Editor’s Letter Slay the Giant! What do you do when you’re facing a giant—something or someone so big that it appears there’s no way, or nothing that can defeat it? I considered that question recently while recalling the past 17 months how our nation, and others, have endured and pressed to overcome the dreaded COVID pandemic. For sure, COVID has left its scar. But, as believers, we knew from the beginning, as we know now, that in time that giant would be slain. Our hope in every situation, no matter how big or encompassing, rests with our faith in God. He is always the key, and the Source of our victory in every difficulty or hardship we face. Mark Barclay, one of the guest contributors in this month’s issue, makes that point in his article, “Facing Giants” (see page 9), where he says we are soldiers of the Cross, covered by the blood and filled with the Holy Ghost. He writes: “We’re called to face any giant, to rise up and be strong in the Lord as deputies of God…. As you serve the Lord, you’ll encounter giants—people and situations that will threaten your life, try to hurt you, mess with your body, attack your money, threaten your family, invade your congregation. Every one of them is bent on stopping you from doing what God has called you to do. To survive, you must be so washed by the Word of God that you can’t be distracted or defeated.” I encourage you to read Mark’s article. You will also be glad you took the time to read Kenneth Copeland’s article, “Gateway to the Supernatural,” and one by Gloria Copeland titled, “Better Than a Miracle,” as well as other features this month. A year ago, I shared with you how excited I was back in August 1997, when I attended my first Southwest Believers’ Convention in person, just two months after moving to Fort Worth from North Carolina to work for Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Every year since then, I’ve gotten that same feeling of excitement and anticipation as Southwest approaches—looking to be blessed by the preaching, teaching and fellowship that happens during those six days. This year is no different. I’m saddled up and ready to go, and I hope you are as well. I’m looking forward to seeing you there! Ronald C.
