The Mystery of David and Goliath in the Bible is a fascinating illustration of the war between Flesh and Spirit. Paul says:

The story of David and Goliath starts before their battle. Just as we read in the bible, before sitting on the throne, David had overcome the Lion and the Bear. Then he faced his third enemy, Goliath, a Philistine, an Uncircumcised Philistine.

​He overcame the first two in the Name of the Lord. Likewise, he approached the third in the same Name. He didn't gather together an army to war against any of these enemies.

These battles are 'within', for the Kingdom of God is "within".​

Who we are in Christ overcomes what we do in flesh to gain life.

Christ is where we let go of "I Am My Own Savior"...and believe JESUS is (God is My Savior).

He doesn't save anyone from Hell. He saves us from 'us'.

He shows "if you try to save yourself, you'll lose".

​He showed this on the Cross.

He showed the path of life, by "not saving Himself". He pointed at THE Way of Life on the Cross: 'Stop Trying', and 'Start Trusting'. Stop believing "Why Have You Forsaken Me, My GOD?", and start believing "In To Your Hands I commit Myself, My FATHER".

Then the Father raised the Son in 3 days to show the TWO TREEs were ONE TREE, which is who you are. Finding yourself in yourself is death, Finding yourself in Him is life. Love is the way of life, Fear is the way of death.

You'll live forever, not because you are afraid of death, but because you want to live with the One who is in LOVE with you.

So the Mystery of David and Goliath speaks of the 'overcoming' stage, before we sit on the throne, as kings, reigning with Christ, as Christ, in our land, which is the fullness of who we are.
