21. Wondrous things: Though it linger, wait for it.

God can work in our children’s wrong choices. He can use evil influence to bring about good. God can reach us in our sin! We pray for our children, and we see God’s answers by faith. “Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3) Worship Our Father, [...]

20. Advice from the crowd: Reaching a wayward son

The father’s #1 goal was to reach his wayward son. Children are more important than rules. Raising our children takes priority over adhering to rules so we look good. “The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath” (Mark 2:27). A Son Goes Missing The son had come of age, and he [...]

19. From victory unto victory: It’s time to take the land!

God commissioned us to train our children. He will not call us to fruitless labor, for he will enable. We will defeat the giants, and we will train our children. God has given us the land! “So Joshua took the entire land, just as the LORD had directed….” (Joshua 11:23). It’s Time to Take the [...]

18. Battling the giants: Reclaiming our children

God commissioned Joshua to take the land of the giants. Joshua didn’t hesitate. Will we tremble in fear as our children follow giants today, or will we reclaim our children for God? “God is getting ready to do something great!” (Joshua 3:5, paraphrased). Commission and Covenant “After the death of Moses the servant of the [...]

17. Learning from Godly leaders: Mentored by Moses

History was in its infancy, yet Moses asked, “Has God ever before done anything so great?” We have far more than Moses today. We have the risen Savior living inside us. “Has God ever before done anything so great in history as we have seen?” (Deuteronomy 4:32, paraphrased.) Moses Was Meek, but God Was Mighty [...]

16. Faith for the battle: Listening in God’s presence

Joshua found faith for the battle by listening in God’s presence, meditating upon God’s deliverance, and rehearsing God’s words. God told Moses, “Make sure that Joshua hears it.” “Write this…to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it” (Exodus 7:14). Joshua Rehearsed God’s Words In chapter 15, we saw that Joshua remembered God’s deliverance [...]

15. Remembering the past: Lessons from Joshua

Joshua believed God’s promise, remembered God’s faithfulness, obeyed God’s orders, experienced God’s victory, and led the Israelite army under banner of God’s deliverance. “The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid” (Numberrs 14:9). Joshua Believed God’s Promise How can I have the kind of faith that gets results? The story of Joshua in the [...]

14. Activating God’s promises: Catalyst of faith

We activate God’s promises with the catalyst of faith. Do we dare to force God’s hand? No, God has forced his own hand. God is honor-bound to keep his word. “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence” (Hebrews 4:16). Seeking Faith to Believe Jesus indicated that the key is to believe. Our [...]

13. Campaign of prayer: Media advocates

Satan has launched an aggressive media campaign against our children. We are media advocates agreeing in prayer: powerful and effective, right with God. “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16). Satan’s Campaign Satan has launched an aggressive campaign against our children. He attacks them relentlessly through our media system, our [...]
