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

knew that there were truths on those cassettes that could have changed my life and brought us out of poverty, but I couldn’t buy them. My wife had tears in her eyes, and I was about to cry myself. It was a terrible situation. As I stood there, I made a promise. “Lord, if You ever show me something from Your Word that will help another person, I’ll never deny them access to it because of finances.” And I try to keep that promise.
    If we have an entire series of messages, of course we suggest a donation. However, we give it to people regardless of what they can send. If it’s something like twenty or thirty messages in a set, we’ll make the tapes or CDs available to people one at a time, if they will get them that way. We don’t want to hand out tens of thousands of tapes to people who aren’t giving anything, but I try to make my messages available as much as I can. This has worked for me. I have faith for it.
    Yet, I’ve had well known, international ministers come to me and say, “You’re wrong! You need to sell your tapes. You could make a lot more money!” I’m not against other people selling their messages. They can do whatever they want. I don’t think someone isn’t trusting God or that they’re a bad minister if they don’t give their materials away. I’m just saying that this is what has worked for me—and I’m sticking with what works!
    David’s Strength
    You need to become secure in the Lord and hear from Him. You need to have God tell you some things. Then, when He tells you something, don’t let other people talk you out of it. Don’t reason it away by saying, “Well, here’s what God says, but it doesn’t make sense. So I think I’ll go ahead and do it this other way.” You’re getting off onto thin ice when you start doing something like that. You need to follow God and do what He says. That’s where your strength lies.
    David’s strength wasn’t in armor or a sword. It was in trusting God. When Goliath saw him walk out toward him with just a slingshot, he laughed at him. The giant disdained and even cursed him for coming out against him with sticks and stones. Goliath didn’t recognize the power of God.
And he [David] took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.
    1 Samuel 17:40-47; brackets mine
    This is tremendous! Goliath began to rail on and ridicule David. He pointed out his physical weakness, comparatively small size, and lack of a sword. Then he cursed David by his gods. However, neither Goliath, nor Saul, nor the rest of the army knew that David wasn’t just a youth. He was an anointed king. He had the power and anointing of Almighty God on the inside of him.
