EPHESIANS 6:10-11
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of
His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you
will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the
devil.

The devil will always accuse you.

God will convict us but will never condemn us.

OUR ARMOR IS CHRIST HIMSELF

ROMANS 8:31-32
What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who is against us?
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him
over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely
give us all things?

Romans 8:38-39
Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Example:
Joshua-ordinary whom God has chosen and became victo-
rious

things

Take the step of faith

Baby steps

Joshua 1:1
-you cannot cross until you settle the problem inside
of you

James 1:6-7
Anyone who doubts should not expect to receive
anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded
and unstable in all they do.

What if I want Him to live when I come back, what
is that to you? You follow me.

to what lies ahead...

JOSHUA 1:3

If there is a Problem
-before you go forward, you seek God's promise

JOSHUA 23:14
...not one word of all the good words which the Lord
your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have
been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed.
