Pastor Prince
Pray a prayer shield over Pastor Prince.
In Psalm 91, the last verse ends with Yeshua
We are searching out God’s wisdom when we read the bible
Caleb is as strong today as he was 45 years ago. His undecay and unfailing strength. He was increasing in strength.
1 Cor 10:11 DARRY
Now all these things happened to them types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
The secret to possessing your possession
Joshua 13:1
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.
City of the book
Joshua 15:16-19
And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Spring of water
Revelation 5:2
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Joshua 15:15
Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).
The spoken Word of God
There is no spoken word unless we spend time in the written word
Parents, share the Word of God in a very natural way. Stir up the interest and the love of God’s Word
We will not be satisfied until we possessed our possession
You honour God when you ask big
Joshua 15:19
She answered, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
I want spring of water. Spring of water flows out of you
Holy Spirit is anointing you to give you the Word
Spirit within leads me every single day!
There is yet very much land to be possessed
Ephesians 1:3
Redemption in Christ
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
They attack us where our blessings supposed to be in.
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
God will turn all the attacks into something good for us.
Thank God we are the armour of God and the enemy can’t touch us
This is the land. Possess it
Hosea 2:15
I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
In your trouble look for the door of hope
There is going to be renewal of youth.
The youthful vibrancy to sing
In the valley of trouble there is a door of hope
With the testing, God will make a way of escape
Joshua 13:1-3
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. This is the land that yet remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites, from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites;
In the old, the new is concealed
In the new, the old is revealed
Joshua 13:2
This is the land that yet remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites,
Whenever you are been condemned and attacked, it takes someone who know he is beloved to knock down the Goliath
Colossians 2:15
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
God disarmed the devil
The devil has programmed the words
He wants to use our words to condemn ourselves
When you condemn yourself you are not looking at the Lord
Holy Spirit point you to Jesus
The law is you focused
Grace is Christ focused
Transformed by beholding
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Joshua 13:1-3
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. This is the land that yet remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites, from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites;
The one who is condemned – wallowing in dust
The enemy food is dust
Genesis 3:14
So the LORD God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
The problem of look at himself of the good
The problem of look at himself of condemning
That place of
Peace
Wholeness
Health
When there is conflict, use oil
The way to remove your problem is not look at your problem
1 Corinthians 12:21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
Superiority and inferiority
We all have needs of one another
1 Corinthians 12:26
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Geshurites – proud beholder
Sihor – darkness
Egypt – mitsrayim – double stress
Egypt means double stress
Everytime you feel stress, it is the enemy try to prevent you from experiencing blessings
Stress is related to sickness
The darkness of double stress
There are many cities that Joshua conquered
Joshua 14:10-11
And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.
You and I, God promised us we will enter the land.
Joshua 13:1
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.

Numbers 14:7
and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.
Is a very very good land
Perspective of Joshua and Caleb is to see the Lord very good
Our walk with God, our relationship with people, are all found in the Bible
The noonday shining on us so brightly. We are seeing revival in our church
There is such growth and such interest in the Word of God
The Word of God is a very very good book. There is yet very much land for to possess
Give me this mountain
Joshua 14:12-13
Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.”
And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.
Hebron
Numbers 14:9
Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
The Lord is with us. Do not fear them

Mountain of Hebron
Joshua 14:14-15
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel. Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba. (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim.) And the land had rest from war.
Caleb said give me this mountain where the most powerful man is there
At 85 years old, Caleb went in and took them down
Hebron – Habar – association
Fellowship
Joining together
Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
With His stripes (habura) we are healed
Habura -> a joining together
By associating with Him, to be joint with Him, we are healed.
He became you at the cross
That you might become Him
At the cross He became disease and sick that you may become health and wholeness of God
2 Chronicles 18:3

Whoever you identify with, identify with you
As He is, so am i in this world

You are members of Hid body, of His flesh and of His bones.

As Jesus is young, so am I in this world
As Jesus is strong so am i in this world
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

See the Lord
Preach Jesus
The glory of His Person
His perfection and complete work at the cross. Nothing added
As Jesus is, so am I in this world
2 Chronicles 18:30
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots who were with him, saying, “Fight with no one small or great, but only with the king of Israel.”

But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Allied (habar)
Whoever you identified himself with you partake of the person

Identify what they are going through
Identify their feelings

As Jesus is in unclouded favour, so am in this world
See all your troubles like Caleb’s perspective
He asked for the most difficult place
He knows the secret to youthfulness
See every difficulties as something to drawn on

As You are, so am i in this world
Behold Him free from the condition, so am i in this world.
God wants us to possess the possession.
