August 3-5_2012 Joshua 11-13
Dear Saints,
This weekend we prayerfully continue our Feast in Joshua chapter 11-13. Joshua and the army are following God into battle. The odds at times have been turned against them (see Joshua 7:10-12) due to the actions of men. However because they believed God he forgave them and the occupation of the new land moved forward. Most of the times it looked like the odds were against them, but because they had faith they did as God commanded. “6 And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."7 So Joshua and all his warriors came suddenly against them by the waters of Merom and fell upon them.8 And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. And they struck them until he left none remaining.9 And Joshua did to them just as the Lord said to him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.” Joshua 11:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV). They believed God, and God blessed them. You and I are involved in a battle today. Though our battle may appear physical in nature it's not. The enemy hates God, God loves us, so the enemy will attack us on any front possible. Look saints you know God gave us a commission. Because we all have a personal relationship with Jesus, we all have a mission. Now Satan may attack a loved one or else our health. He may do this so our spirits fall and we loose site of our mission. He hates God so much that he will do whatever it takes to scuttle our faith. God has given us written instruction that will prepare us to stand in this battle. “10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:10-13 ESV. God makes provisions for us so that we will triumph in our mission. What is faith and where do we look to bolster our faith? “1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.2 For by it the people of old received their commendation.3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.“ Hebrews 11:1-3 (ESV). God's Word tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. If you think about it this Feast is used by our Lord to build our faith. No matter what you are facing, how big or insurmountable it may seem keep your eyes on Jesus. “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV. Have a great weekend, keeping the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus.

Keep you eyes on Jesus! Do you know that you are made in the image of God? You are an eternal being, where you spend eternity depends on your relationship with God? If you want to be sure, turn from sin and just say this simple prayer; “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.“ If you said this prayer inviting Jesus into your heart. Now turning from sin, and seek fellowship just as we do. We worship and fellowship in a Church (group of believers) that strives to measures up to God’s Word. You need a Bible believing body of believers (church) to worship and pray with. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent (turn from sin) and accept Jesus. If you have trouble finding a good bible believing church in your neighborhood send me an email and I’ll see if I can help; mlitew8@yahoo.com or if you want a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
