“Give Me This Mountain”
Joshua 14:6-15
June 9, 2024


Caleb’s Testimony
What he saw with his eyes and what he saw “with his heart” (the Word of God was the difference!) (Joshua 14:7)
The testing of close relationship suffering! (Joshua 14:8)
See Numbers 13:6 – Numbers 14:10, 24
Those in our inner circle can hurt us most: see Jesus; David; Paul
God justified, established and rewarded Caleb in time!

Keys to developing and maintaining a conquering spirit!
“Watch over your heart….” (Proverbs 4:23)
Stay in close fellowship with THE CONQUEROR! (Romans 8:31-38;
2 Corinthians 2:14)
The mind-set of the conqueror is set by the Word! (Joshua 14:6-10) Remember Joshua 1:8, 9 – The encouraging, renewing, correcting, power in the Word! We see ourselves and our situations through His Lens! (Hebrews 4:12; John 6:63)
Beware of allowing the information from the body and the mind (soul) to become my confession, mind-set. The Spirit is our source of Truth!
Stay in a position of Love! Operate by faith, not feelings. (Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6) Faith is your connection to God’s Grace, God’s power. Faith works in the atmosphere of Love! (Galatians 5:6)

✸ “Lord, I confess to You that I am not holding ________________ in a position of love. I repent of that and I will obey You! By faith, as an act of my will, I forgive ________________ and I receive Your Love for ­­­­­­________________.
I believe Your Love is in me by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5) and I receive that love for ________________. Bless ________________ with Your highest and best. In Jesus Name and by His Grace!
AMEN

Beware Of The Unholy Alliance:
Learning Who And What To Trust!
Joshua 9; Joshua 10

Review: Presumptions (failure to consult) leads to defeat! Leads to burdens, maintenance, “drama”, etc.


The Wrong Information (and sources of counsel) lead to WRONG RESULTS!
“There is a way that seems right, BUT…” (Proverbs 16:25)
Example of the disaster of the wrong information: Satan/Adam/Eve;
The spirit of deception often comes in “hard to recognize clothing.” (Matthew 7:15; Joshua 9:3ff: have to raise what is birthed.


The Power (and difficulty) of Waiting!
“Wait on the Lord….” (Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 37:7)
Be slow to “anoint and appoint” (1 Timothy 5:22)
Seek confirmation: internally and externally (The witness of the Spirit and the counsel of trusted others)
The affirmation of 2 or more (2 Corinthians 13:1)


The Great Umpire: The peace of the Lord’s presence and witness!!
(Colossians 3:15)

COMING BACK TO VICTORY!
JOSHUA 8
MAY 19, 2024

è Take away from Joshua 7 and Joshua 8: From “Reeling to Dealing”


è We need the assurance from God of ultimate victory! (Compare Joshua 8:1, 2, 3, 7 with Joshua 7:2-5) (Revelation/Promise vs. Presumption)
• Give “The Keys” back to God!


è Victory in our warfare requires “all out assault” on the enemy!
• “Declare war” (vs. dissention, disorder, disease and debt, etc.)
• Ephesians 6:10-17 – Put on the Whole Armor
• 1 Peter 5:6-9 – “Be alert” …. Resist him”

✸ Our fight must be centered in the Spirit!


è Victory Requires God’s Strength and God’s Strategy!
• Submit to His plan, His timing, His way of operation (Proverbs 3:5,6; James 1:5)
• God knows what to do, how and when to do it! Our part is to Trust and Obey!

The Great Ministry of A Spiritual Mother


She is Developed in her Faith and Relationship with God, even with a broken heart!
She has faced and worked through trials and the testing of her heart!
Elizabeth’s example: Her life events do Not determine her Identity!


