Sustaining Ourselves in the Land
“Stay On Task”
Joshua 3:1-17, Judges 6:10-16
The Supernatural is a divine necessity to step into the Promise Land and Possess all that God has in store for you. Faith is the essential tool to access your God-Given Possessions. Now is the time to go beyond what makes sense to what makes Faith.
- Whatever God is Going to Deliver into your hands must first be declared with your mouth.
- Romans 10:8-13 NIV 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- Speak those things that be not as though they were.
- Romans 4:17 NIV As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
- Out of the mouth floweth life and death
- James 3:10 NIV 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
- WE have to Sanctify Ourselves. All aspects of our life
- You were never designed to go where you can’t see
- Habakkuk 2:1-3 Write the Vision & Make It Plain
- You can only write the Vision by what the Spirit has shown you
- John 16:13 NKJV However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come.
- You only Risk when you haven’t seen it, you’re only taking a risk when you don’t know what’s going to happen.
- The Spirit of Truth will guide your Reality. Faith will be Your Residence
- The Word of God has Enough Power to Change the Facts
- He is my keeper. Preserves me from evil.
- Psalm 121:1-8 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to [a]be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.4 Behold, He who keeps Israel, shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your [b]keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore. When you go into Cana the biggest weapon you have is your words.
- When the Hebrew Boys were thrown into the fire they used their words
- Daniel 3:12-18
- You have to see the end of a thing (Substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen) Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
- Joshua 3:5 And Tomorrow the Lord will do Wonders Among You. How do we walk in Expectation? Declare this is my Moment
- Thank Him and Intentionally ask Him to Cover Your Heart, Mind, and Words
- Walk with the Expectation of Experiencing His Glory & Greater is Coming!
- Magnify Him Where You are at. This shows you trust Him.
- Separate from things that distract you from His Time with You.
- As you lay down, meditate on how you’ve encountered Him throughout the day and lived in His Presence.
A Season for Miracles
- Faith is the Holder of Your Destiny Judges 6:10-16
- Faith is the divine ability that goes beyond our natural realm, that gives you the ability to endure, and give you the power to accomplish your divine agenda. Say I Have the Faith of God!
- Reason deals with facts vs Faith deals with Truth
- John 8:30-36 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
- You have to do what God says. It doesn’t matter what it looks like or what the facts try to say.
- How Does God See Us? Judges 6:12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
- God will take the least and make them the best.
- When God calls you He Anoints you and Qualifies
- The Anointing gives us access to the Supernatural
- How do I receive this by faith? Spend time in the word
- We Overcome the World with It. Deut 9:1-3 “Hear, O Israel: You are to cross over the Jordan today, and go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven, 2 a people great and tall, the descendants of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the descendants of Anak?’ 3 Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you.
- If God is with you there will be some evidence Joshua 2:8-9, Joshua 3:7,14-17
- Took a Miracle to Get us Out and it Takes a Miracle to Keep Us in
- Joshua 5:9 I Rolled Away Your Reproach
- How do you know Joshua 5:10 There is New Food. Information to Revelation, From Intellect to Spirit from God, From God gonna do it to God Has Done It. No more Impossibility Upon this Rock I will build my Church and the Gates of Hell will not Prevail
- Matthew 16:15-19 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not [a]prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth [b]will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
- The only thing that matters is what God Has to Say
- Your Faith is Going to Laugh in the Face of Impossibilities Matthew 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” Do You Believe?
- You can change God’s Plan by your unwillingness to be Obedient
- 1 Samuel 15:10-26

- Hebrews 3:8-19
- Psalm 90:10 AMP The Adults didn’t make it but God kept them alive to raise the children 20 & over. We are the Joshua Generation

- To go into this land Faith is Mandatory
- 1 Corinthians 15:50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
- Flesh and Blood cannot inherit only by grace through faith. Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
- You cannot inherit the Kingdom of God with Flesh. Flesh cannot receive healing. It has to be by Spirit.
- In Galatians 5:18-21 AMP the people were saved but the flesh keeps you out the blessing.
- Spiritual Birth vs Carnal Birth. Must be Born Again. John 3
- It takes faith to get in and it takes faith to sustain you in the land. The Fruit of the Spirit is the Disposition
- Everybody should have something that when you look at it, it gives you more fight. The difference between Faith Walkers and Fear Walkers is your mindset to Perceive. God has called us to take the land but many times this territory is filled with hostile attacks that creates fear, but this is not from God.
- Look at 2 Timothy 1:7 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
- 3 Reasons why we don’t enter the Super Natural
- Tense: We don’t realize God only functions in the NOW not Tomorrow.
- Confess the Same thing as the Word Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
- Human Reason: We have been educated in unbelief. Education trying to get God out of it. Babylon is a system that functions without God. To do this, now you’re at the mercy of time. Time was meant to serve you. Temporal is time, Eternal is already done.
- Outlook is based on where you are looking from, if you’re looking from the wrong place you will see the wrong thing.
- The enemy is after what you believe because what you believe is what you will see and what you see is what you will name. It will change the culture. Adam was designed to build the Kingdom but after falling he birthed an anti-culture and through time it has gotten darker. Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
- No Fear of the Lord: We see the disrespect in the world today with even kids and adults
- No Power in Grace but there’s power in Truth which gives Power to Grace.
- Just Living Good Is Not Going Cut it
- Ananias and Sapphira Acts 5:1-11
- Where there is no condition it will weaken you and your family
- We need the Fear of God Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 15:33
