Experiencing the Life,
​Changing Lives

Taking Possession of the Land

10/6/2018

 
Joshua 18:3
  • After the spies' report Joshua with the other Israelites were wandering in the desert for 40 years.
  •  The promise of the land was for the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob (Gen. 12:6-7 "To your offspring I will give this land").
  • Israel would continue to struggle with the evil practices and influence of those former inhabitants.
  • God wanted Israel to cut loose and drive out all of them (24:2-3).
  • After entering the promised land, at the assembly at Shiloh Joshua asked the people, "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?" (Joshua 18:3) The following verses tell about a strategic plan of taking the land: Let the people choose their leaders; Give them clear job descriptions; then, they go and together took possession of the land.

  • What promises are there for us today? How can we know them?
  1. We need to study the Word closely (Start with 1 John 1:8-10 "confessing our sin" is where the Christian life starts).
  2. We need to have the peace of Jesus (John 14:27). Do we have the assurance and peace of going to heaven if we died now?
  3. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak the Word boldly. This way we can closely connect with Jesus and have the Holy Spirit manifest Jesus in us.
So, what to do?
  • Like Joshua, Be decisive and obedient.
