Missions-in-Focus - Keynote 2: His Holiness to Enter into His Blessings

What this episode covers

Br. John Redekop His Holiness to Enter into His Blessings Points to Consider As Joshua stepped out to survey the Jericho, “Behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand.” Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” Joshua was about to learn an all-important lesson before he could enter into the blessings of all that God had promised and now had provided. The Man Joshua faced answered him saying, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” To this Joshua, fell on his face and worshipped declaring, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” (See Joshua 5:13-15.) But before he could go any further, there was another important lesson to be learned. The Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” Once again, as with Moses, the ground became holy ground because of the presence of the Lord. The book of Joshua has often been paralleled with the book of Ephesians, where we find out that our blessings are heavenly in character. We learn in the second chapter of that epistle that the Church is to be a holy habitation of God in the Spirit. If a sense of His holy presence is lacking, this will impact our entering into the blessing that we have been blessed with in Christ. Suggested focus: What are some of these blessings that we are to enter into and enjoy? What hinders us from enjoying them today? What is the main prerequisite to enjoying “the land”?
