Burn the chariots

To achieve complete victory over our enemy we need to burn it to ashes. Partial victory will never free us from the power of sin. The Lord commanded Joshua to burn all the expensive chariots of the enemy. God knew the danger was that the Israelites would put their confidence in horses or chariots instead of Him. The psalmist declares, (20:7) “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”

“In Pilgrim Progress John Bunyan describes Christian’s approach to the Palace Beautiful where he hoped to get lodging. He began to walk down a very narrow passage leading to the porter’s lodge. Then he saw two lions in the way. Bunyan adds parenthetically; ‘The Lions were chained but he saw not the chains.” That is frequently the case – we fear because we don’t see the chains.”

“The truth is that Christ sits at the right hand of the Father far above all the rule and authority and dominion and according to Ephesians 1:20-22 he has every thing under his feet. That means that ever power that would harm us or seek to destroy us is chained. But sometimes we don’t see the chains.” [Dale Ralph Davis]

This Sabbath morning, March 26, I invite you to come to Lakeview church to study with me Joshua ch 11. God gives us assurance that if we show living faith He will give us complete victory over our enemies.

Please, remember to check the Prayers needed and the Announcements page.

See you this Sabbath.
