[8:42] according to commandment of the Lord

[8:44] shall you do see I have commanded you

[8:47] Joshua therefore said therefore they

[8:49] went to Lyon ambushed in a boat between

[8:51] Bethel and Anna on the west side of Anna

[8:54] but Jocelyn loves that night among the

[8:56] people and Joshua rose up early in the

[8:59] morning and numbered the people and went

[9:01] up he and the elders of Israel before

[9:03] the people - AI and all the people even

[9:06] the people of war that were with him

[9:08] went up and through nine

[9:09] he came before the city and pitch from

[9:12] the north side of AI now there was a

[9:14] valley between them and AI he took about

[9:17] five thousand men and set them to lie in

[9:19] ambush between Bethlehem on the west

[9:22] side of the city and when they had sent

[9:24] two people even all the host that was on

[9:26] the north of the city that their leaders

[9:29] didn't wake of the rest the west of the

[9:31] city Joshua went that night into the

[9:33] midst of the valley kingdom past then

[9:36] the king of ass saw it that he hastened

[9:38] to rose up early the men of City went

[9:40] out against Israel to battle he did all

[9:43] his people at a time appointed before

[9:45] the plane but he wished not that there

[9:47] were Liars in ambush against him behind

[9:50] the city and Joshua and all the people

[9:52] who madness it for they were beaten

[9:53] before then and fled by the way in the

[9:55] wilderness and all the people that were

[9:58] in nai fall together to pursue after

[10:00] that they pursued after Josh were drawn

[10:03] away from the city there was not been

[10:05] left in a iron metal that went on out

[10:08] after Israel and they left the city open

[10:11] and pursued

[10:12] there is ago the Lord senator joseline

[10:15] stretched out the sphere that is in

[10:16] ninety head toward a high right we'll

[10:18] give it a night ahead

[10:19] Joshua stretched out the sphere that he

[10:21] had in his hand toward the city the

[10:24] ambusher rose swiftly out of their place

[10:25] and they ran as soon as he had stretched

[10:27] on his hand they headed into the city

[10:29] and they took it and paste it and set

[10:31] the city on fire with a minimal book

[10:34] behind something song befall the smoke

[10:36] of the city has stood up into heaven

[10:38] they had no power to feed this way or

[10:41] that way and the people fled to the

[10:43] wilderness turned back upon the pursuers

[10:45] when Joshua and all this really saw the

[10:47] ambush that had taken the city the smoke

[10:50] of the city ascended that they turned

[10:52] again and slew the bit of AI and the

[10:54] other history out of the city against

[10:56] them there in the midst of Israel so on

[10:59] this side and so on that time they spoke

[11:02] them so that they met none of them

[11:03] remained or escaped the king of a guy

[11:06] they took the live and brought in the

[11:08] chops wood came to pass the news room at

[11:10] the end of slaying all the inhabitants

[11:11] of AI in the field and the wilderness

[11:13] wherein they chased them and when they

[11:15] were alone at the ends of the sword

[11:17] until they were consumed that all that

[11:19] usually less returned in any I had smote

[11:21] it with the edge of the sword and so it

[11:24] was that all found that day both of men

[11:26] and women were twelve thousand even all

[11:28] the way that they hunt for Joshua drew

[11:30] not his hand back wherewith he stretched

[11:32] out the spear

[11:33] till he had utterly destroyed all the

[11:35] inhabitants of AI only the catalyst for

[11:37] low City Israel to refrain themselves

[11:40] according under the word of the Lord

[11:42] which he commanded Joshua and Joshua

[11:45] burnt AI and made it a heap forever even

[11:48] in this place

[11:49] this day and the king of AI you hang on

[11:52] a tree until even time as soon as the

[11:54] Sun Goes Down toss them commanded that

[11:56] they should take his carcass down for

[11:59] the tree and catch that the entering of

[12:00] the gate of the city race there are

[12:02] great people struggles like a magnet to

[12:04] this day then atop snow builds an altar

[12:07] under the Lord God of Israel them evil

[12:10] moses the servant of lord commanded the

[12:13] children as it was written in the book

[12:15] of the law of moses an altar of all

