Defeating the Enemy
Joshua 10:8
“The Lord said to Joshua, ‘Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”
Joshua 10:24-25
“Joshua summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders . . . “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings . . . do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous.”
The same men of Hebron and surrounding Amorite cities that had terrified the 12 spies Moses sent into the land, were now lying prostrate before Joshua and his army. This including the giant Anakites who lived around Hebron (Joshua 11:21-22), all of them were killed.
Why were these kings and giants confronted in boldness and faith now, when they had previously inspired fear?
What giants in our lives (fear, lust, anger or greed) still rule over us?
What will it take for us to confront them in the authority and power of God?
What necks of the enemy is God calling us to put our feet on?
What are we waiting for?
Lord Jesus, expose any strongholds of sin and the enemy in my life. Fill me with courage and the knowledge of my authority in Christ to repent for sin and resist the enemy. I desire that sin strongholds be destroyed, not just resisted. Thank you for the victory in Christ.
