The Giant of Defiance: Part 3 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

In PART THREE of this message we answer these questions. * How do I defeat the Giant of Defiance? * How do I keep a defiant spirit or attitude from rearing its head in my life? We find some important principles for keeping defiance at bay by looking at something that Samuel said to the Lord. * 1 Samuel 3:9-10... Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, “Speak; for thy servant heareth.” There are three important areas that provide important insights for defeating the Giant of Defiance. This is what we address in this message. * Area One: The Lordship of God is Recognized.... "Speak" Because the Lord is the Master of our lives, we should do five important things. * Area Two: A Lowly Spirit is Acknowledged.... "Thy Servant" Because we are servants, we are to put into practice several important principles. We talk about three. * Area Three: Listen to the Lord for His Direction... "Heareth" In listening to the Lord and hearing what He has to say, there are six things we can implement in our lives. We talk about them. The principles covered in the message will help you immensely to conquer the Giant of Defiance in your life. This message was preached on Wednesday night September 17, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
