2020.2.16 Do Something (Victorious Secrets part 2)

Introduction

I heard about a man whose family sent him to the doctor because he constantly complained of being too sick to work. The doctor examined his patient, then told him to get dressed and meet him in his office.

When the man came into the office and sat down, he said, “Give it to me straight, doc. Don’t use any complicated, fancy sounding medical terms. My family wants the truth in plain English. What’s wrong with me?

“All right,” the doctor said. “I’ll make it as plain as I can. There isn’t a thing wrong with you. You’re just lazy.”

The man sat silent for a moment, then said, “I see. Now will you give me a complicated, fancy sounding medical term I can tell my family?”

Many people don’t want to hear the truth

span of the book Joshua is 25 years. it took them 25 years to conquer Jericho, Ai, Gibeon, Bethel, Aijalon, Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, Eglon, Makkedah, Libnah, Debir, Kadesh Barnea

The book opens with them on the banks of the Jordan River.

research who were the Canaanites

The book opens with them on the banks of the Jordan River.

The book is about the conquest of Canaan the land God promised to Abraham 600 years prior. (perspective USA is only 250 years with pilgrims showing approx 400 years ago)

I need you to celebrate that He’s a promise keeping God!!! If He made you a promise, He’ll make good on His word!

Joshua 1:2–3 NKJV

2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel.

when i read this verse I hear “it’s a new season!”

something has come to a conclusion…the one that use to be in charge is no longer.

He says “I’m giving.”

Do Something Because Something’s Being Done

Do Something Because Something’s Being Done

Do Something Because Something’s Already Been Done

“I have given”: to give (transfer) - 1st Person, Singular, Perfect Tense

to give (transfer) - 1st Person, Singular, Perfect Tense

1st Person Singular - Whoever is speaking is singular not plural. There will be no vote taken on this. I don’t have to ask anybody. I confer only with Me, Myself and

Perfect tense

In Biblical Hebrew a Perfect tense verb is normally used to describe actions that have occurred in the past or actions that are seen as completed (even in present or future time). However, the Perfect tense conjugation is also used to describe a variety of other kinds of actions. Thus, a Perfect tense verb has the potential to be translated with the past tense, the present tense, or even the future tense. The context must determine the proper meaning for each instance of a Perfect verb. - unfoldWord Hebrew Grammar

This is done!!!! Q: “But wait, didn’t you say that the book of Joshua starts off w them standing on the shores of the Jordan?” A: Yes I did!!!!

God is looking out ahead of where they are to where He is and telling them “the transaction has already happened!”

ill: Had the sweetest gift, to say welcome back gift card (salad is $20) to a very nice restaurant and gift card to movie for 2. Dinner is paid for, entertainment paid for, but if we don’t set aside time to go, even though it’s already been “given” we’ll never enjoy what’s been set aside for us.

We get a different nuance to how big this thing is

Joshua 1:15 NKJV

15 until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

Every Place your foot treads

Joshua 1:3 NKJV

3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

“every place” literally means geography

Exercise: Think about the area in your life that you’re looking for victory in. Now, read . Read it from the vantage point that God is speaking directly to you.

As much as you’re willing to put into it, I’m willing to honor.

2 Kings 4:3–6 NKJV

3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.” 5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.

“You can’t ask me for too much IF you’re willing to put the work in!!!!”

I’ve made up in my mind, If God’s looking for somebody to give it to it might as well be me!!!

Close

Joshua 24:29 NKJV

29 Now it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

“after these things”

I ain’t dying til i’m done.

I’m not dying until I finish.

I know I’ve had to deal w depression, but I got victory.

app: can i get somebody to join me, “I’ve had more days than dollars but I didn’t quit”

45 Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Still may have some unbelievers, “i’m scared, what if it doesn’t work, i may not have enough money.” If this scripture doesn’t work, I can’t help you.
