One time I was studying with a friend and he finds principles
everywhere. I asked my friend, “Why does God tell us that Goliath
had six toes on each foot?” And his answer was, “To teach us that
we cannot stand toe to toe with the enemy!” When we see the flesh
we can’t handle it. You can’t fight Satan. That’s why Jesus did it
for you. He didn’t do it once as your example. He did it as your
substitute, so that you don’t have to do it. The war is over.

Daniel 2:34, “You continued looking until a stone was cut out
without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay,
and crushed them.” God showed Daniel a little stone coming out of
heaven, a stone not made with hands.

Daniel 2:35, “Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the
gold were crushed all at the summer threshing floors; and the wind
carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the
stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the
whole earth.” The stone hit the feet of the image of man and the
stone began to grow and it continued to grow until it filled the whole
world.

What do you call a stone that grows? You call it a “living stone”.
As it grows, it’s alive. It’s a picture of the Lord Jesus and the Lord
Jesus is the only One that can deal with that image. He comes down
and He hits the very foundation and as that thing falls down, He
begins to grow. He’s the living stone.

That will be true when Jesus comes back again someday. That was
true when Jesus died on the cross. That was true when Jesus came
into your heart. He struck at the image of man and brought it down
and now He’s filling your life; growing and growing and growing.
Did you notice that there was a lot of dust? The Bible says that the
wind came and blew it away. Do you know what the wind is a
picture of in the Bible? It’s the Holy Spirit of God. Do you see what
God is saying for your life and mine? He’s saying, “Don’t deal with
that big image. I’ll deal with it and what I mow down, the Holy
