Intro

I remember it like it was yesterday. I had 73 days left til graduation…40…17…day of. All grades were in, magna and summa had been ruled out, highschool ring, cap and gown. What a day!
3.5 months later I left. I was packing and preparing for a new season in life. I was going to college. I’d learned how to study. The value of hard work.
Because of the new season. There were some new rules.
I was use to telling mama where I was going. I asked the GR what time to come back. He laughed at me.
Pt: I had to learn the rules for the new season…my season had SWITCHED.
You can’t make it in the new season playing by old season rules!
Context: The Israelites are experiencing a shift. They’d been doing the same thing for so long with a promise floating their head and suddenly the time for the manifestation of the promise is finally here!
They left Egypt 40 years ago.
They learned how to be mobile in the wilderness-
put the tent up, take the tent down-
they learned how to work and live together-
they discovered the synergy of their tribes. -
They’d been fed supernaturally w quail and manna.
NOW, an entire new way of living is just over the ridge. They knew what it was going to look like. Before there was Google maps or high powered telescopic cameras, there was God. God’d told them via Moses what the good life was like.
Deuteronomy 6:10–11 NKJV
10 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, 11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—when you have eaten and are full—
And now, just over the heal the long awaited, multi generational promised land is waiting for the weary and worn travelers.
NOW, an entire new way of living is just over the ridge. God’d told them via Moses
And now, just over the heal the long awaited, multi generational promised land is waiting for the weary and worn travelers.
But wait a minute…/they can’t go in their promise with the potential of the past fresh in their view. God is using this moment to reprogram them and prepare them for what He’s intended to be their best life. But before
To Prevent Derailing their future, God puts a deal breaker.

SWITCH VOICES folk/friends/family

Joshua 5:6 NKJV
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”
josh
all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed (destroyed), because they did not obey the voice of the Lord
If you aren’t saying what He’s saying, SWITCH
what does obedience produce?
The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), .
Deuteronomy 30:9–10 NKJV
9 The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, 10 if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
App: If this isn’t enough reason to Switch voices, I don’t what is!!!
Long life - if you have voices in your life that are from the wilderness you’re playing with the length of your life

If you don’t SWITCH VOICES there will be no VISION

vs. 6 because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us,
because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that gHe would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us,

---the power of people that say the wrong thing to you.
look what you won’t see…the good life!!!!
Deuteronomy 30:9–10 NKJV
9 The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, 10 if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
I’m going to send what you need to make what you want grow!!!!
Joshua 5:6 NKJV
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”
josh
******highlight the word “obey”
we don’t understand the power or reason that we should obey. We’re too busy trying to do it on our own that we ignore that God . You’re counting and calculating and all God has to do is release it.
Leviticus 26:3 NKJV
3 ‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,
Leviticus 26:3–5 NKJV
3 ‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, 4 then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
Lev

Your SWITCH is predicated on your REVISION

**********************************************************
Deuteronomy 30:9–10 NKJV
9 The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, 10 if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deut 30:
change some things
Isaiah 1:19 NKJV
19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;
Is 1:
The promise remains. He promised it . (1700 BC) Isaiah comes on the scene in 800 BC and the promise of obedience remained. If you you want your switch to come, try obeying!!!
-if I’d spent 40 years walking around and I knew that the promise was in front of me, I’ll unfriend folk, block them on FB, change my number, cut ‘em off, whatever! It’ll last as long as you need it.
expose on “land flowing with milk and honey”
**********************************************************
Explain the purpose behind the circumcision. Gilgal it’s the dealing with flesh. App: God is not going to allow you into the PL until w your flesh.
it was a sign of covenant. it was God’s idea. it differentiated from those that weren’t in covenant
Joshua 5:5 NKJV
5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
Joshua 5:7 NKJV
7 Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
What’s wrong w getting a little on the side? Everybody does it. We have an open relationship.

SWITCH from VICTIM to VICTOR

Some stuff has to vacate
Joshua 5:8 NKJV
8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.
josh
You wont’ see the switch until you realize what was there isn’t.
Nobody knew it but Joshua.
App: I came to announce to folk that have been obedient, living right, going through the process No More Shame!!!!
What you think is there really isn’t.
Joshua 5:9 NKJV
9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
josh 5
This process wasn’t like circumcision.
“Because they did the hard thing, i’m going to deal with the harder thing.”
Could it be Self that’s delaying the SWITCH by SELF won’t forgive SELF
It was the dealing w the flesh that the shame got dealt w.
Announcement: For every person that’s put in the work, God’s removing the shame. Dealt w your past, God’s removing the shame. Went to the counseling sessions, God’s removing the shame. Went through the grief process, God’s removing the shame.
Tell somebody SWITCH
I use to be that way but I’ve switched. I slept w them, but I’ve switched. I use to live in the club but I’ve switched.

Your SWITCH VICTUALS

What you cook

Joshua 5:11 NKJV
11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day.
Joshua 5:12 NKJV
12 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.
Their kitchen got upgraded 1) unleavened bread 2) parched (roasted) grain

Where you look

manna and quail would be lying on the ground in the morning. “Stop looking down”
I will lift up my eyes to the hills

Close

SWITCH your FOCUS
vs. 12 “and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.”
The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), .
“God there has to be more here. It’s not just about them.”
Then I let my else fall down the page. The heading in my Bible is “The Destruciton of Jericho.”
Joshua 6:1 NKJV
1 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.
You can’t fight a Promised Land battle with Wilderness People!!!!
The only way you’re going to do the impossible is if you SWITCH
