The Cycle of 40 Phase 1 Pt 4. Judgment.
The Cycle of 40 Phase1 Pt 3. Judgment.
The Cycle of 40 Phase1Pt2. Judgment All I see is obedience from Noah from the word go.
Look at this: Gen 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. Gen 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. The Cycle of 40 Phase1 Pt.1. Judgment I had previously done this study on the significance of 40 days and 40 nights in scripture.
I did this study probably 10 years ago, at least. So I decided to revisit it to see if God wanted to reveal anything else to me. He sure did. So I’m going to start posting this study, and hopefully, someone will find it enlightening and get blessed. Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 12. This study has just been confirming things for me that I was already discovering.
Attitude makes a world of difference. You cannot be an effective leader without a good attitude.Before venturing into the promised land, you must do your due diligence (research)Instead of viewing mountains, fortresses or giants in your path as impossible obstacles, ask the question, “How can I?” Have a “can do attitude.”Have faith in GodAfter spying out the “land,” you must take action.Receiving does not involve something being “dropped into your lap.”Hesitation is not a part of the action of faith.If God gives, it is ok to go and take. John Maxwell also gives some attitude axioms suggested by the words and actions of Joshua and Caleb. He says, “Consider this: It took 40 years for Joshua’s leadership style to match the need of the moment. The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 11. If only they had listened to the minority report from Caleb and Joshua, who stood up at this point and again, proclaimed the power of God.
Num 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: Num 14:7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good land. Num 14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. Num 14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not. Had they listened to them their attitude would have been much better: They would have obeyed God Insisted they should enter and possess the land Displayed courage rooted in faith Felt calm assurance Saw themselves in relationship to God.
The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 9. Deu 1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Deu 1:30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; Deu 1:31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. So Moses attempts to reason with those who are beyond reasoning with. They had already made up their minds. This is why I suspected that the spying expedition was agreed upon simply as a stalling tactic. Its like the mentality I have heard from some African Americans that say they can’t live in certain neighborhoods. Deu 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Jer 2:9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead. What really happened? The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 8. I discovered something else as well.
The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 7. There seemed to be a lot of attitude problems going on here with the people of Israel, and it is evident that this was the reason that that entire generation had to die out, prior to the people being led into the promised land.
What gets me here, is that this particular generation had a “slave” mentality, and this prevented them from going forth and achieving. I look at the poor and middle classes in this day and age, and I see the same thing. I’m trying to evolve in my thinking from that outdated way of thinking, so this is waking me up more. The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 6. Num 13:23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Num 13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. Num 13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. Eshcol = “cluster” The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 5. Land of Canaan (film) (Photo credit: Wikipedia) The reason I have gone back in time here and am in the book of numbers, is that first I want you to see a little history on Joshua, so that you can see and understand a bit about his leadership style.
He was not the same sort of leader as Moses was. I want to see and understand what he was facing or what obstacles he encountered, because remember, they were going in to take the promised land. A lot of people, including myself, have struggled with the idea of “taking” anything. We’ve grown up with the connotation that to take what we want is a bad thing.

However, there was one more thing that Moses did before these spies embarked. The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 3. We are continuing with the names of the twelve spies to see if their names tell us anything about why 10 came back with a bad report, and only 2 had a good report. Map of ancient Palestine/Israel (Photo credit: cod_gabriel) The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 2. The first thing I want to do, is look at the names of all the twelve that were called to this mission of spying out the land, because I think that their names may reveal something about their mindset, and why it was that the majority only saw things that were too great to overcome. 12 staemme israels (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Num 13:4 And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
Reuben = “behold a son” The Victorious Life of Joshua Part 1. I recently purchased one of those chronological bibles that puts the events of the bible in the order in which it occurred. I find it interesting that God has me in this part of the bible at this particular point in time because of the things He’s been showing me lately. (I will return to my study in Isaiah later) Jos 1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, The first thing I didn’t realize is that when Moses died, God was the one who buried him. Additionally, Joshua’s name was changed by Moses. Thought For The Week 73. This weekend I went on a retreat. The retreat was organized by my pastor‘s wife and her team from the church. I like my pastor’s wife. She’s very different from most of the pastor’s wives I’ve encountered over the years. She’s very sweet and like the pastor has a very genuine humble spirit.
Now, typically I wouldn’t go to something like this. When she asked me if I was going to go, at first I said I didn’t know. Where did Cain get his wife? Curiouserandcuriouserx10 on Xanga. GETV - Global Evangelism Television.
