Discuss Joshua 1 Page 2

Psalm 19 along with Romans 1 demonstrate that all of the universe testifies to the whole world of the presence of God as well as to His order to the design of the universe. We can; therefore make a transition from the One who created the laws of nature to the written law and statutes ordained by God. (The word statute apparently means a specific enactment of a law).

Some degree of apologetics here is in order to explain the most common objection to the statement of the sun and its apparent movements here on earth. (see also Job 9:7). Often this is dismissed as a superstitious viewpoint of the earth being the center of the universe with the sun revolving around it. When taking into account the movement of our galaxy; for example we see how the sun moves through it's own "circuit" as it were through our local system of stars and how in fact our galaxy moves in its cluster of surrounding galaxies through the universe. So; therefore there is a certain pattern that it has in regard to the bigger picture as the earth has. We also need to remember the verse in Joshua when the sun stopped for a day and the moon ( Joshua 10:13) as well a when the sundial returned back to where it was ( 2 Kings 20:1-11). There are historical accounts as well of supernatural events such as the sun and moon turning dark during the crucifixion in different parts of the world.

Notwithstanding; of course it is clearly not a "bridegroom" as verse 5 indicates; so we need to take symbolic language if literal cannot b taken as should be the rule in all scripture!

Note how law; fear; statutes and judgment are all things which we should think upon. This is the sentiment of verses 9 to 11. We are not given an indication what are "presumtous" sins (v. 13) or "secret faults." (v. 12). We do realize that in meditating on the Lord we are focused on Him and this readiness keeps us from slipping (see meditating day and night verse Joshua 1:8).

Follow God all true

Hello Sdvresortz,

Jesus promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. ( Joshua 1:5), He promised that He will be with us always unto the ends of the age. ( Matt. 28:20).

So, be assured that these promises are true and for us as it was for those whom these words were spoken to Joshua and the apostles.

Believe Jesus is truly present with you now whether you are thinking about Him being with you or not, whether you feel as if He is with you or not, whether you sense His presence with you or not.

It was said of Enoch that he walked with God in this life. Also said of Noah and Abraham. Most likely they did not always sense, feel nor were thinking that He was always with them at all times, but He was. Walking with God is done by faith as these patriarchs did, daily seeking to do His will and commune with Him through prayer and worship, but also God was communing with them in the day to day living and activities that occupy our time and minds when we are not directly seeking His Presence. He is still always there with us.

I try to be thankful for this, knowing that there is not a millisecond of time when God is not with me. I am thankful for His constant care and preservation of my life, giving me every breath and heartbeat. I am thankful that I can always turn my heart to Him and inquire about what His will is in any circumstance. And I am thankful for the everyday, seemingly mundane things like a sunny day, rain when it is so needed, the sprouting of seeds for food or flowers, the purr of a cat desiring to be petted and loved on, and the presence of my husband and sons from day to day. I am blessed!

Hello Sister Ruth. I believe you're referring to Joshua chapter 7 and to Achan's sin. We only know what has been given us in this chapter and specifically that Achan had taken the garment, silver & gold and hid them in a hole in the ground. And we also know that when his sin was found out and to spare the children of Israel the full force of judgement against them, both Achan & his family were judged & condemned to death.

Though not mentioned, it seems likely (and this is only a personal thought, not in Scripture), that someone in the family may also have been aware of what Achan had done; it would be difficult to carry & conceal such a large booty from family, even others continually milling around his tent & in that area. He may have sworn his family to secrecy, thus drawing them also into condemnation since they did not reveal his sin to Joshua when first known. And so his family, animals, even his tent were destroyed, thereby removing every blemish of sin from their midst. This act satisfied God & He returned to bless them & gave them victory over their enemies (Joshua chapter 8), and Israel would have had another powerful lesson about having a proper fear of the LORD, that what the LORD says must be obeyed or there will be consequences.

Joshua 1, I believe the story you're looking for is in; Joshua 6 & Joshua 7,

Joshua 6:17-19, Joshua 7:1, Joshua 7:10-26, note Joshua 7:4-6,

Please read whole chapters

Did Joshua Family know about the stolen goods?

