Free Lessons from David: How to Be a Giant Killer by Andrew Wommack

expenses. In 2013, our budget was $3 million per month, and this amount will only increase in the future. I couldn’t do this had I not been faithful and believed God for those smaller things.
    This is a tremendous principle that you need to grab hold of. You can’t prepare any better for the future than by just starting to be faithful today. Make a decision today that you are going to start believing God, walking in joy, choosing to do the right thing, controlling your emotions, studying the Word, and blessing other people. Choose to spend time with God, even if there’s nothing pressing. Just do it to be a faithful servant. Faithfully serve other people. Serve your boss today. Do things with integrity and excellence. If you do this over a period of time and prove yourself faithful, then when the giant comes knocking on your door, you’ll have the ability to stand against him and overcome.
    “The Kingdom Is in Your Hands”
    Right after David testified to Saul about killing the lion and the bear, he boldly declared, “This uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them!”
And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

1 Samuel 17:37
    This was nearly as big a miracle as David killing Goliath. The terms of this contest had already been set forth. If Goliath won, all the Israelites would become the Philistines’ servants. But if an Israelite won, all the Philistines would serve the Israelites. So when Saul said, “Go,” he was basically putting his entire kingdom, the whole nation of Israel, into the hands of this youth whom he had just moments before told, “You don’t stand a chance!”
    Apparently, David’s response to Saul’s previous comments persuaded him that David did stand a chance against the giant. David spoke with such conviction concerning Gods faithfulness when he was faced with both the lion and the bear. He testified of how the Lord had proven Himself and come through for him again and again. There was so much authority and anointing on David’s words that it literally caused the king to place his entire kingdom into his hands. Now that’s a miracle!
    I think Saul recognized the anointing of God on David’s life. Saul had experienced this in his early years. He became a new man (1 Samuel 10:9) and was able to win some impossible battles (1 Samuel 11). I believe Saul was not only putting his faith in David, but also in the power of God that was on David’s life.
    Believe the Word You Speak
    As you mature, people will respond to you. As you recognize your covenant and believe God, as you stand up and speak forth your faith, as you are faithful in the small things and grow, you’ll come to a place where what you say will command respect. When you have absolute faith and confidence in what you’re saying, it will inspire faith and confidence in those who hear you. When you know what you’re talking about because of revelation and experience, not just theory, people will respond to you in ways they don’t respond to others.
    When I minister God’s Word, I speak from my heart. I’m not just rehearsing something I’ve heard someone else say. I share what the Lord has shown me on whatever subject it is. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone preach the things we’ve discussed thus far in this book. These are things I’ve lived. They’re coming out of the lessons God has personally taught me through the life of David.
    People can perceive when you’re ministering God’s Word from your heart. It rings true and gives you credibility in their sight. That’s when they will respond to you. If God has called you to be a leader, you need to apply these truths and become totally convinced of what He’s given you to share. People have come up to me and remarked, “What you say is so convincing. It sounds so strong and overwhelming.” That’s because I am convinced. I believe the Word I teach, with all of my heart. When you believe what you speak with all of your heart, then the people
