<div class="SSN_title">"THE PRINCIPLES OF CONQUEST"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: History of Israel, typical history. <a onClick="return mV('1Cr',10,'all');">I Cor. 10</a>. Written for examples that we might be admonished, lest we also perish in the wilderness. Heb.4; admonished to enter into God's rest.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS INTENDED TO BE FULL, RICH AND ABUNDANT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. This is not always the image projected by adherents.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Some Christians question our joy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Keith was even rebuked by prominent Christian leaders.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The promised land is not heaven in O.T typology.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Jordan River not physical death.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Songwriters have sometimes indicated this.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Songwriters are not always good theologians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. When Israel came into the promised land they had battles..., defeat....</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. God has promised a life of continual joy and victory.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. A peace that passes human understanding.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Notice he did not say there would not be any battles. "More than conquers."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE PRINCIPLES OF CONQUEST.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Let God go before you. "I wills."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. One of the greatest problems is getting ahead of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. City of Ai.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We want to charge right into the enemy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We expend our energies engaging the enemy when had we just waited he would have fallen.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Isn't it God's will that we witness?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Let the Spirit direct the battle "obey His voice" v.21.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We imagine we see the problem so clearly.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. League with Gibeonites "they took stock of their victuals and inquired not of the Lord."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. They acted before they prayed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Too many times we do this, then pray, "O God, bless my actions," especially when it becomes apparent we goofed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. God has the perfect battle strategy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We may not understand it - Jericho.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Not ours to understand but to obey.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. GOD'S METHOD OF CONQUEST, "LITTLE BY LITTLE."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Not the whole territory at once.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. This is the method we think He should follow.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Give me instant perfection.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Just one area at a time.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The Spirit reveals the self life little by little.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. If He showed it all at once we couldn't take it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Don't try to bring others under your convictions.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. You can be sending them into battles for which they are not prepared.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He does not lead us beyond our range.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. He does not reveal to condemn.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Only to show which area He wants to give victory in next.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I have come to rejoice in His revelations.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Oh, good. He's going to take care of that now.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Why just little by little?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The area that needs conquering is too great.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We must continually depend upon Him.</div>
