GOLIATH IN OUR LIVES? – By Lakshman Navaratne
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:10

1 Samuel 17:11,” And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid”
Reading this scripture reveals to a Pentecostal Christian, with the baptism of the gift of discernment; this is the battle of the light that was separated from darkness on the first day of creation.
The light of men is the Tree of life (Jesus) and the darkness is the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. [B]
At the time of our first parents; further revelation of the gifts offered by Cain and Abel for the atonement for sin of humanity; distinguished the true will of the Almighty father. Only a blood sacrifice is the price for our redemption.
Today, only the Apostolic remnant of true Christianity, with little power remaining in them shall see the return of their redeemer to inherit the new earth promised for humanity!
Revealed to the faithful; our soul does not have a gender, when scripture refers to him or his, it includes every descendent of Adam, and our creator God is our father, and is purely spirit without a gender.
Revelation 3, “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things say He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore, if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
6 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’
From the day we are born to this world, Goliath of the wicked world is threatening us with the death penalty inherited by our ancestors.
The Revelation of Jesus in our lives, is the fulfilment of our redemption from the stronghold of darkness, the power of sin holding us anchored to this world.
Humanity lost the victory over death due to the loss of the ingredient Faith from our lives.
This very ingredient Faith was returned as a free gift, exchanged to the blood of his only beloved son to mankind on the day of Pentecost!
The Jewish Apostles of Christ continued to propagate the powerful work of redemption, until the last Apostle of Christ, John was alive.
Apostle John was given the complete prophesy of the “Chosen generation of mankind” who shall inherit the New Earth.
Revelation 3:7,” “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
We know who David was in the bible?
He was the shepherd boy chosen by our Father, to destroy Goliath; Goliath was a Philistine who threatened the armies of Israel. Though the nation of philistines came from the same blood-line of Abram, redemption project for humanity was scheduled from Jacob the twin brother of Esau.
Esau sold his inheritance to his brother Jacob (Isreal) for the love of the world. From the lineage of Jacob, came the shepherd boy David, whose father was Jesse. Boaz was one of the patriarchs in the line of Judah that would become the lineage of David; “Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed, Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David” (Ruth 4:21), God promised to establish a kingdom that would never end, and send the Messiah.
Ruth was a Moabite, not a Jew, confirming to the faithful: God planned the entire human generations in our first mother Eve.
Today the faithful gentile-church with the Jewish root was the plan of our Maker.
Human soul, have no gender nor race classification. It is the living human blood that connects us to an Almighty Father. No other living creature or vegetation have a soul to return to a Father.
No Jew, Arab, Greek or Gentile is born with the ingredient “Faith” we lost it in the Garden.
The egg that brought Abram to this earth was scheduled in Eve, during the deep sleep of the first human with Blood (A-Dam). [B]
So it was, for every human soul, ability to experience the kingdom of God. [B]
Soul of Abram was renamed Abraham and his wife Sarai was renamed Sarah.
Every human soul has to be reborn with the resurrected blood of Christ to inherit the new earth! [B]
The “Helper” sent upon humanity on the day of Pentecost is the Spirit of Jesus, whose blood was lineage to David. [B]
How did David kill this Giant? The polished (Sanctified) stone from the waters of salvation (river of life) was the action of the Spirit of God.
1 Samuel 17: 40, “then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine. 41 So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”
48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.
Our heart transplant [A]
When Jesus died on that cross, his blood was shed and his human existence was over.
Yet his bones and blood did not see decay? [A]
When we accept him as our Savior, the resurrected blood of Jesus begins to operate in our lives, cleansing, sanctifying our hearts, preparing our lives for that great day of his return.
Like the servant David who overcame Goliath with the polished stones picked up from the river of life, and storing in his pouch (Heart), is the foreshadow of our purification of our thoughts through the action of the “Helper” sent upon us on the day of Pentecost. [B]
With our hearts filled with the spirit of Pentecost, the spirit of Jesus living in our hearts, our lips can deliver the most powerful missile- Prayer filled with Grace to annihilate the threats from Goliath (prince of this world).
