Joshua: Be CourageousExperience or Ritual: Joshua 5February 23, 2014Michael\u2019s Personal Goal: To come evermore to that painful place of dying to the fleshV 1: Embracing the things of God, or defending against themApp: Be assured that God\u2019s Word never returns voidApp: Christianity is the only battle ground where surrender means victoryV 2-11: Circumcise HeartsApp: To rest secure in the reality that God is with us The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. Deuteronomy 30:6A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God. Romans 2:28-29In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ,12having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14having cancelled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; He took it away, nailing it to the cross. 15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:11-15App: Be obedient in baptismV 13-15: The Commander of the Lord\u2019s ArmyI fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!" Revelation 22:8b-9V 13-14: God with usApp: Are you allied with God?"About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 7I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?' 8" 'Who are you, Lord?' I asked. "'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,' he replied (Theophany). 9My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to me. 10"'What shall I do, Lord?' Acts 22:6-10aApp: Have you surrendered? (ref. Matthew 8:8-13) What is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
