*We’ve been teaching on the subject of* *absolute victory* *and* *for the past two weeks* we’ve been *looking at Joshua* *and* the *qualities* that *he demonstrated* in his life.
*These qualities* are what *enabled him to walk in victory*.
*God is not a respecter of persons*, *so if we began to walk in these qualities* *then we to will have victory*.
*I) **The qualities that Joshua had* in his life *we’re* *1st*, *LOYALTY*, *STABILITY*, AND *FAITHFULNESS*.
*A) **2nd* he had *PERCEPTION*, *SENSITIVITY and* an *UNDERSTANDING *of *SPIRITUAL THINGS and* *SPIRITUAL WARFARE*.
*1) **3rd* Joshua *made time to be alone with the Lord*.
*2) *And *No.
4* Joshua had the *courage to act boldly in faith*.
*a) **Faith* is only *based on the Word* of God.
*(i) **Joshua had God’s direction*, *but* he *also* *had* the *courage to act boldly* on it.
*B) **Before* *Israel* *could* ever *cross the Jordan* *and* *enter* into the *promise land* they *had to do rid of the doubt and unbelief*.
*1) *They *had to* begin to *see themselves as conquerors*.
*a) **Going back 40 years*, the *children of Israel* *were* about *to take the promise land*, *but* *10 of the 12 spies* whom Moses sent out, *came back with the evil report*.
*b) *That *evil report said*, *“We are not able to take the land.
There are giants in the land.
We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”*
*2) **Before* the children of *Israel* *could ever be victorious* *in* the *promise land* they *had to overcome* that *grasshopper mentality*.
*a) **Israel** wandered* in the wilderness *40 years to get the unbelief out*.
*3) **Turn* with me *to Joshua chapter 4*.
*In this chapter* the children of *Israel* *crossed over the Jordan River* *into the promise land*.
*a) *Look at *Joshua 4:19*.
*4) **Just prior to this* the children of *Israel* *still had that* *“Grasshopper Mentality.”*
*a) **Even though* they had been *freed* *from Egypt* for *40 years*, they *still thought like slaves*.
*b) *Up until this point, *they saw themselves as* *inferior* *and* *not as conquerors*.
*5) **But something happened*.
Look at *Joshua 5:9*.
*a) **No longer* *were they going to see themselves as Egypt’s slaves*, *but now* *they’re going to see themselves as servants of the Most High God*.
*(i) **Not inferior* *but* *God’s chosen people*.
*Not defeated* *but conquerors*.
*b) **The way you see yourself* *is what you will become*.
*(i) **We need to see ourselves* *in the light of God’s Word*.
*(ii) **See yourself the same way the Word says you are*.
You’re the *head* *and not the tail*, above only and not beneath.
*(iii) **The way you see yourself* *is what you’ll be* *and* *what the world will see you as*.
*c) *Turn to *Proverbs 23:7*.
*(i) *The Word *“HEART”* in this verse would be better-translated *“SOUL.”*
*(ii) *I like how the *NAS Bible* translates it.
It says, *“For as he thinks within himself, so he is.”*
*(iii) **However you see yourself* *that is what you become* *or are*.
*(iv) **See yourself the way God sees you*.
*II) **Joshua 5:13-6:2*.
*A) **This was God’s promise of victory*, and you know the rest of the story.
They were totally victorious over the city of Jericho.
*1) *For them *to get* the *victory* *they had to see themselves* *as conquerors*.
*2) **They had to see themselves in the light of God’s Word*.
*B) *This is the *5th* *quality* that *Joshua had* *and that* *was TO SEE HIMSELF AS A CONQUEROR*.
And that *same anointing* was *passed down to the people*; *they began to see themselves as conquerors*.
*III) *The *victory* that Joshua had over Jericho was *spectacular and amazing*.
*A) **When you follow God* the way Joshua followed him, *you too are going to see spectacular and amazing results*.
*B) *The right after Joshua’s victory over Jericho, *Joshua tried to accomplish the will of God on his own*.
*1) *Right after Jericho, he went to the *city of AI* and was *defeated*.
*a) **We can’t let our past victories* *go to our head by thinking that were so great* *and* that *we did it by ourselves*.
*2) *In (*Joshua chapter 7*) *Joshua sent out spies* to *checkout* the city of *AI*.
When the *spies returned* they came back *with* a *good report*.
*a) *The *report* that they *came back* with was that the *city* *was easy to take*.
*b) *So they *chose* about *3000 men* *to go against* the city that *AI*.
*3) *Look at *Joshua 7:4-5*.
*a) **What happened?*
*b) **God never said, “GO.”*
*c) **Joshua never sought the Lord if Israel should go into battle* against Ai.
*(i) **After* their *attack* on Ai *failed*, *Joshua began to seek the Lord why*.
*4) **Sin was the reason* *for* Israel’s *defeat* at Ai
*a) **After Israel defeated* the city of *Jericho* *all the riches of Jericho* *was to go to God*, but *Achan* *kept some for himself*.
*(i) **Because of that sin* *Israel did not see the move of God*.
*C) **Before Israel* ever *crossed through the Jordan River, Joshua told* the *Israelites* *something very significant*.
*1) *This was a *revelation* that *Joshua had* *and* it is a *key to victory*.
It’s a *key* *to see the power of God move* in our lives.
*2) *Look at *Joshua 3:5*.
*a) *The word *“SANCTIFY”* means *“TO BE SET APART*, *CONSECRATED* and *TO BE HOLY.”*
*b) **If we want to see victory* *and* *the power of God moving* in our lives *we have to sanctify ourselves*, that means *TO BE SET APART FROM THE WORLD* *and* TO *LIVE A HOLY LIFE*.
*(i) **If we want to see God move* *we cannot be a friend of the world*.
*We have to live a life that is separate and Holy*.
*IV) **These are some of the qualities* that *Joshua had in his life* *that gave him the victory*.
*A) **1st* there was *LOYALTY, STABILITY, AND FAITHFULNESS*.
*1) **2nd* he had *understanding of spiritual things and spiritual warfare*.
*2) **3rd* he *took the time to be along with the Lord* in prayer and in worship.
*3) **4th* he had the *courage to act boldly on the Word* of God *in faith*.
*4) **No.
5* he *knew that DOUBT AND UNBELIEF had no place in the life of a CONQUEROR*.
*He had to see himself* *through the eyes of God* *as a CHAMPION*, *CONQUEROR* and *VICTORIOUS*.
*5) *And *No.
6* *Joshua knew* *the importance of LIVING A HOLY LIFE*.
*a) **A life with sin in it* *meant defeat* *or* very *little* *success*, *but those that walk a holy life* before the Lord *can walk in ABSOLUTE VICTORY*.