Abram was the human soul, chosen by the God of Hebrew, to bring back the “Faith” we lost in the Garden. The Apostles of Christ were taught the only prayer (Our Father), needed to call upon the Almighty Father of Creation and Redemption of Humanity!
This father is purely Spirit, and Jesus explains to the Samaritan woman (Gentile Church) in the Gospel according to the Apostle John 4:” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
All sixty-six books of the Bible refer to the God of Hebrew, arrived on earth as the Prince of Peace (Holy one of Israel)
PRINCE OF PEACE
WAY OF CHRIST (The Narrow Path)
4 billion humans alive on this earth, operating in the name of Christ, will comprehend the imagination of the writer’s precept of the “Prince of Peace”.
Nobody is a Christian, unless one has received the Baptism of Pentecost! [A]
This is the same Baptism, Jesus born of Mary, received at the age of 30 at the banks of the river Jordon, while been immersed in the water.
The baptism of repentance, through John the Baptist, Baptism of the Spirit through the Maker of Humanity.
Only scripture have the truth written in letter, reason why we have to Die?
Only Scripture says we were made in the image of our Maker, our Maker is Eternal and so are we, should also be eternal?
The wisdom of the Scripture documents “wage of Sin is death”.
Since Adam losing the ingredient “Faith” in the Garden where he was placed, our Maker returned the gift of Faith to all mankind, through the Prince of Peace, just 2000 years to date on the day of Pentecost.
So, throughout humanity was the operation of the “Prince of Darkness”, documented in scripture as “Violence in the heart of man”.
700 years before the arrival of the holy one of Israel; Isaiah 53, documents the prophesy given to the nation of Israel; “Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9 And they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors.”
2000 years ago, Creator of humanity placed a human body in a manger, in the little town of Bethlehem.
Bible documents, on the sixth day of creation, Creator of humanity placed Adam, made with his own hands to be His dwelling on paradise Earth.
The bible does not document; how long Adam was put to sleep, making our first Mother Eve?
Recorded in scripture through a servant Moses, 4000 years before the arrival of this promised redeemer for mankind, another human kind was reconstructed from the Bone of Adam.
To the faithful with the Baptism of Pentecost; a generation of souls, comprised of all nations became the resurrected body of Christ.
Jesus said to his Apostles Matthew 26; 28, “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
So, today this living body is still alive on earth!
The Bible documents; the will and the purpose for this construction of a partner for Adam were to procreate His very own Likeness (Maker), in a Kingdom to rest from all the work of creation.
Reveals to a Christian, through the Baptism f Pentecost; Adam was an eternal being, until snared by the Darkness separated on the First day of the Creation process. [B]
The first five (5) books of the Bible, written in Hebrew mother-tongue, records the full creation and the Redemption process of the Universe, a proto-type of the redemption plan (Exodus) and the final Resting place of the Omnipotent Spirit.
The last 27 books of the Bible, also written by Hebrew servants of the Most-High Spirit, records the End and the fulfillment of the promise for Humanity.
This shall be the Rapture of the Faithful to the Maker of Life!
Today on earth; “Blind leading the Blind” is the only true-fitting expression
My Christianity began with the light that was separated from darkness by an Omnipotent, Omniscient and omnipresent Creator before the worlds were framed, recorded in the first book of scripture. Genesis 1:4, “God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.”
Prophesized in the scripture, today we are living the last period of Spiritual Grace that was poured upon all humanity since the day of Pentecost on 33 AD, this very light came down again in the form of trumpet sounds on humanity.
Matthew 24:24-31, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Today year 2025 AD, the prophesy of Scripture reveals to the faithful, three trumpets have already sounded and the fourth out of seven is about to be sounded on all humanity. This shall be the time “soon” documented in the book of Revelation 8:12, “Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night”.
Those who read study and reason scripture will miss this moment of “soon” as to those who lived the scripture through grace on earth.
“Spiritual Grace” is the substance of faith in the Scripture, we humans who have embraced as the truth, entertaining in our hearts. Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
The Creator of life initiated this project of Redemption before He placed himself on planet earth to rest from all His work of creation.
Spiritual rest does not apply to the non-living.
The scripture promises a rest for the heavily burdened of humanity.
For humanity it is a pilgrimage to Paradise from a dungeon.
