VI. TITLE:

JESUS fights for us

VII. EXPLICATION:

A. Author: Joshua (uncertain)

B. Key Thought: How to be successful in the battle of life? (Joshua 1:8-9)

Joshua 1:8-9 (NLT)

8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.

9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

C. Leading Topic: Conquest and Division of the land of Canaan

VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. All the kings and their land are given to us one time

"Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time,"

Joshua represents CHRIST JESUS in our lives. Joshua's name in Hebrew means "Jehovah-saved".

Kings symbolizes our enemies in high position and influence.

Lands represents their territories. Even if we live in the territories of our enemies, the squatters, the LORD will take their land and give it to us.

Psalms 46:1 (King James Version)

46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalms 46:7 (Amplified Bible)

46:7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our Fortress and High Tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

One time means one stroke. The LORD doesn't need to hit twice, only once is needed from the LORD and it will spell destruction on all our enemies.

1 Samuel 17:47 (Amplified Bible)

17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.

Zechariah 4:6 (Amplified Bible)

4:6 Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts.

Remember what's physical in the old testament is spiritual with us. We are engaged in spiritual battle, the LORD owns the battle not us, we only stand still to see the salvation of GOD in our lives. The Aleph-Tav signature is placed after the word "see" in Exodus 14:13, meaning, the insight is we don't remove our focus (eyes) on the LORD JESUS who gave us the victories, we don't look at the circumstances or what we feel but on the LORD JESUS.

Ephesians 6:12 (Amplified Bible)

6:12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Exodus 14:13 (Amplified Bible)

14:13 Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (Amplified Bible)

5:7 For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.

B. JESUS CHRIST - the GOD of Israel fought for us

"because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel."

Romans 8:31-37 (Amplified Bible)

8:31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

8:32 He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?

8:33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]

8:34 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?

8:35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?

8:36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.

8:37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.

Isaiah 43:4 (Amplified Bible)

43:4 Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and because I love you, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.

Psalms 80:3 (Amplified Bible)

80:3 Restore us again, O God; and cause Your face to shine [in pleasure and approval on us], and we shall be saved!

We have CHRIST's approval and love for us that consumes Him to protect and save us. No human effort can make CHRIST love us, it's ALL Divine effort on His part that's why He's determined to save us. CHRIST protected us and blessed us.

Psalms 3:8 (King James Version)

3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Psa 3:8 (Contemporary English Version) because you protect and bless your people.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Our focus and eyes must not be removed from the LORD JESUS, if we remove it, we start to sink like Peter. We need to be consumed by the LORD's Presence in our lives by praying in tongues and not be consumed by victories.

There are many physical and spiritual victories the LORD will give us in this life, but we don't focus our eyes on victories but on the LORD JESUS Himself. For victories will consume you and make you proud. But the LORD will keep you humble and reaching out for more of JESUS.

Illustration:

Matthew 14:27-31 (Amplified Bible)

14:27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!

14:28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.

14:29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.

14:30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!

14:31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?

The LORD JESUS could have rebuked Peter like in this manner, "O you of little faith, the Author and Finisher of your faith is already ahead of you, you only need to look to Him and not on your victories (waves/waters)."

Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS, for my eyes, ears and complete focus is on You alone for You are the Author, and Perfecter of my faith that overcomes this world and You live within me that is greater who is in this world.
