<TITLE>12. Par 38-39</TITLE>L-38 Now, when Joshua was over there walking around after he crossed over Jordan, then begin to eat some of the old corn... I can imagine Joshua that morning, after having this great vision of the Lord saying, "I'll be with you. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you." Called him out one night and said, "Now, look, Joshua," give him a vision, said, "Now My servant Moses is dead. Rise and go over this Jordan, thou and all the host of Israel. And the Lord thy God will be with thee. No man shall stand before thee all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you. Only be good courageous, and do not be discouraged; just keep moving on, I will be with you. Every place you set the soles of your feet is a possession for you."
Footprints means possession, brother. What the Church needs tonight is some more footprints over here on this land. Don't hang around Jordan too long. Let's get out of here and see what we got. All right.
Every time that he made a footprint, every time he footprinted on, it was a possession. I can see Joshua, after he had the vision; he said, "Now, gather all Israel and stand down by the Jordan. Sanctify yourselves, wash your clothes, and come down to its banks in the morning, I'll show you what the glory of God is." Amen. He had a vision. God told him in His Word, the Word said, "I've give you the land. It's yours. It's your possession."

L-39 Now, why did he... Why didn't he go over there and clean out all the--all the Philistines and so forth? And I'd say, "Come on." You got something to do too. God just don't poke things down your neck. You've got to believe it; you've got to do some fighting.
As Peter Cartwright said to the drunkard that day, many of you has read his, told him, said, "What are you going to do here?"
Said, "I'm going to hold a meeting."
Said, "Who told you?"
Said, "The Lord."
Said, "You got to whip me first."
Said, "Well, if that's my next job, all right." Undone his coat, beat him up, got on top of him, get beat him in the face, said, "I must fight if I should reign, increase my courage, Lord." Beat the guy up. Said, "You got enough?"
Said, "Yep." Shook his hand, come on back and got saved.
That's what we need. You got to do some fighting, not with your fists, but with the power of God by your testimony. That's how you overcome, by the Blood of the Lamb and your testimony. Tell the devil he's got no strings tied to you. "You've put this disease on me, but Jesus Christ delivered me from it. He promised it to me."
