Jesus wants you to be strong and courageous!

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. Joshua 1:3 NKJV
 
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. Joshua 1:5 NKJV
 
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. Joshua 1:9 NKJV
 
God gave man dominion over the earth. Adam and Eve chose to listen to the lie of the enemy rather than the truth of God. They ceded power to Satan. Satan was given a measure of authority on the earth.
 
Moses died. It was Joshua who led the people into The Promised Land. The Lord told Joshua he will have the same authority Moses had. When Joshua led the people into the Promised Land they faced opposition. These verses speak of spiritual warfare. 
 
God is calling us to engage in spiritual warfare. He is promising to give us everywhere we set the souls of our feet. God is bringing the earth back under our dominion as extensions of His authority. Soon Jesus will set up His Kingdom upon the Earth. We will rule and reign with the Lord!
 
Joshua and the people of God were often outnumbered and overmatched when they went into battle. They were always victorious when they followed God’s commands and instructions. They never had any reason to be fearful. God was with them. 
 
There will be times when we are outnumbered and overmatched as we seek to live according to God’s commands and instructions. We have nothing to fear as we live our lives for Jesus. God will be with us!
 
We can call out to Jesus for help anytime of the night or day. We can engage in spiritual warfare by praying to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
 
God is commanding you to be strong and courageous. If you live by faith in Jesus He will give you every place that the sole of your feet tread upon. No form of evil will ever stand in opposition to you. Just as the Lord was with the saints of old He will be with you today!
 
Pray for people who are in bondage to be set free from sin. Ask the Lord to pull down strongholds in people’s lives.
 
Pray for Jesus Christ to be exalted throughout creation today!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
