have a seat thank you so good to be here
tonight who's excited yeah school
holidays for some of us for others it's
torture but so good that you've come out
tonight and I just want to share
something that's kind of been on my
heart for a little bit and it's funny
because today my first point has been
preached a couple of times already so in
Brazil preach part of it this morning
thank you in in Communion and pastor
been during the service so I really
think it's it's something that God
really wants to communicate to us today
so I'm just going to jump straight in if
you've got your Bibles we're going to go
to the book of first Timothy
first Timothy chapter 1 first Timothy
chapter 1 I promise I'm not going to go
long tonight because if the ice-creams
come out I know none of us want to have
Maxo bond soup
we don't want it Melton and so we want
to have it while it's still good but
first Timothy chapter 1 and I'm going to
read from verse 18 and 19 and this is
the Apostle Paul speaking to his protege
Timothy and he says Timothy my son I am
giving you this command in keeping with
the prophecies once made about you so
that by recalling them you may fight the
battle well holding on to faith and a
good conscience which some have rejected
and so have suffered shipwreck with
regard to the faith Apostle Paul is
phenomenal and only he can use
picturesque language like this he is
he's been mentoring a young pastor by
the name of Timothy encouraging him so
when you read these the books to Timothy
you'll hear things like Timothy God has
not given you a spirit of fear but of
love power and a sound mind Timothy
don't let anyone look down on you
because of your age but set an example
for all believers in life in love in
purity and in speech so he's encouraging
him here in the context is that there
are other leaders that have been
preaching false doctrines and preaching
things falsehoods and fallacies and he's
trying to correct Timothy and he's
saying you've actually got a fight to
declare the right thing because these
people that are trying to introduce
these things that are not the gospel are
they've ended up shipwrecked and you
know what a shipwreck is don't you it's
a vessel that is ineffective and so we
are called vessels the Bible says that
we have this treasure in earthen vessels
and so the Apostle Paul is saying look
you need to fight so that this doesn't
happen to you or anyone that you are
leading because you will either run
aground or you will sink to the bottom
either way you will be ineffective you
will become like a cautionary tale of
how not to live the Christian life and
so it sits with this thought that I
really want to look at this subject of
fight see I don't even know the title of
my message
the fight of your life the fight of your
life because there are certain things
that are actually worth fighting for
there are certain things that are
actually worth fighting for and one of
them is your faith one of them is your
faith you know we we know that Jesus won
the victory for us we we know that but
there are certain things that we must
contend with we must fight otherwise
those things will shipwreck us amen so
why don't you pray with me and we'll get
stuck into it father I thank you for
your word I thank you Lord God that
tonight you'll not just bring revelation
but transformation speak to us Holy
Spirit give us receptive hearts clean
keen minds Lord God to hear what you
were saying and I just thank you Lord
God that everyone who hears your word
tonight Lord God that the seed will fall
on good soil and it will change them
forever and we would ask this in Jesus
name in Jesus name when I was 11 years
old something happened to me that was
probably the peak of
my life up until then but looking back
now I can say that beyond becoming a
Christian accepting Jesus getting
married to Michelle and having our two
kids this is probably the next thing
that's right up there in my top five and
it happened just one ordinary Saturday
afternoon I was 11 years old I was at
home I had a bit of downtime I've done
all my chores and I'm sitting in the
lounge room watching TV when all of a
sudden there's a beep a car horn outside
and I have a look at the through the
window and I recognize it's my auntie's
car that has just driven down our
driveway and I thought are cool it's my
art and she gets out but then all of a
sudden my heart stopped when out of the
passenger side stepped this mammoth
human being that I had only ever seen on
TV he was a wrestler and he went by the
name of king tonga our Tongan and and he
was so this is this is the late 80s when
it was the WWF the World Wrestling
Federation and I was right into this
after watching WrestleMania one with
Hulk Hogan and mr. t and I could not
believe my eyes
that this guy was in my driveway and I
was in shock and I watched as he slowly
made his way up our stairs filled the
doorframe I've never seen our doorframe
filled that way and he looked at me and
he shook my hand and he is a Tongan
thing he gave me a kiss and I was in
shock it turns out that the WWF were
touring all around Australia and and and
this is so funny because Saturday
afternoons I used to watch wrestling on
wild world of sports and every now and
then I'd be watching something and this
guy king tonga he would be wrestling and
my mum would walk past and she would say
