I believe God has amazing things in your future. 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 6: I hope you enjoy this message. How many of you, 38 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 6: like me, want to go from just knowing the promises 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 6: of God to walking into. 40 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 7: The promises of God. 41 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 6: It's one thing something it's another thing to use what 42 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 6: you know to get where you need to be. You see, 43 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 6: God has already reserved a seat for you. He's already 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 6: carved out places for you. He's already reserved territories for 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 6: you to conquer and for you to occupy. We know 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 6: that that God has things for us. That's a promise, 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 6: But how we get to that promise is up to us. 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 6: God was speaking to Joshua. He was telling him, Joshua, 49 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 6: I have a place that don't want. 50 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 7: You to go. 51 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 6: But there's gonna be two enemies that you're gonna face. 52 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 6: Now you all know the story. Joshua and Moses were 53 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 6: brought out of captivity and were being transformed or or 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 6: being journeyed to the promised land. So they came out 55 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 6: of captivity, but they wandered in the desert. 56 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 7: So they came out of something, but. 57 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 6: They never fully got to where God had promised them. 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 7: So it was Joshua's term. 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 6: Moses had died and Joshua was standing in a place 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 6: that he had stood before. 61 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 7: Again. 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 6: God spoke to Joshua and he said, Joshua, I want 63 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 6: you to listen carefully to my instructions. I want you 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 6: to listen carefully. There's two enemies that you're going to face. 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 6: Listen to what he said in Joshua. One, he said, Joshua, 66 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 6: be strong and courageous. Then he went on to say, 67 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 6: do not be afraid and do not be discouraged, for 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 6: the Lord, your God is with you wherever you go. Okay, 69 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 6: he broke it down for Joshua. He said, Joshua, this 70 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 6: is what you need to be strong and courageous. He said, Joshua, 71 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 6: this is what you don't need. To be afraid and discouraged. See, 72 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 6: God made it clear, Joshua, I'm taking you to a 73 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 6: place that you're going to occupy, but you can't be 74 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 6: afraid and discouraged. 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 7: God wasn't making a simple suggestion. 76 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 6: He wasn't saying that, don't be afraid, don't be discouraged, 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 6: be strong. 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 7: No, God commanded Joshua. He said, Have I not commanded? 79 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 8: You? 80 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 6: Have I not commanded you? Do not be afraid, do 81 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 6: not be discouraged. You know. He didn't say, Joshua, don't 82 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 6: feel discouragement, don't feel fear. What he was saying was, Joshua, 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 6: don't identify with fear. Don't let it become part of 84 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 6: your identity. Don't let discouragement define you. He was saying, 85 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 6: don't hang around with fear and discouragement too long. 86 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 7: He says, because you're going places. 87 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 6: See so many times, you know, we think, wow, these giants, 88 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 6: they saw these giants. He was saying, it's not the giants, 89 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 6: it's not the Hittites, it's not the Canaanites. It's not 90 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 6: the jeb Besides, it's not even the cellulites that you 91 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 6: need to be afraid of, he said, Joshua, your biggest 92 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 6: enemy is fear and discouragement. 93 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 7: Fear and discouragement. 94 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 6: You know, sometimes when we feel fear, we entertain it. 95 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 7: Fear causes us to be discouraged. 96 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 6: And if you hang around with fear and discouragement long enough, 97 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 6: it's interesting how you can wrap it in a circumstance. 98 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 6: This is the reason this is happening to me. We 99 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 6: can literally take fear and we can make it such 100 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 6: an excuse that we can literally put a face to it. 101 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 7: We can name it. 102 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 6: See, it's Sarah in the office. That's why I can't 103 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 6: get ahead. It's my husband. He's been pushing me down. 104 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 6: He won't let me blossom. I'm not as talented as 105 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 6: other people. That's why I'm not where I should be. 106 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 6: It's my finances. Man, if I had more finances, I 107 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 6: could do so much more. You see, we create scenarios 108 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 6: and situations, but at the root of every one of 109 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 6: these is fear. And fear causes discouragement, and discouragement causes 110 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 6: us to be tormented. It causes us to sit down 111 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 6: instead of move forward. See, we cannot let fear be 112 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 6: an excuse for our life. God has already given us 113 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 6: the promise. He's already said, here's the promise. It's optional 114 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 6: if you're gonna get there. And he's saying your enemy 115 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 6: are fear and discouragement. You know, I was talking to 116 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 6: a girl the other day and she said, I'm in 117 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 6: this ministry, but it just seems like that, you know what, 118 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 6: no one will let me do what I want to do, 119 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 6: and you know it's hard for me. I feel it difficult. 120 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 6: I'm just gonna quit. I have seen so many people 121 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 6: quit give up. 122 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 7: A position because of people. 123 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 6: The first time that I ever spoke in church, I 124 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 6: was afraid. I was scared. 125 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 7: I wrapped that up in an excuse. I became discouraged. 126 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 7: I remember it Sunday again. 127 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 6: It was like a black clad was following me around. 128 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 6: I named it, I got an agreement with it. 129 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 7: I was miserable. Then I realized, you know what it's. 130 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 7: It's fear. 131 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 6: It's wrapped up in all these other things, but it's 132 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 6: fear that is the root of why I'm miserable. 133 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 7: And you know, you think about it. 134 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 6: We've got to recognize fear and discouragement, and we have 135 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 6: to unwrap it for what it is. See, it was 136 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 6: the enemy trying to steal my destiny. And can I 137 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 6: tell you he's gonna try to stop what God has 138 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 6: started in your life anyway he can. He'll use people, 139 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 6: he'll use circumstances, he'll make it look like something else. 140 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 7: But at the root of it all it is fear. 141 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 7: Fear always raises its. 142 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 6: Head as lack, not enough. I'm not enough, I don't 143 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 6: have enough. There is lack in this situation. That's why 144 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 6: I can't do it. 145 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 7: It's always based out of. 146 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 6: Lack and not enough, not good enough, not having enough. Listen, 147 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 6: do you feel discouraged sometimes? What are you fearful of? 148 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 6: That is the enemy's way of stopping you. See, too 149 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 6: often we're fighting people, We're fighting our circumstances, and God 150 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 6: is saying, don't fight people, fight fear and discouragement. Listen, 151 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 6: don't let anything or anybody rob you of your destiny. 152 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 6: Don't let people steal your future. 153 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 7: See. God told Joshua what he should be. 154 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 6: He should be strong and courageous, told him what he 155 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 6: shouldn't be. Don't be fearful, don't get discouraged. And then 156 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 6: he told him how to do it. 157 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 7: He said, Joshua, you're. 158 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 6: Going to fight fear and discouragement one way, and one 159 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 6: way only is when you take hold of my word, 160 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 6: When you get it out of your mouth, When you 161 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 6: chase discouragement and fear off with what I say. 162 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 7: When get it. 163 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 6: Into your thinking and you become, you meditate on it, 164 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 6: and you let it drop down in the very depths 165 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 6: of who you are. See, God didn't leave the building 166 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 6: because you're facing a hard time, You're facing people who 167 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 6: are difficult. He said, I will be with you wherever 168 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 6: you go. And if God will fight Joshua's battles, God 169 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 6: will fight your battles too.
