If God gave us His definition for success, would you pay attention? Everyone in the world is battling for success, yet most of us aren’t prioritizing God’s definition of success. 

Guess what? For the vast majority, success is never easy. Success always comes with internal challenges and external opposition. This is especially true spiritually because there’s an enemy fighting against God’s purposes and promises. That’s why God tells Joshua and Caleb time and time again to be “strong and courageous.” 

Success is a battle on many levels. It is a battle spiritually, mentally, and physically. In this series, we’re going to discover and develop the lion inside of you. 

The tenth message of Courageous is from Joshua 7:1-26. What happens when we don’t heed the Word of God, but especially the warnings of God? Why does God warn us? His warnings aren’t about withholding goodness; they are about protecting us. 

Chapter seven of Joshua is one of those chapters where God could easily be misrepresented or misunderstood. When God’s consequences feel harsh, it’s important to learn why. God is never harsh just for the sake of being harsh. He is good and is always looking out for our good. 

Tune in to this message and learn the importance of heeding God’s warnings. God can use this message to protect you from some of life’s greatest regrets. Lastly, the flip side of consequences are the blessings. God’s heart for us is to receive the blessings and avoid the consequences.
