Title: Promised Land
Contents
Joshua 1:1-11
If you keep lying in one place, the place will become damp, moldy, rot and stink.
And the body becomes ill, and it becomes a place where there is no sense of helplessness, frustration and hope.
Also, even if we are facing difficulties in the environment (materials / diseases..), we must not get frustrated / give up, and we must rise from this tribulation even if it is a little difficult.
The way to rise from such a position is to gain strength and stand up when you have hope. Therefore, in order for us to rise, we must first see the Vision.
Only then will hope be created and the strength to rise to hold onto that hope will be created. That Vision is what God has given us.
It is a place where we can enjoy peace and abundance while we live.
That is the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is the Garden of Eden prepared for us before the foundation of the world.
This is God's promise to the people of Israel.
It was also a barren land, a wilderness and a desert at first, but God made a way and water in the wilderness and desert to make it fertile and fertile soil. This is our Vision.
Before getting to know Jesus, our hearts/ our lives were in such a dry, rough, barren, and sick place in the desert and wilderness, but now that we have accepted Jesus and serve as our Savior, we have risen from such a place of iniquity and destruction that God promised. We must enter into the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey.
That vision is right in front of us. Please hold on to that vision.
In order to enter that blessed land, you must look to the vision and have a courageous heart.
① You must believe in the omnipotence of God.
② When we believe that such a God is with us, we can become strong and courageous.
③ We can become strong and courageous when we believe and act on the Word of God.
God gives us the means and the ability to remove obstacles that stand in our way as we enter the land armed with faith.
That strong and bold power is revealed because God is with us.
Therefore, when we believe and keep the word of God/ and go out relying only on Almighty God, God will never leave us/ He will not forsake us/ and be with us forever to make our way smooth and prosper in our lives. You will do it.
No matter how good a weapon is, just as a soldier who uses it cannot fight a full battle if he is tired and weak You can not.
It is the Word and prayer that can make our spirit and body strong.
If we have faith and have gained strength and courage to enter Canaan, we must be armed with the filling of the Holy Spirit through the Word and prayer. Congratulations to all of you who win.
