What It Means To Be Strong and Courageous As You Cross The Threshold Into New Dimensions In God ....

Understand the word that Moses spake unto Joshua at the point of his transition ..... At the point where God was transitioning Joshua into leadership.    God is transitioning you today.  He wants you to lead those around you.    To lead them into covenant with Him.    Moses told Joshua and the children of Israel .... to be strong and courageous.    Understand the word strong means .... solid; tough; not easily broken or injured; able to withstand violence; able to sustain attacks; not easily subdued or taken.    The word courageous means the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.    God has called each of us to be strong and courageous in Him.    You are about to cross a "Jordan" in your life.   A threshold that will take you to new dimensions in your relationship with God.   But understand the enemy will come to try to get you off track.   At that point you must be strong and courageous.   You must be full His word and full of His faith.  

Deuteronomy 31:1-9
Amplified Bible (AMP)
 1AND MOSES went on speaking these words to all Israel:     2And he said to them, I am 120 years old this day; I can no more go out and come in. And the Lord has said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
    3The Lord your God will Himself go over before you, and He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. And Joshua shall go over before you, as the Lord has said.
    4And the Lord will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when He destroyed them.
    5And the Lord will give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.
    6Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.
    7And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong, courageous, and firm, for you shall go with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to possess it.
    8It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit--depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].
    9And Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.
