Joshua 3: 9-17

It is written in Hosea 3:6 that the people of God are destroyed because they lack knowledge. Isaiah < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>5:13 also mentioned that lack of knowledge sent the people of God into captivity. Knowledge has its source in hearing and understanding the Word of God. It is impossible to hear God and doubt Him or fail concerning what is heard from Him. Without understanding, there will be no knowledge and without hearing, there will be no understanding. As a result, what you are hearing constantly and consistently will determine how you get over forces of destruction and it will get your escape from captivity. The Word of God is true and when a believer is true in his or her walk in the Word of God then the Word will work. What are you constantly hearing? After the journey of about forty years, having heard so many times from God through Moses, the children of Israel had to continue to hear so as to be able to continue in their journey. At the point of crossing the Jordan River, God gave Joshua directions that the children of Israel had a need to hear. Joshua called them in Joshua 3:9, ÒSo Joshua said to the children of Israel, ÒCome here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.Ó  In the following verse he pointed out to them that it is what they heard that will give them the knowledge of what God was about to do. Joshua 3:10, ÒAnd Joshua said, ÒBy this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites.Ó Begin to spend more time in the Word of God. Make hearing from Him your music day and night.
