(Joshua 5:13) Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man satanding in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?"
(14) "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, "What message does my lord have for his servant?"
(15) The commander of the LORD's army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.
Imagine this picture. Now you crossed the Jordan river, trying to fight the first fight with mighty Canaanites. You are geared up, ready for battle. But that's when the commander of God's army is standing in front of you. We ask "Are you for us or for our enemies?" But the commander should be the one who's asking that question. Then what will you say? You ought to say that "I'm for you." This fight is not by us. It is by God.
Don't try to make God be on your side, but try to be on God side.
Don't try to make God do what you wish for, but try to do what God wish for.
God is our commander.
His name is Faithful, and True. King of Kings, Lord of Lords (Rev. 20:11,16)
God is one who is more than enable to win.
I'm not talking about the fight of flesh,
I'm talking about the spritual fight over the power of death.
Follow Him who leads you to right path.
The path that already won by the cross of Jesus.
Jesus won the battle, by winning the power of death on the cross.
Who follow Jesus and believe in Him will not be condemned.
God is our commander. And we ought to say "I'm for you. God, lead me."