The shrinks like to say we get angry because we are afraid. The issue often is when we know something to be right; and people don't listen to what we say. There are also cases where we want something we can't have or are retaliating to someone else's bad behavior.

With anything else; it helps to look at the scriptures and meditate on them day and night ( Joshua 1:8). Obviously; we need to ask the Holy Spirit to remove things that would be roots of bitterness ( Hebrews 12:14-16). The evidence of bad fruit from a corrupt heart is found in the gospels ( Matt. 15:19). Other verses such as 1 Peter 2:1-2 and Ephesians 4:26-32 offer further advice.

I hope you will trust the Lord for these changes; not yourself. I found that after the anger that came from a contentious divorce after my wife had an affair was dealt with by much prayer; and counselling based on a study in the Book of James. (see James 1:19). God can and will give you unconditional love even toward your enemies. That was how I was able to forgive my dad after years of mental abuse; by telling him that I loved him. It is helping me having to live with him now.

Agape..Rich P

First I would ask if you have a personal relationship with Jesus. I know what is like to deal with death of parent. Both of mine has gone home to be with God. Grief is different for each person along with the time to get through the grief. Hopefully have a support system or have a resource to help you through.

Please Lord comfort Miss K as she is dealing with grief and anxiety. Please Holy Spirit enrich her with Your spiritual fruit that peace will flow in to her heart. Please Jesus strengthen her daily with Your Grace that she will be a testimony for Your Glory I pray!!

If you have a Bible, please consider meditating on these scriptures: Psalms 46, 91, 121, Isaiah 41: 10-13, Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:8-9.

Dear fine you "Gabriel Beaven", do not give up! When God does not answer, there is something wrong with you, you understand. In peace

He is the same today as yesterday. James 1:17

It may be an unresolved sin you have hidden, something you have put aside and then forgotten about. U must remember if you have promised the Lord something you have not done. Search the Spirit, the Holy Spirit will show you if you want to see it.

Once, many years ago, I met a lady who told me: God helps those who help themselves. I have thought about these words many many times. And tryed if they can suit you too. :) See it this way and forgive me if I'm wrong. If you are going to have something that you need in your food supply, you go and buy it, right. Physically we have to go, nothing comes up in our hands as we often wish. God will bless you in yours if it is in truth. And remember and use what you have received in the spirit. Then it will increase to the brim. I pray for u, Jesus loves u and i in Christ. You must surrender until Jesus Christ and does not hide anything. Luke 18:24-30 my favorite stand in Joshua 1:5-9 Amen.

Beloved "Mike" in my KJV it says in

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Now i do not doubt what you write here, and it's sad that you feel that way. Wake up dear friend, roll up your shirt sleeves and strike back with the Word of God. Jesus says that He takes them, your burdens. And never ever believe that the Lord is forcing you to do something that has not been tried by yourself several times. Another thing to be encouraged by the burden! It says you need to learn something. Make sure the Lord never leaves you. Proclaim it when needed. And be happy with what you have, always. Luke 19:11-27

1 Corintihans 10:13 1 Peter 5:7 and my favorite is Joshua 1:5-9

Hebrew 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

We pray for you to find a solution, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ be blessed in spirit, soul and body. ps. all thoughts is not from God. God words is. Jesus loves u and i loves u in Christ and all brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Samantha,

We are all sinners. In different ways. God still loves us and offers the opportunity to adjust and correct the paths we walk upon. Daily. He saved me and I'm here to tell you, He can save you.

Are you familiar with the parable of the lost sheep? ( Luke 15) If not it is wonderful to read while placing ourselves "in the hooves" of the lost sheep. Check it out!

Do not allow the condemnation of others to push you away from God. A true Christian should firstly approach this issue and others with the love that our Father has provided to each of us, when we were sinful or blinded. (We are not the Hebrew Israelites standing on corners shaming people. That is not what Jesus did.) Should you seek Jesus, you will find him. Which requires laying down of many things. To receive a new heart.

God Bless you and keep you!

Hi Samantha.

Homosexuality is a sin as well as heterosexual without marriage is fornication, stealing, killing, etc. When we accept Christ in our life, "On his terms" ( Romans-10:9-10.) he saves us. This comes after knowing we are sinners and condemned without him.

