Rest in the Promise | Week 12: Joshua

And the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”

Joshua 11:6 (ESV)

Three Keys to Rest in the Promise Land

  1. Hamstring the Horses | Joshua 11:6-9, Psalm 20:7
  2. Destroy the Kingdoms of this World | Joshua 11:10-20, Deuteronomy 20:18, Ephesians 6:12
  3. Inherit Rest | Joshua 11:21-23, Matthew 11:28-30

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.

Joshua 11:23 (ESV) Emphasis Added

Respond with Prayer

  • Ask Jesus to “Cut and Burn” the weapons of your war.
  • Ask the Spirit to destroy the kingdom of the world in your heart.
  • Rest in the inheritance of God’s promise.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV) Jesus Speaking to the Disciples

God Fights For You | Week 11: Joshua

At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,

and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”

And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,

until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.

Joshua 10:12-13

Three faith factors for the fight

  1. Believe God’s Promise | Joshua 10:8, 25
  2. Speak to the Lord in Prayer | Joshua 10:12
  3. Act in Faith and Obedience | Joshua 10:9, 16-42

And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

Joshua 10:42 (ESV)

Respond with Prayer

  • Renew knowledge of His Promises
  • Declare your faith in the Fight
  • Acts according to a divine strategy

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Mark 11:22-23 (ESV)

A Promise You Shouldn’t Have Made | Week 10: Joshua

14 So the men took some of their provisions, but did not ask counsel from the Lord. 15 And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.

Joshua 9:14-15 (ESV)

Takeaways

  1. Deceived into a Promise
  2. Buyer’s Remorse
  3. Keeping Your Word

They answered Joshua, “Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you—so we feared greatly for our lives because of you and did this thing.

Joshua 9:24 (ESV)

Respond with Holy Communion

  • Seek Counsel of the Lord
  • Use Your Mistakes for Your Benefit
  • Overcome Evil with Good

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Greater Covenant

by

We all face different struggles and sorrows. We work to find leaders, religious institutions, and spiritual experiences that will give us hope. We live in a time of restlessness and anxiety. The writer of the book of Hebrews encourages us to find Jesus and experience him, because he is GREATER!

 

1) Greater Covenant is in HEAVEN

Hebrews 8:1 | Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven

2) Greater Covenant is set up by the LORD

Hebrews 8:2 | A minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.

3) Greater Covenant is SELF SACRIFICIAL

Hebrews 8:3-4 | For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.  Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law.

4) Greater Covenant is the ORIGINAL

Hebrews 8:5 | They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.

5) Greater Covenant is ENACTED

Hebrews 8:6 | But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

6) Greater Covenant is without FAULT

Hebrews 8:7 | For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

7) Greater Covenant is written on HEARTS OF MEN

Hebrews 8:8-13 | For he finds fault with them when he says: Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
