I am delighted to be there take your copy of the word of the Lord if you would in turn with me.

Verses 6 through 9 Joshua chapter 1 verses 6 through 9 or going to take a look today at what I could accomplish through Joshua. I want you to think about this that God had promised the children of Israel and Promised Land. He promised him a land flowing with milk and honey Newell, and that will be your land. I want to make a place for you. I have a home for you and I am going to give you this land the man of God may just be a powerful man of God could not get the people into the promised land, but I want you to know what today that God gave Joshua something that we're going to take a look at today. We're going to look at one little piece.

Capital fulfill what God has for him Joshua chapter 1 be strong and courageous your neighbor and tell him that would be courageous because you will need these people to inherit the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. Very courageous. Be careful to obey all of Allah my servant Moses gave you do not turn from it to the right or the left that you may be successful. Wherever you go always with your lips meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then, you know, we'll be out front and successful. Have I not commanded you listen here?

I want you to know today that this is this is not just some preacher who came from the state office. This is not just some encouragement. This is God's Command and Conquer afraid. Do not be discouraged.

For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. I believe in this is one of the most powerful passages and all of the scripture in all of God's word. There are so many incredible Cruise in these three little verses that God has for us these last ones do not be afraid do not be discouraged for the Lord. Your God will be with you wherever you go. You have a destiny today God's Got A Plan for Your Life by 50 on 60 and 70. I'm past the time when God's country does planking be made available for me know your limitations. You have a plan or purpose that God has it's not limited by your age is not limited by your abilities unlimited about anything.

God did not say In this passage be strong and courageous if you're smart. Play me some Phil. I won't tell you what you wanted the three Strangers In this passage.

Come on, 3G. We have the freedom to choose where we go. And how we live in the face of everything that life brings our first choices this will I be strong and courageous or will I be discouraged and Afraid? What will you be? You going to choose? He says be strong and courageous don't choose to be afraid and discouraged. Are discouragement will keep you from the promise of gum. Very discouraged don't keep you from the house of God. Google search that will keep you from the altar. There's no need for me to pay again. I've already prayed about this to pay. It didn't come to past will keep you from everything but he says I don't want you to be afraid. I don't want you to be discouraged. I want you to be courageous because I promised. Jesus what happened the first time they came to inherit God's Destiny for them. They listen to the voice of spirit discouragement. Read this passage Caleb silence. The people before Moses and said we should go up and take possession of the land for we can certainly good but the man who had gone up with him said we can't attack those people. They are stronger than we are. They spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land that they had explored the land. We explored devours those living at all. The people that we saw there of great size. We saw the Nephilim there The Descendants We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes. And we looked the same to them big talk and sells alcohol the promise of God. What are you talkin yourself at? Why you talking your why you allowed the enemy?

That's not going to happen in your life. No, don't let the voice of fear and discouragement. Cute from the promise of discouragement spread of bad report about what's going to happen in your life. You see the truth of the matter is if they had obeyed the first time that God sent then they would have conquered the land instead of fear and discouragement causing them to wander in the

Come on. Now if we will talk ourselves out of the promise. How do I get your daughter sale me now.

Which set of the promises of God? Self of the promises God has for you. I want you to see in this passage that there were three times that God said to them that they had to choose to be strong and courageous. First of all because they had a destiny. God has a purpose for them. You know as well as a little kid. I was up. About 12 years old when God called me in a Ministry. And I am not an extrovert to be honest with you. I'm an introvert, but I find it hard to meet new people. It's a difficult for me to pull up into the parking lot and I sit in my car for 45 minutes and I'm sick help me Jesus help me to go in and meet new people help me to go in and and and and love people that meet people and I don't you see the cuz that's my name. But that's not the call of God was bigger than my nature power about the call of God put upon my life. And God said I want to do something through you and with you. I've got the water to Ellicott City. Would you like to be strong and courageous? You have a destiny? We use the term calling and your destiny. You're calling the courage to pick up. Always positive things bigger than us. What's God calling you to? What's not calling you to is God calling you to start a business as God calling you to go and lay hands on someone who is sick and pray that God will raise them off of the sickbed is God, send something bigger. Then you are a bigger than I want to know if you could be because I've got a plan for your life.

Your destiny demands strength and courage it Advanced intentionality of faith and obedience by outside your destiny. For 40 years that entire generation who was just Siri and Afraid and couldn't step into the promised land of Pop outside in the driveway since they tied in the wilderness. Are you my shape today will pass the pill? I had my opportunity five years ago 10 years ago 15 years ago. And now that's not going to happen to me. I want you to know you're ugly.

call Joshua be strong and courageous. Live out your destiny.

Finally had a destiny have a problem.

Sometimes God calls us to do something if we have to do it by herself. That's okay. He said you're not only going to have to do it by yourself. You might have to take all these people with you. Sometimes people are a problem, aren't they got a problem need somebody else?

I'll come back to that here in a little bit, but I want you to know that no problem is too big for God your destiny has enemies. Your enemy will hoist every problem that he can and do your path, but you'll have to face them with strength and courage that God offers you fear in the storage that has a loud voice. You never have to warn her what fear is saying? You never have to wonder what the storage unit is saying but God is saying to you you can be strong and courageous.
