“Step into that river in faith that the Lord will part its waters for you, so you can possess that land called Promise.”

Joshua 1:9“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Books by Dudley Anderson

I could imagine Joshua standing on the east bank of the Jordan River, gazing across its flooding waters at the land called Promise. Perhaps Caleb stood beside him. “What was it that Moses said, Caleb… ‘you shall go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their fathers, and you shall put them in possession of it’? But why me?”

“Because you are young and you are a man of faith,” replied Caleb. “Remember, forty years ago, when we came back from spying out the land with the other 10 spies? They were all quaking in their boots, but you and I believed we could take this land. We had faith then. Have faith now, my friend. I am too old to lead these people. God has chosen you. So, ‘Be strong and courageous. The Lord goes before you. He will not leave you or forsake you.’ These were God’s words through Moses. Hold on to them in faith, and step across this river. Unless you take that step, all Israel will remain in the wilderness.”

Dear GodTracker, you may be waiting for God to bring something new your way.  Often, he does graciously drop opportunities into our laps, but most times, like with Joshua, he tells us to step out in faith and trust him to come through for us. There could be a prospect of new land facing you right now and you’re wondering what to do about it. Well, what has the Lord said to you about this new opportunity? Do you believe it’s from him? If so, then go get it! Faith pleases God and he rewards those who live by faith. God does not respond to our wishes or dreams; he responds to active faith. Step into that river in faith that the Lord will part its waters for you, so you can possess that land called Promise.

So Joshua instructed the officers of the people, “Pass through the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’”

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Make provision for all I’ll need to possess this opportunity and make the most of it

“Dear Lord, I believe I am faced with a great opportunity. I believe you have presented me with this prospect therefore, I believe you will make a way across this river for me to possess your promises. Help me to step out in faith. Give me wisdom and instruction that I may know what your will is for me. Prepare me for the unknown (Lord with you, all things are known). Make provision for all I’ll need to possess this opportunity and make the most of it. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS WADING IN THE RIVER OF GOD

Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Karen and I had the pleasure of visiting Israel not too long ago. We had an amazing time, viewing all the famous biblical sites. However, I was also impacted by the sheer natural beauty of the region. On one occasion, we were near the source of the Jordan River in the north of the country. In the hot arid climate of the Middle East, this river is the very lifeline for two countries. We stood near an opening in the ground where beautiful clear cool water gushed out to start its 251km journey to the Dead Sea.

Standing there reminded me of another biblical river, one without a name. God had just given the prophet Ezekiel a very detailed vision of his temple. Then, in his vision, God brought Ezekiel around to the front entrance of the temple where he saw water issuing out from below the threshold. It began shallow and flowed eastward. The angel of the Lord led Ezekiel into the river. As he stepped into the water, it took him to his ankle. The angle took him further in until the water was knee deep, waist deep and on until Ezekiel could no longer touch the bottom. He says, “It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.” The river continued to flow eastward until it reached the Dead Sea. But, unlike the Jordan River, where the River of God entered the sterile waters of the sea of salt, it transformed the dead waters into living waters. The Dead Sea came to life. The prophet then noticed that along the banks of the river grew fruit bearing trees: “Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

Ezekiel’s river had its source in the sanctuary of the temple; it began its journey from the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies contained symbols of God’s Word and Spirit and represented the merciful presence of God, that is, the atoning work of Christ. Wherever the river flowed it gave life. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” He was talking about the coming of the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel’s river represents the life-giving flow of God’s Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit flows from the foot of the cross, bringing life wherever he goes. The source of the River of the Spirit is the cross of Jesus. Notice that Ezekiel did not remain at the source of his river but waded out into the glory of God, until he could no longer stand on his own two feet. God wants you to go-with-the-flow of his Spirit; he wants you to be filled with and overwhelmed – baptised – in the Holy Spirit. He is your source and your resource. He is your energy, your strength and your life. The word for you today is, step out into the River of God and allow it to knock you off your feet! God wants you to drink deeply of his presence so that out of your heart will flow rivers of living water.

Be filled with the Holy Spirit

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

O Lord, may your living water flow into every nook of my being

Pray
“Dear Father, thank you that Jesus died to redeem me from my sin. I acknowledge that he is Lord of my life. Thank you that you have poured out your Holy Spirit on all flesh. Today I want to wade out in the flow of the River of God; I want to lose my balance so that I no longer stand on my own two feet but am taken along by the mighty flow of your Holy Spirit in every area of my life. I open my heart to you and I open my mouth to you. Baptise me in the Holy Spirit. Fill me up, O Lord, may your living water flow into every nook of my being. May your living water flow from out of my heart, bringing food for the hungry and healing for the sick. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.”
