[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We thank you, Father God, for sound,

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: mons, Father God.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: We thank you for every organ that is working

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: That's functioning the way you decided to function.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_01]: We thank you, Father God, for 2020 vision.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to try to work on this mic.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow, I am talking before I come in

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_01]: to the wrong guys.

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I just wanted to come on.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to do this particular episode

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_01]: because we're in the book of Joshua

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and we're ending the book of Joshua.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We in Joshua 24.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do a little recap today.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm Joshua 23.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But before we get into that,

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to get into this.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I got a testimony, guys.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes people need to know

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_01]: what your testimony looks like.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like everything we do

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: that our testimony should flow like a river.

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_01]: It should shine for us.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It should be a big hit of hope.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: For someone, it should be everything.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything that we can imagine and much,

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_01]: much, much, much, much more.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And I just want to thank God today

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: for all that he's done in my life.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: He's done some amazing things for me

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: in these last couple weeks.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's been testing me.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He's been testing me.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess you would say,

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: God, in my footsteps,

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: making my cricket path straight.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been going through a season of trial.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been going through a season of trial.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And it hasn't been an easy feat for me.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It has been groundbreaking.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It's been, it's been stretching.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the Heavenly Father has been stretching me.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been going through one thing,

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_01]: thing after another,

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: one thing after another,

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_01]: one thing after another.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And it tested my faith really, really, really hard.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_01]: These last two or three weeks.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was telling someone,

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I said, you know,

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I'm at the edge of my rope.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Actually,

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I was telling my auntie that I felt like I was at

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that edge of my rope.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And glory to God.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: She said, you know what?

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_01]: When you feel like you at the edge of your rope,

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: tie your knot in it and just hold on.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_01]: About a week ago,

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I received some news that I wasn't looking forward to.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't gotten my mammogram as we all do ladies.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That is important,

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_01]: get your mammogram.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And that very same day,

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to call from the image center

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that they saw something on my right breast.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And they wanted to do a biopsy.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_01]: They wanted me to come back and do a biopsy.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: First,

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: they wanted to do a sign of RAM.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they wanted to do a biopsy.

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Glory be to God,

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I went in today.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And they said,

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_01]: they had me scheduled for a biopsy at 1120.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And they said,

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but we got you scheduled for a mammogram at 1105.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So I checked in and I went to the back

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and the ladies said,

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: well,

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: let's do another mammogram.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: She said,

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_01]: first,

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to show everything that we saw on your right breast.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And before you leave here today,

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: you will have some answers.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And then after that,

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_01]: after we do the mammogram,

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll,

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: you'll wait.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And then after we do the mammogram,

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: she said,

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: after we do the mammogram,

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_01]: you'll wait.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Go out for an in-way.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'll call you back

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_01]: for the sign of RAM.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And then again,

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll have the doctors look at everything

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and then we'll go from there.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And as she was doing that,

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: she was showing me the spots on my right breast.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I was in a whole nother's zone.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: When I tell you guys that

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I was in a whole nother's zone,

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I was completely in a whole nother zone.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I just,

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked at her,

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: but it was like I was looking past her.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: If you guys know what I mean.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_01]: If you ever,

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: found your same face,

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I was in a position where,

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: you know,

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a day during my,

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: so I was just staring out.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But in my head,

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: as she turned her back,

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I was saying,

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: have your way.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I will say,

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and Holy Spirit,

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_01]: have your way today

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: in this room.

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And in my spirit,

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: something say,

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I command your angels,

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_01]: tell them to get the from behind you,

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: command them,

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and I begin to command my angels

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and a small whisper,

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: and she was typing away at the computer.

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And I said,

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: cover me from the crowns of my head

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: to the souls of my feet.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: He,

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: all my body,

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_01]: everything that's in my body

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_01]: that Jesus didn't put there,

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_01]: fix it.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I command you right now

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: in the mighty name of Jesus

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_01]: that I am healed.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And I said,

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: why are you added?

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I said,

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: you're forth to the lady in the waiting room.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_01]: When she walks out of here,

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: her body is going to be healed.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Her body is going to be healed.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And I said there,

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and she prepped the machine,

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and I did the exam on the right side of my press.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And she told me to go out in the waiting room,

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and wait,

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and they would call me back for the sign of Graham.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So the lady beside me,

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I greeted her,

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and I put my ear bugs in.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And they called her back for her sign of Graham.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It was only two of us in this particular area.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And when they called her back for her sign of Graham,

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: it was like 10 minutes later.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: The lady that did,

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: my mammogram called me back in the room.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was going to say,

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: oh, here we go again.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You know,

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: they must have a do with a can.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And she said,

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: miss John.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_01]: She said,

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what it was.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_01]: And she had the picture style by sign.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: She said,

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: but whatever we seen a week ago,

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_01]: is not there anymore.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_01]: She said,

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_01]: except for a little bit of tissue,

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_01]: it's not there anymore.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And she circled what they had saw

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_01]: on the first mammogram.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to tell you that's the power

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_01]: of trusting God because for a whole week,

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: even though I knew I had this appointment,

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think about it.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_01]: As I'm talking about it right now,

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think about it.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I just remember that I had a doctor's appointment

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: as we all do.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And I kept saying,

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_01]: before I go in,

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I gotta go ahead and I got to feel out.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to go ahead and eat,

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and I did that.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But I didn't think about the doctor's appointment.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: All week,

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think about it.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And today when I woke up,

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really think about it.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really didn't give it a second thought.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's the power of God.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: That is the power of trusting in God.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Because as I said,

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_01]: there's something to just say,

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_01]: command your angels dispersal.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And I said,

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus,

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: how you made my body?

