A MAN OF AUDACIOUS FAITH

If I were to ask you to tell me something you know about Joshua, most of you would answer...Joshua fought the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down...some of you would answer he was one of 12 spies sent into the promise land. Let us review Joshua's life for a moment. He was born into slavery and delivered by God into the wilderness where he developed a relationship with God over 40 year period of time. He was one of the spies who came back with a good report. God told him when he entered the promised land he would give him the land every where his foot touched and named the boundaries and he would deliver his enemies into his hands for the rest of his life. When he was fighting mighty enemies the sun was about to go down and the enemy was about to escape into the shadows to torment them another day and this man of audacious faith prayed that God would make the SUN STAND STILL. Can you imagine that kind of faith. God honored his request and the SUN STOOD STILL for almost 24 hours until the enemy was utterly destroyed. I remember reading an article about the space scientists in Houston, Texas having a problem with the computers. They had a missing day in history and all the scholars could not find it and then a man of faith reminded them of the Biblical day when Joshua asked God to make...THE SUN STAND STILL. They found their missing day and then the computer program worked. We have many prayer requests in our life where we need to pray a ...SUN STAND STILL PRAYER. A time where the enemy is about to slip into the shadows to return and rend us again. We too can be men and women of God with the audacious faith of Joshua and command the SUN TO STAND STILL IN OUR SITUATION. If he did it for Joshua he can do it for you!
