Bible Characters - Joshua 2
1. Spiritual Restoration - Circumcision
The recovery of life takes place from spiritual recovery. So I had to be circumcised. They could not keep the Passover because they were not circumcised.
The first step to spiritual victory is repentance. No matter how capable you are and how long you have lived a religious life, you cannot overcome the devil without repenting.
If you are circumcised before crossing the Jordan River, you can still do it. However, following the word of God in the midst of an enemy in front and the Jordan River behind it is like committing suicide. Nevertheless, what is required of Israel is to look to God thoroughly.
When you have money, health, strength, and youth, you can shout loudly. But no matter how hard you try, there will always come a time when you can't do anything. can't shout Don't blame yourself for having money.
Don't do what you want because you have the power.
Don't shout out what you can do for me.
What kind of person does God use? Not a smart person, but a clean person. He uses honest people, non-privileged people, and naive people.
2. History of Jericho
Jericho symbolizes the devil. There are some castles in our lives that cannot be destroyed at all like this Jericho Fortress. How can the city of Jericho be destroyed? It is possible through faith in Jesus Christ.
Just like the fall of Jericho, the power of the devil leaves no trace in the name of Jesus.
We must look to Jesus Christ.
Those who do not pray follow their thoughts. follow reason But those who pray follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. So, a person who prays can act erratically. However, there is an event that accomplishes the work of God. How can a person bitten by a viper live when he sees a brass snake? But everyone who saw the bronze serpent came to life. How can we be saved by simply believing in Jesus Christ? But everyone who believes in Him will be saved. This is the man of prayer.
3. Don't forget that the devil is near after prayer
The large city of Jericho won, but the small castle Ai was unsuccessful. Hope you don't have to spend expensive lessons.
Where is the devil? The moment you step out that door, the devil is waiting for you. When does the devil come? At the most prayerful time, the devil is waiting at the entrance. When did Satan tempt Jesus? After 40 days of fasting and prayer.
Today, am I at peace without the devil's challenge? Then the peace can be left alone by the devil.
