Joshua 1:1-5 (click to read)
The Wilderness is a place of 'just enough'... but we're on their way to the place of 'more than enough', the Promised Land.
Some seasons have to die for new seasons to be birthed. You can't 'get over' until you 'get up'! The death of Moses made room for Joshua. The death of one thing always makes room for something else.
A promise does not mean 'no problems'!
Joshua proved his worthiness as a successor with three tests:
- He waited in place for Moses for 40 days. He did not move out of place!
- He and Caleb were of a different spirit and saw the potential rather than the problems when the ten spies were sent to spy out the land!
- He had no problem going into battle while Moses stayed on the mountain. He had Moses' hands held up so that the battle would be theirs.
God gave Joshua three promises:
- Victory over his enemies.
- He reminded them of his faithfulness and that He never changes.
- He would never forsake them.
What sometimes looks like an obstacle is really an opportunity! The transition we are going through is God's opportunity as HWC is getting ready to see a great harvest; a harvest of souls, a harvest of God's outpuring and blessing like we have never seen before! Praise God!

WOW!! God must really love the people of HWC! The word in season that Dr. Toni brought dovetailed perfectly with what the Bishop declared this morning! We are a blessed body. As God promotes our Pastors to the next level, we and the youth (our Joshua generation) are also getting ready to walk in our promotion!
ReplyDeletethis was pure heaven,never had a weekend like this, understading your season, understand how to behave in the wilderness during this period of transition, what wisdom, what timely word,thank God for you pastor Kevin and pastor Pam for your guidance in this period of my life.
ReplyDeleteMan, this word really put a fight in my spirit!! We are still being reminded of the Holy Ghost to not allow the flesh to hinder us during this time of transition. Thank you Jesus for such an empowering word, and thank you Lord for HWC!!
ReplyDeleteI missed the morning service due to work, but man when I showed up in the afternoon, the power and presence of God were still so strong , and of course a word in season, from heaven, linked to our pastors messages, God is Good... lets make sure to do our part in this transition so we don't miss our window...
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time in the presence of God and the Word that came forth in both services was a Word for us and for this season we in. But I must say, I felt such a overwhelming pride in my leaders, Pastor Kevin and Pastor Pam, even though it wasn't them preaching. I love Harvest Worship Centre and am proud to be apart of this family. I thank God for my pastors and what He's doing in and thru them. May God continue to bless, protect, keep and strengthen you always. We love you.

I took the messages this weekend very seriously because they tied in so well with what Pastors have been speaking at HWC. This is not time to let flesh get in the way, we have to be obedient and pay attention to the details. Thank God for the wonderful guests and speakers Dr. Toni and Bishop Alvarado and for awesome Pastors who are leading us victoriously in this season!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing and powerful service. The Holy Spirit really confirmed what our Pastors have been preaching. it's time to take our obedience to another level and kill our flesh.