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Is the way I'm going to walk out of this office today?

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care what they say.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care what she's showing me on this ultrasound,

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: on this board.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I know what you said.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was very vivid.

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything that she saw on the right side of my breast,

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: it was very, very vivid.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But when I tell you what she called me back in that room,

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought she was calling me back

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: because she had to redo the mammogram before she sent me down the hall

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: to do the signogram.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they were going to do the biopsy.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I had three appointments all in one day today.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And she called me back in and she said,

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what happened.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But we don't see the same thing that we've seen a week ago.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So you can go ahead and get dressed and go on home.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: When I tell you,

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been praising God all day,

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I walked out of there just clapping my hands and thinking,

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Lord, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And I've been praising them all day

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: because Cano, body tell me what my God can't do for me.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_01]: His favor surrounds me like a shield every time I get into a pinch.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Every time somebody tell me something,

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: it just falls off of me.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It just falls off of me.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't worry.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never had that nature of wearing,

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_01]: how I'll fester on something before I wear

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: about something.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never had that nature where something just shocks me.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Just shocks me.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And when it does shock me,

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_01]: it never really shakes me to my core

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_01]: into the next time around.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_01]: So when I tell you God is good, y'all, God is good.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So I just had to give that testimony today for somebody.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Ladies, don't forget to get your mammograms

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_01]: for somebody that may be going through

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_01]: a little something right now.

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You may be going through something in your life.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't forget to get your son a gram.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not just on a gram. Your mammogram is very important.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And as we get to be a certain age,

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: we have to do that.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_01]: We have to do that.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: As we get a certain age,

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_01]: we have to make sure that we're taking care of our bodies

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: that we're going and we're getting everything

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_01]: that we need done.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether it be our colon,

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: or not, got one of those tests coming up.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether it be our colon, whether it be our breast,

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: cervical cancer is real.

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Breast cancer is real.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So get all those things done.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I know sometimes it could be a headache,

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_01]: but make sure that you're getting done.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: What you need to get done

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: is to get done.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Because even though we believe that God will do what he said

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_01]: he was going to do.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I believe it.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you guys will leave it.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Even though we know that he's going to do what he said

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: he was going to do.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_01]: We got to do our part.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: We got to do our part.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But go where you're being God

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_01]: that I did my part.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So today, guys,

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going to jump into chapter 24 of Joshua.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm going to try to jump out for here

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'm doing this late,

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: it's five o'clock.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to get dinner cooked

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_01]: for the hubby.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I almost got some of it done

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: but I don't have a whole lot of it done

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_01]: but I got to get it dinner cooked.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But ladies, ladies, please, please, please.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Get that mammogram and it is no joke.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: A week ago,

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I was almost shook to my core.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But God's stepped in and I won't

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: you guys to know that he's able to do all things.

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: So let's talk about what we read earlier this week.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been doing a lot of audio

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_01]: instead of live videos.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if we're going to continue to do the live videos.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: They kind of go on up on the

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Get your mom right, Victoria.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_01]: They're going up in prices

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_01]: on the streaming platform that I use.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm pondering whether we're going to be doing live

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: or we're going to go back to audio.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to be pre-recorded.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But I did a lot of pre-records this week

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and I did them on Joshua 22,

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_01]: 2021, 23, and now we're at 24.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the end of the book of Joshua.

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And we've been here for quite some time.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_01]: We left and we came back.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: We went to St. John.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: We left.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We came back.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We went to Ephesians.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And I wanted to finish it up for you guys

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_01]: because I am on break

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm not going to be coming on Monday

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Wednesdays and Fridays

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_01]: for the rest of this month in the month of October.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to be popping in and out.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So let's go over what we read

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and actually let's read it.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_01]: We can go ahead and reread

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_01]: chapter 23 as we go in.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: We can read it up to 24.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Now what came to pass

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: a long time after the Lord had given rest

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_01]: to Israel from their enemies.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Roundabout that Joshua was old,

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_01]: advanced in years.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And Joshua called for all of Israel

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: for the elders, for the heads, for the judges,

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and for their officers

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and said to them,

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I am old, advanced in age.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You have seen all that the Lord your God has done

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: to all these nations because of you.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: For the Lord, your God is He who has fought for you.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_01]: See I have divided it to you

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_01]: by God these nations that remain

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_01]: to be an inheritance for your tribes

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: from the Jordan with all the nations

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that I have cut off as far as the great sea whispered.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And the Lord your God will expel them

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: from before you and drive them out of your sight.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: So you shall possess their land

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_01]: as the Lord your God promise you.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Therefore, be very courageous to keep.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Be very to courageous to keep

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses.

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's you turn aside from it

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: to them right hand or the land

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: unless you go among these nations

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_01]: these who remain among you

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: you should not make mention

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: of the name of their God's

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: nor anyone to swear by them

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_01]: you should not serve them

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: nor bow down to them.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But you shall hold fast to the Lord your God

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: as you have done to this day.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_01]: For the Lord has driven out from before you

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_01]: a great strong nation.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But as for you, no one has been able

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: to stand against you to this day.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: One man of you shall chase

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: a thousand for the Lord your God

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_01]: is He who fights for you

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_01]: as He promised you.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Therefore, take heed to yourselves

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_01]: that you love the Lord your God

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_01]: or else if indeed you do go back

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and cling to the remnant of these nations.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_01]: These that remain with them

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and go into them

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and they to you.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_01]: No for certain that the Lord your God

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: would no longer drive out

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_01]: these nations from before you.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But they shall be snares

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and traps to you

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and scourges on your sides

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and thorns in your eyes

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: until you perish from this good land

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: which the Lord your God has given you.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Behold this day

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I am going the way of the earth

