THE LIFE OF JOSHUA – LESSON 10

VICTORY OR DEFEAT?

After the men healed from being circumcised, Israel left Gilgal to go to Jericho. God had given very specific instructions to Joshua of how to march seven days around this large, fortified city.

Jericho actually had two 30-foot-tall walls spaced 15 feet apart. The first wall was six feet thick and the second twelve feet thick. If the first six-foot thick wall was breached, the second twelve-foot-thick wall should hold any enemy.

Such walls were no obstacle to God. Both walls fell flat to the ground allowing Israel to rush in and kill every living creature except Rahab’s family.

Archaeologist Dr. John Garstang (1876-1956) found the walls in his excavations lying flat on the ground which verified the accuracy of Joshua 6:20 which said that “the wall fell down flat.” It fell intact, not crumbled or broken up. Only God could do that.

Joshua had approximately four hundred thousand men suited for war. After the conquest of Jericho, he sent spies to evaluate a small town near Jericho named Ai. The spies came back and reported that it would only take a relatively small band of soldiers to take the town.

Joshua sent 3,000 soldiers to conquer Ai. They lost the battle. It only took 36 men of Ai to conquer them! Joshua was so upset that he rent his clothes and spent the day prostrate before the ark of the LORD (Joshua 7:6). How could God perform such a great miracle at Jericho only to let them be humiliated by such a tiny group?

God revealed to Joshua that the defeat was due to sin in the camp. It was then shown that Achan, in his greed, had taken a spoil from Jericho consisting of 200 shekels of silver, 50 shekels of gold, some fine garments and hid them. It had been forbidden by God for the people to take anything from Jericho. Achan was then stoned and all the goods that had been stolen were burned. After this Ai was defeated.

Joshua, in his wisdom, raised up a large heap of stones over Achan’s ashes to appease God’s wrath (like unto an altar) as a reminder to never sin against God’s instructions.

We know that unconfessed sin in our individual lives can open the door to adverse happenings to us. What we do not usually think about is that sin in the church or our house can cause these adverse things to happen to the whole church or family including the innocent people. It opens the door to the devourer.

Sin must be dealt with, not tolerated.

THE WATCHMAN

In the book of Ezekiel chapter 33 it speaks of the watchman. The word “watchman” is defined as one who peers into the distance, who observes, who beholds, and who waits.

Ezekiel was assigned to be a “watchman” for God. He was told by God that he was going to bring a sword upon the land. He, as a watchman, was to blow a trumpet when he saw those coming with the sword and he was to warn the people. If the people listened to the trumpet and heeded the warning and were killed by the sword then the Ezekiel would not be held accountable for their deaths. Their blood would be upon their own heads/hands.

If the “watchman” did not warn the people that the sword was coming by not blowing the trumpet, then if they were killed the people’s blood would be on the watchman’s head/hands for not warning them.

God takes warnings seriously. Years ago, when I was very young and ignorant in the things of God a person knocked on my front door. I realized they were from a cult. As they started to speak, I told them I had my own church and shut the door. Immediately I heard the Lord speak to me. He told me that their blood was on my hands. I had no idea what he was talking about but looked it up in scripture and found the story in the book of Ezekiel.

You see, each of us as Christians are “watchmen.” We are to be ready to give the gospel to those that are lost and in darkness. Those poor lost souls that came to my door were deceived by the cult that sent them out and God wanted me to witness to them. I did not even know how to witness. That day I determined to do what was necessary to be that “watchman” and share the gospel with everyone that God sent my way. I did not want anybody’s blood on my hands.

Over the years there have been many that have come to my door or across my path. They may start with their canned presentation, but I share the word of God and give them an opportunity to come out of their darkness. I warn each of them that choose not to come to the light that one day they will stand before God and the words I shared would come to their minds. They will realize on that day that they had a chance to get saved but chose not to.

What about you? Since each of us are “watchmen” are you sharing the light with others when you have an opportunity? Or are you like I “was” and shut the door without giving them the light? If the latter is the case, then perhaps like me you need to repent. The story in Ezekiel holds true for today for each of us. I pray that you will take this to heart and be the light for those in darkness as a “watchman” for the Lord and not have the blood of those not warned on your head/hands.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

Woe unto the prophets that would prophesy that all is good when there is a shaking and quaking coming that will bring men to their knees and bring destruction and famine. Woe to those that sit in the pew and listen for a tickling ear message, for I would say that your ears will burn with the word of God that will bring down houses that say they are of me, and they are not. Woe unto them that prophesy that riches and fame are yours for the asking, for I would say unto you that the riches of this world shall bring you down saith the Lord. This is the season of cleansing, and my fire shall burn throughout the land. It will burn in the churches that have stood on the fence and they shall be burned without repentance. It shall burn in lives that have compromised the word and have shared what men want to hear rather than what I would have them hear. The day of the false prophet will be made more clearer than ever. For I will expose those that have secret sin and will bring them to their knees in repentance or will burn them up along with their vanities saith the Lord. For this is the hour that will bring much sorrow to those that have not heeded the call to come to me and be repentant of heart. For there will be much sorrow as plague after plague will be sent just as in the days of Moses before Pharaoh. For I will bring judgment on those that have said good is evil and evil good. It will start with those in leadership and will come down into the houses of those that have little for they have turned their backs to me. They have hardened their hearts and have become as hard as stone. For those stones shall be crushed under the weight of my judgment. I would say this is not the hour to play the game of church. This is the hour for the true church to rise up and be the mouthpiece to call sin, sin and evil, evil. This is the hour to rise and shine and be what I have called you to be. But woe unto those that have heard the call and have not heeded it, for surely as the handwriting was on the wall, your days are numbered saith the Lord. Turn, turn back to me with a repentant heart and I will spare you. Be the watchman that soundeth the alarm when they see evil coming. Be the ones that will pay the price no matter what the cost shall be saith the Lord. For the time is at hand that these things shall take place. There are no more warnings. For I have declared it saith the Lord.

Apostle Pat Murray

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Sure growth is painful...And yes, change can sometimes be even more painful...But nothing is any more painful than being stuck where you know in your heart that you do not belong. Some of you just need to go ahead and admit to yourself that...It is past time for a change; It’s then that you can move on into a happier and more fulfilled life.
