We are told in Romans 10:17 that Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. We've actually studied that particular verse a few months ago, see link below https://tayibs.com/2019/10/09/faith-comes-by-hearing-and-hearing-by-the-word-of-god-what-does-it-mean/ Every other passage we've been looking at,whether from the Old Testament or the New Testament has been studied in light of Romans 10:17. Today we'll be looking at the significance of Joshua 1:9. I'll invite you to watch the video above in its entirety. References: joshua 1 1 corinthians 15:9-10

0:05
instance that took place in the book of

0:12

0:25
guess two days ago now this whole series
0:29
that I'm doing now it's about faith and
0:31
what it means to have faith and to walk
0:33
and leave by faith so this chapter here
0:37
is gonna even give us even more
0:38
explanation about faith so please follow
0:41
along side my screen and let's get today
0:44
okay so the next thing I want to talk
0:47
about is this the background now after
0:49
Moses death the role of leadership of
0:52
the people of Israel was given to his
0:54
assistant Joshua and he has been
0:56
following like he had been following
0:57
Moses wherever he went so he saw
1:00
firsthand what was happening with Moses
1:02
and he saw the relationship between
1:04
Moses and God at the time so he was
1:06
witness of that and because he was a
1:09
witness of it and because he was chosen
1:11
by God himself he took on the role of
1:14
leadership because he was appointed by
1:16
God to do that so now we're gonna look
1:19
at the verses Joshua 1 verse 1 to 8 and
1:23
we're gonna see what God said to Joshua
1:25
once Moses was dead let's go on to net
1:29
screen and we're gonna read that now God
1:32
Commission's Joshua he says and the
1:35
verse reads after the death of Moses the
1:39
servant of the Lord the Lord said to
1:42
Joshua the son of nun Moses assistant
1:44
Moses my servant is dead now therefore
1:48
arise go over this Jordan you and all
1:52
these people into the lane that I'm
1:55
giving to them to the people of Israel
1:58
every place that the sole of your foot
2:00
would tread upon I have given to you
2:03
just as are promised to Moses from the
2:06
wilderness and it's Lebanon as far as
2:09
the Great River the river Euphrates all
2:12
the land of the heat
2:13
i'ts to the great seat or the going down
2:16
of the Sun shall be your territory no
2:18
man shall be able to stand before you
2:20
all the days of your life just as I was
2:24
with Moses I would be with you I will
2:27
not leave you or forsake you be strong
2:29
and courageous for you shall cause these
2:32
people to inherit the lane that I swore
2:34
to their fathers to give them only be
2:37
strong and very courageous being careful
2:39
to do according to all the law that
2:41
Moses my servant commanded you do not
2:45
refer me to the right hand or to the
2:47
left that you may have good success
2:49
wherever you go this book of the law
2:52
shall not depart from your mouth but you
2:55
shall meditate on it day and night so
2:57
that you may be careful to do according
2:59
to all that is written in it for then
3:02
you will make your way prosperous and
3:04
then you will have good success have I
3:08
not commanded you be strong and
3:11
courageous do not be frightened and do
3:13
not be dismayed for the Lord your God is
3:16
with you wherever you go
3:18
now that we've read the charges the Lord
3:21
gives to Joshua let's ask ourselves a
3:23
couple of questions the first question
3:25
is this if you were Joshua how would you
3:29
feel knowing that God just gave you all
3:32
these charges and his commands and the
3:34
dues and dance and do this Joshua this
3:37
is what I want you to do I want you to
3:38
take the people from here I want you to
3:40
take him over there and I want you to do
3:41
everything that Moses has commanded you
3:44
all these things God is saying to you
3:46
and he's commanding you to do so now
3:49
when I hear these things I'm thinking if
3:52
I was Joshua I'll feel nervous anxious
3:57
overwhelmed with the task at hand not
4:01
sure if I could carry out all the
4:03
domains and the charges because this is
4:04
a lot man he's taking on the role of a
4:07
leader and God is telling him all these
4:09
things to do so Joshua is probably
4:11
feeling like man I don't know if I'll
4:13
get to do this this is too much for me
4:15
this is a lot man this I've seen Moses
4:18
I've seen what God has done Moses in all
4:20
these things and I've seen how Moses was
4:22
I don't know if I can do this so there's
4:24
this fear and this is a healthy fear
4:27
have that to know that this is not a
4:29
easy task God is asking him to do
4:31
something that God knows this is gonna
4:33
be hard work so Joshua is filling all
4:36
