Read: Joshua 3:10,14,15; Isaiah 41:10-20
Devotional
We call on the Lord to drive out the enemy, just as Joshua declared to the people in Joshua 3:10; “And Joshua said, hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites , … and the Jebusites.” We must trust that the Lord will surely do it and the enemy knows we cannot lose with the Lord on our side.
Therefore, the enemy feels threatened and whenever the enemy is threatened, he will attack by fighting us. Satan will not waste time to attack you if you are not engaged in any spiritual exercises. However, any time you are obediently moving with the Lord, fasting and praying or waiting on the Lord, the enemy will attack you because you are a threat. The good thing is our enemy is not all knowing, he is not creative and we are not ignorant of his devices. He will use fear, oppression and any destructive force available to try to shut down those things that bring glory and honor to God.
As we journey with the Lord, to where we have never been before, we must not allow the enemy to keep us down because we have nothing to fear. The enemy cannot destroy us and the enemy cannot take us from God. We are made perfect through Jesus Christ and we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loves us.
As we journey with the Lord, to where we have never been before, we must take God at His word and believe that God would keep His promise to cut off our Jordan River once we get our feet wet by stepping out into the river. Joshua said that Israel could know for certain that God would give them the land of Canaan when they saw Him miraculously stop the Jordan River. But they still had to step out in faith. God is calling us to walk by faith and not by sight.
As we journey with the Lord, to where we have never been before, we must be strong and courageous; not be afraid or terrified because of the enemy, because the LORD our God will go with us and will never leave us nor forsake us. The Lord will not only part the Jordan river, we shall surely walk on dry ground, that is our God’s specialty.
As we journey with the Lord, to where we have never been before, we must remember that God works powerfully when His people take Him at His word and step out in faith. Be encouraged, for with God nothing shall be impossible, so as we fast and pray, may we see God do great and mighty things. Amen!
