When we come under attack by the enemy, we can tap into the same kind of courage that Joshua demonstrated when he conquered the city of Jericho. An easy way to understand courage is to associate it with a buoyant spirit, the kind of attitude that just will not be put down or made bitter …
The success that Joshua experienced at Jericho demonstrated clearly that he had taken the position as the commander of Israel with an astonishing sense of leadership. There was no question that he was fearlessly following Jehovah’s command. One of the key ingredients of his sweeping success was his courage to carry out even the most …
We move toward our most dominant thoughts. When our thoughts harmonize with God’s Word, His power can work through us. Using mental pictures from God’s Word causes the reality of His promises to lodge deep into our hearts. We must plant the seed of His promise and purposely cultivate it exactly the way a farmer …
Our minds are like a garden. We can cultivate our minds and plant the seeds we want to grow, or we can neglect it and allow the weeds to take over. Either way, it will bring a harvest into our lives. Galatians 6:7 declares a most important truth. Notice the Phillips translation, “A man’s harvest …
When Israel reestablished their covenant of circumcision with the Lord, they returned to God with total abandonment. They didn’t want anything to stand in their way.

Israel’s generation of faithless leaders who had brought an evil report back from the new land eventually passed away. Their remaining years were spent clinging to the desert of unbelief, until their bones were buried there forever. But a new generation had arisen who decided they would no longer be denied what God said belonged …
There are many similarities between the children of Israel’s wilderness experience and our own walk with God. It was when Israel obeyed and followed the Lord that God’s power was released. In the same way, our obedience releases the power of His hand toward our future. In fact, obedience is the guarantee that we can …
Joshua followed in the footsteps of Moses. God’s first words to Joshua after Moses death were significant. He said, “…arise, go over this Jordan” (Joshua 1:2).
