From Joshua chapter 5–6, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us to be steadfast in our faithfulness. Just as the Israelites trusted the Lord to deliver the promised land, we can trust Him with the challenges in our life.

Notes:

The Bible tells us that the final conflict of man would be centered on Jerusalem.

Jerusalem will be the focal point of End Times events.

Jerusalem plays a key role in the Last Days.

Zechariah 12:2–3

We need to pray for Israel and their military, that they prevail in this war; but as Christians, we also need to pay attention to the potential prophetic significance.

Ephesians 6:10–13

Satan often attacks us in our minds and imaginations.

2 Corinthians 11:3

We must learn how to guard our minds.

2 Corinthians 10:4

You are the air traffic controller of your mind!

Read: Joshua 5:13–15

To enter the land of promises, you must encounter and follow Christ.

The first step to winning the spiritual battle is to stand close to Jesus.

Ephesians 6:10

Read: Joshua 6:1–5

God will work in different ways and in different situations, so we look to Him, whether it’s Joshua with trumpets, or Gideon with torches and pitchers.

God uses weaknesses to show His strength!

Jesus would touch a person, and they would be healed.

People would touch Jesus, and they would be healed.

Jesus would speak, even spit on the ground, and wipe it, and they would be healed.

When we get to the end of ourselves, we get to the beginning of God.

God will often do His work in ways that seem unusual or even counterintuitive.

Isaiah 55:8

If you want success, don’t seek it; seek the Lord!

Matthew 6:33

If you want to be happy, you must learn to be sad!

If you want to be great, serve others!

Mark 9:35

God had the Israelites walk around Jericho to show they needed Him.

The greatest difficulty for many is to get to the place where we admit we need God and are prepared to admit that the whole thing is simply too big for us.

The Canaanites could have believed and been spared, but they refused.

They Israelites overcame their enemy by faith, not by feeling.

Hebrews 11:30

Faith does not take “no” for an answer.

It’s not just faith; it’s also patience.

Hebrews 6:12

The moment you are ready to quit may be the moment right before the miracle happens!

Galatians 6:9

Revelation 11:15

Guard your mind and your heart; do not retreat, attack!
