Week 4 (Sunday)
Praying For God’s Power

Joshua 1:2-3 “…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…”

The book of Joshua is the story of God’s chosen people being led to take ground from their enemies in the Promised Land. This story has many applications for our New Testament church.
·         Jesus Christ is our Joshua. “Jesus” is actually the common Greek form of the Hebrew name “Joshua.”
·         The Church is Christ’s army. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.”
·         We Have an Enemy. Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
·         This Enemy Has Territory. 2 Timothy 2:25-26 “Correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
·         We Are To Invade This Enemy’s Territory. Matt. 28:18-19 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. God ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…”

This week we pray for boldness, clarity, and fruitfulness in our Gospel outreach to the city of Grand Prairie.

“The combination of powerful truth wrapped in self-sacrificing love is what God uses to transform people.”