oh you know that's my cousin and I said
yeah right now you know it's all
Islander thing we're all cousins yeah
Kazi bro yeah yeah
yes you're mark yeah good idea that's
that's awesome well it turns out that it
really is and so he's not only turned up
at our house but he's got tickets for us
to accompany him to Festival Hall in
Brisbane
sit ringside and watch him take on the
Magnificent Muraco this other man
mountain so it is like the best day it
is like the best day of my life and I
get ready and and I find out that we're
actually going to me and my dad are
actually going to be driving him to
festival hall so my dad's sitting
driving he's just filled
he's just filled that the passenger side
it's like seeing an adult said in a a
chair from the prep classroom you know
you know what I mean just and he's
sitting there and my dad I don't know
what he was thinking but he drives and
he pulls up right in front of Festival
Hall there are thousands of people there
and he just stops there and we've got to
get out and then king tonga he puts me
in front of him like I'm his security
I'm 11 years old I'm like about this big
and we walk and it's like Moses parting
the Red Sea
everyone and we just walked through I
take my seat he goes and gets ready and
and he's on the undercard so if you know
how this works there's a main event but
then there's all these other matches
leading up and and he comes in and it's
exciting the atmosphere is phenomenal
but then all of a sudden the main event
happens this is really what everyone's
come for and there's this just like this
hush that begins and then the ring
announcer steps up and he says ladies
and gentlemen boys and girls of all ages
welcome to the main event introducing
first managed by Bobby the brain Heenan
from Los Angeles California standing 6
foot 10 inches weighing 367 pounds Big
John Studd and the crowd just boos this
is the villain the crowd is booing and
throwing popcorn and just you know
because this guy is a what they call a
real heel he's just an absolute villain
and that and then all of a sudden the
crowd starts to die down the lights dim
and then there's a bit of music that
plays and the ring announcer says and
his opponents
from Grenoble in the French Alps
standing seven foot five inches tall
weighing 520 pounds the 8th wonder of
the world Andre the Giant and I'm not
the place just erupted it went berserk
and I have never ever seen a human being
that large before this guy walked down
it was like a walking Eclipse you could
not see anything behind him or and and
he has just he's just walked he's just
lumbered in and this guy is huge he
there is no words to describe it and
actually after that after the match I
actually got to go backstage and I got
to meet all these guys so I'm 11 years
old
I think all this stuff's real I am in
shock when I walk into the dressing room
and there is my my uncle you know
sitting next to the guy he's just had a
fight with and and the same thing with
Andre the Dryad because in my mind I
said to my asking this question I said
how did you guys actually arrive here
did you have to take separate planes
because you know the good guys and the
bad guys because you guys would just be
brawling everywhere and that he sort of
didn't tell me that it was kind of
staged and all so that's that's what I
had in my mind and anyway
Andre lumbers over remember I'm an 11
years old I'm about 4 foot nothing 60
kilos and he lumbers over and I just
stand looking up and he looks down at me
and he puts out his hand and it looks
like a baseball mitt it is that big and
he shakes my hand he takes my program he
signs it and that was the best night of
my life
outside of my family stuff it was
phenomenal it was phenomenal
even now I reminisce about that what
you're the old fights and that because I
got to meet a real-life giant today I
want to talk about the fact that there
was another little kid that went up
against a real giant another giant and I
was I was thinking about this you know
imagine if if if we were in the ring in
a little ringside and
announcer says look Big John Studd can't
fight so I'm just going to put it out
there is there anyone here who would
like to take on Andre the Giant and I
imagine in my mind getting up and
walking to the stage and no one would
believe that I'd be able to defeat him
but the odds were even worse than that
when the kid named David walked down the
Valley of Elah and he took on a 9 foot 9
giant so we're going to look at this
because this is in 1st Samuel chapter 17
and we're going to look at the fact that
I really don't want to focus on the
fight between David and Goliath that is
a spoiler alert if you haven't read it
David wins headshot and the big guy goes
down it's all over it's a pretty we all
know the story and you know that whole
that whole phrase David and Goliath now
is kind of it's kind of used everywhere
in the corporate world you know someone
takes on a major corporation or it's
David and Goliath esque you know or it's
the ultimate underdog story and I really
don't want to focus on that because the
way I see it Goliath had absolutely no
chance he had no chance I know on the
outside he looked huge the Bible goes
into great detail
remember Samuel is writing this and and
he sets the scene and it is so picture
as he opens up first samuel chapter 17
and he talks about the fact that the
