to the house of God, amen, you ought to wear your
best.
I said you ought to wear yourbest.
You ought not come in lookinglike you just crawled out of bed
, amen, you ought not come inlooking like you just played a
ball game or you've beensleeping with the dogs.
(16:52):
I tell you you ought to come inlooking right.
There's no sin in dressing nice, no sin in having nice clothes.
I believe you ought to have anice car.
I believe you ought to have agood house, hey.
But when the spirit ofmaterialism gets a hold on your
heart, you allow your prioritiesto get out of line and the
(17:13):
things of this life becomeprioritized above the things of
God.
Hey, friend, if you're in thatposition, you're allowing the
giant of materialism to destroyyou, and you need to go to
battle with that thing and get avictory over the giant of
materialism.
Hey, do you hear the preacherright now?
(17:34):
I tell you you ought not worryabout even what you look like,
so much as what your soul lookslike.
Amen, you ought to worry abouteven what you look like so much
as what your soul looks like.
Even you ought to worry abouteven putting God first.
Even see thee first.
The kingdom of God and Hisrighteousness and all these
other things shall be added untoyou.
(17:55):
Oh, amen.
There are two places.
Help me, holy Ghost.
There are two places inscripture that deal with our
choice between God and money.
In Matthew, chapter number 6,and in Luke, chapter number 16.
He deals with these two things.
In Matthew, he deals withlaying your treasure up In
(18:18):
heaven and not on earth andsaysek God first.
In Luke, he deals with the factthat you cannot serve two
masters.
You must choose either God ormoney.
And then he begins to deal withadultery and finally goes
straight to the story of a richman going to hell.
(18:40):
The inference is obvious If youallow materialism to get a hold
of you, it will affect yourmorals and it will take you to
hell.
Amen, I tell you right now.
It is the same spirit thatcauses you to go after
materialism that will cause youto be immoral.
Do you hear what I just said?
(19:01):
It is the same spirit thatcauses you to go after
materialism that will lead youto immorality.
That's why the Holy Ghost spokeabout it in Luke and he said if
you want materialism, even thenext step is immorality and the
next step is hell.
I tell you, my friend, it isdangerous to let the giant of
(19:23):
materialism get a hold of yourheart.
You've got to turn your back onthe pleasure of the world and
put your priorities right.
I tell you, seek God first andGod will take care of you.
God will give you the job youneed.
God will give you the house youneed.
God will take care of you.
God will give you the job youneed.
God will give you the house youneed.
God will take care of it.
Young people, even put youraffection on things above, not
(19:46):
on things of this world.
You've got to put youraffection on a higher plane.
Even notice what it said.
Set your affection Even.
That means to pick it up andplace it there.
You cannot let the worlddictate when your affection is,
but you've got to place them Ona higher power, place them on a
(20:06):
higher plane, place them on thepower of God, put your
priorities Even toward God.
Amen, amen.
Not only is there a giant that'saffecting our materialism, but
there is a giant that isattacking our minds.
(20:27):
Help me, holy Ghost, there hasbeen an attack on the minds of
our youth.
This giant has tried to twistand corrupt their minds.
You see, the mind is the firstbattlefield in our Christian
walk.
The devil knows if I can get avictory in their mind, it won't
(20:51):
be long and I'll be in theirdaily life.
And so he tries to gain accessto your mind.
How does he do that?
He tries to gain access throughyour eyes what you see.
He tries to gain access throughyour ears, through a hurt
feeling, through a broken heart.
He tries to gain through afailure of the past or a fear of
(21:11):
the present, or even thefutility of the future.
He tries to gain access andwork on your mind.
Oh, satan will bring depression, he will bring a darkness upon
you.
He'll tell you that God doesn'tcare.
He'll tell you your churchdoesn't really care.
He'll tell you your pastor's anold fogey and he'll try to work
(21:32):
his way in your mind.
And Satan will torment andtorture you in your mind until
you're ready to give up.
He'll tell you there's no hope.
Hey, did you come in here todayand your mind is in turmoil and
you'd like to get help.
But you wonder if you can.
Hey, is your mind under attackfrom the powers of hell?
(21:54):
Is the enemy talking in yourmind?
No-transcript.
