Audacious Faith- Shaken and Awakened

In a word . . .

“Do not hold back” Isaiah 54:2

In these challenging but decisive times, God is calling us to believe Him for bigger things than we ever have before.

Isaiah 54:2-4a - A bold mission. “Do not hold back!”

Joshua 1:10-11 - God is always up to something bigger than we ask or imagine.

Joshua 1:16 - The right response when your Commander says “No comfort zone! There’s a battle going on!”

BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS!

Joshua 1:2, 3a, 5-7a, 9, 18c

Mark 9:24 “Help my unbelief.” BIG bold, “lid off” praying! (Joshua 5:13-14) Before he was a warrior, Joshua was a worshiper.

You can be sure God goes ahead of you when it’s His ________ you’re __________. So we pray with a new BOLDNESS:

For unlikely breakthroughs - Joshua 3:5

For hard hearts Ezekiel 36:26

For wandering children

Thinking next generation - Joshua 4:21-23

God’s people need those who have experienced God’s faithfulness and miracles to speak up and share the spiritual wealth.

For lost ones within our reach - Jude 23

Caleb: You don’t slow down at the end of the race, getting older. You speed up at the end of the race!

Joshua 14:7-12, 14

Eph. 2:10 - All the days ordained to accomplish all He put us here for. When do I die? When those good works are done!

Caleb knew what Rahab knew: The enemy who tries to stop you with fear is, in fact, afraid of you and your God!

Joshua 2:8-11

Unleash the power of your Hope Story.

Rev. 12:11

Mark 5:19 Ps. 107:2

Joshua 3:3-4a “Move out . . . then you will know . . .”

Miracles happen that otherwise would not have when we step out in faith and when we pray like we know God will act.

Stepping out spiritually (decided in heart), mentally (decided in mind), and physically (action steps).

Believing for that giant when all you’ve got is a slingshot.

Believing for those walls when all you’ve got are trumpets.

Believing for a multitude when all you’ve got is one lunch.

In every case, God shows up and proves time and time again He is the kind of God He says He is!