the pressure and I'm sure like I said on
4:39
my screen
4:39
all these thoughts went to Josh's mind
4:41
and the Lord who knows man's thoughts
4:44
could sida and he comforts judgment
4:47
verse 9 he said to Joshua have I not
4:50
commanded you God is basically saying to
4:53
Joshua I will give you the strength to
4:56
carry out my desires and do my will and
4:59
Paul mentions something similar in 1st
5:02
Corinthians 15 9 to 10 I want to explain
5:05
what this means because God says to
5:07
Joshua have I not commanded you we need
5:10
to understand why that question that
5:11
question is there have I not commanded
5:13
you
5:13
now Paul says this in first Corinthians
5:16
15:19
5:17
for I am the least of all the Apostles
5:20
unworthy to be called an apostle because
5:23
I persecuted the Church of God but I
5:28
highlighted in red by the grace of God I
5:31
am what I am and His grace toward me was
5:36
not in vain
5:37
on the contrary I worked harder than any
5:41
of them though he was not i but the
5:44
grace of god with me so basically paly
5:47
saying that grace produced the hard work
5:51
in me the love of god the grace the
5:55
faith all that i am what I am by the
5:58
grace of God basically Paul is saying if
6:00
I am here today if I'm to notice work
6:02
that is because of God's grace it's
6:04
because of God's work in me is because
6:07
of what that grace is producing in my
6:09
heart is because of what aggress is
6:11
doing in me through my spirit to empower
6:14
me to do God's will so because I'm
6:17
saying this because what God was saying
6:19
to Joshua is this to sum it up and I'm
6:21
gonna go to the next screen to read that
6:24
this is basically what the Lord was
6:26
telling Joshua when he said have I not
6:28
commanded you in other words he's saying
6:30
Joshua I create what I command so do not
6:34
be worried or anxious for our work in
6:37
you to bring my purpose to fruition
6:40
and this is the rest that the Lord gives
6:42
us through His Holy Spirit yet many of
6:44
us don't get it
6:45
so when Joshua was given all these
6:47
commands when when God was given all
6:49
these commands to Joshua he was
6:51
basically saying this is what I want you
6:52
to do this is the task at hand I want
6:54
you to take it seriously I want you to
6:56
take the people I want you to lead them
6:58
over here and I want you to read my word
7:00
I want you to meditate on my word day
7:02
and night I want you to do this and then
7:05
he gives the punch line have I not
7:07
commanded you basically God is saying to
7:11
Joshua I myself okay I will give you the
7:17
strength I'm gonna try to do this here I
7:19
myself who give you the strength to
7:23
carry out what I command so it's not up
7:25
to you Joshua because I've say the
7:28
command and I will empower you to carry
7:31
out my desires so Joshua do not be
7:34
anxious be strong and courageous because
7:37
I'm gonna produce the courage in you I'm
7:39
gonna produce the strength in you I'm
7:41
gonna produce the desires in you I'm
7:42
gonna produce everything that I desire
7:44
to come to pass I'm gonna give you the
7:47
strength to do though to do so because I
7:49
commanded it and it will happen because
7:51
my word is alive God speaks living words
7:55
so when he was speaking those words to
7:57
Joshua he was basically saying to joshua
7:59
Havanna commanded you I've said it
8:01
Joshua I've said all these things that
8:03
you're gonna do and because I spoke it
8:04
you come to pass so rely on me Joshua
8:09
don't try to do this in your own
8:10
strength this is what God was saying to
8:12
Joshua ivana commanded you I commanded
8:15
it I create what I command the same way
8:17
Paul said I am what I am
8:20
by the grace of God I've worked harder
8:23
than all the Apostles yet not i but the
8:25
grace of god in me
8:27
so the grace of god is what produces
8:28
that by faith so god speaks the word and
8:31
he happens in our heart you understand
8:34
that it's critical that we understand
8:36
that because we have to obey God's
8:38
command well because we obey God's
8:40
commands because when God commands
8:42
something it happens so when God says to
8:45
the woman that was caught in adultery go
8:47
and sin no more she ought to say thank
8:50
you Lord for speaking out in my life
8:52
because now that you've spoken it evil
8:54
ha
8:54
because you spoke living words to me and
8:56
by faith my spirit would take those word
8:59
mi and those where would transform my
9:01
heart to be like you Jesus and this is
9:05
the rest of God he produces their faith
9:08
in us to believe those words and then
9:10
those words take root in our heart and
9:11
we become what God speaks okay so I hope
9:16
this helps you guys out okay have a
9:18
wonderful day and stay blessed thank you
