"Salvation- Building a New Life" part 3 (Canaan Land)

"From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Be strong and of a good courage : for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
Only be thou strong and very courageous , that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest .
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous , and then thou shalt have good success .
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage ; be not afraid , neither be thou dismayed : for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
Joshua 1:4-9

CANAAN LAND (The Carnal)

It would'nt be appropriate for us to go any further unless we explain a little about this land that the Adonai (Lord) says we must conquer.
This land was chosen and hand picked by Elohiym (God) himself. And represents vast smaller territories that make up the whole land. The symbolics here are fascinating! This whole book representing a walk through a transformation unto holiness that only our Elohiym(God) could aquire and put together. What a glorious and inspiring Elohiym(God) we serve. For there is no greater force in the heavens or on the earth that could hide such knowledge within the archives of our universe and designated these things solely for his glory and our success. He will not fail! He would not fail! He could not fail! For the cost of this Salvation was dear to his heart. It came in the form of Adonai Jesus our Messiah.

In a literal aspect we see a people, a people whose lineage and geneology trace all the way back to Noah. Only these people take another course. The demo-graphics as we know it trace back to the very establishing of Babylon. It is here that the epidemic could be seen in full force. And from this epidemic called sin they suffer major consequences. Utter confusion (Babylon), confusion about Elohiym first and foremost which sets them on a path for destruction and ultimately ruin if he would not intercede.
Many don't realize the devistating effects of this epidemic, and because we all seem to bare it, it very well may have become a norm. But Halleluyah! Here in the book of the one called Salvation we see wonderful remedies established in the pharmacy of heaven. Lets couragely continue our course! But first,,, what does Canaan represent?

"There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Be strong and of a good courage : for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them." Joshua 1:5-6


Canaan -- meaning: (materialism, trader, merchant)
The land of Canaan is, in fact, the "land" (reality) of the carnal mind or nature. It is the nature of the carnal mind to focus on materialism. It is the trader and merchant of all of its "things" (and the carnal mind incorporates into its reality many, many "things"). It is also the merchant and trader of all of these "things," which also carries with it an awful lot of baggage. It is the carnal "self."
Canaan is the place! Its territorial, its self motivated, it's egotistical. This is self without the unity of Elohiym (God). All the things we gained in the world in order to survive. Self dependency has to be killed and thrown out. As we said all these areas are not just some fluke, they were especially picked out. Keep this in mind as we watch salvation set out to conquer these areas but first some further lessons to be learned,,,,
We are to know our enemies! We may think we are just dealing with the devil, but most of the time Self is your greatest foe! In order for this conquest to continue realizing that our father Adam may have passed something unto us that when looking at the Adonai (Lord), we can't pass blame, we must see our "self".

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Romans 7:23


Look at Canaan as a continent. In the continent there are great areas called states, and within these states are cities. And this takes us right to where we left off. What area's have to be affected the most before the whole continent can be restored? Dealing with just the cities will give us minimal results. But you conquer a whole state at a time? You cover alot of territory quickly. Our state in our intellect is known as our "soul"

SALVATION FOR THE SOUL

Soul-(hebrew)-Nephesh=
soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion
that which breathes, the breathing substance or being, soul, the inner being of man
living being
living being (with life in the blood)
the man himself, self, person or individual
seat of the appetites
seat of emotions and passions
activity of mind
dubious
activity of the will
dubious
activity of the character
dubious

"Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ; and man became a living being (nephesh)." Genesis 2:7

Soul-(greek)-Psuche=breath
the breath of life
the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing 1a
of animals 1a
of men
life
that in which there is life
a living being, a living soul
the soul
the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions (our heart, soul etc.)
the (human) soul in so far as it is constituted that by the right use of the aids offered it by God it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness, the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life
the soul as an essence which differs from the body and is not dissolved by death (distinguished from other parts of the body)

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Matthew 24:37
(So visualize our whole bodies as the land (continent), our heart or mind is the city and our soul is the state. Each state has a governing seat (our emotions).