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and you know in all your hearts

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and in all your souls

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: that not one thing

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_01]: has failed

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: of the good things

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: which the Lord your God spoke

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: concerning you.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I will have come to pass

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_01]: for you

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_01]: not one word of them

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_01]: has failed.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Therefore,

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_01]: it shall come to pass

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that as all good things have come

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: upon you

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_01]: which the Lord your God promised

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_01]: you, so the Lord will bring you.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me really re-read that

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_01]: therefore it shall come to pass

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_01]: that as all good things have come upon you

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_01]: which the Lord your God promised you

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: so the Lord will bring you amongst

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: all harmful things

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: until they have been destroyed

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_01]: from you.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: This good land which the Lord your God has given you.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: When you have transgressed the covenant of the Lord

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: your God which he commanded you

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and have gone and served

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: of the gods and bow down to them

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: then the anger of the Lord

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: were burned against you.

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_01]: You shall perish quickly

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: from the good land which he has given you.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is Joshua

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_01]: reminded them

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_01]: of what God has done for them

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: in chapter 23

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and you know what stood out to me

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: particularly was

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_01]: he said, you know I am going

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: the way of the whole earth

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: we all are going to leave this earth

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: one day

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: which was to keep our mind

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: on heavenly places

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: which is visited in this place

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: this is not our home

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: that's why he said

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: let our minds stay fast

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_01]: on God and the things that

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: he wants us to think about

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: keep our mind in heavenly places

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: so let us stay on God

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and all his righteousness

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and that's what we have to do

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01]: as we walk through this world

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_01]: we can see things

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: we certainly see a lot of things

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_01]: in this world

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_01]: but we gotta make sure

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm on stay on God

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: but he knew that he was going away

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_01]: but Joshua

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_01]: he was reminding them

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that not one promise of God had failed

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_01]: so now they need to enjoy

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_01]: what they've done, what God have done for them

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: in the land

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_01]: but they must stay loyal

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and commit it to God

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_01]: as he asked us to do

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_01]: this day

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_01]: stay loyal

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_01]: he goes on to tell them

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_01]: about all the nations

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_01]: that God has spoken on their behalf

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: he said

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_01]: back in verse 9

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_01]: let's go back

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_01]: a little bit

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_01]: let's go to verse 8

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_01]: he said

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_01]: you should not make mention

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: of the name of their gods

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_01]: nor calls anyone to swear by them

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_01]: but you should not serve them

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: nor bow down to them

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_01]: but you shall hold fast

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_01]: to the Lord your God

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_01]: as you have done

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_01]: till this day

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: but the Lord has driven out

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_01]: from before you

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_01]: great and strong nations

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_01]: he didn't say they was weak

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_01]: he said they were great

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and strong

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and I just

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_01]: when I read that yesterday

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and the day before yesterday

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: it just set with me

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_01]: how many times God

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: shows His self mighty

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01]: on our behalf

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: like He did for me today

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and that He continues to do in my life

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_01]: how many of us

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: can say that

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_01]: we've been up against that mountain

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that only God

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: could tear down

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: only God can tear down

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and He said

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_01]: these nations were strong

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: He said

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_01]: but as for you

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_01]: no one has been able to stand

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_01]: against you

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_01]: till this day

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_01]: then He went on the same

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_01]: one man of you

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: shall take chase a thousand

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_01]: for the Lord your God

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_01]: is He

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_01]: who fights for you

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_01]: as He promised you

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_01]: it wasn't the fact that

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_01]: God didn't make good on His promise

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_01]: it was the fact that He said

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_01]: one man

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_01]: shall taste a thousand

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_01]: can you imagine

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_01]: if we all got in position

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_01]: how many people

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_01]: you guys have to give me a minute

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thirsty

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: how many people

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_01]: that we can stand up

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and chase

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: away from the devil

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and chase them directly

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: into the arms of Jesus

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: by telling our testimony

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: by announcing that Jesus is Lord

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He is God

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_01]: He is the great I am

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He is Jehovah

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_01]: He is El Shadai

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He is Yahweh

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_01]: the way

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: how many people

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: can we learn

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_01]: for God?

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_01]: how many people

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_01]: he said

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_01]: one man can chase a thousand

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: but he keeps talking about what God has done

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: God

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: fought for us

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: fought for them

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He is fighting for us

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: He said therefore take care for heat

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_01]: of yourselves

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_01]: that you love the Lord your God

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and I thought that was just

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm always here in one of our

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_01]: favorite pastors

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus, one of my favorite pastors

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Sarah Jake Roberts talk about

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_01]: one can chase a thousand

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and if we put two in flight

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: we can chase two thousand

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: if we put three in flight

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: we can place three thousand

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and as I reread the book of Joshua

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_01]: God refresh my memory

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: of where I heard that before

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: because we are never going to retain

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: everything that we read

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_01]: but that's why we keep going back

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and rereading certain things

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and let God edge it across the tables of our heart

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_01]: because he will

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_01]: so let's kid in

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: to chapter 24

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: as we read

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: chapter 24

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going back and we'll talk about that as well

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: then Joshua gather all the tries of Israel

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: to she came

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and call for the elders of Israel

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and they presented themselves before God

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and Joshua said, all the people

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_01]: thus said the Lord God of Israel

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_01]: your fathers, including

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Tira, the father of Abraham

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and the father of Nehore

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_01]: do it on the other side

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: of the river

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_01]: in old times

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and they served other gods

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: do not took your father Abraham

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: from the other side of the river

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: led him throughout all the land of Canaan

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and multiplied his descendants

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: and gave him Isaac

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_01]: to Isaac, I gave Jacob

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: an Isal

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: to Isal, I gave the mountain of Seer