Israelites and the Philistines one side
is on one side of the mountain the other
side is on the other and there is a
valley in between and their champion
Goliath out and he issues this challenge
you know one on one come on if you guys
win we'll be your servants if I win
you're all going to be ours and no one
does anything until David arrives and
the reason why I say that David was
always going to defeat Goliath it's
because and this is really what I want
to focus on tonight there were three
fights that David had even before he
took on Goliath and those things
determined the fact that Goliath really
had no chance he was a dead
and walking because these three things
are things that we will still face today
in our Christian walk they are three
fights that we all have to face and
because David was so successful in these
three fights Goliath that was a foregone
conclusion Goliath was always going to
go down he just didn't know it and so
tonight I really want to talk about
these three areas that we're going to
fight in these three areas that every
single believer must face they must take
on in order to defeat eventually the big
thing that maybe you might be facing and
it might be huge it might be
overwhelming but I'm telling you I
believe in my heart that if you if you
win these smaller battles the life's
going down whatever that giant thing
that you are intimidated about or
overwhelmed about that thing is going to
go down and so I want to really look at
David's story and what happens and what
led him to that point where he was able
to take down Goliath and I believe that
the first part and it's the first point
and we read this in 1 Samuel chapter 17
from verse 17 to 20 and the Bible says
this it says now Jesse said to his son
David take this ether of roasted grain
and these 10 loaves of bread for your
brothers and hurry to their camp take
along these 10 cheeses to the commander
of their unit see how your brothers are
and bring back some assurance from them
they are with soul and all the men of
Israel in the Valley of Elah fighting
against the Philistines early in the
morning David left to the David left the
flock in the care of a shepherd loaded
up and set out as Jesse had directed so
this begins at the this is this is a
First Samuel chapter 17 what we don't
see here is that what happens in chapter
16 in chapter 16
David is chosen amongst all of his
brothers he's the youngest of eight and
he is anointed by the prophet Samuel
to be the next king of Israel and so
David that happens in chapter 16 David
goes back to looking after his sheep and
then this happens in chapter 17 the
battle comes it's been 40 days it's been
40 days and then David's father says to
David I want you to take this food and
go see how your brothers are now the
first fight I believe that we all need
to face is the fight against
faithlessness faithlessness now when I
say faithlessness I'm talking about the
it is the the that whole thing about
being untrue or unfaithful to things
that we should have an allegiance to
those things that we should be faithful
to but we can tend to be unfaithful and
and this is really the point of this is
that David was able to be faithful in
the small things David was able to be
faithful in the small things you see if
you know the story when David killed
Goliath he actually took his head off
and I know it sounds a bit dark but it
was actually it was actually a powerful
symbol because in in the culture of the
day headship always represented
authority so if you took the head of
something it meant I'm taking your
authority and when he did that there
Israelites rush the Philistines and
defeated them and so David watch this
David is carrying the head of a giant
back to Jerusalem the only reason why he
was able to carry the head of a giant
back is because he was carrying little
lunches to their small insignificant
things he was willing to do and in the
end he had a huge victory he had a huge
victory now to be honest if that was me
and I had just been anointed by the
prophet Samuel now you have to
understand Samuel is awesome the Bible
says that no prophetic word that Samuel
declared fell to the ground void
everything he said came true so when
Samuel turns up and he anoints David
everyone
this is going to happen Samuel does not
miss you know he is 100% with his so
knowing that David goes back anyway
but if my dad had called me and said I
want you to take this I would have said
you know what one day I'm going to be
king there are seven other boys there or
maybe four because three have gone
choose one of them what do I look like
uber eats or delivery do you go and take
it to someone else don't you know I'm
going to be king one day I'm gonna be
king I'm gonna be your king so no no you
go tell someone else David doesn't do
that and this is something I tell myself
all the time you know David David was
you know remember he was an anointed
king he wasn't anointed to be a princess
he wasn't a diva and because hashtag we
are kings
we don't hatch tag behave like queens
[Applause]
you know what a queen is the Queen's
just a princess with a promotion so say
David is sorry that offended you I'm
talking to me I'm talking to me David is
so faithful that he sees this small task
you know just take this food and go and
he doesn't he takes it and he goes and
he has his destiny moment he has his