She loves and accepts you, right where you are. She is not judgmental and you are safe with her! (Not worried about “how you look” to others; in her presence, you don’t feel judged, rejected, uncomfortable, inferior) (Luke 1:56)


She AFFIRMS and BLESSES you and encourages you in Your life assignments (Luke 1:42-45)


She is blessed, Energized, Strengthened by her Spiritual Children’s Blessings! (Luke 1:41-43)


✸ There are multitudes of teachers, leaders, preachers, ministers …. But not many Spiritual Parents! (1 Corinthians 4:15)

HOW THE ENEMY STEALS YOUR BLESSING:
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!
MAY 5, 2024

è Review: Amazing, Miraculous Victories; Warning

è Joshua 7:1-9: The Trap of Presumption! Rooted in pride, self-reliance.
• Resulted in pain, defeat!
• The poison of personal consumption of that which is Holy (acting like what is God’s belongs to me!) (Joshua 7:10-12)
• We can Turn it over or IT WILL TAKE US OVER! (Joshua 7:13)

è It’s really not about money or stuff, IT’S ABOUT LORDSHIP! (The root issue is unbelief, pride, fear.)

è Breaking the Power of the Devourer!
• Proverbs 3:9, 10
• Malachi 3:8-11

è GOD IS PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW YOU RESPOND TO FINANCIAL LORDSHIP! (James 1:17)
• He said the tithe (tenth is Holy) Leviticus 27:30
• He promised to respond to faithful tithing (open “heaven’s windows”) (Malachi 3:10)
• He will engage the devourer (a personal agent, destroyer) (Malachi 3:10, 11)
• Jesus, Himself, our High Priest, sees and receives our tithes! (Hebrews 7:8)
è HOW?
• Get Desperate for Freedom from Bondage!
• Believe the Promise!
• Obey the Command (Start where you are.)
• TRUST HIM! He can change what you see today! (Ephesians 3:20)

✸ Galatians 3:13 – “Christ has redeemed us from the curse …. Having become a curse for us.”

TAKING YOUR JERICHO: GOD HAS A PLAN FOR THAT!
Joshua 5, 6
April 21, 2024

Review: The Promise; the Assignment; three (3) keys to success; Secret Agents; Fearing God and Following Right Leadership; Memorials

We Must Get our (spiritual) act together! (Joshua 5:2-9) (see, note re spiritual circumcision)
The victory is won in the Spirit realm (Joshua 5:1, Joshua 5:13 – Joshua 6:2)
Practical Obedience is the necessary partner to victorious faith! (Joshua 6:3-25)
Won in the Spirit, walked out in the natural.

The Presence of the Lord, Believed and accessed, honored is the key to approach, engage, and sustain victory! (Priests were agents)
Armed Guards: protection in the natural; allies approved by the Lord (counsel, defense, strength and well-being, etc.)
Prayer Warriors: an extension of Christ’s Intercessory Ministry!

Some perspective on God’s Judgement in the Old Testament times (see notes)



Processing Passages That Reveal God’s Judgement

✸ We Don’t Know …. A Lot!
I.E. How dark the evil, how long the evil, how deep the evil affected the people, the children, the culture.
Issue is not God’s character, it’s our limited understanding
The incredible, destructive results of sin (sin is an assault on God’s nature)
✸ Focus On What We Do Know!
God is Holy, Righteous, Just
God is Loving, Merciful, Kind, Gracious!
God’s patience is far greater than His wrath. Grace is greater than sin!
God’s mercy is extended to the innocent for their eternal lives. (He will grant revelation/light/truth to those who respond to the light they receive.)
✸ Always View God Through The “Jesus Lens”
He is God in visible, perfect expression! (John 14:9; Hebrews 1:3)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

✸ O.T. Circumcision: Sign of spiritual covenant; male reproductive organ, carrier of “seed of life” should bear mark of covenant with God in the reproductive act. (Genesis 17:9-12)
In the New Testament, this side of the cross, circumcision for the believer is internal, a matter of the heart being severed from the old, sinful lifestyle! (Romans 2:29; Philippians 3:3)
