Crossing Over || Part 4, Day 4


Joshua‬ 1‬:1‬-11‬ NKJV‬‬

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’”


Church, how would we prepare ourselves if someone came to us and said, “In the seventh month of this year everything you have been believing God for will manifest in one week?” How would you prepare yourself if you knew that 40 days from now, everything you have been wanting to happen in your business would manifest in one day? How would you prepare yourself if you knew that in three months, to the day, God was going to use you in such a way that it would shake the nations of the earth?


How would you prepare? I’m telling you to start preparing. Allow your believing to step into action. Allow your faith to step out of the realm of just believing into actually acting. Allow your faith to move from what you are praying about and speaking into what you are doing. Allow it to step into what you are preparing for.


You see church, we must be watchful and prayerful against deceiving spirits. Think about it, if someone comes on one of the major news networks and says the economy is going down this year, everyone believes them and will start preparing for such. In other words, we will have more faith in the negative news someone gives in the media than we will over a positive word that the Lord gives us in His word.


I’m telling you by faith prepare yourselves to step into the promises of the Lord this year. Prepare yourselves to walk in the prophetic word of the Lord this year. We are not preparing to go down. We are not preparing to lose. We are not preparing to be defeated. We are not preparing to shrink back. We are not preparing to be fearful and timid. No! We are preparing to possess the land! We are preparing to cross over the Jordan.


We are preparing to watch the walls of Jericho fall. We are preparing to live in a land that flows with milk and honey.


Let’s pray…
