Beloved, “God”s Will Be Done”

I have to believe God who has my best interests at heart knows all things. So HIS will would be the best to follow. If this is true, and it is, then I must pray for HIS will to be done. For me to have and experience godly outcomes, then my prayer patterns and prayer life must match HIS will. Father, help me know your will so I can pray and live out Your will on earth as it is in Heaven in JESUS name, Amen

Matthew 6:9–10
9 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

Beloved, what is stopping you from claiming the rest of all God promised or prepared for you? Is it fear, disobedience, a low self-esteem, or ignorance of God’s promises i.e. you dont know what God has promised HIS children? Get to know your Father, draw close to HIM, so you know and understand HIM, understand your mission in life, and fully understand all the legacy and inheritance planned for all HIS children.

Joshua 18:3 (Read verses 1-28 for Full Context)
3 Then Joshua asked them, “How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given to you? 

Beloved, when we become strong, do we take the opportunity to drive off and put out all the enemy and evil around us? May God help us put out all evil in our midst in JESUS name, Amen.

Joshua 17:12-13
12 But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land. 
13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they failed to drive them out completely.

1 Corinthians 5:13
13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”

Beloved, legacy and inheritance is very important to God as it should be to us. Are your saving, investing, and taking care of what God has given you so you can leave a good inheritance for you descendants? Or are you spending it all or giving it away? I pray for wisdom and grace to leave a good inheritance for our children and theirs

Joshua 16:4 (Read all Joshua 16:1-10 for full context)
4 So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance. 5This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans:

Proverbs 13:22
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

Beloved, have we paused lately to consider all God has given to us now and what is to come in the near or far future? Just being honest, my mind cannot grasp the fullness of all we have obtained as an inheritance from God throught Christ JESUS our Lord.

Read all of Joshua 15:1-63, see the vastness of the lands the people of God inherited on earth, then think and ask, how vast is heaven and all that is in store, already prepared, for us?

Please pause to think then thank God for the inheritance HE has for us in Christ.

Joshua 15:1
1 Now the allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah extended to the border of Edom, to the Wilderness of Zin at the extreme southern boundary:…

Ephesians 1:11
11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.

Colossians 3:24
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Ephesians 1:3
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Beloved, will God still be able to depend on you enough to do battle for HIM at your old age? If God calls you when you are old, will you go? For all who serve God and never quit, HE gives strength and grace to do battle in HIS name no matter how old they are.

Joshua 13:1 and 14:10 (Read Joshua 13 1-33 and 14:1-15 for Full Context)

Joshua 13:1
1 Now Joshua was old and well along in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and well along in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed. 2This is the land that remains:…

Joshua 14:10
10 Now behold, as the LORD promised, He has kept me alive these forty-five years since He spoke this word to Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old, 11still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. As my strength was then, so it is now for war, for going out, and for coming in.

Beloved, Our wives bring beauty, grace and balance to our lives ane men are better for it. Today’s inspiration is courtesy of my lovely wife and it comes with a beautiful song

Isaiah 40:27-31 Comfort for God’s People
27 O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?
28 Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Beloved,

God has conquered so many enemies for us and acquired so much inheritance for us. Take hold of your inheritance God has for you and plan to pass it on down to your children. Are you leaving a godly legacy for your children?

Land and inheritance is important to God and to us HIS children. Look at all the kings God helped Israel conquer and their lands taken and given to the children of Israel as an inheritance. Lord, help me remember to appreciate you for all you’ve conquered for me and be good stewards over all inheritance you’ve given me in JESUS name, Amen.

Joshua 12:6 (Read Verses 1-24 for Full Context)

17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.

Ephesians 1:11
11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.

Beloved, even in the times of war, if we listen to and obey God completely like Joshua, HE defeats our enemies for us no matter how many band together against us. Our obedience to God seals the victory over our enemies even to the point of giving us rest from wars.

Joshua 11: 6 and 23 (Read Verses 1-23 For Context)
6 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots.”
.23 So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.

2 Kings 6:13-17
13 So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.”
On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,” 
14 the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
16 “Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Romans 8:31
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
