You Have Never Been This Way Before


Listen Later

n this episode, we explore the profound spiritual lesson found in Joshua Chapter 3: "You have never been this way before." We discuss why God sometimes withholds clarity to prioritize our spiritual formation and how to navigate the tension between where you are and where God is taking you.

In this episode, we cover:

The Purpose of the Pause: Why God asks us to "camp" at the edge of our promise, not to delay us, but to ensure we have the strength and alignment to cross over.

Presence Over Pressure: The critical difference between watching the obstacles (the River Jordan) and following the Authority (the Ark of the Covenant).

Consecration as Preparation: Understanding that consecration isn't punishment; it is the act of clearing space in our hearts so we can perceive the new thing God is doing.

Momentum vs. Obedience: Why cultural busyness is not a sign of spiritual faithfulness, and how to avoid the trap of "paralysis of analysis."

The Danger of Familiarity: Learning to keep a reverent distance from the holy so we don't confuse God’s plan with our own nostalgia or past experiences.

Key Moments:

The Paradox of "Now" and "Not Yet": Understanding that we are children of God now, even while our future is still becoming.

Camping Before Crossing: Interpreting the three-day wait at the Jordan River as intentional positioning rather than wandering.

Following the Ark: Instructions on why we must shift our focus from the impossible terrain to the presence of God.

Consecrate Yourselves: The call to clean our spiritual vision because "tomorrow the Lord will do wonders."

Crossing the Threshold: Moving from the waiting room into the "decision zone" where faith requires action.
