Take the promises

December 31, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joshua 18:3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? God gives us things. He promises us great stuff. But the promise doesn’t mean that we have it. We are to get up and […]

Taxing them instead of defeating them

December 29, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joshua 16:10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute. It is almost like we will allow sin in our lives if we see that we can get some benefit from it. They were to drive them out. […]

Do you melt hearts?

December 27, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joshua 14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. What a horrible truth to be said about someone. They melted the hearts of the people. They took out all the resolve. They dried up the courage. They melted their […]

Joshua 12:6 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. Moses fought the fight. The children of Israel went to war but it was God […]

Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. God’s people were required to acknowledge the Word and Words of God. They had to say publicly that they knew it was God saying it and that they would accept it […]

How to know if God said it

December 14, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

December 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? God told His people how they could know if the messenger was sharing God’s Word. They were to see if what He said came true or not. If it didn’t come true then God […]
