Joshua 1:3 BSB “I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.”
This promise is for Joshua, the new leader after Moses’ death, but it goes downward to the people as long as Joshua complies with the prerequisites. But for the people, you are not allowed to pick your own land. It must be the area God has chosen, and Joshua must lead into it. What is considered “everywhere”? It means whatever new things we take on, opportunities, challenges, or new endeavors will be given to us. But it must be in the areas the pastors are showing. For example, “Army Reserves” or equivalent is the current call. Another example, if Pastor Yoojin is obtaining a Pilates certification, should others follow? Can AI stretch?
What is a leader? What are conditions?
Leaders are the Senior Pastors of the church. Parents to children. Cell groups to their members. Elders to those whom you counsel. But what if the leaders are chicken 💩 crap? Then, I’m sorry, you are screwed!
1. Be strong and courageous. This means do not be lazy, chicken crap 💩, or afraid like some mouse.
2. “Be careful to observe all the law My servant Moses commanded you.”
This means you must be careful of all the instructions given to you by pastors from the Lord!
3. “Do not turn from the instructions to the left or right so that you may prosper.”
This means keep straight and stop deviating by adding or subtracting from the instructions. Stop cheating! Stop hiding food under your bed! Stop lying! Stop making up crap! Stop 🛑 it! Just stop it already! Stop 🛑 🛑
4. “This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.”
This means, unless you know the Bible, you are chicken crap. 💩 Therefore, read and know the Word of God, or you are but a label without content.
5. Once again,” Do not be afraid!”
I need to ask a question. Which family are you from? Family from Foster Farms chicken or Family of overcomers through Christ? Are you an organic chicken or a holy Christian? What happens to chicken? They get fried.
Revelation 21:8 BSB “But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

Joshua and the tribes set foot, and what happened? Did they ask the giants to leave? Did it cost them nothing? All they had to do was daydream, and they got it? No, they had to take it away from the enemy.
No, they had to fight for it. What does that mean in today’s terms?
