What precisely did God instruct Joshua to do?
Be thou robust and very bold,
that thou mayest observe to do
according to all of the law, which Moses
my servant commanded thee : turn not
from it to the right hand or to the left,
that thou mayest prosper whithersoever
thou goest. This book of the law shall
not depart out of thy mouth ; but thou
shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein :
for then thou shalt make thy way
wealthy, and then thou shalt have
good success. Have not I commanded
thee? Be robust and of a good courage ;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed :
for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest ( verses 7-9 ).
Just like Joshua, if you meditate on the
word of god, if you believe it and obey it,
you're a candidate for a miracle today. You may
feel a bit like you are in the desert, but you are standing
on the boundary of the promised Land.
the sole query is : Will you go forward
or will you turn back?
The demon is going to try and convince you
to turn back. He's going to work to distract
you from the word of god and frighten you
into settling for a nice life in the desert.
But listen to me. You will build a hundred
churches in the desert. You will draw water
out of the Jordan, cultivate the dry land and
think you've found heaven. But you'll be
mistaken. Don't live in the desert in a church
with a cultivated yard! You will be outside of
the will of the Lord God. He wants you in the
promised Land.
'But, bro Jesse, it would take a
miracle to get me past all of these Problems I
have and into the promised Land.'
No problem! You're a candidate for a
miracle!
Well, then, you may wonder, why am I
having such a hard time receiving one? Because
you remember too well that fallen state you
were in before God saved you.
Most Christians have that problem. That is's
why they have problems believing God will
work a miracle for them. They suspect, for
instance, that God will healbut they're not
sure he will be able to heal them!
but it's's time we change that sort of
thinking. We need to quit dwelling on that
old, fallen state and concentrate instead on the fact
that God has made us His righteousness in
Christ Jesus! We are in Him!
Sometimes I speak so boldly, it makes
folks mad. They say,'Who do you suspect
you are?!' I ask them,'How much time do
you have? It would most likely take me a considerable time to
tell you who I'm because I'd have to inform
you everything Jesus is. I am in Him!'