[12:17] stones of which no man had looked up any

[12:20] higher they offered their not burnt

[12:22] offerings over the lord and sacrifice

[12:23] peace offerings and he wrote there upon

[12:26] the stones a copy of the law of moses

[12:28] which he wrote in the presence of the

[12:30] children of israel and all these

[12:32] rebuilding their elders and officers and

[12:34] their judges stood on this side in the

[12:37] ark and on that side before the priests

[12:41] the Levites which bear the ark the

[12:42] covenant of the lord as well as the

[12:44] stranger as he had her he that was born

[12:47] among the half of them over against

[12:49] Mount Gerizim after the motor gets about

[12:51] equal as moses the servant of the lord

[12:53] had commanded before the nation of bless

[12:56] the people of israel

[12:57] afterward he met all the words of the

[12:59] law the blessings and the cursings

[13:02] according to all that is written in the

[13:04] book of the law there was not a word of

[13:06] law that Moses commanded which Jasper

[13:09] had not before all the congregation of

[13:11] Israel with the women the little ones

[13:13] the strangers that were two verses above

[13:17] in Deuteronomy chapter number 27 we'll

[13:22] go there in just a little while

[13:23] the Deuteronomy 27 you'll find that God

[13:27] outlined in Deuteronomy what took place

[13:31] really he laid it out before him you see

[13:36] what has happened in Joshua chapter

[13:38] seven is revealed to us in Joshua

[13:41] chapter eight is something that's very

[13:43] important as we've been talking about

[13:45] the struggles that people have about

[13:48] choosing our own way over God's Way and

[13:52] when you find yourself facing defeat

[13:56] when you find yourself being overcome

[13:59] you must make a decision

[14:02] to have the courage to start again let's

[14:08] go the warning prayer this morning this

[14:10] evening their Heavenly Father lord I

[14:11] thank you for the opportunity to preach

[14:13] your word when I pray tonight this one

[14:15] wouldn't beliefs cleanse me of sin empty

[14:17] me yourself that I may get out of the

[14:19] way tonight and your word may go through

[14:21] what I've read to speak to our hearts

[14:23] challenges from your word this and

[14:26] everything that's said and done in this

[14:27] service will truly bring honor and glory

[14:30] to you in your name I pray amen

[14:34] the exhaust woods after seven we have

[14:37] the account of a leader who forsook the

[14:40] Lord he didn't consult with God he did

[14:43] not make plans to follow up and see what

[14:47] God's plan was Joshua went in he used

[14:50] his wisdom suits of spies into the land

[14:52] they came back in reports that darkness

[14:55] in all the edges in this number of men

[14:58] so they went but because there was sin

[15:02] in the care the nation of Israel lost

[15:06] was punished and then ancient has found

[15:09] out because of sin so now we're at a

[15:12] point there's been a failure we're at a

[15:15] point where there's been some heartache

[15:17] there's been some disappointment there's

[15:20] been some doubt because Joshua himself

[15:23] thought that the Lord had per second and

[15:25] they brought over the Torah

[15:26] let them die in the land just we've been

[15:30] asked the question before but you do

[15:32] have your name honor to glorify in

[15:37] chapter 8 it reveals to us how to have

[15:41] the courage to start again look at verse

[15:44] number 1 and the Lord said unto Joshua

[15:48] fear not neither be thou dismayed in our

[15:53] Christian life when we fail when we

[15:57] falter when we give in to sinful

[16:02] temptations we are so tempted to stay

[16:05] dad we're tempted to say oh I am such a

[16:09] failure as a Christian I tried to do

[16:13] right then I fail I try to do right and

[16:16] then I failed and we get defeated

[16:19] sometimes or maybe it's not as senseless

[16:22] but just things that happen in your life

[16:24] that you faced the spirit of defeat and

[16:27] you're defeated tonight can I give you

[16:31] some truths from the Word of God on how

[16:34] they have the courage to get back up as

[16:40] we mentioned in Sunday school this

[16:41] morning fear and anxiety do not come

[16:45] from the Lord that is not God's plan for

[16:49] the Christian Christians will have to