destiny moment and this is the whole
point of this big victories begin with
small acts of faithfulness victory in
the big things they begin with small
acts of faithfulness passive in just
talked about that massive miracle 5,000
plus some scholars estimate
approximately 10,000 people were fed
that day you know how they were fed a
little kid carrying lunch a little kid
carrying lunch and often you know if
you're ever been in church life we look
at someone who's you know got amazing
anointing or carrying great presents
charisma all of that and we want that
sort of thing we want to emulate that
sort of thing what they're carrying you
know where it starts carry the small
things right where you are
carry the little things right where we
right where you are
this
is throughout all of the Bible this
theme of being faithful with the few
faithful with the little faithful with
the unseen things no cameras around no
one knows but you are faithful with the
little things because I tell you God is
watching God sees all of that I don't
know if you've heard of the Sistine
Chapel it's it's one of the most
brilliant pieces of artwork anywhere in
the world and it was painted by
Michelangelo the famous painter who
wasn't even a painter he was a sculpture
and it was a ceiling and and this
ceiling it depicts all of these amazing
scenes from the book of Genesis and
probably the most famous scene is that
scene of David sorry of Adam and and God
that reaching out reaching out to each
other and it took four years four years
to paint that and it's absolutely
phenomenal he was commissioned to do it
and he does it and there's a story that
goes that there was one moment that
Michelangelo was painting something
right in the corner it was right in the
corner and because of the structure of
the ceiling and the walls
it was absolutely he couldn't even see
it it was obscure and yet he actually
spent hours and a couple of days
painting in detail this thing and one of
his apprentices said what you even
bother no one's going to see that and
his response was brilliant he said God
will see because being faithful with the
little things in in a culture like
elsewhere we celebrate the big things we
celebrate huge things you know I was
thinking about the fact that when I was
growing up we had a basketball hoop in
our backyard and I remember playing my
brother playing my our friends and and
it was always the same sort of backyard
fantasy you know we'd come to the end
and someone would count down the shot
clock three two one and we would do our
own commentary and Jordan gets the ball
shoots and it's all over the crowd
screams ha you know and it's that sort
of thing we always celebrate those big
moments because we get big react
and it's awesome you know what we never
ever ever fantasized about there was a
never a time where we said okay three
seconds on the clock loose-ball he dives
for the ball he grabs it yeah oh look at
that block is just said look at the
screen is just said look at him boxing
out for the reap no no one celebrates
those things but it's those little
things that actually build up to those
big moments it's those things that build
up to the big moments so it is so
imperative in our fight that we fight to
be faithful with the little things you
know David's most famous Psalm Psalm 23
it talks about this I think it's verse 4
or 5 and it says yea though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death I will fear no evil for you are
with me your rod and your staff they
comfort me so he's walking through the
valley do you know what the very next
verse is you prepare a table before me
you prepare a table for me in the midst
of all of my enemies so look at this
he's walking through the valley shadow
of death there's danger enemies all
around but there's a table prepared on
the other side and this might be for
someone you you you might feel like
you're walking through something dark
you're walking through something
dangerous but I want to tell you God's
already prepared the table because he
knows you're going to get through the
valley because he knows you're going to
get through the valley the table is
already set up and he says in the
presence of all my enemies everything
that couldn't kill you in the valley
God's going to celebrate you in the
tower in it in front of all of those
people at the table so just keep walking
they're just little steps they're just
little steps just one step after the
other it's dark no one will see just
every morning do your devotion just
every Sunday come to church just every
time your rostered serve it sees little
acts that are so
huge so huge because you may not know
that your victory your biggest victory
is on the end of this in second Kings
the prophet Elijah is in the midst of a
famine there is this massive famine
that's going on and and they're under
siege as a result of that there they're
basically sort of locked up in this some
in this town and the Bible says that
Elijah he declares a word and this word
is that this time tomorrow the famine is
going to stop
well the Bible also goes on to say that
there were four letters there were four
letters outside the city and they
basically say okay if we go back we're
gonna die in the city of famine if we
stay here we're gonna die of famine
anyway why don't we just move forward
and go down to the Syrian army's camp
maybe they'll kill us if they kill us