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Acts 4:32

"Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." Acts 14:22

"And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all." Revelations 18:13-14

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image , neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Revelations 20:4

Therefore the redemption is of the very precious thing that the Elohiym (God) blew into us. The thing that sets us apart from every other creature. This takes us right back to the beginning, the fruit that our parents digested got into our souls. This area, this "state" belongs and should only belong to the one it came from. And thank him that he was'nt about to just give it up without a fight.
The soul is said to be the seat of our emotions,,, don't confuse emotion with feeling! Feelings are just the results of the emotions. Love is an emotion that brings on many feelings,,,, Love the Adonai thy Elohiym (God) with all thy heart, with all thy soul and all thy mind. It was all Elohiyms to begin with and it'll all be his to end with. Salvation is for the soul.

The root word for the word Nephesh (soul) is the word Napach which in the hebrew means to be "refreshed".

"It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever ; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed." Exodus 31:17

"The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary and he refreshed himself there." 2 Samuel 16:14

Why do we need refreshing? We were in bondage in sin, we labored hard and long. We toiled and never saw an end to our suffering. We were wounded and beaten. We lacked daily nutrients and dwelt in famine. Sin is hard hard work! But Halleluyah the Adonai had a plan for our souls, a great refreshing, a wonderful restoration of peace and joy within the confine of our own being, where he himself would come and dwell and once again become the divine architect that he is. He would restore the barren places and heal all the wounds. He would set us on a new course, only if we could see! Our Salvation no longer draweth nigh. IT'S HERE!!! It came at the cost of a beautiful being and at the curse of an old wooden cross. Elohiym (God) in the form of a man would himself suffer for the epidemic of his people and every living soul, that he breathed the breath of life would be granted the wonderful opportunity to take a walk with him, on a new highway called "SALVATION".
The course is set, the foundation lain, so from now on as we travel this journey together through the land of Canaan, through Yahoshua (Salvation), verse for verse, may we be granted wisdom from on high, and be refreshed in our SOULS, this precious commodity whose cost was flesh and blood! Halleluyah and AMEN!

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

And it will be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people." Isaiah 57:14

Go through, go through the gates, Clear the way for the people ; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples. Isaiah 62:10

" Whom Seek Ye? "

After Yeshua had said all this, he went out with his talmidim/disciples across the stream that flows in winter through the Vadi Kidron, to a spot where there was a grove of trees; and he and his talmidim went into it.
Now Y'hudah/Judas, who was betraying him, also knew the place; because Yeshua had often met there with his talmidim.
So Y'hudah went there, taking with him a detachment of Roman soldiers and some Temple guards provided by the head cohanim/priest and the P'rushim/Pharisees; they carried weapons, lanterns and torches.
Yeshua, who knew everything that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Whom do you want?" "Yeshua from
Natzeret," they answered. He said to them, "I AM." Also standing with them was Y'hudah, the one who was betraying him.
When he said, "I AM," they went back ward from him and fell to the ground. (John 18:1-6)

How rich and abundant is the Word of Elohiym with abundant riches. And how many times we miss the mark of divine guidance and instruction so granted to us by the presence and mind of our Adonai. We thank him ALWAYS, for this never ending grace that was also granted to the patience of our Elders and and now unto us His saints. HalleluYah!!

Let us for a couple of earthly minutes journey back to a scene when the clock itself seemed to swiftly move as the time of Salvations path was about to be birthed into the world by an Old Rugged Cross and the neverending and unfathomable LORD of All, a title and name that is well deemed and deserved. Now as always beloved of Messiah theres always a couple of tid-bits we can view, and our understanding can be expanded. Strangely this depiction of the beloved apostle John is a little different in view but if we add the other gospels as One we get a grander picture of the events we have read in the above scriptures, into the comprehensive writ of the situation that is at hand,,,,,

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. (Matthew 26:36), and Mark 14:32. Luke reports the events this way,,,,,,,

And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done. (Luke 22;39-42)
Yes, the well known trip to Gethsemane the olive orchard (gath shemen= oil press). Keep that point, and lets go just a moment back one more time,,,," he went out with his talmidim/disciples across the stream that flows in winter through the vadi Kidron. " This is one more of those little things we talked about earlier. See we must realize there was a whole set of monumental preparations in motion at this time, just for us of the latter day to see and be assured and know that definately beyond a shaow of a doubt this was all by the hand of YHVH and not just chance or circumstance. The Vadi Kidron/Brook of Kidron has a somewhat notable history all in itself,,,,,,

Kidron= turbid, dark, to mourn, grow dark.

