5. Joshua 1:1-9
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it
came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son
of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: 2 “Moses My servant
is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you
and all this people, to the land which I am giving to
them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the
sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I
said to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this
Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates,
all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea
toward the going down of the sun, shall be your
territory.

6. Joshua 1:1-9
5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the
days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be
with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be
strong and of good courage, for to this people you
shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore
to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and
very courageous, that you may observe to do
according to all the law which Moses My servant
commanded you; do not turn from it to the right
hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever
you go.

7. Joshua 1:1-9
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your
mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night,
that you may observe to do according to all that is
written in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of
good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,
for the LORD your God is with you wherever you
go.”

8. Friendhip with God
Joshua 1:9 Be strong and of good courage; do not
be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your
God is with you wherever you go.”
Fear can only be overcome when we have a close
relationship with God
Joshua learn it from His teacher, Moses
Ex. 33: 11 So the LORD spoke to Moses face to
face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he
would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua
the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from
the tabernacle.

9. Friendhip with God
How do you become friends with God?
Communicate & fellowship with God thru
prayer, worship & Word daily.
Involve Him in your daily life in every
decision making.
Do things that please Him.

11. Friendhip with God
Do not be friend with the world!
James 4:4 Do you not know that friendship
with the world is enmity with God? Whoever
therefore wants to be a friend of the world
makes himself an enemy of God.
Choose your side!
Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be
against us?
The question is whose side are you on?

12. Faith in God
 Faith and fear CANNOT co-exist
John 12:42-43
42Yet at the same time many even among the leaders
believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they
would not confess their faith for fear they would
be put out of the synagogue; 43for they loved praise
from men more than praise from God.
 Without faith it’s impossible to please God (Heb 11:6)
and faith comes from hearing by the Word (Rm 10:17)
 Fear comes from hearing of bad news!

13. Faith in God
 Do not act or make decision based on news or
circumstances but based on what you hear from the
Lord and do it by FAITH!
 Isaac was blessed tremendously in midst of great
famine (Gen 26).

14. Forgiveness from God
 Gen 3:9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said
to him, “Where are you?”10 So he said, “I heard Your
voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was
naked; and I hid myself.”
 No one told them they were naked. Sin creates guilt
and fear. Adam didn’t confess and repent, he blamed
Eve instead. Confess and repent from sins. 1 John 1:9
 The Battle of Ai
 Hidden sins would distract our friendship with God and
destroy our Faith, would create fear and would
prevent us from receiving the fulfillment of God’s
promises.