well we're gonna die anyway but maybe we
just go down anyway because who knows
they might spare us and you know what
happens these for lepers so you know
what lepers are these guys are not
healthy so they get up and they are
walking in the desert it's it's barren
you know they are walking and I don't
know how people who leper a sort of walk
but I sort of envision it it's kind of
like that
film clip for music video for Michael
Jackson's Thriller they're not moving
very very very quickly they're just
walking slowly and the Bible says that
while they're walking while they're
taking small steps God amplifies their
sound to the enemy and to the enemy it
sounds like that there are chariots
soldiers entire armies that are rushing
down to take over now look at this
they're taking small steps but while
they're taking small steps God is
amplifying their sound they don't know
what's going to happen they don't know
what's going to happen in front of them
they could be used as target practice by
the enemy but because they're just
taking a chance and they're just saying
I'm going to move forward anyway and I
feel like this is a word for someone
that
like I really don't know where to go
should I go back should I stay where we
are or should I move forward what if
what if you just trusted God and move
forward you know when they came to that
camp the whole place was deserted and
they went in and they started to raid
the place there was so much stuff in
there and they went back and the famine
that's other famine ended and maybe your
breakthrough maybe your famine are
ending maybe your next big thing could
be from the fact that you took small
steps small acts small things because
how many of you know that it ain't over
till God says it's over and if you've
still got a pulse it means you've still
got a purpose God has not finished with
you it doesn't matter how old you are or
what's transpired just keep moving
forward and taking those small steps
amen
all right so this is the second the
second fight that David wins sorry back
to the first one so the reason why David
was able to to win that battle is
because not only did he do that small
thing of being faithful with delivering
lunches but he also did the small thing
of defending his little lambs you know
his brother sort of criticized him and
said why don't you look in those little
lambs and then soul says to him later
you know you can't take this giant on
you're just a kid and David explains
that he's beaten bears and lions
defending little lambs so because he's
been defending Lambs and delivering
lunches that qualifies him to take and
bid this beat this giant compare that to
the fact that the reigning king the
reigning king now remember he's there
he's there he hears Goliath he hears all
of this and he doesn't move even though
he's bigger the Bible says he is head
and shoulders taller than everyone else
he's big himself but he doesn't move and
it's because he failed on two occasions
two occasions where he was instructed do
not do anything in this battle until the
prophet Samuel comes and offers a
sacrifice under pressure he falters he
offers it and Samuel says God's taken
this away from you
gods found another man and then the
other time where he was instructed to
kill all the Amalekites and all of their
livestock and he keeps the king and he
keeps the best of the livestock and the
Saturn Samuel the Prophet turns up and
he says you've failed again and God is
going to give the kingdom to someone
better than you because he says behold
it is better to obey than to sacrifice
so the reason why Saul does not move to
take on Goliath he's already failed he's
failed this fight so the next fight is
the fight against fear it says in verse
eight to eleven David reached the camp
as the army was going out to its battle
positions shouting the war cry Israel
and the Philistines were drawing up
their lines facing each other David left
the things with the keeper of supplies
ran to the battle lines and asked his
brothers how they were as he was talking
with them Goliath the Philistine
champion from Gath stepped out from his
lines and shouted his usual defiance and
David heard it
whenever the years who I saw the man
they all fled from his from him in great
fear so they fled from him in great fear
because we're running out of time let me
just speed this up okay what you are
fearful of you shouldn't and I know that
sounds easier said than done but the
appearance of adversity is not to
destroy you it's to deploy you when
Goliath steps out David is not afraid
because he understands that Goliath
turning up is going to be his promotion
he's already been anointed king so it
does not matter what you are facing how
big it is you are not the Bible says we
are hard pressed on every side but not
crushed we are perplexed but not in
despair we are persecuted but not we and
then it goes on to say we are cast down
but not destroyed it has not turned up
to destroy you it's turned up to deploy
you God is going to use that thing that
you may be fearful of to transport you
to your next place of promotion you know
the story of Jonah God instructs him to
do something and he runs away he's in
this ship and and there's a massive
storm and he tells him it's it's my
fault throw me over so he gets thrown
over in this storm and then all of a
sudden during a dinner dinner dinner
