528 – Be Strong and Thankful
You can follow along with the Scriptures and my notes as I read them.
I was invited to teach at the international Zoom Fellowship that was run by the Ministries in Venezuela. I was very excited to teach at that Fellowship, but I was blown away by all the fellowships in South and Central America that zoomed in on the Fellowship, and I was very blessed to teach. Then, on Sunday at my local Fellowship, I taught the same teaching, and here it is as a podcast.
Joshua 1:1 & 2 "Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel."
With Moses' death, this was a major change in the lives of the children of Israel. The one they loved and he took care of them now dead. They now had to change some things.
Joshua 1:3 - 5 "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
Now comes the promise of God. They're going to need to be strong and of a good courage. And trust God, and their new man of God.
Joshua 1:6 7 "Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, [The Word of God] 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."
Joshua 1:8 & 9 "This book of the law [The Word of God] 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 prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
By doing the word of God, they were to be prosperous and successful. Same as true for us. We have a different word of God, the Church Epistles, and by doing them, we prosper and have good success.
Joshua 1:10 & 11 "Then Joshua commanded the officers [leaders] of the people, saying, 11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it."
This is Revelation, the Word of wisdom, the Word of knowledge. What they were to do with God's blessing. God was going to take care of them.
Joshua 1:13 - 18 "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; 15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. 16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. 17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage."
What is the Word of God to us in our day and time? It is written in The Book of Ephesians. This is for us.
Ephesians 6:10 - 20 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, [all that we have learned and believed] that ye may be able to stand against the wiles [methods] of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, [all that we have learned and believed] that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins [the midsection of your body, where your strength is.] girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate [Where your heart is] of righteousness; 15 And your feet [It's how you get around with your feet] shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith [believing], wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts [javelin's] of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet [your head, where your brian is.] of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; [having a stong prayer life] 19 And [praying] for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
1 Thessalonians 5:14 - 28 "Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly [disorderly], comfort the feebleminded [discouaged], support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