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_01]: to possess

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_01]: but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I also sent Moses an Aaron

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and I plagued Egypt

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: according to what I did among them

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Afterwards, I brought you out

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_01]: then I brought your fathers out of Egypt

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and you came to the sea

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_01]: in the Egyptians' procedure

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: with chariots and horsemen

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_01]: to the Red Sea

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_01]: so they cried out to the Lord

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and he put darkness between you

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and the Egyptians

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_01]: brought the sea upon them

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and covered them

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_01]: then you dwelt

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: in the wilderness a long time

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and I brought you into

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_01]: the land of Amorites

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_01]: who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and they fought with you

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: but I gave them into your hand

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_01]: that you might possess the land

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and I destroyed them from before you

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_01]: then bailat

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: the son of Zipur

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: King of Mogue

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_01]: arose to make war against Israel

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: and I sent and I called

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: bailam the son of Bor

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and he sent and called bailam

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: the son of Bor

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: to curse you

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_01]: forgive me

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_01]: but I would not listen to bailam

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_01]: therefore he continued to bless you

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_01]: so I delivered you out of his hand

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: then you went over to the Jordan

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and came to Jericho

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and the meen of Jericho followed against you

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_01]: also the Amorites, the Parasites, the Canaanites

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_01]: the hot hights, the Gurgigasts,

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Gurgigats' hights

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and the Havites

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and you jibbed your sights

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_01]: but I delivered them into your hand

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I sent the Hornet before you

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_01]: which drove them out

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_01]: from before you

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: also the two kings of the Amorites

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_01]: but not with your sword

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_01]: or with your bow

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I have given you a land

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: for which you did not labor

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and cities which you did not build

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and you dwell in them

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_01]: you eat of the vineyards

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_01]: and the olive grows which you did not plant

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_01]: now therefore fear the Lord

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_01]: serve him in sincerity

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and intro

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: and put away the gods

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01]: which your father served

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_01]: on the other side of the river

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and in Egypt

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: serve the Lord

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and if it seems able to you

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_01]: to serve the Lord

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_01]: choose for yourself this day

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_01]: whom you will serve

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_01]: whether the gods which your father served

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_01]: that were on the other side of the river

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_01]: or the gods

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_01]: of the Amorites

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and whose land you dwell

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_01]: but as for me and my house

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_01]: we will serve the Lord

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_01]: so the people answered

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and they said

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_01]: far be it from us

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_01]: that we should forsake the Lord

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_01]: to serve the gods

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_01]: for the Lord our God

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_01]: is He who brought us

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and our fathers

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_01]: up out of the land of each of

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01]: from the house of bondage

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_01]: who did those great sons

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_01]: in our sight

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and preserved us

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and all the ways

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_01]: that we went

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and among all the people

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_01]: through her we passed

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and the Lord drove out

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_01]: from before us all the people

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_01]: including the Amorites

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: who dwelt in the land

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: we also was served the Lord

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_01]: for He is our God

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: but Joshua said to the people

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: you cannot serve the Lord

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_01]: for He is a holy God

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He is a jealous God

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: He will not forgive you

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: of your transgressions

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: nor your sins

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: if you forsake the Lord

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and serve for God

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_01]: then he will turn

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and do you harm

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and consume you

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_01]: after He has done

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: good

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_01]: after He has done

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_01]: you good

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and the people said to Joshua

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_01]: no but we serve the Lord

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_01]: so Joshua said to the people

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_01]: you are witnesses

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_01]: against yourselves

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_01]: that you have chosen the Lord

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_01]: for yourselves

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: to serve him

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and they said we are witnesses

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_01]: now therefore He said

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_01]: put away the foreign gods

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: which are among you

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and inclined your heart

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: to the Lord God in Israel

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and the people say to Joshua

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: the Lord our God

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_01]: we will serve

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and his voice we will obey

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: so Joshua made a covenant

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: with the people that day

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and made for them

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_01]: a statue

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and an orderance in She came

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_01]: then Joshua wrote these words

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_01]: in the book of the Law of God

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and he took a large stone

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and said it there under the oath

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_01]: that was by the cemetery of the Lord

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and Joshua said to all the people

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_01]: behold this stone shall be a witness to us

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: for it has heard all the words

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_01]: of the Lord

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_01]: which He spoke to us

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_01]: it shall therefore be a witness to you

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_01]: unless you deny your God

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: so Joshua let the people depart

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_01]: each was all inheritance

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_01]: now it came to pass

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_01]: after these things that Joshua

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: the Son and the servant of the Lord

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_01]: dot being 110 years old

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and they buried him

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01]: within the border of his inheritance

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and Timonat

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Sahara, which is the mountain of Ephraim

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and on the north side of the mountain of Gaehatch

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and all the days of the elders

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: who outlive Joshua

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: who had known all the works of the Lord

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: which he had done for Israel

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_01]: the bones of Joseph

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: which the children with Israel

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: who had brought up out of Egypt

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_01]: they buried at she came

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_01]: in the plot of the ground

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_01]: which Jacob had bought

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: from the sons of Haymore

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_01]: the father of she came

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_01]: for 100 pieces of silver

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and which had become

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_01]: an inheritance of the children

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_01]: of Joseph

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and Eliezer the son of Aaron Dodd

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: they buried him in the hill

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: belonging to a fine has

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: his son

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: which was given to him

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: in the mountains of Ephraim

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: this has been the book

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: of Joshua guys

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and let me just say

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: it has so many gems

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: in chapter 24

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: first of all that famous saying

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_01]: that we all know

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_01]: that Joshua told the people he said

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_01]: it's for me

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and my house we will serve the Lord