And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over : the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over , toward the way of the wilderness. ( 2 Samuels 15:23 )

For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out , and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die : thy blood shall be upon thine own head. (1 Kings 2:37 )

And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. ( 2 Chronicles 16:15)

And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron. (2 Chronicles 29:16)

And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away , and cast them into the brook Kidron. ( 2 Chronicles 30:14 )

Do we get the picture? This was not a very nice place beloved, for it's water and land had been a sort of dumping ground for dead things. We don't pay much attention the land today. But the land itself has history, is alive and needs healing, which can be seen from the very disasters we see raising up as we speak, the scriptures themselves state that the earth as a creature herself travails (Romans 8:19) Oh how man has abused her goodly produce.
Our Adonai and His talmidim pass through this area, a place of mourning after the Passover lamb has been eaten, the bitter herbs and the prayers of greatfulness of there saving grace granted to them by the blood on the lentels of their doors, they travel through this place of mourning, unto Gethsemane where the pressing and anointed prayers of the precious Lamb of Elohiym are lifted to the heavens, where he is so pressed he sweats blood and weeps, where he is then comforted and the angels, servants of His Abba are sent to minister unto him, (where are those that minister unto Him today?) the anointing through suffering that he will carry forth with Him in strength and determination to complete the task at hand,,,Saving of the whole world is on His shoulders, HalleluYah!!! But we are jumping the gun per-say,,,,,,

Now this could get a little humerous,,,,,,imagine all this is about to take place and this same prayer " THY WILL BE DONE " As Moshe before him and all those that carried purpose he knows " THIS CUP WILL NOT PASS AWAY FROM ME UNLESS I DRINK IT." ( Matthew 26:42) And he is pressed, pushed down, crushed. He rises from this glorious place,,,Yes we said glorious! How do we know? The power is seen right here,,,look with me, one more time,,,,,,,

Yeshua, who knew everything that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Whom do you want?" "Yeshua from
Natzeret," they answered. He said to them, "I AM." Also standing with them was Y'hudah, the one who was betraying him.

Do you see? Did you hear? It was at this moment in time, in a twinkling of an eye, that was above the reasoning of these poor soldiers that enter into an atmosphere that they are unfamiliar with. But quickly they are gonna experience it! Our Messiah, the God of our Salvation spoke his being, He spoke the same name he gave to Moshe at the burning bush, the very name that every Hebrew child secretly knew because of its power , for he said of himself and them that " My people shall know my Name " (Yesha' yahu/ Isaiah 52:6). And now these people, these gentiles, Oh! did you notice they are there together? Jew and Gentile in cahoots to take Him into bondage Elohiym himself????? " My Father and I are One" (John 10:30)

"Whom do you want?"

Who are you looking for upon the pages of this commentary? This Holy Writ from this humble servant and scribe? Whom do you seek beloved, as your heart is mourning from the pain of life, attached to and made from the dirt of the very creature that is now travailing awaiting the wonderful glory of the sons of Elohiym, that will bring some of His light back into its sick and ailing suffering of the centuries. Mourning together from all the death we have seen and sense to still come. For all the lost and down trodden ones that we are connected to by His Blood, our very brethren, the lost sheep of the House of Yisra'el. Children of One Father, One Lord, and One Spirit. Lift your voices, and CRY, lift up the grief and the suffering, seeking the MERCY of the ONLY ONE that could end this all and grant us the joy of peace and the determined endurance of our heritage. LIFT UP YOUR VOICE SONS OF YISRA'EL, LIFT UP YOUR VOICE DAUGHTERS OF ZION!!! Whom beloved of Messiah do you seek????

He said to them, "I AM."

He said to them Hayah YHVH Hayah! The EXALTED high and lifted up ONE. It is he the Almighty, the SHADDAI, the One and Only Omnipresent Elohiym, Our Lord and our God, Our King and our Salvation, before him there is none and after him there will be none. He is the ALEF and the TAV, the ALPHA and OMEGA. Our wonderful councellor, our PRINCE of Shalom, Our HEALER. HALLELUYAH and HALLELUYAH!!!! My goodness! Praise Adonai, and BLESSED BE HIS NAME, HALLELUYAH!!!