John 3:16-18. Notice the emphasis on believe in these verses?

God gives us his spirit to convict us, guide us, teach us and gives the power and strength to change us. Change may not come immediately but the guilt will. You coming on the site may have expressed that. Salvation is the works of Christ alone but when we're saved we are to bare fruit of righteousness and repent. Sanctification is a work of the Holyspirit. Being made new we shouldn't continue in sin. Not perfection but a continuance of progression. Romans 6:1-11.

Keep in prayer, God will judge you by your heart. If your heart is pure change will follow.

God bless.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:7

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8

I am warning you. Repent! You are kindling God's anger.

Part 4.

According to this dangerous practice the Bible exists only to help you learn more about yourself, and if it doesn't, then it can be replaced by any other book, scientist, experience, or gut feeling.

After all, the words are not what matter, and it is not about adhering to any one tradition. All that matters is whether you find solace, benefit, or help from how you read it.

This approach is identified by the question, "what does it say to you?"

Objective truth and facts cannot be understood without taking something literally. Spiritualizing is subjective.

Conclusion

Spiritualizing the Bible is the enemy of Bible believing dispensational study which tries to understand the meaning of God's words by the words.

Any attempt to retranslate, change the words, spiritualize, or otherwise separate the interpretation from the doctrinal and historical context of words on the page will lead to ignorance of the truth of God and his will.

If the Bible should be left alone and words matter to deliver meaning, then the Bible should be read literally.

This will eventually lead you to mid-Acts Pauline dispensational Bible study, understanding the truth, and knowing God's will.

One of the problems with over-spiritualizing is that you can forget the real meaning of the thing you are over-spiritualizing.

This causes over-spiritualization to have a devastating impact on the credibility of the church.

Another problem with over-spiritualizing is its propensity to narrate the wrong view of God. Those people and groups that excel in over exaggerating and over spiritualizing hardly give God any room in the normal workings of the world. He is omitted and ignored in the daily cycles of life and in simple acts of kindness. Yet Scripture says otherwise, God makes the sun and rain shine and fall on everyone

( Matthew 5:45.)

Just have to follow His written word, and you will walk in the right direction ( Joshua 1:8 ).

God bless.

Michelle,

This is what I learned about 1 Corinthians 16:13. It says, "quit you like men." "And like a man, I've quit several times!" Just kidding, that is not what it means. It's literally one Greek word that means be a man. Moreover, it is associated with courage! Remember what God told Joshua in Joshua 1:8-11? Be of courage Joshua for I am with you wherever you go. So it's not a human courage. It's a spiritual trust that no matter what, we can face anything in life because Christ is there.

You sound like me 40 years ago. My love life was many betrayals. I blamed God. Rama's far as I could, BUT He came to get me at my lowest point in life (near to death). He came to my house because I wasn't going to church.

He let me see Him, I felt like I had been resuscitated. Shocked. I was accused by a pal that astrology was FALSE. 2 Timothy 3:5. I had an old Bible, never opened. I read every scripture on stars, astrologers, false teachers, and then I saw the death sentence (promise) for being an astrologer.

My salvation was at home and I heard the wind of the Holy Spirit in my house!'

Please listen to me. In Song of Solomon, God says, I AM MY BELOVEDS AND MY BELOVED IS MINE. He says it 3 times. God loves you. That love is never going to leave you. He loves you so much, His Son bled and died for you. He is waiting to be the Lover of your soul. In Genesis 24 (I call it the True Romance Chapter).

God brings the man to his wife to be. She totally waters his camels with her veil on. She was obedient and fell in love at first sight of Isaac. She returned to his house on a journey, and was married in the presence of Isaacs ailing mother and with Abraham, Isaacs Dad. Time passes and it says that Isaac died with joy and happiness of that good marriage. Read it.

This time, after you fully commit your life to Jesus; pick a Bible Teaching Church. Help out in childrens church part time. Attend Singles meetings or start one: like potluck lunches after church. Be visible to the single guys. They are looking for a "Rebekah". A woman of character.

It's not about physical beauty. It's how a man knows to respect a woman. Meet her family. Let her Dad know she will be treated with respect. You'll find your mate

For now, ask the Lord to cleanse, restore your virtue, and make old memories and betrayals FADE_and restore to patient expectations.