[16:51] battle fear will have to battle anxiety

[16:55] but it does not come for the Lord first

[16:57] hibbott our second Timothy 1:7 tells us

[16:59] for God not given us the spirit of fear

[17:01] but of power and of love and the Book of

[17:07] Psalms it tells us for the Lord is our

[17:09] helper I shall not fear

[17:11] to me the Lord is on my side that's not

[17:16] fear but here we are the Lord said unto

[17:21] us what fear not

[17:22] evidently leader Joshua is back to being

[17:29] concerned for you remember chapter one

[17:33] be strong and very courageous and then

[17:39] again he said be strong yet very

[17:41] courageous and a third time be strong

[17:44] and very courageous and then the leaders

[17:46] of the basement said to joseline

[17:48] joseline only be now strong and very

[17:51] courageous seeing Joshua a man of

[17:56] military experience a man that is battle

[18:00] tested can lose a battle and be

[18:04] developing fear every one of us in the

[18:08] room could lose a spiritual battle in

[18:11] our life and fearful for Davis fear

[18:16] could overwhelm us so he tells us to

[18:20] fear not neither be thou dismayed and

[18:23] then the Lord gives instructions and

[18:29] this time in chapter 8 the response is

[18:34] different from chapter 7 and chapter 7

[18:38] and you heard the instructions just like

[18:40] everybody else

[18:41] remember we talked about it last week he

[18:44] heard the instructions just like

[18:46] everybody else

[18:47] he marched like every other soldier he

[18:50] shouted for the

[18:51] like every other soldier he went in run

[18:54] into the city like every other soldier

[18:56] he fought the enemy like every other

[18:58] soldier but a hidden me one exception

[19:02] ache instead I see that I remember the

[19:12] prospects he solved the battle in his

[19:14] dorm and he recognized the not either of

[19:16] me thought about it

[19:17] then he took it but they remember the TV

[19:20] part of that text was he was convicted

[19:22] over it because he went to when you've

[19:26] got secret sins in your life one chapter

[19:34] a different chapter 8 the Lord gives

[19:38] instructions joseline music jumps go

[19:41] fastest along the instructions to the

[19:42] people and everybody 100% obeys God how

[19:48] do you have the courage to get up a hint

[19:50] and do what God wants to do number one

[19:52] you don't let fear control and number

[19:56] two you say yes to God okay listen you

[20:00] say yes to God whatever God gives his

[20:03] instructions for you you say yep floor

[20:05] and you do it we don't make excuses we

[20:10] don't try to justify our behavior when

[20:13] you say yes Lord is in chapter chapter 8

[20:18] of Joshua he gives

[20:20] clear instructions on how to look the

[20:22] battle plan was now we met very Chapter

[20:24] seven they jumped ahead of God in

[20:28] Chapter eight they're waiting on the

[20:30] Lord to give them instructions and in

[20:33] our Christian life we need to wait upon

[20:36] the Lord let me guide us and direct us

[20:42] in our so we thought these instructions

[20:47] he gives for us and we are to obey and

[20:49] when Joshua obeys it fulfills what has

[20:54] been said turn back to Deuteronomy

[20:56] chapter number 27 if you would

[20:59] Deuteronomy chapter number 27 tonight

[21:07] verse number 1 and Moses with the others

[21:11] of Israel commanded the people say keep

[21:14] all the commandments which I command you

[21:17] this day and it shall be on the day when

[21:21] he shall pass over the Jordan onto the

[21:24] land which the LORD thy God giveth thee

[21:26] thou shall set the up great stones and

[21:29] plaster there with plaster and that's

[21:32] how right words upon them all the works

[21:35] of the law without work tasks over that

[21:38] that way is go into the land which the

[21:42] land that floweth with milk and honey as

[21:44] the Lord God of my father's hath

[21:46] promised thee therefore it shall be when

[21:49] he be gone over George that he shall set

[21:52] up these stones which I commanded you

[21:54] this day and mouth people that's a

[21:56] classic

[21:57] laughter and they're stuffed up building

[22:00] also them at the Lord that I got an

[22:02] altar of stones thou shall lift up any

[22:05] higher tool upon them

[22:06] thou shall build the altar of the Lord

