Walls are there for a reason. They are there to keep the people out that don’t really need to get in. If we are persistent, we earn the entrance

Michael Jordan, perhaps the greatest basketball player of all time, did not make his high school basketball team his sophomore year.

Reading this scripture in Joshua, we find that

It must have been an exciting time for the Israelites to finally enter their land of promise.

Can you think back and remember a day you waited for a long time with great anticipation and excitement? Most of us can. As a child, Christmas and birthdays were my favorite days. I would count the days till summer vacation was here so I wouldn’t have to go to school. I would count the days to my favorite rock concerts.

Depending on the nature of the day and what it might hold, such a time might also bring about a certain amount of anxiety because of the challenge you might face. For months, weeks, and days you waited, and then finally, the day arrived.

Can you imagine the anticipation and excitement the children of Israel faced as they stood before the River Jordan the evening before they were to cross over into the land?

They had been in the dessert and in the wilderness for forty years.

I have been alive for 39 years next week. It’s a long time.

It was time to move out of the desert – across the Jordan River – and into Canaan.

Joshua and Caleb, who were now about eighty years old, had waited even longer. According to the promise to the Patriarchs, Jewish anticipation went back some five hundred years. But now, Joshua tells the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you” (3:5).

Church, I believe that is the Word that the Lord has for you.

Consecrate means to “ Set apart”. WE need to set ourselves apart from this world so that we can grow closer to God and His will through our dreams in this life.

There had been discouragement and disappointments along the way – but it was now time!

Church , Some of you have had set backs and disappointments along your journey – BUT THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO ENTER INTO YOUR LAND OF PROMISE! We need to simply commit ourselves to GODS Plan for our life. WE need to commit ourselves to GOD’s dream for our life that He has placed within us

I believe God wants to reveal this to you tonight. I believe you can rededicate Youself to accepting Gods will in your life and letting Him work through you and your dreams AMEN?
