*We’ve been teaching on* the subject of *victory* for *several weeks* now and *I want continue along those same lines* *and* *pick up where we left off last time*.
*I) **Last time* we *ended while looking at* the life of *Joshua*.
*If we pick up some of the qualities* that *Joshua demonstrated* in his life, *it will make it much easier* for us *to walk in victory*.
*A) *In *(Exodus 24:12-15)* *God called Moses* to come up *to the mountain* *to receive the Commandments* for the nation of Israel.
*1) **Moses took Joshua* with Him *but as Moses started to ascend up the mountain* *he left Joshua on the slopes*.
*2) **Joshua remained* *on the slopes* for *40 days* *and* *40 nights*.
*a) **He could have returned back to camp*.
After all *he must of felt* like he was *forgotten and unimportant*.
*(i) **Sometimes we feel forgotten* *and when we do* *we have a tendency to go back into what we came out of*.
*(ii) **That would be like going back to Egypt* *and* back under *bondage*.
*b) **Joshua did the right thing*, *instead of going backwards*; *he remained faithful* *in doing what the Lord gave him to do* *no matter what*.
*c) **We need more Joshua’s today*.
*3) **Really* *we can see* *2** qualities* that *Joshua* *had in his life*, and *these 2 qualities* are *so very important to God*, and *they are* *STABILITY* (in Him and His Word) and *FAITHFULNESS*.
*II) *Now *when Moses came down the mountain* *he heard music* *coming from the camp*.
The children of *Israel* were in the midst of *worshipping the golden calf*.
*A) **When Joshua heard the* sound of *music* coming from the camp *he said*, *“There is a noise of war in the camp.”*
(Exodus 32:17)
*1) **Moses dismissed that thought*, *but there was* *truly a war going on that day*, *it was a spiritual battle*.
*2) *The *3rd* *quality* that *Joshua possessed* *was an understanding of spiritual things**.*
*a) **Without it* *he would have never been able to conquer the Canaan land* *and* *walk in victory*.
*3) **(Ephesians 6:12)* Says, *“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”*
*a) **1 translation says,** “We struggle not against flesh and blood...”*
*b) **Our struggles are not with flesh and blood, but as Paul says our problems come from the Spirit realm.*
*(i) **There is a battle going on* and it is *a spiritual battle*.
*(ii) *We need to *be aware of the enemy’s spiritual strategies*.
*(iii) **If the church as a whole had not overlooked this area** many tragedies would have been avoided.*
*(iv) **Families could have been restored, marriages could have been healed, individuals could have avoided bondages, and many more could have been saved.*
*c) *Paul said in *(2nd Corinthians 2:11),* *“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
It’s a spiritual battle.”*
*(i) **But what is implied in this verse*, *is that* *if we are ignorant of his devices* *Satan will have an advantage over us*.
*(ii) **And if he continues* to have an advantage, *he will have victory* over us.
*So* we need to *be aware of his schemes* and tactics.
*(iii) **One of Satan’s spiritual attacks* against us *is to get us into* *strife and unforgiveness*.
*If he can do that* *he will likely have the victory* and *we’ll have to defeat*.
*d) **Be aware of Satan’s tactics and rise up with the authority* *of God’s Word* *and* *bring* the *presence of the H.S*. *into the picture*, and *things will begin to change*.
*B) *In *EXO 33* we see another part of *Joshua’s character*.
*(4th)*
*1) **After* the *destruction* of the *golden calf* *and* the *execution of the **rebels*, *Moses* again *separated himself to meet with God*.
*a) *He had a *special tent* where he entered to *seek God* and *God’s presence would move into the tent*.
*2) *Look at what happened in *EXO 33:9-11*.
*a) *Here we see *another quality in Joshua’s life*, *which was essential for him to have* in order *to walk in* total *victory*.
*b) **Saints of God*, *if you want to walk in total victory* *like the victory Joshua had*; *you need to find time alone with the Lord*.
*c) **Joshua separated himself* from the people *to be in* total *unity* *with the Lord*.
