Grace and Peace to you. Todays Fresh Manna. To Encourage, Edify & Equip You: 48 (8.3.14): The Cause of Setbacks-The Unseen Army ***************************** But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing:... Joshua 7:1. Joshua, Chapter 7, begins with an ominous, BUT. Lets refer back to the verse just before it and see why: So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country. Joshua 6:27. Chapter 7 then starts, BUT.... Something was about to change with Joshua. Up to this point, the people of God had been completely victorious. God had miraculously backed up the river and they had crossed Jordan. Joshua then learned the first lesson that he needed to learn, and it is still the first lesson which every Christian needs to learn, moreso now than ever before. Canaan is a type of full salvation. God promised the fleshly descendants of Abraham a land, in completeness from river to river, but they had to go in, and step by step, drive out those things which hindered them from possessing the land. Likewise, God has blessed us: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3. Yes, with spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. God has ordained that every one of us enjoy Christ in His completeness and fullness, but we face things in our lives and in our daily living which must be driven out by the grace of God and by the power of Gods Spirit. God wants us to enjoy a full, victorious life. Amen
