This morning when I went to read my bible, the Lord put Joshua 1 on my heart immediately as I opened my bible…so I’m reading Joshua 1 and things began to stick out that have never really caught my attention before…I always knew God told Joshua to be Bold & Courageous, but he told him specifically 3x’s to be Bold & Courageous. Verses 5-9 were the commands and the instructions God gave Joshua but this is what caught my attention:
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be carful to obey all the instruction Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them turning to the right or the left. Then you will be successful in all that you do. 8Study this book of instruction continually and meditate o it day and night so that you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. 9This is my command- be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discourage. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:7-9
God has given us His word to live on and study, He has given us everything we need to prosper and succeed; we just have to put it to use…and seek Him, and study his word. When we study his word are mind will be renewed through the act of getting His word down in us, and firmly rooted.
In the book by E.W. Kenyon “Two Kinds of Righteousness” It was talking about how when we become saved, and we begin walking in what God has for us are right standing is restored, and under that section in the book, this phrase(s) stood out:
“Righteousness comes to us in the New Creation. It restores our standing before God. It takes away the old Sin Consciousness that has crippled and robbed us of all our spiritual initiative, confidence and assurance in His presence. It restores to man a standing before the Father on the same ground that Jesus enjoyed in His earth walk.”
“Remember the fearlessness of Jesus in the presence of the Father and His fearlessness (and boldness) before Satan.”
My question was how did he have it, because well I want it to, the answer:
“He knew He had the legal right in the Father’s presence. He knew He was the Master of Satan and all his Forces.”
“He had no sense of inferiority in the presence of death. He had no sense of inferiority in the presence of disease. He was not afraid to speak to the maimed and command them to become whole.”
Point blank is Jesus knew who he was in the Father, and nothing intimidated Him because, there was no need for it to, because “Greater in He that is in me than He that is in the world.” (I don’t know the reference)
SO JUST BE BOLD!