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and I know all of us say it

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_01]: a lot of us say it

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_01]: it's for me and my house we serve the Lord

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_01]: but do you know

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_01]: the promises that you were making to God

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_01]: because he told them how

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_01]: to wait a minute

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_01]: he says

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_01]: God won't forgive you

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_01]: of your transgressions of your sins

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: he said if you forsake the Lord

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and serve for God

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: he will turn

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and do you harm

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_01]: let's think about that for a minute

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_01]: because he said God is a holy

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: God

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think a lot of us

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_01]: in this day and time

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and our parents stay in Tom

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_01]: their parents parents

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_01]: we forget that God is a holy God

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_01]: anything that we confess with our mouth

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and promise to God

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_01]: he's going to hold us accountable for those things

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_01]: so we have to be careful

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: we have to have made up months

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_01]: that we are going to serve God

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_01]: because he said

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_01]: to the people don't forsake the Lord

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_01]: for any foreign gods

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'd like to think about that

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_01]: in the way of idols

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_01]: things that we worship

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_01]: more than we put God before us

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_01]: the children of Israel

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_01]: and the book of Judges

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_01]: as we move on

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going to find out

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: that they didn't do

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: what they said they was going to do

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_01]: they didn't do

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_01]: what they told Joshua

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that they were going to do

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: oh we don't serve the Lord

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going to put away our foreign idols

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and objects and all that could stuff

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_01]: they didn't do it

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_01]: but Joshua in his fair wear dress

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_01]: he warned them already of this

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_01]: but I'm going to go back to

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_01]: where he talks about

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_01]: will

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_01]: some of you may know or may not know

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_01]: that this was God speaking through Joshua

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_01]: using him as a vessel

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and he exalts his self

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_01]: he doesn't exalt the people

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_01]: he says

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_01]: ah

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: gave

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_01]: ah

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I said

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I defeated

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I handed

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I annihilated

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't listen to

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_01]: bail

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_01]: he's reminded them

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that I bought you out of slavery

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I did all these wonderful things for you

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_01]: he said even when you stand

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_01]: in more unfaifful

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I never bailed on you

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm many of us bail on God

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_01]: when we don't feel like he did

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_01]: something that we wanted him to do

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_01]: something that he wasn't required to do

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_01]: God is not required to do anything for us

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_01]: he does for us

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_01]: because he loves us

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_01]: he said he gave them land

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that they did not lay before

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: how many of us have things

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: that God gave us that we didn't work for

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I know we sometimes think

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_01]: because we have jobs

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_01]: that we work for these things

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_01]: but how did you get that job?

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Did God give you that job?

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Did God allow your boss

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_01]: or whoever it was to have favor

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01]: on you to get that promotion

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_01]: so that you can get that nice car

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that nice home?

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: How many of us are reminded

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: that we're not doing anything

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_01]: in our own wheel

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'm reminded

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_01]: on a daily basis

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_01]: that I can do nothing in my own wheel

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and all has to be

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_01]: by the hands of God

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and I love it

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_01]: because he talks about the food

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_01]: that they eat

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_01]: he talks about the land

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_01]: that he gave them

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_01]: he talks about how he brought them through

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_01]: mighty, showed his hand mighty

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_01]: against their enemies

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_01]: how he sent the hornets

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_01]: to drive out the people

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_01]: but I want to talk about something else

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_01]: that came to mind

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_01]: as I read that

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_01]: on yesterday

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_01]: when he said

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_01]: when Joshua said to them

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_01]: let me get my Bible back up here

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_01]: because I want to read it right

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to take a word away

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and I want to act none for him

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_01]: he said Joshua said to the people

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_01]: in verse 22 of chapter 24

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_01]: you are witnesses against your self

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_01]: that you have chosen the Lord

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_01]: for yourself to serve him

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and they said we are witnesses

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_01]: when I read that it kind of reminded me

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_01]: of what God did with Abraham

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_01]: remember when he said

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked for someone

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_01]: this great desire to swear by

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and couldn't find anybody

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_01]: so he had to swear by his self

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_01]: with these people

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_01]: have sweared by their self

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_01]: they were their own witnesses

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and although Joshua talked about the wrong

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_01]: he said the rock has heard

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and this is God speaking

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you swear by yourself

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: now I place this rock here

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_01]: for you to pass by every day

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_01]: if it be your will

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_01]: as a reminder

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_01]: of what I've done

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and what I've bought you out

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_01]: you're already

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_01]: you should be reminded

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_01]: in the spaces that you're living in

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_01]: that's the way I think it

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_01]: the land that he gave them

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_01]: because remember

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_01]: they were eaten man of from heaven

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_01]: they wasn't eaten off

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_01]: of the fruit of the land

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_01]: but God promised them that he would bring them into the land

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_01]: overflowing with milk and honey

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and he did exactly what he promised them

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_01]: that he was going to do

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_01]: every promise that God made to them

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_01]: he kept

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_01]: every promise that Jesus made to us

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_01]: he kept

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_01]: that's why he died on that cross

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: for you and I

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_01]: he came

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: to fulfill

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: the law not to abolish

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_01]: not to destroy it

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and he added to that

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_01]: he said you know what? Love, doubt neighbor

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_01]: love, doubt neighbor

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and your neighbor is not just your physical neighbor

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_01]: is anybody that crumacrones your path

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_01]: as I was telling you guys my testimony

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_01]: today of coming from

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_01]: the image center

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I did stop

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_01]: as I lived

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_01]: because like I said it was just me and the other lady

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and I told her I say

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_01]: how are you doing today? She said

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing fine. I said

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I just wanted to let you know

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I prayed for us

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01]: because we were the only one

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_01]: in that room, in that particular room

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and that particular waiting room

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_01]: but God had dropped it in my spirit

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_01]: as I was praying for myself

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: that they didn't find anything on my right

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_01]: for us. He had dropped it in my spirit

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_01]: to pray for the woman

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know her name

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_01]: but as I walked out I stopped

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and I spoke with her

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and we did

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_01]: exchange a conversation

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and I said I prayed for you

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and I prayed that your results

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I know your results

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_01]: are going to be the same results

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_01]: as my results

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and she asked me my name

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and she said, you know what?

