Book Of Joshua It’s About A Land And A People

Entering The Land Chapters 1-5
Conquering The Land Chapters 6-12
Distributing The Land Chapters 13-24

The Children Of Israel Neglected The Most Basic Exercise:

Trusting And Believing
God’s Promises

Some Believe Canaan Is A Type Of Heaven

Swing Low Sweet Chariot
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

Canaan Was A Place Of Occupation, Warfare, Battles, And Victories

The Truth:
The Book Of Joshua Is A Type Of The Believer’s Life On This Planet

Israel Took An 11 Day Journey
And Turned It Into A 40 Year Tour

Why: They Became Wonderers And Whiners, Instead Of Worshipers, Because They Refused To Trust And Believe God’s Promise

There Is Always A Cost For Believing God And His Promises!

You Might Need To Defeat:
Satanic Attacks
Comfort Zones
Family Beliefs
Mental Strongholds
Religious Teachings

There Is Always A Greater Cost For NOT Believing God’s Promise:

40 Year Delay
1.2 Million Dying In The Wilderness
85 People Per Day

Then He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers.

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.
Joshua 1:3

Nothing Of God Died, When The Man Of God Died

The Promise Is What Releases God’s Power In Our Lives

To Living By Promise

Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
Joshua 1:6-7

Be Of Good Courage And Be Strong, Be Very Courageous

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Meditate And Keep Your Mind In The Word Of God

Stay In The Word Day and Night

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9
