When we take matters into our own hands we are in affect taking them out of God’s hands. When we fail to seek God and go about things our own way and totally disregard our relationship with God and His leadership we are failing to allow God the opportunity to work for us. The problem we have many times is we take the opportunity away from God by fighting our own battles. EVERY OBSTICLE WE FACE IS SUBJECT TO THE POWER OF GOD.ġ7"Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. But the interesting and sometimes confusing things about His promises is that there are walls between the promises.ġ. Transition: God has given us His promises. We all face obstacles of some sort or another whether it be War with terrorism or personal finances we sometimes find ourselves with the odds stacked against us. Some people have what seem to be insurmountable obstacles in there family relationships. Or it might be a person you work with, that is constantly holding you back, or a personality conflict that makes the workplace tense. Sometimes the obstacles we face is running short on money. On a more personal level our enemies might be better defined as obstacles. God’s will was to deliver the city of Jericho over to the Israelites, but first they had to follow God’s leadership to victory. Each wall was lined with soldiers and watchmen stood at every gate.
But it was a city surrounded by two enormous walls, 15 feet apart. Jericho was not a large city in terms of land dimensions. The great of walls of this city made it a fortress that was impossible for the Israelites to penetrate in there own power. Soon after the nation of Israel crossed over the Jordan River into the promise land they came upon one of the most fortified cities of there time the city of Jericho. One of the most difficult aspects of terrorism is exposing our enemy. We all realize that this war is so very different from any other war because we’re not fighting a specific people in a specific place. Terrorism is not a person or a people for that matter it’s a state of mind, a cowardly way of fighting. Fighting the war on terrorism is not as simple as finding one man and bringing him to justice.
The most difficult aspect of this war is identifying and locating our enemies. Intro: We as Americans have declared war on terrorism.
