Hey, this is Stephen Furtick. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.

I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your

faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God as moving in your life. Enjoy the message.

Joshua chapter 14, please remain standing for one moment in respect and honor for the

word of God. The Lord has given me something today that is so beautiful to me. And I pray

that I can show it to you accurately today and that you can receive it. I prays God in advance

for the way He's going to show you today who He really is in your life and who you really

are in His eyes. Amen. I'm so glad you're here. I prayed you wouldn't miss church today.

I was like Lord, whoever needs to hear it, even if their kids fight them all the way to

church and they got a flat tire, help them to roll down the street on a hubcap to get

this message today. So if you tuned in, it wasn't by mistake. We were praying that everyone

who would need this message would get it. Even if it's two years later and you found

it on YouTube after watching a cat video or BTS, this is going to be your message. This

is going to be the one. The Lord has heard the questions you've been asking. He's seen

the struggle you've been facing. And he wants to give you something today to see it in

a different light. Joshua, chapter 14, a very pivotal scripture for the nation of Israel

and for us as Joshua gives the inheritance that God promised so many centuries ago to the

people who were walking into the land. And as he's dividing up the different parcels or the

lots, casting lots to decide which tribe will live on what lot. One person takes initiative

named Caleb and I want to read you his speech that he made to Joshua because he's trying to convince

him that he's supposed to live in a certain place. And so he's going to tell him some things from

his resume and he's also going to tell him some things and reflect on some things that have happened.
