Don’t give up
Overcome Jericho
In promised Land
worshiped false god
Overcoming What is on the inside
Instructed to kill everyone who lived in the city except for Rahab & her family
shut up no one in and no one out
b/c she had turned her heart and helped Israel
Josh 6:
Instructed to destroy everything in the city ...
What is good is not what was good but what we have for and the decisions that we make
used for God’s purpose
Getting Rid of What was not good:
There are things in our lives that are toxic that God has called us to destroy
the reason is that if we do not destroy them that they will destroy us and keep us from worshiping God
How do we know what is in need of destruction?
does it enable you to do this?
does watching that show, listening to that song, wearing those clothes, talking with that person, ect.
lead me to worship?
if no then something needs to change
Sometimes that means that something needs destroyed...
might mean that game of thrones is no longer a part of your week
or “Puddle of Mud” might need to be deleted from your downloads
Josh 6:29
serious offence to rebuild what God has taken away
What God
Do not rebuild the things that are were for destruction
Some things were not needed for destruction
to be used for the Lord
someone who loves to sing but used that desire and gift for singing non-Christian songs could convert their desire and gift into singing praises to God
someone who has carpentry skills could volunteer to build a shelter for the homeless
someone who is a good teacher could teach others about Jesus
Someone who is wealthy could use their excess for the good of others or the purposes of God
Joshua
Achan took some of the gold and silver and kept it for himself
this angered God b/c God had said to give it to the treasury
when God speaks for you to do something in your life; you should do it!
But no one knew that Achan had did this and they went about their normal business
Joshua sent men to Ai to defeat another enemy but they did not defeat them
Ai killed 36 of God’s people
Joshua freaks out doubting God and asking Him what is going on
Josh 7:10-
Later they find that Achan has hidden Gold and Silver in the ground under his tent
consequences for disobedience
b/c sometimes we think that we know better than God and that we can keep for ourselves what was to be given to God or not destroy what needed to be taken out of our lives
we will never hide anything from God; can’t outsmart God or trick Him
consequences for disobedience
Cosequences for
We will not continue in God’s blessings until we are living in His direction
2. Our disobedience will not only affect us but also those around us
3. Our disobedience will lead us to the wrath of God
BUT WHEN GOD USES REBUKE FOR OUR GOOD
Josh 7:
remove the things that need taken from your life
transform the things that need to be used for the goodness of God
God set things for destruction
we see and want to have things that God wants to destroy
we take things and then our enemy has control over us because we have not been in obedience to the Lord
we not only struggle ourselves but our family will struggle
