Facing Giants

 Numbers 12-13; Psalms 90; Mark 2  

“’But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.’”

Number 13:28

“Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them…’Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’?’”

Mark 2:3, 9

The Anakite descendants in Hebron were giants, the offspring of the Nephilim, and feared by all who knew them. They were demonically strong and intimidating.

What giants oppose the purposes of God today?

Jesus faced impossible illnesses, and more importantly, the reality of man’s sinfulness.

Who can face the ‘strongmen’ of sin and disease?

Jesus overcame both. He forgave the sins of the paralytic man and healed his body, transforming his life and his eternity.

What giants are we facing this day?

What word is Jesus speaking into our situation in light of his victory over sin and death?

“Lord Jesus, you are my Savior, Healer, and Deliverer. Thank you for freedom from the giants of fear, sin, and death. Thank you for the power of the Gospel and your empowerment to be a freedom-fighter this day with you, for your glory.”
