In Exodus 13:17, God would not leave His people near the land of the Philistines, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt” (NKJV). Like the children of Israel, many believers today prefer to remain in captivity rather than face the responsibility and demands of battle. Sadly, …
Spiritual warfare means holding tirelessly to the power of Christ’s finished work and remaining steadfast against any attack from the position of strong confidence until victory is won. In time, we will begin to recognize the plans of our enemy as he tries to threaten us. The Holy Spirit within us will spring up with …
Our faith and energy can be absorbed when our focus is turned from the power strengtheners to power stealers. Once a man had an opportunity to ask a lion trainer a question he had held for many years. As a boy going to the circus, the man had watched the trainers in the cage with …
The battle and spiritual struggle for control in our lives is waged in the arena of our souls. Notice in First Peter 2:11 it says, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” The strength of Satan’s kingdom is sin. Through temptation and the strong …
Great victories can only come out of great conflict. The very thought of winning implies a conflict or battle. In our Christian living we cannot be naive about the dangers we face. Jesus gave us this clear warning: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world …
People who do not have God’s vision are not bothered by their lack of discipline. They have no dream. But those who, through Jesus Christ, have obtained insight into the mysteries of life choose to walk under the guidance of God’s influence. They are the people who will not fail to fulfill any of God’s …
Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” In this scripture, vision takes on two vital aspects. First, it is vision of our redemption. Joshua instilled within God’s people the confidence that the Lord would fight for them and deliver them from every enemy. They were God’s nation of conquerors. In the …
Through maintaining a deep and intimate communion with God we have the assurance of victory upon victory. We have the Spirit of God to overcome any obstacle or challenge. The same spiritual principles that clearly brought Joshua into the inheritance of his dreams have never altered. They will keep us on course as well. Joshua …
The third principle Joshua pursued to receive victory upon victory is a deep confidence in God’s faithfulness to His promise. In Joshua 21:45 from the Berkeley version, notice what is written: “Of all the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel, not one failed; they were all fulfilled.” Again from …
Joshua’s victory went far beyond his own ability. He continued to march onward to conquer every enemy with increased assurance. His successes would not come through human effort alone. He had become thoroughly convinced that he was not limited to his own strength. Instead, he had access to God’s limitless power. There were three underlying principles …
