Summary

“Here with [a sword] drawn out of the scabbard, to justify the war with the Canaanites, and to encourage Joshua to proceed in it. His sword has been drawn against his enemies, and those of his people from the beginning, ever since the fall of man, when enmity commenced between him and the seed of the serpent; it appeared drawn when here on earth combating with all our spiritual enemies, and will never be put up until all enemies are put under his feet... The spiritual Israel of God, the Church, is in a militant state, and has many enemies to combat with - sin, Satan, the world, and false teachers; Christ is their Leader and Commander, the Captain of their salvation, and has all necessary qualifications of wisdom, courage, and might, for such an office.” -John Gill

0:00.0	All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
0:04.7	because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and
0:09.6	admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
0:16.3	Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness
0:23.2	of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

0:52.8	join me now in standing for the reading of God's word?
0:55.8	I'll read our text in its entirety.
0:57.5	When I finish reading the text, I'm going to say,
0:59.5	this is the word of the Lord, at which point I would appreciate very much if you would
1:03.0	respond by saying thanks be to God.
1:05.6	One final time, our text for it today is Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 through 15 the Bible says this when Joshua was by
1:14.5	Jericho he lifted up his eyes and looked and behold a man was standing before him with his drawn sword
1:22.2	in his hand and Joshua went to him and said to him are you for us or for our adversaries?
1:29.2	And he said, no.
1:30.9	But I am the commander of the army of the Lord.
1:34.7	Now I have come.
1:36.4	And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshipped and said to him,
