- The Lord was angry- a hedge was broken in Israel
- Joshua, the leader, wasn't aware
- The Lord permitted the people of AI defeat Israel
- Joshua did not accept defeat
- He knew something was wrong
- He tore his clothes
- Refused to eat
- He layed face own before the ark of the Lord
- He sought God's face, asked questions and got answers
- He carried out instructions.....problems solved!
Some Christians today
- A hedge is broken
- Trouble comes into he man's house
- He starts running helter skelter, from church to church, person to person
- He gets tired tired and trouble bears root
- He cries from time to time, excuses the trouble at other times
- Confesses it is well and does nothing
- The devil feasts on his ignorance
- He lives wondering if God is angry with him
- He starts believing that the sickness or trouble is there to teach him a lesson
- All the while never seeking God's face and never addressing the issue
When we have Jesus?
Joshua and all the prophets of the old testament did not have the covenant we have now. They were not called sons, yet they operated in the kind of divinity that most of us shy away from today.
In Jesus, we have the FULLNESS of life. We have everythibg under our feet. He who created the whole world is our Father and He said we are joint heirs with Jesus.
Make up your mind to operate at the level of Christ's authority in 2016. Decide to seek God's face, decide to walk with God, know him more and you will be amazed at how your life will pan out.
Enter 2016 in style. Happy New Year!!