[22:08] thy God of whole stones does to offer

[22:10] burnt offerings there are two of the

[22:12] LORD thy God thou shalt offer peace

[22:14] offerings Chinese there and rejoice

[22:16] because of the rock upon the stones all

[22:20] the words of this law very plainly in

[22:25] other words not lays out for us the

[22:28] instructions and they became the

[22:31] fulfillment in Joshua chapter number 8

[22:34] God laid out this is what I want you to

[22:37] do and in chapter 8 they did what God

[22:42] wanted them to do and fulfill what God

[22:46] and ask for them and Deuteronomy chapter

[22:48] number 27 so you and I in our Christian

[22:52] life need to be in a place that we have

[22:55] a desire to fulfill what God is saying

[23:01] in his word I'll say it once again you

[23:07] and I must have a desire to fulfill what

[23:12] God is saying in his work without that

[23:17] desire to go find your Christian life a

[23:19] life of ups and downs ups and downs

[23:24] you'll find yourself failing a lot of

[23:28] your Christian life unless you develop a

[23:32] desire to fulfill what God has said in

[23:36] his word so question number one tonight

[23:42] how do you know what the word says and

[23:44] the answer in church you got to read it

[23:49] if you don't know what it says you

[23:53] cannot do what it says so therefore

[23:56] insufficient

[23:58] must read the Word of God so just when

[24:01] he put all the commandments on this

[24:04] stone pillar and if he taught it to all

[24:07] the people he read them to all the

[24:10] people in other words I said see this

[24:12] this is what God said now go do it so

[24:18] tonight this is what God has said go do

[24:22] it and so it's the job of any preacher

[24:25] of the gospel to share with you what the

[24:28] Bible says and so we want to do that for

[24:32] the best we're going to show you what

[24:34] the Bible says because you're not happy

[24:37] to have a desire to obey what God says

[24:41] so nobody had a nobody says number two

[24:45] you need to be in a place that talks

[24:47] about the Word of God he'd be around

[24:50] people that encouraged you in the things

[24:53] of God it's vitally important than the

[24:57] Christian life if you're spending time

[25:00] with people that are not helping you

[25:03] with your relationship with God watch

[25:05] this

[25:06] they are hickory your relationship to

[25:08] God God does not want you to be stagnant

[25:11] in your Christian growth he wants you to

[25:14] move forward with God

[25:16] in order to be as strong churches are

[25:18] demons this year it is individual desire

[25:22] to do what God says it's an individual

[25:28] desire to do what God says he can outlie

[25:34] said in his word it is our decision to

[25:37] follow got someone whoof said it's God's

[25:42] Word I believe it that settles it well

[25:49] that's not a true state it's God's Word

[25:52] that settles it

[25:54] whether you believe

[25:55] know whether you believe that's true or

[25:59] not whether you believe that's for your

[26:00] life or not

[26:01] if God's standard is worth that it's a

[26:03] responsibility of every Christian to

[26:06] obey 100% the Word of God

[26:11] so which sons that they are tonight will

[26:15] people on Joshua made eye contact first

[26:21] Joshua what is the definition of

[26:26] obedience very good it's doing exactly

[26:34] what they're told when you're told to do

[26:37] it with the right Clark

[26:39] attitude and in the Word of God what God

[26:44] clearly defines for us in his word were

[26:46] to do exactly what we're told when we're

[26:51] told to do it with the right heart

[26:55] attitude now in my house

[26:57] we have boys that had the responsibility

[26:59] to take out the trash so I will tell

[27:03] them boys you take the trash out yes sir

[27:07] and sometimes I find the trash at the

[27:09] front door it didn't make it all the way

[27:14] outside to the trash dad I didn't have

[27:20] my shoes off whose problem is that

[27:27] it's their personal problem because they

[27:30] have shoes they know how to put good

[27:33] wine

[27:33] come on understanding tonight got got

[27:37] outlines for us it is weird what we are

[27:39] doing exactly what we're told

[27:41] now sometimes they'll take the trash out

[27:43] there go out the door and sometimes as

[27:47] off their off their way out there's some

