Facing our own giants

I love they way Joyce Meyer uses the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt for the Promised Land to explain different levels of spirituality. It really helped me to understand how someone can be saved and still be a mess. Basically she said when we get saved its similar to when the Israelites left Egypt (approximately 3 million). When the Israelites left Egypt, that represents us getting saved by accepting Jesus as our savior, which guarantees our salvation. While in the wilderness the Israelites were up against some great giants keeping them from the Promised Land (Moabites, Hittites, Jebusites). Our own giants are keeping us from our present day Promised Land. These giants are bad attitudites, doubtites, jealousites, selfishites, and so on. We're guaranteed salvation when we accept Jesus as our Savior, but we can’t live the life that God promised us until we shed ourselves of these giants and we can’t do it without God’s help. We just keep going around the mountain in the wilderness until we get it right. If we fail the test we just get to keep taking it. When we pass the test we get to leave the wilderness for the Promised Land. The Promised Land represents a happy more fulfilled life here on earth when we conquer our giants.
I am so thankful for anointed speakers who can put it into words I can understand.
I keep revising this because everytime I read it I seem to be leaving something out.