The Bible is the written account of His work of Creation and Redemption of mankind re-grouped as his own living body of souls, into a new resting place (New earth) Revelation 21:1-4,” Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also, there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
RIVER OF LIVING WATER
To the faithful of the Creator, it is a “River of Living waters” that is flowing from Revelation to Genesis flowing from the throne of the Creator of Humanity.
Scripture uses the word Eternal for matter made of spirit and mortal for matter made of dust.
So, Adam our first parent was made of dust, made eternal with the breath of our Creator.
When Adam disobeyed the command of our Creator, grace was lost from humanity. The project “Jesus” reinstated humanity back to grace.
Christianity shall end when the promise of scripture is fulfilled with the Rapture of the Faithful church as documented in scripture. Song of Solomon 4:6, “I opened for my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart leaped up when he spoke.
I sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer”
This is the period of “Grace” for humanity documented as the written word.
This is the new beginning for any human who shall be born of the spirit of Pentecost, able to exercise grace through faith, any moment of their life, documented as our process of “Salvation” through the word in the scripture.
The matter (substance) or Faith begins with the Hebrew word “Bethlehem”. The house of bread.
Everything that took place from the first human with a soul to the last man to be born before the day of the rapture of the Church is documented and sealed as the 66 books of scripture.
There are two groups of humans, faithful and the unfaithful to their Maker.
All the issues of the world including the fear of getting extinct is only applicable to the unfaithful group of the human population.
Definition of the Faithful:
The faithful is led by the Spirit of Redemption that came down on humanity on the day of Pentecost.
This is the Spirit of Scripture alive in the 66 books of the Bible.
This is the “spiritual food” for the re-born.
Yet, every human soul shall have the opportunity to taste the unconditional love of our Maker.
What happened in Bethlehem was an event in the human history, the prophesy of the birth of the redeemer for mankind, promised in scripture since humanity lost the Holy Spirit. The birth of the second Adam who would be the perfect obedience to the Maker of humanity.
The maker of humanity is spirit; the spirit of Redemption of humanity is “Grace” the part of the spirit operating in scripture as the “Holy Spirit”.
The spirit of the Adversary of our soul is also spirit; scripture documents them as the “fallen angels” that rebelled with the Creator of life, ultimately ending down on earth before man was placed in the “Paradise earth”.
The scripture is crystal clear of the Creation of Man; man is the only living thing made in the image of the Maker. His breath was blown into the nostrils of first man on earth. This makes man as the extension of the Maker Himself.
Scripture documents this new and perpetual entity in man as the “soul”.
All other living has spirit. They are pure spirits; operate freely as they were created on paradise earth.
So, animal blood is purer than the unforgiving human.
Human was the last creation of the Creator, made of elements of the earth (dust). The common organ to all other creations was the “Blood”.
So, no other living on earth has a soul. The soul is where our human spirit has permitted other operating spirits to occupy and operates on earth.
Scripture documents the adversary of our soul as “darkness”.
So, the Light of men documented in scripture is the “Holy Spirit” and the Adversary our soul is the darkness.
The scripture documents that the life of a creature is in the “Blood.
From the beginning of humanity on Paradise earth, Creator Himself was the occupant of our soul until the Adversary was permitted to occupy our soul.
This was the sin of Disobedience that led humanity to the grave.
So, from this phrase in the scripture we are certain that the spirit operates in the Blood of man.
Oxygen is the living element that prolongs life on the earth, while grace is the element that operates in the heavenly realm of the planet earth.
This is when; science and scripture segregate from absolute truth to relative truth.
Elements that make up matter is a transformation of energy state. Science can logically explain transformation of elements. Even though our human eye cannot visibly see the operation of elements on planet earth.
Christianity is all about grace that lives.
Earthly matter and Spiritual matter are not void or a vacuum. Scripture testifies that a human must be born again to belong to the Kingdom of the Creator.
When a human is born-again as a “Christian”, the human blood that carries oxygen to all living cells of our earthly body is now equipped to carry “Redeeming grace” that was lost from humanity 6000 years ago.
If the blood is flowing, the spirit of grace is alive. The sign of death is when the flow of blood ceases to flow.
