How many giants call you slay with one stone?

I thought the giant I was to slay was a major technical difficulty I was experiencing before my 1:15 breakout session at She Speaks. As me and two friends said “Amen” in the prayer room, one of our Techno Geniuses, Wayne walked with the green light on the problem. Giant one, down for the count.

“The techno problem must not have been my giant,” I said to my roomie Wendy, after I told her of the giant that escaped from captivity through my mouth after the Saturday evening message. (Jealousy-read my previous post.) So now we have two giants down for the count with one rock. Little did I know that I would face yet another giant Tuesday afternoon.

I got the call around 4:00. The diagnosis: cancer. Not me, my dad. The word still stuns me. Many thoughts ran through my mind. One, call Christie, the bestest friend in the world. So I did. No answer. I moved quickly to my closet and fell to my knees to pray. The second thought: call 704-849-2270. (That is number for the Proverbs office-the home of my second family.) I could only get a few words out when I spoke LeAnn. I asked her to call the family (our office staff) in to pray. Because I have been involved in one of these amazing, Spirit driven, God ordained sessions, I knew what was going to happen.

These incredible women of faith gathered and interceded on my behalf, while I knelt in my closet where I had made the call earlier, I waited. I waited for the overwhelming Jesus tinkles of peace. You have probably experienced them before. I was not leaving until I had them. It was only moments later I had the strength to move and the peace to leave. The Peace has stayed with me. He (the Peace) has not left my side.

Tonight as I was cleaning the supper dishes I asked the Lord, “How many giants can I kill with the one rock?” This was His precious reply to my heart, “I am your Rock. The only one your need. I am enough to slay all your giants.” Of course there is a word to back that up: ” He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” (Psalm 62:2)

I don’t write this to plead for help suggestions on dealing with cancer or for you to feel sorry for me. I had to write. I was compelled by the Spirit to share. David gathered 5 stones. (I am not sure the significance of 5- I will have to look that up later.) But it only took one rock to slay the giant. The giant that was HUGE and overshadowed him. If you are facing a giant, you only need one rock, The Rock. He is enough. He is sufficient. He is your fortress and you, though weary for the battle, will NOT be shaken!

Praise you Jesus!!!! I love you so!!! My Prince of Peace!!!
