Joshua Chapter 3 finds Joshua, and all of God's people, camped out beside the Jordan River during flood stage. The word of the Lord comes to Joshua, the new leader of Israel, and the command is this, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." (Joshua 3:5). In this command the people of God are called to do something they have never done before - cross the Jordan and posses the land.
It is my belief that these words are God's call on Western Hills today. In recent weeks this church has faced struggles, trials, and loss. In many ways it appears that a river at flood stage separates us from our future. How in the world do we move forward? We need to hear God's call for us, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."
What does that mean? It means that collectively and individually, publicly and privately we pray and we fast. We pray for ears to hear the voice of God and eyes to see the movement of God. We get ready for God to declare himself. Remember, it is he who will DO the amazing things. And when the call to move comes, we head out.
Love Ya Much,
