The world today often feels like a battleground for believers—a modern-day "days of Noah" filled with perversion, violence, and sin. The question is, how can we fight to live a holy life in such a time? This message reminds us that the battle is not ours to win alone; it is the Lord's. Just as God fought for Joshua, He fights for us today.

Here are some key takeaways from this teaching:

-- We are created for dominion. From the very beginning, God created humanity in His image and gave us dominion over the earth. This authority is not just a historical fact but a call to action for believers today to stand in faith and command the "giants" in our lives to stand still.

-- The Lord fights for us. The story of Joshua conquering the Amorite kings, with God Himself casting down hailstones from heaven, is a powerful reminder that our ammunition is incomparable to the Lord's. When we walk in faith and obedience, God Himself will destroy our enemies.

-- Faith grows when we see God work. Joshua's faith grew so great that he commanded the sun and moon to stand still, and they obeyed. The Lord honored his command, showing that He is faithful to heed the voice of a man who trusts in Him. Our faith in God’s might allows us to speak to the impossibilities in our lives.

-- Jesus is the ultimate victor. While Joshua's victories were temporary, Jesus came to establish an eternal kingdom. Through His baptism, ministry, and ultimate sacrifice, Jesus proved that He is the true high priest who perfected us forever. He is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to fight for His people.

-- Living a sanctified life prepares us for His return. As we approach the end times, characterized by God’s wrath on the unrepentant world, we are called to hold fast to our hope in Jesus. By drawing near to Him, washing ourselves in His righteousness, and assembling together with other believers, we remain under the protection of the blood of the Lamb.

-- The ultimate battle is won by the blood. The final and eternal victory over sin and death comes through the blood of Jesus. The book of Revelation shows us that while the world will face judgment, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
