Mighty warrior overcomer


This song is my favorite from this album. He has sung it for Promise Keepers but I believe this song can be also applied to women. We are one as the body of Christ. I love this song and I’m adding the (Dennis Speaks) before it. Enjoy :O)
From “Giant Killer: A Heart Like David” album
Life is full of giants. Temptations assail the flesh, strongholds seem to overwhelm us to the point it seems easier sometimes to give up to those giants. Sin abounds but giants can be defeated. David faced Goliath whose name literally means “naked and ashamed” and my own sin has left me feeling that way, naked and ashamed and so bound by that shame, that I was afraid to get honest. David though didn’t just face Goliath, he and his mighty men faced four more giants according to God’s word, but even they were all defeated. I faced many giants that left me feeling like there was no hope. Some might call their giants, strongholds. Some call them thorns in the flesh or even constant temptation, but what I discovered is that giants are more easily put down when we face them with the proper stones just as David did. Before any stones I casted could be effective I had to understand some things about my own identity. I had to come to terms with the fact that my particular sin was not the issue. Getting to the root of that sin was the only way to cut off that giant’s head. I first had to understand I had based everything I believe about myself upon a lie. That lie: I am rejected. Now if I believe I'm rejected, then I'll begin to give place to feelings of rejection and as I dwell on those feelings I begin to act like one who's rejected. So how do I defeat that giant? I put off that lie I am rejected and I believe I am accepted by my father no matter what. It's like casting a stone of God's truth at the giant of rejection. I then begin to base everything I believe about myself upon that truth. Feelings of rejection are then replaced by feelings of acceptance and those feelings of acceptance, guess what? They begin to led me to act like one who is accepted. Quite simply, I cast that stone of truth and then walk in that truth and in so doing I cut off the head of that giant. Now there will always be giants but now I know how to deal with them. I am who my father says I am and I am a GIANT KILLER!

Might Man
Dennis Jernigan

Let no temptation define who you'll be
No present feeling
No past failures, you're redeemed
No weapon formed against you
Can ever reach as far
As the depth that I've redeemed you
Just be who the Father says you are
And just because a battle
Seems never to end
It doesn't mean you losing
Just means you've something to defend
And child you must remember
Who you are called to be
A mighty man of valor
No matter what
You have the victory
Take up the stone of faith
And put that giant down
Take up the sword of the Spirit
Take back that stolen ground
And lift your praise to the Father
Who gives you victory
You are a mighty man of valor
A child of God, victorious, redeemed
Knowing Christ is worth the battle
That is waged against your mind
With each giant you've defeated,
It seems four more come right behind
So fight the fight and do not waver
And warrior run the race
Mighty warrior overcomer
You win this fight by trusting in His grace
Take up the stone of faith
And put that giant down
Take up the sword of the Spirit
Take back that stolen ground
And lift your praise to the Father
Who gives you victory
You are a mighty man of valor
A child of God, victorious, redeemed
Just because you fall
You're not defeated
Never sound retreat
Get back up and lift the standard
Of the overcoming king
Don't give up though you grow weary
By His grace rise up again
For the truth is when the dust of war
is cleared away, we win
Take up that stone of faith
And put that giant down
Take up the sword of the Spirit
Take back that stolen ground
And lift your praise to the Father
Who gives you victory
You are a mighty man of valor
A child of God, victorious, redeemed
You are a mighty man of valor
A child of God, victorious, redeemed
Revelation 21:7 "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son."