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a pray for you too.

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_01]: See, that's what God's promises look like

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_01]: He told me

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_01]: what he would do for me

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and he did it

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_01]: in a matter of minutes

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why I didn't have that

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_01]: ability to wear it

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and I didn't know about

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_01]: the whole biopsy before I went through the door

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_01]: a week ago

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_01]: but I didn't worry about it, it didn't cross my mind

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I have my mind on other things

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I have my mind on God

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you're doing in this season

[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_01]: but right now it seems a little bit tough

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I need you to strengthen me

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I need you to strengthen me

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_01]: my mind last week

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and this week been on God

[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_01]: strengthen me in this area

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_01]: strengthen me

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_01]: because Satan bothers me

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He keeps throwing jabs

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_01]: and I need you to help me

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_01]: get out of this situation

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_01]: my mind wasn't known as biopsy

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_01]: but glory be to God

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_01]: so as Joshua was telling the people here

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_01]: God will do just what he said

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_01]: he's going to do

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_01]: where the ones that don't do

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_01]: what we say we go do

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_01]: we never do

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_01]: but we got to stay rooted

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and grounded in God

[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_01]: in His world

[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_01]: so they promised to serve him

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He said, oh, Joshua, we're going to do it too

[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_01]: because Joshua said as far as being my house

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_01]: we will serve the Lord

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going to do it too okay

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_01]: we can see in Judges

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_01]: that they understand fast

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_01]: thank you for coming in

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_01]: thank you Eric

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_01]: for coming in bless us to you brother

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_01]: but you know

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_01]: it brought back a memory

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_01]: of when God said

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked for someone to swear by

[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_01]: that was as great as me

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and I had to swear by myself

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_01]: when He was making promises

[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_01]: to Abraham

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_01]: so when I read that

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_01]: it kind of brought me back

[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_01]: to the beginning of the Bible

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_01]: everything that God

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_01]: named that He done for the people

[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_01]: it brought me back

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_01]: to Joseph

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_01]: it brought me back to how

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_01]: His brothers through him

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_01]: into that pit

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_01]: it brought me back to how God

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_01]: showed His self mighty

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_01]: on His behalf

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_01]: but He had to go

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_01]: through a lot of stuff

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_01]: but it was for God's glory

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think we need to be reminded of that

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that everything that we go through

[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_01]: is for the glory of God

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and God reminded me of that

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_01]: because man, your girl

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_01]: been going through some stuff

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_01]: these last couple weeks

[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I told my aunt, yes, it look

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I said, I feel like I met the end of my rope

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and she told me two things

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_01]: that I've been holding on to. She said

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_01]: A, tie it not at the end of that rope

[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and hold on. She said, because remember

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't get my crown

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and so you get there

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and so I love about my aunt

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and she said, too

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_01]: She said, Satan after your

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_01]: annuited glory, be the God

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and when she said that

[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I stood up a little bit taller

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_01]: these last couple weeks

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and I said, I can't let him have

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I can freely give him

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01]: what God gave me like

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_01]: East all day would Jacob

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So reading this as Joshua

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_01]: is speaking to the people

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_01]: every mind may have all that stuff

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_01]: how Joseph brought

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_01]: them into each of

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_01]: how they grew to be many

[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_01]: how the Pharaoh at that time

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_01]: said, wait a minute

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_01]: it's too many of them

[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and he decided

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_01]: he wanted to start killing the boys

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_01]: now his people are many

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_01]: the Israelites are many

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and everything that God said he was gonna do

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_01]: He was gonna do with the exception

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_01]: as I ran on

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_01]: when he said

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_01]: don't

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_01]: for them not to

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_01]: He said, don't make

[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_01]: mention of the name

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_01]: of their gods

[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_01]: nor call anyone to swear by them

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_01]: you should not be, you should

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_01]: not serve them, nor bow down

[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_01]: to them, you should not hold fast to any of their gods,

[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_01]: but you should hold fast to God.

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I started to think about the venture of Joseph,

[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_01]: the venture of how they became many,

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_01]: how they became enslaved,

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_01]: how Moses came along, God brought Moses along

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and to bring them out.

[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But he told them one detail,

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_01]: that I think that we all forget.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_01]: He told them to destroy everything

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and they didn't destroy everything.

[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Starting with Ray Hab, even though Ray Hab was used as for a purpose,

[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_01]: she was used for a purpose,

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_01]: her and her family got to come along.

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_01]: They were foreigners because she hit the spies.

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_01]: But then you had this other group of people

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and I don't want to get their names wrong.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_01]: The ones that lied to Joshua.

[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_01]: They came along because they were scared and said,

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_01]: hey, we traveled a long way after get what group it was.

[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to try to flip back right now,

[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_01]: but they came with their messed up clothes

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and sandals in a brilliant, molded, brilliant.

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But they were the next door neighbors,

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_01]: but they got the people and Joshua, the leaders

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and Joshua to make a covenant with them

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that they couldn't go back on.

[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So now you got two sets of foreigners,

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_01]: amongst God's people.

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And then as Joshua was allocating out the land,

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_01]: he told the tribe of Vanessa,

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_01]: gate and I think it was Ruben to go drive out the kingdom nights,

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_01]: from among them.

