“You Have It .. Just Claim It” Josh 18-20
*When* we *left off last week* *Joshua said* to *Ephraim* & *Manasseh* ( */concerning/*/ their God given *inheritance*/ ) ( /he said/ ) *don’t come* to *me *&* complain because .. *there is *plenty* of *land* for *you *( */you/*/ *have* to* just *go* out *&* possess* *it*/* *) [1]
As *we* can *see* from *v3* in *Ch 18* *not much* has *changed .. except Joshua * is *now saying this* *.. **to the sons of Israel*
*v3** **s**o Joshua said to the sons of Israel how long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which** .. */(note)/* .. the Lord the God of your fathers .. has given you*
*Practically speaking* *..* *God* is *saying* this to *all* of *us* * .. *who have *come* to Him by *faith* ( /He is saying/ ) *..* I have *given you* *all* the *spiritual blessings needed .. **Eph 1:3*
*blessed be the God & Father of our Lord J.C. **who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ *
* *
*SO .. why* have you *not taken possession *of *all your blessings*
*But possession* of your *blessings */ /
( /like *possession* of the *land* ~/ *inheritance * for *Israel* in the *Promise Land* /)
* *
*will take work *it *does not come* to *any* of *us* *automatically*
The *years* of *fighting* is *over* with *. . .
* the* Jordan River* has been *crossed* & the *land* has been *conquered*
The *rest* of *Ch 18** *&* 19* tells us *how* the *land* was *divided* to the *remaining 7 tribes* *Benjamin* /~// *Simeon */~// *Zebulun* /~// *Issachar* / /*Asher* /~// *Naphtali* /~// *Dan*
( /& we see /) *being* a caring *leader* *Joshua *took his *portion last **( 19:49-51 )*
49) when they finished apportioning the land for inheritance by its borders the sons of Israel gave an inheritance in their midst to Joshua .. the son of Nun
50) in accordance with the command of the Lord they gave him /~/ Joshua/ .. the city for which he asked .. Tim-nath - See-rah /Timnath-serah/ .. in the hill country of Ephraim so he built the city & settled in it
51) these are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest & Joshua the son of Nun & the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting so they finished dividing the land
As *we* can *see* *..* *Joshua waited until everyone else* *got* their *land 1st then* the *Lord gave him *( /Tim-nath -- See-rah/ ) a *mountainous* *city */~// *similar* to *Caleb*
* *
*Chs 18 & 19* *reveal* that God *not only gave* Israel *land* in *Canaan* *but* He *also gave them .. * a *particular area* & a *particular portion* of the *land* to *each tribe */ / ( */even/*/ to *each person*/* *)* *
*In this .. God* has a *lesson* for *us* *today* *showing* us that He is *concerned about* *each personal life */~// *Matt 6:26*/ / [2]
look at the birds of the air .. that they do not sow .. nor reap .. nor gather into barns & yet your heavenly Father feeds them are you not worth much more than they
*Since* that is the *truth . .
.
since we* are of *great value* to God *we learn* a *great truth* from this *point* *. . .
* *if* we *watch *this *section* of *Scripture closely * *we saw* that at the *end * of *Ch 14:15* *“ … then the land had **rest from war” *& *from that point forward* the *land */~// their *inheritance *is *given* to them
as we see at the end of Joshua 19:51
/( note ) // /“... so they finished dividing the land”
*What* do we *know* from *this . .
.* *simple ..* the *land* /~// *inheritance* is *theirs* *7 years* of *fighting* for *Canaan* is *over with*
*Israel** finally crossed* the *River* *came* into the *land .. defeated* the *enemy *& they *divided up* the *land* /~// *inheritance* ( */it is now all theirs/ *)
*But* that *defeat* of the *enemy* the *dividing* up the *land* will *prove* to be *worthless .. unless* they *learn how* to *live* in the *land*
* *
*Now .. * *all* they *have to do* is *trust* God & *learn* to *live* in the *land* *you see ..* the *most important part* of our *inheritances* /~// *blessings* is *learning* to *live* with *them*
*18:3** **s**o Joshua said to the sons of Israel how long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which** .. */(note)/* .. the Lord the God of your fathers .. has given you*
/The *land* is *theirs what* is *holding* them *back* *God* has *told them* *He* has *given them* the *land*/
( /they have to *learn* to live in it /)
*/Please listen .. what/*/ was *true* of the *children* of *Israel** then * is *just* as* true* of *Christians today*/
*Our lives* is *not meant* to be a *series* of *crises */~// *emotional trials* *. .
.* *NO* *.. *our *lives* was *meant* to *be lived* as an *ongoing* *triumphant march toward * the *goal .. *(* */& the *goal* is/ )
( /to *walk* with *Christ daily regardless* of our *circumstances* /)
*Of course .. like Israel* *there* are *trials* in the *process Jordan *to be* crossed */~// the* enemy subdued* the *Bible never said* there *wouldn’t* be *trials *who *perpetuated* this *myth*
*More* than *likely some uninformed preachers* who have *led* *people* to *believe *this* lie *& for* what reason .. *who *knows . .
.
*
* *
*Perhaps .. because they hoped* it *would* be *so *or *perhaps .. * to* tickle* the *ears *of their *flock so* they would *return next week* & their *numbers* would *grow *
*Listen .. altho* we will *eternally be saved* ( */God /*/has* you* in the *palm* of His *hand*/* *) *see*: *John 5:24** */~// *6:35-40 */~// *10:22-33 */~// *11:21-27*
*Never* the *less .. we* like *Israel*
*can move out* *of .. The Promised Land* ( */move away/*/ from *..* our *walk* with *Christ*/ )/ /
& *back* into the *wilderness* ( */back/*/ into* sin *&* disobedience*/ )/ /
*Some* of the *lessons* that we have *learned* from the *last few Chapters *was the *importance* of our *life long* *walk* with *Christ* *..* as we saw *Caleb* *keep* his *strength .. even* in his *old age because **14:8 **“he followed the Lord his God fully” *