Rekindle your relationship with your Dad. Ask him what made him pick your mother?

Melonie asks who we trust because her heart has been broken? God is Faithful!!!!

What do you do when your heart has been broken and you can't trust anyone? Why do I feel like that I am so hurt that I can't trust anyone are thing to get near me I just want to get my be along. I laugh with daughter and son-in -law some time. They keeps me going by picking them up from work and going to the store for me to get a break and then go to my car and sit for a minute sometimes. And my daughter calls me to to say where are you lady.

Please God enrich Val's family with Your love and grace that they will have peace in adversities, perseverance through life challenges and prosperity in servitude and stewardship for Your Glory. Please Holy Spirit guide this family daily in their spiritual life continually filling them with spiritual fruits I ask in Jesus Christ name!

Please consider reflecting on 2 Timothy 2:1, 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9, and 1 Peter 5:7.

Dear "Tarus", From childhood i have been ill and had a lot of problems, with various diseases. As i grew older, i became distressed and thanked YES to Jesus Christ. We witness the Lord Jesus Christ to experience that we are transformed.

2 Corintians 5:17

Be brave and strong, Joshua 1:9 and that's how it will be. You understand that something good can come out of all the misery. The most important thing for a human being to be saved!

God wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

It can often seem unfair, but it is man who is unfair. God is not Unjust, and He is not tempted by any evil. The unrighteous comes from the wickedness of man in a world full of hatred. James 1:13

Even the Word of God can cause pain if you do not live right with the Lord. For there have come days when we cannot bear to hear the right doctrine.

Romans 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

2 Timothy 4:1.8

Ilya,

You ask: Where are the waters from above?

The moisture including rain and snow fall to our earth, from the Heavens above. God can provide us with this vital water, and can also take it away. He reminds us of this periodically, with floods, and droughts.

When you say impossible: nothing is impossible for God.

Luke 1:37

"For with God nothing shall be impossible."

God Bless.

We love Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison , don't know if Roy was a Christian but Mr Cash definately was , we are going to hear some awesome singing in the world to come , I have a terrible singing voice ! Music is an instant fix for me , it is such a joy and it even helps me to get through all the boring chores of the day . How awesome must the Israelites have sounded as they sang songs of praise in David and Solomon's days .

One night I kept hearing this same song being sung in my spirit. I almost got annoyed with my brain!

Then it hit me. The Holy Spirit was singing it.

I get in the closet under the clothes :D

It's one of my fav songs: "I Walk The Line" by Johnny Cash. First I'm thinking I missed it, made a mistake?

He starts singing and so do I. He was singing to me! I love him so much my heart feels about to erupt. You'd think he'd prefer Handells Messiah, but He knows what we are on the inside. I always wonder if I gross Him outbut He sings a country tune with me. Happy tears!

GENESIS 1

14 And God said, Let there be LIGHTS in the firmament of the HEAVEN to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the STARS also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

No offense, but your claims are hollow. God made all provision for mankind. Read Proverbs 8:21-36

The Bible, the ENTIRE BIBLE; is about a person: JESUS CHRIST. From Genesis to Revelation.

> IF HE HAD WANTED TO INCLUDE A CHAPTER explaining: space, what's under the oceans, land masses, and all that scientific jazz__no scientists, archaeologists, geologists, Vulcanologists, meteorologists etc would've been able to be BORN AGAIN. Science was to teach them SOMEONE MADE ALL OF THIS!!! Romans chapter 1.

In saying what you did, as Romans 1 says: You are without excuse. You've kicked the GODHEAD to the proverbial Curb.

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) Action. executes the spoken word.

You can't imagine anyone greater than you are. Worshipping stars and planets carries a death sentence. I used to be one of those people. And then Jesus appeared to me in a vision. I saw Him.

2 Timothy 3:5. I was teaching something that had no power. He's the only one who can save you from the darkness just out of our range of sight. You haven't a clue what you are missing out on: Knowing personally the Person who made all of this. Knowing his mind, his heart, his voice in your spirit. Telling you that you are LOVED.

come back