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But they didn't drive out all the kingdom nights from among them.

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So now you got three sets of foreigners.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is why Joshua was telling them,

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_01]: make sure you don't turn aside from the right hand

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_01]: or the left hand because temptation is there.

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Satan is busy and we can all apply this

[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_01]: to our daily lives.

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_01]: My aunt always says,

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Victoria, you love that old testament

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and I always try to tell her,

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just in the reading of the old testament

[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_01]: for the podcast, but I'm in the new testament as well.

[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But what I love about the old testament,

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_01]: it keeps me grounded in what not to do.

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It keeps me grounded in what not to do

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_01]: because God told us all to worry about our own soul salvation

[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_01]: in fear and in trembling.

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So I want to worry about my own soul salvation

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_01]: as well as servitude.

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Being a servant for God, whatever that may look like for him.

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He told me to read the word.

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I took it a step further and I like to talk about it

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_01]: because I like to talk.

[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But whatever job he has for me,

[00:51:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to be able to do it

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and I want to be able to do it well.

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether it's weeping the floor of the church,

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_01]: or whether it's ministering over somebody

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_01]: or ministering to someone, telling my testimony.

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I feel like our testimony should show up

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and should flow like a river

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and I don't mind telling my testimony.

[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind telling people how God has been so good to me.

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Every day is not a good day.

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I am very OCD.

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I was telling you guys earlier that is OCD is that,

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm like everything in place.

[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I wrote on my mirror and my bathroom

[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_01]: to start commanded my day.

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I was going through a rough couple of weeks

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and I know Satan ain't finished trying to beat me down

[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_01]: but I also know that I'm going through a test.

[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_01]: This ain't nothing but a test.

[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a setup for a test alone

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_01]: because when God gets finished with me,

[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna be able to do whatever job

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_01]: that he's given me and I'm gonna be able to do it very well.

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But I gotta go through the fine tuning

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and it does not feel good to the flesh,

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_01]: but we're trying to kill the flesh.

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_01]: We're not trying to hold on to the flesh.

[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_01]: We ain't trying to tame it.

[00:53:03] [SPEAKER_01]: We're trying to kill it.

[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything that is not like God is in us.

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We're trying to get rid of it.

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't want not to remnant hanging around.

[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_01]: As Josh will tell the people,

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_01]: not a remnant

[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and I know he's not through with me yet.

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It may take him a few months,

[00:53:24] [SPEAKER_01]: it may take him a few years, but when he gets done,

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna be able to deserve saying that how Laluia any out.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I know that I will,

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_01]: because he's a faithful and he's a just God.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_01]: He knows the thoughts that he has for me.

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_01]: But while I'm going through it,

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_01]: my flesh don't feel good, I've cried,

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I've screamed, I've yelled,

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_01]: but I have not walked away.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I've even learned a few new things to,

[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_01]: from some of my brothers and Christ,

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_01]: some of my sisters and Christ,

[00:53:56] [SPEAKER_01]: on how to stay grounded.

[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And we need people to lift us up.

[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_01]: We all need people to lift us up and to help us.

[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So glory be to God

[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_01]: that we have that in each other.

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Lord.

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Von Eric for showing up to the show today.

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, you didn't comment on Facebook,

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_01]: but thank you for showing up to the show today.

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I just wanted to give shots out to you guys

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and just let you know that I thank you for showing up

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and listening to my testimony

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and listening to the reading of Joshua.

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Because Joshua gave them some great, great gems

[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_01]: for the people.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But witnesses,

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_01]: what is your witness look like?

[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you Holy Spirit.

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_01]: When you walked up in the front of that church,

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_01]: or possibly even did it at home,

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_01]: you stood in front of God and said,

[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_01]: that I make this vow to you

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_01]: that I repent of my sins,

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_01]: that I repent of my sins,

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and I make you my Lord and Savior this day.

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That means he's gonna do a new thing in your,

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_01]: he started doing a new thing in you.

[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But he need a little help, man.

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_01]: He need a little help.

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He need a little help.

[00:55:38] [SPEAKER_01]: He needs you to do what you said you was gonna do.

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And try to stay away for some of the stuff

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_01]: that you used to do and let him do a new thing in you.

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Because you can't put new wine into old wine scans.

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He gave that to me about a month ago

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and then stuck with me.

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You cannot put new wine into old wine scans.

[00:56:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And I researched that about two years ago

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_01]: and because they're burps,

[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_01]: so let God do a new cover.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Let him do a new inside.

[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Let him remake you from the inside out

[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_01]: because I can sit up here

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and I can look as pretty as I want to with my hair,

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_01]: my makeup and all that stuff.

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But if I'm rotten on the inside,

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_01]: all this is a shale of something that made burst.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_01]: If I'm not doing what I told God

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_01]: that I was gonna do,

[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_01]: he's trying to pour into me

[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm still trying to deal with that old skin.

[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And it does take time.

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think one of the things that God

[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_01]: he laid on my mind years ago

[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_01]: when I start to testify to the young people

[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_01]: is to be understanding

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_01]: that this is a whole new generation

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and we have to go at it a whole different way

[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_01]: but overdo it.

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Let them know,

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I made slips, I failed.

[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I stumbled,

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I repent,

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I had to repent again,

[00:57:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I stumbled again,

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I had to repent again,

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I stumbled,

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't change that right away.

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't change that right away.

[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I stumbled again,

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I felt like I wasn't worthy.

[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I said God ain't giving me another change

[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't fail too many times

[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_01]: but as I looked back over that,

[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_01]: he did give me another chance,

[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_01]: over and over and over

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_01]: because it was not how I failed.

