FEAR IS NOT MY FUTURE | TO THE FUTURE SERIES

KHQ

Numbers 13:1-3, 17-33 NIV

Joshua 1:1-9 NIV

Premise

⁃It is when we learn to grip fear by the neck instead of fear gripping us that we move into the promises of God with full confidence and assurance. It is true that God is taking you into a new place called PROMISE but fear can’t go with you! Fear of the future must be abandoned if enlargement and expansion will be secured and accomplished. True contentment within the fulfillment of the promises God comes from learning to divorce fear from your future. When this occurs total trust in the Lord can be displayed no matter the season, circumstance, and/or mission. The promise isn’t near, its here!

Prophetic Insight

1.Anytime God wants to start something new and fresh He looks for a vessel who will allow faith to drive them instead of fear parking them. Part of getting ready for the promise of tomorrow is letting go of the fear of yesterday.

“After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.”

Joshua 1:1-2 NIV

2. Where we are is the start, not the end. God is expanding us beyond where we live and granting us influence and affluence in multiple territories.

“I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.”

Joshua 1:3-4 NIV

3. Fear Is NOT Our Future! Fear who? Fear What?

“No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.” Joshua 1:5-6 NIV

4. Success is found in the instructions of The Lord. Follow them and we will prosper!

““Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this

Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

Joshua 1:7-8 NIV

5. Where you go is where God will be!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.””

Joshua 1:9 NIV

Conclusion

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”

Isaiah 41:10-13 NIV