Okay beloved, now heres the finale, how do we know all this is true and just? POWER -DUNAMIS

When he said, "I AM," they went back ward from him and fell to the ground.

The WORD spoke and out of His Spirit the words of decades and eons of ages of time,,,,He spoke His NAME. For beloved it was this same Spirit that shone brightly for Moshe and spoke the words of the purpose and plan of His people so long ago. The Cloud and Pillar of fire that protected the nation of Yisra'el and the mixed multitude through the Sinai dessert, that protected them from the death, swords and threats of their enemies,,,,,,,,And they have fallen under the Almighty Hand of Elohiym and the heaviness of the Cloud of his Glory!!! JEW AND GENTILE. We did'nt say it, look in the Book!! What is earthly weapons going to do when you can't get up to use them? Even the betrayer at that moment was humbled before such holiness and righteousness. They were brought down, as we say today SLAIN. Just as when the priest that would enter in to Holies of Holies do, when the weight of the Shekinah Glory was present in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. These dear fellows,,,,,did they understand that they could'nt have touched Him if he had not surrendered unto them? O' Father!!
We don't have t stop here beloved, for this same scenario is played out until it's hour of ending, read Acts 1, read again the instructions. Look for the Passover, look for the brook of Kidron, the mourning and grief, the patience and determined endurance in prayer, praise and worship , being pressed until the POWER from our Father come, this POWER from on HIGH. No it does'nt stop, go back unto the ressurection, go forward to the day of Pentecost, the Jubilee. Can you see it beloved??? In can happen in you this very day, this very minute, the Spirit and the Bride say COME! HE WHOM IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE WHOM IS IN THE WORLD! (1 John 4:4) Cry with Him, pray with Him, Worship with Him, for all the abominations that you see. His Word is fast, swift and powerful, stable as a Rock, stand on it and speak with your voice cast it on His very breath, if he did this once he set an example for us to follow! So we speak Blessings and Wisom and Power in His Spirit on the Readers, Hearers and Doers of His WORD. HalleluYah unto the Almighty " I AM "!

Whom do you seek?
Where is it you are trying to go?
Pick up your crosses and follow me (Mark 8:34), he spoke,,,, and wait, in your suffering and affliction, wait on Him and be of good courage,,,, through the storms of this life,,,,wait I say on the Adonai Yahshua and He will strengthen your heart..... Whom do you seek?? And he said " I AM ".
reference----
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Salvation- " The Building of A New Life " part 2

" 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 ,
Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore arise , go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon , that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Be strong and of a good courage : for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
Only be thou strong and very courageous , that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest .
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous , and then thou shalt have good success .
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage ; be not afraid , neither be thou dismayed : for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:1-9

New life comes with new rules and commandments. Doing the same old stuff and looking for new results is excuse the term,, insane. Surely the Savior has done all these great works to free us from bondage, deliver us from the horrors of sin, transgressions and iniquity, even built a new highway just for us all to travel upon. Just like David he already purchased all the things we would need to fill and glorify his temple (us). And now he'll even help you design it and put it together, in his image.

SALVATION BRINGS CHANGE
Joshua in verse one is doing more than being told what to do, he's being repositioned. The communication instrument changes, the Adonai (Lord) needs to talk to him so that he will know what to do with his people. Notice it's not all about just Joshua but what Joshua-Salvation does for the people.

"Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore arise , go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel."

Now you gotta get up and move! Arise and go, see we can't stay in the same place and get the job done. This is the very first order, and the most important. Its not the first time we see this happen,,,,,
Noah has to relocate in the Ark- Genesis 6:13-22
Abraham had to leave the Land of Ur-Genesis 12:1
Not to mention the people come out of Egypt by the mighty hand of Elohiym (God).

And in each one of these stories there is a place of positioning, a goal of destiny. In this story of Salvation, its the land flowing with milk and honey. He tells him where to go! Over the Jordan=the descender,,,, we all must symbolize this death and rebirth. Many years later our Savior would be baptized in this very spot, keeping his own commandment, fulfilling completely it's purpose.
How does this apply to us? What is our planned destiny of our Salvation walk? The New Jerusalem!