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It's because I knew I stumbled

[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and as bad as I felt about that stumble,

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_01]: about that fall,

[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I got back up and I said,

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_01]: you know what?

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't got nothing else to go back to.

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_01]: In my mind when I looked behind me

[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have nothing to go back to

[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's hard some days,

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_01]: it's hard some days.

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes I've gone through things

[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been around people

[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_01]: that wanted to tempt me with my advice,

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_01]: my advice was alcohol

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's easy to say you know what forkid it.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have me a drink today but I don't.

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I cried out,

[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought for it,

[00:59:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I asked God where he had and he said,

[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_01]: right where I left you,

[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_01]: right where you left me,

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_01]: not he left me but I loved him.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And I get up my knees,

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_01]: what my tears,

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_01]: what my sorry self

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and I cried,

[00:59:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I asked God to forgive me of my thoughts

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_01]: of going but thinking,

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_01]: even thinking of going back

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_01]: to something that he delivered me from.

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's not gonna be easy

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and that is Satan's job

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_01]: is to throw snares and traps at us.

[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Joseph just told Joshua just told the people that.

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And I want to cling that up too

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_01]: because I see it in my last episode

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_01]: for you guys that listen to the last love,

[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I kept saying,

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Joseph and I meant to say Jacob,

[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I started to my head and not my heart.

[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm learning to try to slow down

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and process the things

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_01]: that are coming out of my head

[01:00:09] [SPEAKER_01]: for them to come out of my mouth

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and God, no, I don't want to be sitting in this chair anyway

[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_01]: but I'm being obedient

[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_01]: because he told me a year or so ago

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_01]: to start reading the word aloud.

[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Not to minister,

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but it becomes a part of ministry

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_01]: but for those that may be on the go

[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: that didn't get they word in this morning

[01:00:30] [SPEAKER_01]: or perhaps someone that even never even picked up their word.

[01:00:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the purpose of me doing this.

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So I thank you guys for joining me today

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_01]: for the book and the reading of the book of Joshua.

[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We're finally done after we took so many dips

[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and tricks and turns,

[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and we finally got through it

[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_01]: but Gloria beat a God,

[01:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: we started it in I think March,

[01:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: April right before Easter

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and we're finally getting through it

[01:01:07] [SPEAKER_01]: but we took some turns

[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and God did do us like that.

[01:01:12] [SPEAKER_01]: He'll take us around the corner, up the block

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_01]: over the mountain,

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_01]: around the curve, through the wilderness

[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and we'll be looking at God saying

[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_01]: why we couldn't just go straight and go left

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: but he took us that way to show us something

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and have not shown us something to teach us something

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: of not to show or teach us something

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: to break us from something.

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And I believe I'm in my break in season.

[01:01:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's not through with me,

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: he's not gonna be through with me

[01:01:51] [SPEAKER_01]: for a very, very, very long time

[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'm stubborn, I'm hardheaded,

[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a stiff neck person, just like the Israelites are.

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But God's grace and mercy is new every single day

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and even though he gets angry with us,

[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: he does not break his promises.

[01:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And he promised me a future and a hope

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and I plan on the whole tight,

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: no matter how many obstacles Satan tried to throw my way.

[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I plan to hold tight.

[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So you guys, we blessed in your day today.

[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just so excited about my test results

[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and women make sure, make sure,

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: make sure you get your mammograms.

[01:02:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you follow through their free,

[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I sing a little song out here where I'm at,

[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: that said they're free.

[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And they even got walking clinics.

[01:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So nobody has any excuse though.

[01:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have any insurance, they got walking in clinics.

[01:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Let God do what he's say he was gonna do when you

[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and go get shit, we gotta do our part too.

[01:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Peace and bless us to you all.

[01:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: God's don't forget about the senior drive

[01:03:15] [SPEAKER_01]: that I'm doing for Christmas.

[01:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I've got it down, packed of what I'm going to give.

[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm asking for donations as small as $99

[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: up to $10.

[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: The package I put together for the seniors

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: at the restaurant is gonna be a package

[01:03:34] [SPEAKER_01]: that's no more between 10 and 15 dollars.

[01:03:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I've got two organizations that's donating,

[01:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: but I'm looking to give more.

[01:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We're starting out with 50 men and 50 women

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: that don't have family to come to see them

[01:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: in these facilities, but have got bless us

[01:03:57] [SPEAKER_01]: with more than we'll give more.

[01:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm gonna make a flyer and start running it

[01:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: on the pages for anybody that wants to give,

[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: you can hit me up at vtsmart1.

[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the number one at gmail.com.

[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It will tell you if you want to support this podcast.

[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It'll give you an option of $499 and up.

[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: You can hit that and you can pay $499 a month.

[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Those proceeds are gonna go to the senior Christmas

[01:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: program that I'm trying to do in the triad right here

[01:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: in North Carolina.

[01:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't want to do it that way,

[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: you can get a t-shirt at 12th Street Top Back T-shirt.

[01:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: They're $32 now.

[01:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Only $6 of that is going towards the senior services

[01:05:02] [SPEAKER_01]: program.

[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: We have to pay the lady that makes them.

[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: She has to ship them out to you.

[01:05:08] [SPEAKER_01]: So some of that is going for shipping and handling.

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And then $6 of that is going towards the senior

[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: program.

[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_01]: So you got three different ways you can give,

[01:05:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm almost teetering on the edge of doing a go-fun me.

[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: This is how bad I want to implement this.

[01:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I did not get to do it solely under the 12th Street Top Back

[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm a brother, brother, last year.

[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But I did get to go out with my auntie in Virginia

[01:05:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and give out some things.

[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was wonderful to do.

[01:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But I want to start something here

[01:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: in the state of North Carolina.
