Promise Land

Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

Joshua is one of my favorite characters in the Bible.  He was bold, he was enthusiastic about God, and almost always saw the glass as half full.  He was my kind of guy.  The type of person I could see myself being friends with.  Let’s find out who he was and what God commissioned him to do!

The first time we meet Joshua in Scripture is when he came back from the land of giants with his friend Caleb.  Caleb said, “We can take those guys, no problem!”  That’s me paraphrasing it, of course!  There were 12 spies that went out and Joshua was one of two who came back believing they could go forward and overtake the land.  (Read Numbers 13:26-33)

Then we see Joshua is mentioned again a little later for the condition of his heart.

“Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years old or more who came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob– not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord, wholeheartedly.” (Numbers 32:11-12)

Pressing Onward

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14, AMP)

There was no greater victory in history, then the victory of the cross.  God triumphed over death by raising His Son to life.  Through this one act, we now can experience victory in our own lives.  Today, we have a choice…  run with victory in mind or stand defeated.  Will you chase after the victory that is yours in Jesus Christ?

Top Ten Secrets to Spiritual Breakthrough

  1. The Word of God ~ Honestly, I can’t make it through anything without the power of God’s Word.  His Word refreshes me, strengthens me, and renews my hope on a daily basis!

Victorious Breakthrough

but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57, AMP)

I want to share with you the secret to my joy through the trauma I experienced.  I don’t want you to think that I just easily overcame it.  That somehow it disappeared or that I’ve walked out these last few weeks trauma free.  That would not be true!  I’ve had moments where I broke down and cried.  Moments where I asked the question “Why?”  Moments where it was tough to find joy.  But one thing I have learned over and over again…  I have a choice on where to place my focus!

I can fix my eyes on the Lord or I can fix my eyes on my circumstances.  I can replay the events of yesterday over and over again or I can trust God with the next event of my life.  I can look back and wonder why or look forward and think why not?  I can stay in the trauma and mourn the loss of a few moments or fix my eyes on Jesus and all the moments God has yet to give me.

Victory or Defeat

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.  Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2)

There was no greater victory in history, then the victory of the cross.  God triumphed over death by raising His Son to life.  Through this one act, we now can experience victory in our own lives.  Today, we have a choice…  run with victory in mind or stand defeated.  Will you chase after the victory that is yours in Jesus Christ?