"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon , that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses."
Heres the promise, supply and provision! It's all a part of the plan. Every word that was said by the mouth of Elohiym (God) will come to pass. He spoke it, we're a part of Salvation, we can have it,,,thats it! Do we make to little a thing of this Savation that carries with it, all the perks of our Savior and new life??? God forbid! Everywhere you walk and place your feet will be refreshed and alive, because of the resurrection within you. And we'll see why shortly. Halleluyah!

"From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast."

Remember they first walked the wilderness, now it's theirs, that place where they went through all their trials and affliction that brought them to this point. This Lebanon=whiteness, to be purified, grow white.
and to the great river Euphrates=to break forth into fruitfulness. (Seeing the change?)
Now when they are cleansed thus far, they are ready to take over or back their territory! Halleluyah!

So we now,,,,
Get repositioned
During which we keep constant communication with the Adonai (Lord)
Arise and Move
We are given supply and provision
We must die and be resurrected
We are cleansed and made ready for our fruitfulness

Now! whats the first land of our conquering? Every one of the "ites" of Canaan have something to do with the getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. These people represent character traits. See what we said, that everywhere Salvation would conquer would represent something conquered from within? Lets see,,,
" all the land of the Hittites,,,,,"
Hittite=descendant of Heth- Terror, fearful.

Fear and terror is not of Adonai (Lord) Jesus, instead his spirit is bold and fearless.
In the begining of the Adonai (Lord) calling me into ministry, I remember I used to be terrorfied I was going to say or do the wrong thing, fear that he would'nt be pleased and I would be a dissapointment to him. I remember we would have a conversation everytime I got asked to teach or preach, it went something like this,,,,," Lord I don't know why you got me doing this or how you even chose me, but I don't know what to do, so if your not coming with me I can't do it, I need you, help me, help your people."
I did'nt have any preachers or good mentors in my life yet, it was just me and Jesus, I did'nt understand that I had everything I needed and Also that was how he wanted it. And you know what happened??? He'd show up and show out, I was quoting scriptures I don't even think I read, with authority in my voice and I sang out of my toes (that means it went deep). After a while I learnt never did I have to rely on my own ability that he would do it, he would tend his people,,,,,guess what? The fear was gone!

Can you see why this Hittite is the first place in salvation Joshua has to allow the Adonai (Lord) to help him conquer? The first enemy within. For our Adonai's (Lord's) ways has nothing to do with fear,,,,,
"For Elohiym (God) hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " 1 Timothy 1:7

"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked,
17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"

"Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise" Isaiah 60:18

This is not something that we think about so we never give the Adonai (Lord) the opportunity to motivate and encourage us! So he's patient and long suffering and theres a people he has just waiting for you to help to their destiny! But first theirs those places in Canaan that need to be conquered. Then even all the great sea (his word) towards the place of the setting sun (west-symbolizes, mans richest things) and access to the beach to walk upon in the twilight is all yours!

",,,,and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast."

Our new life is so exciting. Knowing he'll be with us every step of the way. Remember he is the architect and supervisor, theres no kinks in his design.
Till we meet again, let the Spirit's voice echo into your heart, this is the building of New Life in our Savior of Salvation. Arise and Move, Do not fear!!!

The Savior That Gave You Salvation---"The Building of a New Life." part 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 ,
Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore arise , go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Be strong and of a good courage : for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
Only be thou strong and very courageous , that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:1-7

There are a couple of focal places in the scriptures about how it is to start fresh, learn to think different, grow, build and live in the new life that takes us eventually to the very likeness and image of Messiah. The book of Joshua is one of those places. Many for whatever reason have had a perspective already mapped out of the utopia that they believe this should be like. Sad to say many are soon dissapointed not being able to recieve the plan already mapped out for us by the ultimate knowledge and wisdom. Therefore are diverted and return to the cares of the world, that they thought was stable.

Someone asked me, "Can't you just do an ordinary bible study?", glad to say I don't know what that is! The scriptures are full of treasures and mysteries, when their unfolded before you, you start to realize, this is'nt just about king David, Moses, Jeremiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke or John,,,,, O'my goodness it's about Adonai (Lord)Jesus, O' my goodness it's about me!!! So at this point in my walk glad to say,,,, Father may my bible study never-ever be coined ordinary!!!

