Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with the final part of a message called Stretching My Imagination.

Now, what does God promise us if we say, I want to be used?

I want you to use me for the purpose you put me on earth for. What does God promise?

He promises you three things.

And those three things are all found in Joshua 1.

On the back of your outline, if you want to write them down, first, He promises strength.

In verse 5, God says, no one will be able to stand against you.

In other words, what God asks you to do, He'll give you the power to do. He'll give you the strength to do.

Where He guides, He provides.

Number two, God promises to give you success. Success.

And in verse 7, He says, you will be successful.

Did you know that God wants you to succeed in serving Him? He didn't want you to be a failure.

He wants you to succeed. In fact, twice in this chapter, He says, you will be a success. You can count on it.