The spirit of life on Paradise earth has three kingdoms; plants and animals make up the largest portion of the paradise earth. Then comes the Kingdom of the faithful and finally the kingdom of the unfaithful.
Anything that has life is spirit; life on earth is spirit operating as matter.
Matter is the truth and what we are substantially made of:
Truth is forever, those who are now redeemed shall live forever in the kingdom prepared for them by our maker.
The birth place of the Redeemer of mankind was announced to humanity through prophets.
For humanity it is just a written letter by another human who heard the voice of the Spirit of Redemption and wrote or sketched on a material what he heard in his own language using another piece of material as the instrument (pen).
Today we read this as word translated from Hebrew to English.
For a redeemed Christian the letter we read is heard in our heart as “Revelation” and is the living voice with the same and identical wave length of energy written in the Bible as the word “Light”.
The first words of the Bible say “Light was made and God separated the light from darkness. So, whatever God separated was Holy and the opposition was un-holy.
The faithful of the Creator calls it the Truth and what was left is the Lie.
God said to Adam to feed from any tree in the garden but not from the tree of knowledge in the middle of the garden, the day you eat from that tree “you shall die”.
So, everything God made on earth was pure and holy, only the tree of knowledge was un-holy.
Today when we read the word light, we refer to the light from the sun which is 150 million kilometers away from the earth and its temperatures thousands of times hotter than our readings on earth.
This information we read on the internet and is possible only through human entries. Again, we read the Bible written through the hands of 40 human individuals who heard the voice of one single Author throughout a period of approximately 2000 years. This will be the voice of the author of life in Moses who wrote the first 5 books of the bible and in Apostle John who wrote the last book of the Bible “Revelation”.
The Hebrew language, the scripture was written, disappeared from the nation of Hebrews when the Jews were Hellenized by the Greeks just about 500 years before the arrival of Christ on earth.
The generation of Hebrews living at the time of Christ on earth spoke and read Greek version of scripture that devoid of Revelation but only the letter. The fig tree that had no fruit at the time of Jesus is revealed to us as the nation of Israel. This tree is beginning to bud again. The nation of Israel formed through a British mandate in 1948; today, Hebrew language is once again becoming an operating language among the Jewish nation. Still the scripture they read is only letter and without revelation.
Only those who have embraced the grace delivered through the death and resurrection of Emmanuel, God with us in Hebrew are living the commands received into their hearts as the Spirit of risen Christ.
Most recent polls taken in Israel, only one fifth of Hebrews believe in Christ.
So, the faithful of Christ is 90% gentile and shall inherit the promise of the Bible.
This information of the time-line for humanity was defined very clearly by Sir Isaac Newton, pioneer of scientific revolution in the sixteenth century who studied Hebrew as his passion.
Redemption is for those the Creator of mankind has predestined from eternity.
Redemption process begins the day a human lays eyes and embraces the living Spirit of the Bible.
Who was Moses?
Moses was a human recruited by the Holy Spirit to redeem the nation of Israel from the hands of the Pharos of Egypt.
After serving the Spirit of redemption, Moses died at mount Nebo at the age 120.
Moses was called to serve at the age of 40, he was trained for another 40 years and finally served the Spirit of Redemption for the final 40 years.
Before he died, he wrote down every detail spoken to him by the Spirit of redemption. During the last 40 years of his life, he carried a staff. This staff was a living tool in his hands and was used at the command of the redeeming Spirit.
The most advanced tool of science that provides information of the smallest particle of light is obsolete technology to the tool Moses carried in his hand that measured Spiritual matter (Light of men).
In space-time technology, the rod Moses carried makes all human technology obsolete and redundant. Carbon dating and half-life of elemental radiation and space-time understanding of energy was child- play for Adam before his fall.
Scripture confirms that humans are forever unlike all other life on earth.
Scripture reveals to the faithful, the light that was separated from darkness is the “Holy Spirit” the Breath of our Creator.
Jesus said to his Disciples: Matthew 26: 24,” Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
This is the Gate and the narrow path, the nation of Hebrews did not comprehend!
THIS IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE, OUR CREATOR, MAKER AND REDEEMER PERFORMED ON MY LIFE! [A]
