Joshua's Legacy Of Prayer

Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
"O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies.(Joshua 10:12-13)
Joshua's audacios prayer, asking God to stop the sun and moon in their tracks so that he could win the battle, remind us of the startling words Jesus spoke to his disciples about the power of faith:"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain,'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what ha says will happen, it will be done for him" (Mark 11-23). Because Joshua believed every word God spoke and because he acted on that faith, he became Israel's deliverer, leading God's people into all the good land the Lord has promised.
We ask the Father to give us a faith like Joshua's, so that We can fight the good fight of faith no matter what obstacles We may face.To use us to encourage others in their own battles as well. To help us to be strong and very courageous, remembering the God's promise that He will never leave us or forsake us.

JOSHUA'S LEGACY OF PROMISE

Joshua was one of only two men of military age the other one was Caleb who left Egypt as a slave and entered the Promise Land as a warrior. The rest died in the desert wilderness because of their sin and their unwillingness to believe God was capable of keeping his word. In contrast to fearful reports from the other spies who told of seeing giants and fortified cities of their initial foray into Canaan, Joshua rendered this report to Moses:"The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the Lord is pleased with us, He will lead us to that land, a land of flowing milk and honey, and will give it to us"(Numbers 14:7-8). Joshua knew the challenges ahead, but instead of dwelling on them, he focused on the Lord's faithfulness and His power. As Moses' sucessor,he heard God saying directly to him,"No one will be able to stand up agaist you all the day's of your life."And no one did. his name, meaning "Yahweh is salvation,"conveyed God's faithfulness to the Israelites as they battled to take hold of the Promise land.

Job The Smarts Man of the Bible

1.) S-piritually matured:
"There was a man in the land of Uz, Whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil"(Job 1:1). We should be like Job a blameless and upright man after his sufferings he said "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord"(Job 1:21).

"Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you will answer Me"(Job 40:7). "Then Job answered the Lord and said; I know that you can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You"(job 42:1-2).

4.) R-esponsible and liable:
"You asked, Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?'Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me,Which i did not know"(Job 42:3).

5.) T-eachable:
Job admits his ignorance and becomes silent(Job 40:3-5).Job confesses his presumption and repents(Job 42:2-6).

6.) S-teadfast heart:
Job was loyal , firmly fixed, faithful, persistent, trustworthy, devoted, tireless, unfaltering, commited to our Almigthy God.

RESTORATION

"The God of all grace, Who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast"1Peter 5:10).
1. God called us to blessing.
"The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it."(Provebs 10:22)
2. God restore us from sufferings.
"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, You will restore my life again;From the depths of the earth you will again bring me up".(Psalms 71:20)
3. God will restore our weakened flesh and heart.
"My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever".(Psalm 73:26)
4. God will make our heart steadfast.
"My heart is steadfast, O God, My heart is steadfast. I will sing and give praise."(Psalm 57:7)

Promise for Finances

God's desire for us is to give good gifts. He is the supplier of our needs and He knows what we need for He is our provider. God will open the windows of heaven and pour out His blessings for us. He made provision for our life, and He desire to see us become a blessing to others, also.
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"(Matthew 6:25-26).
"And my God shall supply all your needs,according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"(Philippians 4:19)

Promise of Assurance

"Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the rightious to be moved"(Psalm 55:22). The context of the plasm shows that there is no unqualified promise that the rightious will always be happy and prosperous. The psalmist sings this lament to the Lord because he is in despair. The verse must mean that God will not leave the rightious in the fallen position forever, but will vindicate them in the end. " I am the Lord, your God, Who takes hold your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you"(Isaiah 41:13).

Promise of Healing

Thanks be to God the Creator of heavens and the earth . I started with praise to our God because He restored my strength and He heals me. After I posted the promise of prosperity I suffered a body pains and my stomach feels uneasy. I prayed to God "Lord,restore my strength and heal me from this sickness". After 36 hours God restored back my strength and removed my body pains then I remember the testimony of our brother in Christ named George Carbonell a God fearing man and a baker by profession his testimony was,he was about to finish his work in the oven area when he drank a cold water to refresh himself but suddenly he was struck by unknown sickness and his strength was weaken so fast and could not move his sweating was so cold and her wife started to cry for a thought that he was going to die and everybody in the neighbor came to see him and suggested ,take him to the doctor,the others saying take him to albularyo(a quack doctor). But brother George is simply saying "call my brother pastor to pray for me." Then his brother Pastor came and prayed for him after he prayed brother George received the healing from the Lord. And everybody was amazed they could not believe what they saw they are just like watching a drama in a television. But God is a God of Healing."I will restore you to health. And I will heal you of your wounds." declares the Lord(Jeremiah.30:17). "I am the Lord who heals you"(Exodus 15:26). God desire for us is to live in health all the days of our life. Praise the Lord God our Healer.
