2 Samuel 21:15-22 Philistine Giants Destroyed
  
15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint. 16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant. 19 Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant. 21 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

1. We don't lose our value by losing an ability.  (v. 17)
2. We should expect the enemy to be continually on the attack.
                 Judges 3:2    2 (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),
   
   God left enemies so they would understand conflict.  God sues conflict to teach us.
3. We should be alrt that the enemy attacks us when we are weak.
        
   1. physically tired
   2. emotionally, discouraged, etc.
   3. spiritually
4. We should  be alert to an old enemy with a new weapon.
         - the devil will use anything.
5. We need the help of others in the battle.
6. We need to develop the power of a Godly Influence.  (v. 18)
         - train others in the work so when we can't carry on, others can step in.

We face spiritual warfare.  We have to train & nurture the next generation.
