Be strong & courageous!

I am reading Joshua chapter 1. In the short space between verse 6 and verse 9, The Lord is speaking to Joshua and tells him three times to be strong and courageous. 

"Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:6-7, 9 NIV)

The Lord is still with us today. If you know that God has spoken to you and asked you to do something for Him, be strong and courageous as you walk in obedience. 

Christine Caine

This past Sunday, Christine Caine spoke at my church. She's an amazingly gifted speaker that brings the word of God straight to your heart and spirit. The truth that she speaks is spiritually awakening and really captures your attention. It was a powerful message. This was the main topic that she spoke about:

"We can be delivered in the wilderness but not free in the promised land."

Her sermon was from the book of Joshua. 

I'm still editing the notes I took from her sermon this past Sunday, but would like to post more soon.
