Jeremy Johnson - Can You Handle God's No

It's exciting when God says "yes." But what about when God says "no?" What happens when God says no to pursuing a job you've been wanting? How do you respond when God says no to the relationship you've wanted to have with that guy/girl you found attractive? Do you respond in anger or obedience? Do you respond in bitterness or joy?
Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives into the life and private anointing of David. He uses the early life of David to explain that we are anointed as children of God. We have a high call on our life, but just because people don't see it doesn't mean it's not the truth. We are anointed as kings and queens, therefore we must protect the kingdom we have been given to rule over. Whether it be our home, our kids, our spouse, etc., we are called to steward our anointing, even when people don't see it.
In stewarding your kingdom, giants will come. In these moments, we turn to God and ask Him how we can defeat the giants we face. It's in these moments where God will sometimes suggest a new strategy as opposed to something you've already tried. How will you handle the "new thing" that God wants to do? Can you handle going through the roughness of a storm, or the thicket of the poplar trees, if it meant that victory was on the other side?
