Iniquity @ Work Series
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why are you down on your face? 11 The Israelites have sinned; they have broken the agreement I commanded them to obey. They took some of the things I commanded them to destroy. They have stolen and lied and have taken those things for themselves. 12 That is why the Israelites cannot face their enemies. They turn away from the fight and run, because I have commanded that they be destroyed. I will not help you anymore unless you destroy everything as I commanded you.
13 “Now go! Make the people holy. Tell them, ‘Set yourselves apart to the Lord for tomorrow. The Lord, the God of Israel, says some of you are keeping things he commanded you to destroy. You will never defeat your enemies until you throw away those things.
The Steps to Loosing It ALL & The One Step to getting it back
The Steps to Loosing It ALL & The One Step to getting it back
First Step: Vulnerability
The Preacher’s Commentary Series, Volume 6: Joshua Scripture Outline
Vulnerability at the Moment of Success
It can happen to the best of us, we experience favor, open doors, grace to get it done, unbelievable growth & elevation. Our name becomes a buzz in the Church community. And Just like that we stop praying, we stop Fasting. Why? because we arrived and forgot who’s car got us here.
lets Ask King David
1 The following spring, at the time of the year when kings usually go to war, David sent out Joab with his officers and the Israelite army; they defeated the Ammonites and besieged the city of Rabbah. But David himself stayed in Jerusalem.
Have you ever gotten so busy you forgot to………….
From Joshua Chapter 1 up to Chapter 6, God was in the forefront of giving the strategy on How his Children was going to take the city..
Two things happened: #1. Josh no longer consulted with God on what to do. #2. The spirit of disobedience entered the hart of one person..
Right Know everyone: let’s pray against the spirit of Vulnerability that would come against our pastors
2nd Step: When We No Longer Pray and Fast for directions
Its an indicator that we have moved away from God and keeping his commandments
I have to be honest, its always been a discipline I have tried to master all my Christian Life. And I have like many Christians, found myself doing Church work but lacked Intimacy with my Savior..
In 2023 God revealed to me how I’ve built an alter at my Tv & Computer.
Like Joshua, as the Leader in my Home and at the Church when my prayer life and fasting life deminished, it opens the door to santanic attacks to those who are close to me.
its time to normalize shut inn’s, 40 day consecration fast besides in January.
In just one victory Joshua no longer consulted God in his war strategy..
But wait, this is the same guy who was mentored by moses. He was with him and saw the dependency Moses had with God.
Its possible that many of us having tasted real success yet, because the Lord is Vetting Our Hart, And right now we ain’t ready……
3.When we No longer Embrace the Doctrine of Holiness & Sanctification
God instructs the Leader to Sanctify the people by commanding him to say sanctify yourselves…
With all the Holy Ghost you have in you.. Tell the person to the left and right.. Sanctify Yourself…
10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
One Man’s Sin = Israel Sinning. Do you think anything has changed?
13 Up, sanctify (set apart for a holy purpose) the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: There are accursed things in the midst of you, O Israel. You can not stand before your enemies until you take away from among you the things devoted [to destruction].
The Lord Told Me To Tell You Sin is In The Camp!!!
The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 7
There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you
The Accursed Thing: Perilous Times
perilous /ˈpɛrɪləs/
■ adjective full of or exposed to danger or risk.

1 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce and difficult for the people of God. 2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.
3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right. 4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.
5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these! 6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin. 7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of truth.
8 8History has given us an example of this with the Egyptian sorcerers Jannes and Jambres, who stood against Moses in their arrogance. So it will be in the last days with those who reject the faith with their corrupt minds and arrogant hearts, standing against the truth of God.
9 But they will not advance, for everyone will see their madness, just as they did with Jannes and Jambres!
10 But you, Timothy, have closely followed my example and the truth that I’ve imparted to you. You have modeled your life after the love and endurance I’ve demonstrated in my ministry by not giving up. The faith I have, you now have. What I have hungered for in life has now become your longing as well. The patience I have with others, you now demonstrate. 11 And the same persecutions and difficulties I have endured, you have also endured. Yes, you know all about what I had to suffer while in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You’re aware of all the persecution I endured there; yet the Lord delivered me from every single one of them! 12 For all who choose to live passionately and faithfully as worshipers of Jesus, the Anointed One, will also experience persecution.
13 But the evil men and sorcerers will progress from bad to worse, deceived and deceiving, as they lead people further from the truth. 14 Yet you must continue to advance in strength with the truth wrapped around your heart, being assured by God that he’s the One who has truly taught you all these things.
15 Remember what you were taught from your childhood from the Holy Scrolls which can impart to you wisdom to experience everlasting life through the faith of Jesus, the Anointed One! 16 Every Scripture has been written by the Holy Spirit, the breath of God. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.
The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 7
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
These Spoils Represent The World system God wanted to destroy everything in the Jericho Culture .
Achan brought what was supposed to be destroyed and planted it into the Israelite Culture.
And the Achan of today are doing the same thing in todays Church.
We have more of the world system in the Church then we ever have.
The way they dress, there music, there Weed, there fornication & adultery. Do I need to go on?
So i just got saved and the Lord delivered me from 15 year drug addiction and I join a church and every Sunday while i am worshiping the smell of weed comes in the room..
I just got saved and the Lord delivered me from sexual addictions and abusive relationships and i join the Church and Deacon Frye is undressing with his looks ..
