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
Spirit will blow away.” You don’t have to try to clean up your life.
You don’t have to struggle to get into the will of God. He has
overcome everything between you and the will of God.

When God comes into your life and strikes at the foundation and a
lot of dust comes from that crash, don’t think that is the dust from
the devil. That’s not dust from the devil. That’s the dust from the
Lord. When He cleanses the temple, He makes a mess. We call it
“a cleansing” but the tables are upside down, the animals are running
all over the place, and money is all over the floor. That’s how my
children used to clean their rooms. They said that they cleaned it
but it didn’t look clean.

When the Lord Jesus deals with some sin, some flesh in your life,
He’s replacing that kingdom with His and as that comes down, His
kingdom grows and the Lord Jesus will fill the whole landscape of
your life. What is victory? Victory is Jesus. You have Jesus. He
has authority and you have Him. You don’t have authority. He has
all authority and you have none. You have Him. You don’t have
victory. You have Him. He is your victory. You don’t have to deal
with the flesh. He does. When He does, the Holy Spirit blows it
away.
