The Giants

May 5, 2025 Shelly Wilson

There is a moment of anticipation as you plan to step into your promised land. The long awaited space and place your heart has desired for so long. The terrain you have already plowed in prayer for years.

Then suddenly you find yourself facing a heinous resistance. A giant the size of Goliath meets you at the door of your destiny.

What now is there to do but fight?

Slowly you decide to draw your sword and the battle rages not for minutes but for hours. Those hours turn into days and months and you find yourself weary of the war.

As one giant falls others rise and an entire army of squatters attempt to push you back off the property God has already given you.

Here, friend, comes a crisis of faith.

Somehow you expected to walk right on in uncontested. What a mistake of the mind. For this is the place of your greatest battle yet.

But if you listen closely you’ll hear the Spirit of God speak, “I have given you every place your footsteps…”

This is the battle of all battles and you will be pushed to the point of exhaustion. Challenged to the point of tears. Marred past any recognition of who you once were.

And this, too, is the point. For you are finally stepping into who you were meant to be in Christ Jesus.

For this is a Potter’s wheel, historical moment. Heaven’s gaze is upon you and the King has hedged a bet “for” you while the devil has bet “against” you.

“Consider Job…”

One trial after another comes. One battle “here” and one battle “there.”

In between you must learn to “take a knee” and catch your breath. Jesus is with you. Get some rest.

You’re about to face your greatest fears. But Christ has already planned a way of escape.

The giants of anxiety will now bow to Jesus.

The giants of depression will flee at the name of Jesus.

Every assignment sent to delay and derail you will now be cancelled and every witchcraft devil will fall as the blood speaks a better word over you.

You will now see who exactly Jesus is in you. How He carries you through the wilderness, how He provides at times invisible shields between you and the enemy, and how sometimes He whispers, “Slay the Giant, baby girl, I’ve given you all you need for this hour.”

You’ll have moments of despair because your soul is so tired and you’ll beg God for it all to stop. Yet, He smiles gently and says, “You are more than a conqueror…”

Tears might fall on your shield of faith as you run towards yet another giant but when you glance over your shoulder you’ll suddenly realize how much you’ve advanced onto that kingdom land of yours.

In that moment Holy Ghost fire is lit in your belly as God renews your strength and one giant after another falls with a greater ease.

As you look up ready for the next battle, you hear the voice of the Lord proclaim a passage of scripture you’ve not thought of in a while…

Then Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid! Take your stand [be firm and confident and undismayed] and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for those Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again.

Exodus 14:13 (AMP)

With that word comes a holy hush. You didn’t realize that this was the very valley of trouble that led to your door of hope. The very gateway into God’s greater.
