Introduction: David is our example of spiritual warfare. He had a defensive war against Saul(represents those in the Church- 1 Sam. 26:21-25), and an offensive war against the Phillistines(Those in the world-11 Sam. 8:1-2).

                         The Five Smooth Stones can first be seed, the plant, and then fruit as we grow in the knowledge of of Lord and saviour Jesus Christ(Heb. 5:12-14; Heb.6:1-3;11 Pet.1:4-7; 11 Pet. 3:18). The concept of the giant represent the demon. Both of these are five words. Giant- Demon was the spirit of Goliath versus Hedge-Favor which was the spirit of David. If you cannot not withstand wih nonsense trials and jealousies in church,you will not be able wconfront the persecution and tribulation in the world.

Conclusion: Salvation addresses the issue of Obedience(Acts 2:36-38;Acts 16:31). The Whole Armour of God(Eph. 6:10-17)addresses the issue of Truth. Spiritual Gifts(1 Cor. 12:1-12)addresses the issue of Humility. The Fruit of the Spirit addresses the issue of Love(Gal. 5:16,22,26;John 15:1-5). Finally Christian Growth addresses the issue of Holiness(11 Pet. 1:4-7;11 Pet. 3:17,18). 

                    These Five Smooth Stones can come together together as one great giant stone. In Isa. 28:16, "behold I lay in Zion a tried stone". Noticed tried is five words(stand for Jesus);yes, there is power in the name of Jesus(Col. 3:16,17).Daniel saw this same stone(Dan. 2:45)that wad yuled of the mountain that crusg this image. No doubt in the vision, the stone that came out from on how came down upon this Goliath the Giant. You can call for a stone to come out from Heaven's mountain, saying, "I will lift up my eyes unto to the hills from which cometh my help(my deliverance),because he has made the heaven's and the earth"(Psa.121:1).
