Did David Kill Goliath With A Stone?

1st Samuel chapter 17 tells an amazing and fascinating story of king David and Goliath.  Goliath was a Philistine, a 10 feet tall giant, a man of war...while David was a 17 years shepherd boy. Goliath was completely covered with his battle armor while David had only a sling and a stone as his weapon, both ready for battle. However, David miraculously killed Goliath the giant with the first shot from his sling. It is interesting to note that the giant was already dead spiritually before David's stone got to his forehead. This is because David prophesied his death, he already saw how he will die and he described what will happen to the giant afterward...hear him "Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's , and he will give you into our hands."...1 Samuel 17:45-47.

David before now was already anointed to be king of Israel, and he was also a prophet, so his words were anointed and full of God's power. God honored his words. Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?"
Do you know as children of God we also are kings and our words are equally powerful?  Revelation 1:5-6, "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."  God wants us to take charge and make confessions that will always change our lives for His glory.  So if you are a child of God, you are a king and you better watch what you because it will definitely come to pass.  Job 22:28, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee."  This is quite exciting, it means we can use our tongues to talk our ways to the top  "...for God had said...so we may boldly say"...Hebrews 13 v 5-6. God bless you.
