Take The Surprise Out Your Voice | Sean Patterson

“Take the surprise out your voice, Shaq.” - Candace Parker

There’s opposition on the other side of the river. There is a price associated with this promise. 

Joshua 5:13-15 (NASB)
“Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, he raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him,
“Are you for us or for our enemies?”
He said, “No; rather I have come now as captain of the army of the Lord.”
And Joshua fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down, and said to him, 
“What has my lord to say to his servant?”
And the captain of the Lord’s army said to Joshua,
“Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.”
And Joshua did so.” 

Are you with us or against us? By saying “neither,” he was saying, “There is a God and you’re not him.”

We get so preoccupied with the Jericho’s in our lives that we tend to approach our battles and causes backwards. 
We take on the role of commander and we ask God to be our lieutenant.

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” - Moses (Exodus 14:14)

Worship will either make you or break you. It will either set you free or send you back to Egypt. 

God’s personal presence and powerful provision is key to living in the promise. We must walk by faith and make every ground holy.

Jesus went under the sword of God’s judgement for us.
