Joshua 5:13-15
Exodus 33:12-16 And Moses said
unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto
me, Bring up this people: and thou
hast not let me know whom thou wilt
send with me. Yet thou hast said, I
know thee by name, and thou hast
also found grace in my sight. Now
therefore, I pray thee, if I have
found grace in thy sight, shew me
now thy way, that I may know thee,
that I may find grace in thy sight:
and consider that this nation is thy
people. And [God] said, My
presence shall go with thee, and I
will give thee rest. And [Moses] said
unto him, If thy presence go not with
me, carry us not up hence. For
wherein shall it be known here that I
and thy people have found grace in
thy sight? is it not in that thou goest
with us?

To glorify God, by Jesus Christ, through his body the church, as we
preach the gospel to the world (Eph 3:10-11,21)
HOW TO GET READY FOR WAR
1. Before we move forward we
have to look back and praise,
because we want to make sure
the God who brought us stays
with us, 10-12
2. Before you can report for duty
you have to recognize who is
really in charge, 13-14
3. Before you can win in the next
chapter of your life, youve got to
worship in this chapter, 14
4. Before you can know what to do
you have to praise, because it is
in worship you get your
instructions, 15
5. Before you can be ready for war
you have to war on the floor and
work in the word, 15

around us to bring about changes
in us to get us ready for changes
__________ of us.
