Who are you for?
Don’t Let go and let God - Obey and have Authority
Who do you go to work for?
Who do you take care of your house for?
Who do you go to church for?
Who do you eat for?
Background
1) Joshua becomes the leader
Christians - Let go and let God - I am not going to be frightened or dismayed for God is with me wherever I go.
2) Sends spies into Jericho - they hang out with a prostitute who is in the line of Jesus
3) Israel Crosses the Jordan (Red Sea)
4) All the men Get Circumcised
Quebec
5) The 1st Passover in the promise - the Manna is gone
Strange event right?
When Joshua was by Jericho
Why was he by Jericho? - Developing a plan
He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold,
Startling
A man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand.
He is ready to attack
Are you for us or for our adversaries?
Which way was he facing?
Like the crane in Karate kid
The text doesn’t tell us, but the fact that Joshua is confused is a clue.
No; But I am the commander of the army of the LORD.
No
We have you over after church, 2nd or 3rd visit so you know Travis Loves bananas - I come in and see Samantha take a knife out of the drawn and has a banana in her hand, and I asked are cutting the banana for our guest or Travis? and she said NO, wouldn’t that be strange??
That’s the jarring feeling we need.
Joshua is asking the wrong question
But I am the commander of the army of the LORD.
God himself, Jesus, an Angel - if you care, read my paper…
It’s an Angel of the LORD.
Why?
God has given delegated authority away to humans and divine council - see Job
This story is an example of the proper dominion and authority that Israel was supposed to have.
Not for or against any people group or place - Jericho, AI, Gibeonites…
They were to be God’s instrument - obedient
Now I have come.
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worship and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
And the commander of the LORDS army said, Take off your sandals, the place you are standing is holy.
And Joshua did so.
Inside Jericho outside Jericho - doesn’t matter it all belongs to God
So what does this mean for us today?
We like it when God is caring for us in supernatural ways - Manna, but that wasn’t what God wanted for them forever.
How many of you are going to go home and want someone to put give you a baby bottle with milk in it?
God has done some supernatural things to get you where you are, but he wants you to have dominion and authority.
Who are you for?
We are to be God’s representation of him to others
Don’t be for or against any person or or any place - be God instrument
Work
Family
Church
A servant of God - because we know what happens in Chapter 6. God takes down the walls, but Israel had to show up and begin to take authority God’s way.
