Moving in the Warfare of Love
Know Your Orders
“Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan,
you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
“Every place on which the role of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses.”
Joshua 1:2-3
Strategic Targets for today:
During a time of instruction from the LORD, He made known that he was giving a fresh revelation as a prayer strategy concerning the march around the walls of Jericho to His people.
First, there was a sound by the blowing of the seven ram’s horns by seven priests, then those that carried the Ark on their shoulders, ushering in His Presence. All following the valiant warriors, those men who carried the sword, all the men of war marching around the city. There is a reversal of order in this from that of King David’s bringing the Ark into the city. Why? Because God was showing us just another divine pattern, He was laying out the order of this Warring Processional. There is a Presence Processional and a Warring Processional, this is why it is so important that you Know Your Orders!
God gave Joshua three mandates:
· Pass through the camp – Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord, clear away the obstacles, and make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God. This means knowing who is in the camp with us and what their positions are. Ask the Lord to reveal, expose and enlighten any hirelings that may try to come into your midst. Asking for revelation and discernment concerning the actions of those who try to come in with anything that is not part of God’s Kingdom purposes.
· Prepare your provisions – Prayer strategies are a part of that preparation, as they are building our faith and trust in all God has promised.
· Command the people – Our Joshua, the Lord Jesus Christ is the Commander and Chief of His officers or leaders. As He speaks to those leaders, they in turn release what they have heard to those with them. Godly authority in the Spirit is increased and multiplied. God will always watch over His Word to perform it, and when we in turn speak only what He speaks, we will see results. A three-day increment is given as to passing over Jordan to take possession of the land. Just as the Prophet Isaiah releases the Word of the LORD, we too must listen and speak. We are learning that the Lord will often work in three-year or three-day time frames. This is a pledge of a progressive fruitful period of time from the Lord, as well as a promise of the remnant again “taking root downward and bearing fruit upward”.
We must use our time wisely, and remove distractions and diversions. Ask the Lord, “What do you want me to do with my time?”
Pray and stand against anything that the enemy is trying to shut down or spring up in your life.
What are the boundaries that the LORD is laying out for you as we take the territory?
Know who it is you work with and are aligned with, or where you are supposed to be aligned. This is a warning and a safeguard for the days ahead; Heed the WORD OF THE LORD!
Implement a wise use of resources for global impact, together with those that move in these foundational truths of God’s WORD and Kingdom Purposes. Have a Heart for Evangelism and Discipleship, guided by the Holy Spirit in Strategic Intercession and Prayer, and focused on the Praise and Worship of Almighty God.