it's a giant fish but it comes not to
take him out it doesn't come to
terminate him it came to transport him
it came to take him back to where he was
going so you should never ever be
fearful of that thing that might be
overwhelming you because God can use
that so it can deploy you to your next
to your next place to your next area and
finally the last point is this it says
in 1st Samuel 17 verse 8 Goliath stood
and he shouted to the ranks of Israel
why do you come out and line up for
battle
am I not a Philistine and are you not
the servants of Saul choose a man and
have him come down to me so this happens
40 days 40 days goliath comes out am I
not a Philistine and are you not the
servants of Saul day 1 he comes back and
we're not a Philistine servants of Saul
am I not a Philistine servants of Saul
servants of Saul servants of Saul for
forty days that's what they hear morning
and night
80 times servants of Saul and so these
guys in their mind that's all they hear
yeah you're right we're servants of Saul
and Sora's not moving so we're even
worse than him we're servants of Saul
but then all of a sudden this kid comes
out and he comes out and he interrupts
us he interrupts his playlist and listen
to what he says David are cement
standing by we'll be done for the man
who kills this Philistine and removes
this disgrace from Israel who is this
uncircumcised Philistine that he should
defy the armies of the Living God so in
the most epic battle seen ever created
the Goliath is Goliath is out here
making his challenge and David steps out
and it is one of the most epic speeches
and he steps out and he looks at the men
and he says sons of Scotland you've come
to fight as free men no doesn't he steps
out and he says my name is Marcus
Aurelius commander of the armies of the
north general Lille Felix lead no no he
doesn't he doesn't really he steps out
and he says err Bombay welcome to
forever no no he doesn't do any of those
they're all epic battle scenes but he
steps out and he says who is this
uncircumcised Philistine that he should
listen defy the armies of the Living God
so David flips the script you are not
servants of Saul you are armies of the
Living God you are not a servant of Saul
you are an army of the Living God
because David knew that your identity
will determine your itinerary who you
are will determine where you go and it
was never to sit back and it was never
to be scared and it was never to stay
weak it was always to move forward and
to advance because you are the army of
the Living God
you're the army of the Living God and
this is what David was doing he was
defeating he was defeating the last
fight and it was against familiarity and
it is the familiarity of what the enemy
has been whispering to you and telling
you and lying to you about your identity
because he knows if he can get you to
believe something else about you he's
going to disrupt your progress and he's
going to keep you back but every time
God steps on the scene he always tells
people who they are Gideon you are a
mighty warrior even to his own son Jesus
he said this is my beloved son and yet
when he's in the wilderness that is a
very thing the enemy attacks if you are
the son of God if you are the son of God
- Oh seeds but your identity is not in
anything you can do or anything that can
happen to your identity is in your
relationship to God and this is so
important that we understand our fight
against familiarity because familiarity
is a beast familiarity will take you out
and it will hold and and it's not just
being familiar with ourselves but it's
also being familiar with God so let me
just finish with this look at this this
is in the Gospel of Mark chapter 4 the
Bible says that Jesus and his disciples
are on a boat and there's a windstorm
and they think they're going to die and
Jesus gets up and he slays this storm he
slays it with the word they get to the
other side they meet a man with a legion
of demons Jesus casts the demons out
they go back to the other side
a woman with a chronic illness for 12
years reaches out touches him and
instantly she's healed Jesus goes to
another man's house raises her dead his
dead daughter so chapter 4 Jesus slays a
storm chapter 5 Jesus casts out a legion
of demons he heals two people almost at
the same time one has chronic illness
the other is death that's chapter 5 so
you can see that the trajectory of the
miracles are just sort of going up and
up but then we come to mark chapter 6
and you know what happens Jesus goes
home to Nazareth and he is he marvels at
the fact that they are so familiar with
him because they say isn't this Mary's
boy isn't this Joseph's son
we know him who does he think he is and
the Bible says that he could do no
miracles in that place because of
familiarity so familiarity is a fight
that we need to take on not just for
ourselves but who we say God is it's who
we say God is so in closing this is what
I want - this is what I want to propose
to you you know the Bible says in Acts
chapter 13 that David did all of the
purposes of God in his generation he did
all of them what would your life look
like if you took the fight on against
faithlessness against fear against
familiarity to defeat these small things
on the way to defeating the big things
what would your life to look like if you
serve the purposes to your generation
