I'm coming to you now from the basin. This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for you to break it down a little more.

Take it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy this overflow message. Let me know. Let's go.

I think it's crazy inspiring that in the word of God, they listed the victories that God gave the Israelites.

Let's start with the fact that it wasn't just Joshua who won these victories. When we start the book of Joshua, it's like you and all these people are going to enter the land.

And nobody does it by themselves. Nobody who makes any progress or who sees any success or who gets forward momentum does it by themselves.

And anybody who says that they do is delusional. And nobody does it without God. However, there's something that I've learned about myself in the last year, particularly.

And it gave language to why I get so discouraged, why I get so defeated feeling and why I can even be winning in my life, but feel weak inside.

God has done a lot of great things for me, things I can't take credit for. And I know he's done the same for you.

If you look at where your life is today, there are some things that aren't where you want them to be. There are some things that are much further along than you ever thought they'd be.

In some sense, you might say, man, I thought I'd be farther by now, but there's some sense in which you're like, I can't believe that I'm here. I can't believe that I get to be a parent. I can't believe that I get to be married to this person.

I can't believe that I recovered from that devastation. I can't believe I've been 40 days without a drink. I can't believe it. I can't believe that I made it through that trauma survived, lived to tell about it.

I can't believe that even reading my Bible, studying my Bible today, praying, I'm having a better relationship with God.

For some of us, though, it's easier for us to see how far we have to go than it is for us to see how far we've come.

It has a lot to do with personality. It has a lot to do with background and has a lot to do with early childhood templates. I'm not an expert in that.

What I came on here to tell you is that I got happy when I saw the list of victories that God gave Joshua.

Realizing that just before in Joshua 13, he starts dividing up the land because Joshua is really a book about battles.

chapters 1 through 12 and boundaries, chapters 13 up until his farewell speech, battles and boundaries. I want to teach that one day too.

I'll come back and do a session on battles and boundaries. I'm sure in next few sessions.

Before we get to that, he goes, before you divide up the land that God gave you, I want you to record in the record.

Now, I understand that this list was put in later. I know that. But it was put in for a reason before they started dividing up all the land that was conquered and giving each person their inheritance.

They start with Jericho. They then go on to I. Remember I spelled AI, not like artificial intelligence, but it's pronounced I.

They were defeated the first time, but then they went back and beat him the second time. Where it's interesting it says that Joshua and the Israelites conquered I.
