A look through the book of Joshua at the battles that were fought by the Israelites once they had entered into the Promise to see what those Promised Land Battles taught them as they learned to Possess the Promise. 

A look at what the Prophet Jeremah tells us is the answer for those who are going into a season of trial and national storm. For the faithful, there is a shelter, and a provision and Jeramiah tells us where to find it. 

Coverings are important, God does things decently and in order. Staying within our placement allows for protection, provision, and power to flow down freely and unhindered. Let God lead. You be a bride and let Him be the Husband. 

Why did every person of power and faith in scripture fast? Why was it the marker of major turning points in people's lives, entire nations, and the whole narrative of Biblical dispensations? Why did Jesus say that some victories can only come by way of it? Why does the modern church shy away from it? Why did Jesus teach that it was as essential as prayer in the life of a believer? Today we look a little closer at how fasting can grow you in grace according to scripture. 

In the temptation of Christ, the Devil tried to use the word of God to deceive and mislead. He knows that he can more easily sell you half-truths than whole lies, so he twists and perverts to manipulates the unlearned. He knows the word very well, if you want to stand against his temptations, you better know it too, so you can stand on the truth. Like Jesus did as an example for you. 

A powerful reminder that God is the supplier of our physical needs as well. He cares and knows what we need and will perform miracles, if need be, to feed His sheep. Trust Him and follow His lead and remember all the times He has provided for you before and know that He will always come through for you when things get hard. 

Different people have different definitions of faith, but God's definition is encompassed in the marriage covenant and goes beyond believing what we want to believe, to embody trust in what Jesus came to teach. Trust in Him, in who He is, in what He did, and in what He said. You can believe something and still not obey it, but if you trust Him, you will listen and follow Him anywhere. Even to the grave and back.

There is a time to build, a time to tear down, and a time to relay the foundations for future generations to build upon.  When there is nothing left to revive, it's time to reform. God is a God that keeps His word. Nothing is too hard, it's just doesn't usually come the way we invasion with our own vain imagination, but it comes in a way that is perfection and brings change that last for generations. Know the times and the season and get into position for the shifting. It's almost time for building. 

God offers to partner with us. That is what covenant is, a partnership! Yet we can't forget what our place in it really is. We are His battle axes! He uses us to subdue kingdoms. But the axe does not swing itself. Nore is it the only one on the shelf. So don't get prideful! Instead, stay sharp and ready for the next mission and always give the glory to the one who welds it.

A look at one of the strangest and most beautiful miracles of Jesus's earthly ministry and what this woman of immense humility has to teach us through the pages of HisStory.
