Perhaps you will think to yourselves, ‘How can we ever conquer these nations that are so much more powerful than we are?’ 18But don’t be afraid of them! Just remember what the lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the land of Egypt.

How can I conquer these sin habits living in me? The Lord is in me and I have to surrender wholeheartedly all of myself to him. Then sin has no place to hide, It will be a slow process or other sin nature things will move in.

Lord God,
Help, again I say help. Help me to surrender all my thoughts over to you, help me to remove my filter that I place over things I see and think and replace it with your Holy, perfect filter.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the lord your God that I am giving you.
For what great nation has a god as near to them as the lord our God is near to us whenever we call on him?
But from there you will search again for the lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.

God Spells out with great detail how I should live, I tend to justify changes in his detailed instructions to justify my will over his instructions. He is near when I call on him so why don’t I call on him at all times. Why do I not search for him with all my heart and soul even thou I know he will meet me if I do.
Sin is still too important in my life.

Lord God again I come to you asking for your power to be the only power in me. Release me from the grip Satan has over me and fortify my spirit to resist his attacks. Restore me to what you created me for and allow me to experience your great Joy in all I do.

In Jesus name
Amen

The Word made flesh.

By spending time in the word we get to know Jesus and by meditation on the word we allow Jesus to teach us.

Lord God, open my heart to want you.

In Jesus name,

Amen

But the lord our God handed him over to us, and we crushed him, his sons, and all his people. 34We conquered all his towns and completely destroyed everyone—men, women, and children. Not a single person was spared. 35We took all the livestock as plunder for ourselves, along with anything of value from the towns we ransacked.

The Lord wants to hand over our enemies if we will follow his command. Then we will have riches of plunder abundant. We learn from our struggles, as we overcome them we grow in confidence, experience and courage as a benefit of the struggle. God wants to hand over riches but we are stubborn and have our own ideas of how this life should go.

Lord God, Help me to trust in you to hand over the enemies in my life, help me to completely wipe out all evil I live with and allow to separate me from your glory.

In Jesus name,
Amen

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

But Balaam replied to Balak, “Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the lord tells me?”
By now Balaam realized that the lord was determined to bless Israel, so he did not resort to divination as before.
This is the message of Balaam son of Beor,
the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,
16the message of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,
Balaam concluded his messages by saying:
“Alas, who can survive
unless God has willed it?