*d) **Joshua demonstrated *his *loyalty and devotion to God*.
*He chose to stay where God would manifest His glory* *and His presence*.
*e) **The qualities **in Joshua’s life **are different than most people.*
*(i) *He was *not going to be swayed by pressure or opinions of others*.
*He would remain where he could hear the voice of God **and* then *move in accordance **with what God said*.
*(ii) **We need*, more than ever, *a **renewed dependence on God’s Word*.
*III) *Well, *after wondering in the wilderness* for *40 years* *it was time for Joshua to take over* as the leader of the children of Israel.
*A) **For them to get out of the wilderness*, their *unbelief and wrong thinking had to go*.
*1) *That’s the *same for us*.
*Many times people will **feel* that *they’re going through a wilderness*.
*It could be brought on by* *unbelief* *or **wrong thinking*.
*a) **If that’s the case* *the only way to get out of it* *is* *through faith and bringing into captivity every thought* to the obedience of Christ.
*2) **There are some definite steps **that you have to take to get out of bondage and the wilderness and stay out.*
*B) **After* the children of *Israel* were *delivered* *from the bondage of Egypt*, *they went to the wilderness*.
*1) *In *(ROM 15:4)* it says, *“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”*
*a) *Things that are written in the *O.T.* are *for our learning*.
*2) **Sometimes* *when we get out of bondage* *victory comes gradual*.
*a) **The Israelites went from Egypt* (*bondage*) *to* the *wilderness* *from the wilderness* *to the Canaan land* *and* *from Canaan to victory*.
*3) **EXO 3:18*
*a) **1 of the* *1st* *things* that *the Lord told Moses* *was to request of Pharaoh* *that the Hebrews would be allowed to travel to Mount Sinai to worship God*.
*b) **If you want to come out of the **wilderness**, if you want to come **out of bondage**, or the **storms of life**, **out of the trials** **and** out of the **dry places** **you have to be a true worshiper of God.*
*(i) *The *1st* *step* to *getting out of** a wilderness* is to *be a worshipper*.
*(ii) **Jesus said* in *(JOHN 4:23)* that *the Father seeks true worshippers* *to worship Him in truth and in spirit*.
*C) *The *2nd* thing that the children of Israel *needed to **see* was that *God is their provider*.
*1) *God *provided* them with *manna* from heaven and *water from a **rock*; their *clothes **didn’t ware out*.
*a) **To come out **of that wilderness **and to **walk in victory **we have to know that **God is our provider **and that He is our **source.*
*2) **We need to look to God **and **trust Him to meet our needs*.
*a) **PSA 37:3*
*b) *And of course, we *all know* *(PHIL 4:19)* *“My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”*
*D) *The *3rd* thing that *they had to **know **to get out* of the *wilderness* and *into* the *promise land* was the *importance of following God*.
*1) *If you *remember*, *God provided* a *cloud by day* and a *Pillar of fire by night* *to direct their paths*.
*a) **We* too *must learn to follow His leadings* and *allow Him to direct our paths*.
*b) **PSA 23:2-3*
*c) **(PSA 37:23)* *Says, “The steps of a {good} (righteous) man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”*
*IV) **But we just can’t stop there*.
*Sometimes* *we get content in the area of provision* *found in the promise land*.
*In the promise land* *there are still many battles*.
*A) **You may have come along way*.
*You came from* *bondage*, *but found yourself in wilderness*.
*From the wilderness* *you entered into the promise land*.
*But now you need to go on to victory*.
*1) **We need to go to absolute victory*.
*2) *Look at the *1st* thing the *Lord said to Joshua* *when* they were *ready to come out of the wilderness*.
(*After worshiper*, God *provider*, *lead by the Lord*)
*a) **JOSHUA 1:2*
*b) *Now go down to *V 10-11*.
*3) *This was *“Faith for Victory.”*
*a) *This is the *faith that is needed to be a conqueror*.
*“Bold Faith.”*
*4) **(1st JOHN 5:4)* says, *“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”*
*a) **That’s what you need to have, “Faith for Victory.”*