Well back to the purpose at hand!
In the book of Joshua the all time greatest encourager is in full force!!! The Almighty YHVH (JEHOVAH)!He does'nt just plan, put something together and then watch and see's what happens. Surely the delivery of the people of Israel should have made that point clear.
But what happens now, shows that he is the greatest Motivator, can you imagine not only does he speak, but when he speaks it creates,,,Awesome! Have you heard him? The only one that can talk to your whole being all at once?? Yes he is a quickening spirit!
So once again lets go take a journey and watch intentively " Elohiym's (God's) encouragement for Joshua (Salvation)!!!

" PRAYER OF ENTRANCE"
Father we thank you that you are all merciful and all wisdom, we come before you asking that you will show us your will through your word. We ask you to clean us and prepare us for this holy encounter in your presence, where this is the fulness of joy. Open our ears, help our eyes to see and grant unto us your divine understanding. For we know that you said, that if we lack knowledge we must ask you, and you said that you would give it unto us without measure. We thank you for your Spirit our minister and teacher. We thank you for the knowledge, wisdom and the understanding. We thank Adonai Jesus for making the way,,, for it's in his name we ask these things, and in the name of the Almighty Father YHVH (JEHOVAH) we pray in and by your spirit.
Selah, and Amen.

"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 ,,,,"

And this is how it all starts. Moses was selected and hand picked by Elohiym (God), he is taught and he recieves, he cries out and he conquers, knowing all along that it's because some how by the sake of grace, a promise is fulfilled.
But now Moses dispensation is over, and the people are still there. He labored well and labored long just to get them to this point 40 years in the wilderness was no drop in the bucket.
But like we said the Adonai (Lord) is a great planner,,,,

"And Moses rose up , and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God." Exodus 24:13

"And the YHVH (LORD) spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle." Exodus 33:11

"Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun." Numbers 14:30

" And Moses spake unto the YHVH (LORD), saying ,
Let the YHVH (LORD), the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out , and which may bring them in ; that the congregation of the YHVH (LORD) be not as sheep which have no shepherd .
And theYHVH (LORD) said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient .
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the YHVH (LORD): at his word shall they go out , and at his word they shall come in , both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
And Moses did as the YHVH (LORD) commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge , as the YHVH (LORD) commanded by the hand of Moses." Numbers 27:15-23

And that brethren is just a short summary of how we come to this point!!!
First you have the servant Moses whom represents our Adonai (Lord) Thee Savior, but it does'nt end there for after the great work of gathering a people now they must walk with Salvation!
Salvation- (hebrew) Y'HSHUA=
salvation, deliverance
welfare, prosperity
deliverance
salvation (by God)
victory
As we'll see here this is truly a journey! We are now set for a Salvation walk! Sadly many don't explain this. If you were like me, I figured, well the Savior already did all the work so what else is there to do? How many babes get detoured because this is not fully understood? How many old saints are just now learning this? Well not today! Halleluyah!
The Savior comes, he gets you out of bondage, he sets you in a place he prepared for you, he does'nt leave you, he walks with you pushes you, holds you up as you learn to shake off the old ways of the old man. He strengthens you when needed and encourages every step of the way. He has given you a map with complete directions. And if you get confused all you have to do is ask. But go you must! A transformation must take place.

Salvation comes with products for your welfare, instruments to keep you safe, well fed and well nourished and even clothing to keep you warm, and don't forget the armour for your warfare. All that you will need is at your disposal.

Salvation comes with prosperity, and abundance of supplies. But remember first he must prosper you in the impoverished places of your soul, he's not an outside in Elohiym, but a inside out one. Don't look for the outside stuff if he has not been able to complete the work on the inside first.

Salvation comes with manifestations of the Fathers goodwill in him and by him. Those things that you can bear witness to that only he could do.

Salvation come with victory!!!! Winning battles of those enemies on the inside and the outside!
We'll see in this study that the enemies that Salvation (Joshua) conquers on the outside are first being conquered on the inside.
This is just a summary and will set a foundation for our study through the book of Joshua. In the mean time search through chapter 1. Look for the treasures! And may you too share some with us.
All blessings, honor and glory to the Savior that paid the price for our Salvation! Halleluyah and Stay Blessed!
