1) God didn't let Joshua have anything in Jericho , but He let him have all the spoils in AI. Don't put God in a box, Gods ways are not our ways.....

2) God can conquer a city of people with 2, or if you mess with His program, He can send 521, 000 to knock down 3 people.
He may drop an atom bomb on a mushroom, or just kick down a wall.
Don't box God in. Come to the Lord and let Him lay the plan.....

3) If you want God talking to you, keep that hearing aid on when He isn't saying anything. Keep stopping in the midst of your activities and scurrying around, and say, " Lord here i am!" If He doesn't talk, you aren't to blame. But if you're not listening, don't get mad because He doesn't knock you down to get your attention.....

I believe putting God in a box is one of the biggest mistakes we make as humans. We try to bring him down to our level rather than to lift ourselves up to his. It is clearly unbiblical, "...my ways are not your ways". Today, this is clearly seen in our failed justice system. Imposing our ways has created a disaster. Murder now brings sympathy to the murderer....

1) Another symbol....
God said to Joshua, " stretch out thy spear that is in your hand toward AI."
This is the symbol of the one that stays in touch with God....
And a symbol like Moses, where Aaron and Hur held up his hands.
In this case, Joshua does it alone, and didn't lower his spear until the city was destroyed.....

1) Principal of Bible interpretation:

Never knock down a mountain of scripture we are certain of, with one uncertain passage....
Instead, give meaning to the uncertain passage by what is certain.....

2) We don't need to discover any new truths, we need to rediscover the old truths....

3) God warns us in His book over and over, don't be dull of hearing.....

1) "Holy" means "possession ", not performance.

2) All the responsibilities are not on the sower. The kind of soil on which the seed falls , determines in part, the fruit.

3) The "parable of the sower " is the key that opens the door to all the parables.

1) If you want a war to break out, line up with Gods Word....
It's war, if your doing what God wants you to do....
We fight against powers that are beyond the flesh...
Put on "the whole armor of God."...

2) God warns us, to not to be slothful.....

1) There's only one choice with faith, ( a continually surrendered life), you will either hang on God and His word no matter what, or you will orient your being in some other direction.....

2) The book of Hebrews says that, faith ( a continually surrendered life) in God and His word, until you release it, the happening will not occur.....

3) The " Heroes of faith" , are nothing but ordinary men, willing to make a choice, to continually surrender themselves to God and His word......

1) The only revelation of Gods substance, is Jesus....
And the book of Hebrews says Jesus was the creating agency....
He was the Word that brought forth Gods concept and Gods spoken declaration into being....
He formed the worlds, and in the early chapters of Hebrews, it says, from nothing came everything, by the Word of God.....

2)That which saves a person is not their performance, but their response of a continually surrendered life to God and His Word....

1)You will never find the "unknown " will of God for your life, until you are acting on the known.....

2) God has the right to anything He wishes to claim....

3) God is not someone who can be added to our life, He consumes our life.....

The word is "principle".

By the way, given that your comments don't necessarily connect with each other, numbering them is unnecessary. Further, quoting yourself continually is silly. There is absolutely no need for it.

1) the only way faith ( the continually surrendered life) is brought forth, is through the trials....

2) 1 Peter 1:6-7, Peter said, you're going to have persecution, but the trial of your faith (your continually surrendered life) will bring forth that which is more precious than gold....

3) If you lift God up, He'll lift you up....

1) In Hebrews 11, God says Himself, there are a people which the world was not worthy.
Yet looking at most of their lives, they probably wouldn't even be considered for a church membership application.....

2) There should be alot more chapters written about all the things that Joseph did....
But God only chooses one act of faith (his continually surrendered life) in Gods word , to put him into Hebrews 11....

3) faith and faithing, pistis and pisteuo, (the continually surrendered life) is counted as "Righteousness".....

1) we know Gods will by knowing Him and His Word.....

2) If you're in doubt about your next step being in Gods will according to His Word, DON'T MOVE !!!!!

3) The best way to read Gods book, is to accept exactly what it says.....

1) Trouble comes, when we put our will in place of Gods will....

2) Gods book is like a window into Gods nature. Likewise, Gods Word becomes a point of contact between us and Him....

3) Unspiritual minds only look at effects, and never come to know His ways.....

1} The "experience" can happen without the ministry. But the ministry cannot happen without the word....

2} God has to be careful what He says. When He speaks, He speaks things into existence....

3} It's going to get worse, the more mature the saint gets in Gods word.....

4} The toughest test for Jesus, was at the end of His ministry. Everything before that got Him ready for it.
It will be the same for the saints. The hardest part of our salvation journey will be at the end.

1) We glory in tribulation, tribulation brings endurance..... ( easier said than done)

2) Miracles don't mean anything if they don't line up with Gods Word....

3) Every promise to Israel, in the spiritual meaning, the church can claim today....

1) God let Moses stand on the "mount of transfiguration", even with all his shortcomings.

2) There is a clay, "Us", being shaped on the wheel by the potter, "God"....

3) God is the boss, and He has the right to do whatever He wants with the clay....

4) Does the clay have the right to say to the potter, "Hey, what are you doing?"
No, the clay has no rights....

1) In the potters house we come face to face with the truth.

2) Gods not going to change one iota because of the belly aching the clay is doing. And, what God is doing to it.
God is the boss.....

3) we are hurled into space with the freedom to make a choice. Do we approve what God wants, or do we want God to approve what we want?
