Giants Modus Operandi #32: They trick you into rebellion so that you dance with witchcraft.
King Saul is a perfect example in the Bible of rebellion towards God in 1 Samuel 13-15. He was an impatient man who cared way too much about what people thought of him. He was more concerned with outward perceptions than his inward relationship with God. And he made it clear when he decided to… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #31: They remind you of past/sins to trap you into a cycle of repentance.
I don’t know if you have ever faced this giant, but I certainly have. When I first came back to the Lord, I felt so guilty for all I had done and the ways I strayed that I stayed in a cycle of repentance. Anytime something I had done came to mind, that hurt myself… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #30: They cause you to doubt the skills, abilities, and gifts that God has given you.
When I was younger (in middle school), I was able to look at something and draw it. I absolutely loved art and wanted to grow up to be a professional artist. It was a passion of mine and one that I tried my best to pursue. Unfortunately, the enemy used people in my life to… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #29: They make you weary in prayer by reminding you of everything that hasn’t been answered yet.
If you have been a follower of Jesus long enough, then you know that some answers to our prayers do not always come right away. Sometimes it takes quite a long time and in that process of time, many of us get weary. Our knees get weak, our minds are attacked, and we become so… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #28: They blindfold you with deception so you can’t see their tactics and schemes.
Have you ever played the game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”? A great kids game that can teach us a lot about spiritual warfare. If you haven’t, let me give a brief overview so you have a picture of what it looks like. A poster of a donkey is posted up somewhere (where the… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #27: They breed disunity and birth discord among God’s people.
The spirit of disunity and discord has been wreaking havoc among God’s people for centuries. We can read accounts of it in the Bible with the Pharisees and Saduccees. Each thought they were right and neither could agree but on one thing…to crucify our Lord Jesus Christ. We see it now with different denominations, different… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #26: They turn friend against friend and family member against family member.
Our society is so divided. Between politics, religion, human rights, etc. there are households that are no longer unified. Families that are being torn apart. Friendships that are falling apart. Marriages that are spiraling. The spirit of divisiveness has been given permission to enter the gates of our homes, cities, counties, states, and countries. Let’s… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #25: They abuse positions of power and authority to intimidate you.
We continue to see exposures of those in positions of power and authority on a mass global scale. The Epstien files have unmasked those who have benefited from the grotesque exploitation of children. People are starting to see what has been hidden for decades come into the light as a wave of unveiling takes place.… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #22: They cause you to question if you really trust God to come through.
When you battle giants of lack, disappointment, discouragement, etc. often times they bring doubt along for the ride. Doubt causes us to question whether or not God will come through for us. Doubt causes us to question whether or not God sees us. Whether or not He is listening to us. It’s okay to ask… Continue reading

Giants Modus Operandi #21: They trick you into being more focused on what you don’t have.
Lack is something that is easily dismissed by some and obsessed over by others. It can infiltrate your whole being. It can rule your finances. It can create wedges in your relationships. In essence, it can rule your life…if you let it. For many years I struggled. Struggled to put food on the table, to… Continue reading
