But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live. 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”

How often do I fail to drive out the occupants of myself that are not of God. I must pursue and with God’s help ruthlessly drive out the areas of sin that separate me from God’s glory.

Lord God, Thank you for being a patient God and help me to identify and with the Holy Spirit which lives in me, drive out the hurts, hangups and fears that live within me to create a Holy temple for you to do your work in.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Of all those I rescued from Egypt, no one who is twenty years old or older will ever see the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for they have not obeyed me wholeheartedly.

I would like to think I obey the Lord most of the time. So how do I obey wholeheartedly, how do I surrender ALL my will to the will holding on to nothing. It is amazing the feeling of peace as I identify and area and surrender it but it is amazing how hard it is to find things I live with everyday I need to release and trust God to free me of.

Lord God,
There is a war raging in my spirit. I want to honor you with my whole person but I struggle so much with holding back parts of my life and attitude. Please help me to surrender my whole being and not meet you in an attitude of defense to justify areas I have not dedicated to you.

In Jesus name
Amen