[27:51] noises that come from their mouths

[28:05] anything because they're rumbling

[28:11] watches they're not away they don't have

[28:14] the right heart attitude listening and

[28:19] when we watch this we're not fully old

[28:38] sometimes they go out they take the

[28:43] trash they don't mobile they don't

[28:45] complain they go out they take the trash

[28:48] they go out the door sometimes has been

[28:51] their mamas send them out and I just

[28:53] have to be pulling in the driveway and I

[28:55] see one of these take the trash can

[28:57] later to see they're not fully there

[29:05] yes the trash got out yes the trash got

[29:08] put in the trash but they're not fully

[29:10] obey thankfully though they have learned

[29:13] that those are not basing obedience

[29:16] tract boys those are not ways of

[29:18] obedience but doing exactly what you're

[29:21] told when you're told

[29:22] attitude we use it to take the trash I

[29:25] respond yes sir or yes man and I take it

[29:27] out we'll put it in the trash bin then I

[29:29] come back and replace the trash back in

[29:33] trash can

[29:34] they're still working on that one their

[29:37] mom's helping they've learned that

[29:38] lesson it's fun being a preacher's kid

[29:42] is going to be use of illustrations but

[29:46] they don't always do that they've got

[29:48] much better they've learned through life

[29:51] experience that it's better to obey than

[29:56] initiative drama that is to have back to

[29:59] you than it is to only do it partly the

[30:03] sad thing is there's a lot of God's

[30:05] children that have not learned that then

[31:01] our Christian life we didn't know about

[31:04] sex we need to fully obey and do it well

[31:11] when we fail

[31:16] don't stay down God would give you the

[31:19] courage to get back up and took hold a

[31:22] hit once

[31:26] but only if you and i submit ourselves

[31:29] to fully in Joshua chapter 8 the victory

[31:37] is won the defeat AI they get to keep

[31:41] all the spoils they get rewarded for a

[31:43] way in the directions that God has

[31:46] placed for them they get you in destroy

[31:49] the lesson that Joshua teaches them

[31:52] about the altar and the stars with the

[31:55] platicas in the commandments of the law

[31:57] they can be put part of fulfillment of

[32:00] God's Word they need to see all of it

[32:03] because they fully obey God even though

[32:16] you don't sit down

[32:32] don't stand if you let God have victory

[32:36] in your life Mike wins we choose fully

[32:46] what would have happened in Joshua

[32:48] chapter 8 if some of the soldiers who

[32:51] had heard the instructions before

[32:53] decided to take into their own hands

[32:56] to make their own decisions you notice

[33:00] they put their trust back in Joshua

[33:04] they trusted him they followed him they

[33:09] believed him the only difference in

[33:12] Joshua 7 and Joshua chapter number 8 he

[33:18] would have turned it back to Joshua

[33:19] chapter like your visitor on me turn

[33:21] back to Joshua chapter number 8 the

[33:28] major difference between chapter 7 and

[33:30] chapter 8 his battle plan is a chapter

[33:34] of the Lord's Day the chapter 7 it was

[33:38] Jocelyn your announced plans for our

[33:43] lives will bring about the Sheep hardik

[33:46] and problems but listen to the whistle

[33:51] it speaks to us and guides us and he

[33:55] directs us in our life exactly what he

[33:58] wants us to be then it's our

[34:00] responsibility to follow the directions

[34:04] read a quote one time who says you

[34:07] cannot expect behavior from your

[34:08] children that you have not God wants us

[34:15] to follow these instructions and as a

[34:20] pastor and a teacher the Word of God

[34:22] it's my responsibility to teach you the

[34:26] instructions so sometimes you may want

[34:31] to rumble after the lesson you may would

[34:34] have grown the lack of sir my wife talk

[34:36] to the preacher total all our problems

[34:41] you may not like the mess

[34:45] but the Word of God is true and we need

[34:49] to fully so tonight how you doing

[34:58] fully obey God's his either you're

[35:04] obeying it for your discipline there's

[35:10] not a middle ground Sambhav a part they

[35:13] don't obey the old council tonight every

[35:19] head bowed they relax those are

[35:21] weaponers who is struggling
