The tireless effort they give to their goal.
Show the picture of Jericho
Today we come to the part in scripture where Joshua and the people of Israel have crossed the Jordan River and they have come into the Promised Land where they are about to face their greatest battle.
The city of Jericho.
What made this the greatest battle, is not because it was their first battle, its not because it was the people of Jericho were giants, or had the most powerful army.
It was the greatest because Jericho had the greatest fortification.
The walls of the city were impenetrable.
Archaeologist have excavated ancient Jericho and found that the walls were thrown down by sudden force.
They found charred wood where the city had been burned
and food supplies that show that the city was wasn’t captured by siege.
What do you need to Conquer
Show the picture of Jericho
This city was a stronghold.
an impenetrable freak of nature.
Today we are going to be dealing with strongholds those things that rise up and defy or try to defy the things of God.
The key to victory is similar to what Joshua experience right before this battle.
He encounters the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now I know that this man that has his sword out is the Lord Jesus and not just an angel because of Joshua response , and the Commanders response to His response.
Joshua falls down and worships, and the Commander of the Lords army didn’t stop him.
There are other places in scripture like
Rev 22:
-
You need to understand that the battle is the Lord’s and your proximity and your intimacy with him will determine rather you thrive or die spiritually.
Sin has its pleasuers, but my oh my how they are temporatr
If you feel like you are stuck in a rut, spiritually are in life in general listen up because I have some things that I need to speak to you.
In a book by John Eldredge He wrote about four things converging today inside the church that when all four take place, the church will begin to take ground and thrive.
The Four Streams
Stream #1 Discipleship
I wish that i could share my ex
Last week we visited and looked at the great commission.
Jesus commanded his followers to go out into the world and make disciples.
The word Disciple sounds radical, right?
And we live in a culture where that is almost like a bad word.
Liek man that guy is just radical....
The picture is like a guy on the street corner telling people to turn or burn.
But can I tell you that is not a what a disciple is, that a perversion formulated by the devil for the express purpose to scare you off
What is a disciple?
Sin deforms us, the world wants to conform us, but Jesus transforms us
And if you are heaven born, and heaven bound.
You have work to do, a Father to enjoys and weapons to discover.
When people are restored to the Father through the Lord jesus Christ.
you are set free, and not only set free but given life by the Holy Spirit.
But there are some enemies today from disciple making… First the assault comes from the religious crowd
Hardened Minds
The snare of legalism-
I know plenty of people who have turned to Christ, but then they turn back to the law, and reduce whats is supposed to be this glorious relationship into rigid rules, and liberty gets taken captive by legalism.
Listen we have great hope in Christ.
And discipleship is not meant to drive you into bondage, it is to take you out of bondage.
And discipleship get whittled down to reason and just making good decisions, and it leaves the whole learning how to wakl with God thing out.
2 Corinthians 12
And when you leave it all, you walk away from your fishing nets like the disciples did, it may cost you everything, but you are going to get back so much more.
Oh if I could just tell you how much pleasure there is in walking with the Lord.
Oh how I wish I could tell you how good it is when I am filled with the Spirit of God and He is speaking and directing my life.
Oh how wicked and evil it is when people start preaching a legalism that leads to religious bondage.
When you start placing burdens on peoples shoulders and aren’t willing to lift them yourself, you are being a legalist.
When you start to add rules to God’s rules you are being a legalist.
When you use truth as a club instead of a key that frees them you are being a legalist.
But listen this is where you have to then be skilled and pull back the reigns, and don’t get to far out there.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t any rules.
And it doesn’t mean that we yoke up with darkness either.
Listen there is evil.
There is a clear sense of right and wrong.
We mu
2 Corinthians 3:15-
THE BLINDED MIND
THE BLINDED MIND
But there is another enemy to discipleship....
Not only is there the Hardened mind, oH NO YOU DON’T WANT TO HAVE A HARDENED MIND, OR BECOME A HARDENED PERSON IN GENERAL.
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER ENEMY OF THE DISCIPLE PROCESS AND THAT IS THE BLINDED MINDS.
But we are living in a world of Blinded minds....
2 CORINTHIANS 4:1
LISTEN we are living in a world of blinded minds.
This is another faction of the lost.
The other group was religious and lost.
But this group is non religious and lost.
And in their case the god of this world, speaking of the devil has blinded their minds.
Listen when you see a man or a woman openly scoff at the gospel or at the Bible, what you are seeing is someone that has the devils initials carved on their heart.
And listen don’t htink that being a disciple means that you are here to please everyone and make everyone happy.
Listen people without Jesus are going to do what people without Jesus are going to do.
They are going to preach a tolerance to every form of soin and perversity and then label you a biggot when you preach the gospel.
it’s going to happen, just get ready..
he has brought us out of darkness into the light.
And you can still love people and tell them that they are wrong, and that God will judge those things.
You can in love warn people about a hell. in fact you are not walking in love if you skip that detail out.
Listen there is a hell to shun, and a heaven to gain.
Thats iksThe message that Jesus came preaching is still in effect today, repent and believe in the gospel.
The gopsel not only sets men and women free, but it also causes them to behave.
The point of discipleship is to teaach you to work with God.
It is not to teach you to be a better church member.
It is not to brow beat you when you don’t make it too service, or some of you make it to service on time.
