-Faith in God-
Part 3 of 3. Here we are and here we go! Faith in God will bring remarkable, extraordinary, impressive things into existence. The priests went and stood in the river. At the Jordan River, the waters parted, as they had for Moses at the Red Sea. Joshua 4:24 “He (the Lord God) did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.” We have something in common with Moses and Joshua…faith in God! Be certain that when you listen and follow His lead, He will do amazing things in…

-Faith in God-
Part 2 or 3. Have you been at a familiar setting but the time period made it seem so different between this moment and the last? Crossing the Red Sea proved to be a surge of power from God that the Israelites would never forget. Now they stand at another edge of water waiting to see another water wall emerge. In Joshua 3:5, Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Wow. This is a statement built on faith in God! Surely the people had to remember this pattern (consecrate, commemorate, celebrate) with Moses after the Lord brought them out of Egypt,…

-Faith in God-
Part 1 of 3. Have you been standing at a place of “new beginnings” that looks like the story’s end? Could it be that the reason it appears to end is because it is in fact, the final part of something? “…You are to move out from your position and follow” the Lord’s leading “since you have never been this way before.” (After the death of Moses, Joshua and the people had to get ready to cross the Jordan. Moses was done leading and Joshua was finished being an aide; he now had to take the lead in following the Lord’s specific instructions. As Joshua got orders from the Lord,…

A Surge of Power
Windmill wind generates power. Being a machine that runs on the energy rotated by the wind, it’s structured to use power of flowing air to produce electricity or pump water. I think of God as the Ace of the Air…using every resource for His purposes. Do you need God to create a surge of power in your life right now? He doesn’t just generate power; He is power. God won’t leave us in the dark. I love when He allowed a power surge for the enemies of the Israelites… “The Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind. The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground with…

Principalities not people
I don’t feel qualified to teach this subject at this moment. What a great way to start a blog post, right? Eek! Working and living with people is messy sometimes and we often blame them for even the unseen struggles that are trying to stop us in every possible way. If you feel unliked or unwanted, remember this… There is a “vast array of evil and malicious spirits who make war against the people of God.” However, Col. 2:15 teaches us that Christ has triumphed over all other powers! Just as soon as you “get rid of” that person, there will be another and another. Spirits jump. They hide. They…
