It Is Time To Cross Over

Genesis 14:13 – Abram (Abraham the Hebrew)

-Hebrew means to Cross Over…Pass through…moving from one place to another

-it also speaks of penetrating

-It is time for CCWC, all of us as individuals and the body of Christ in America to Cross Over…….into out destiny, a time of fresh vision and change,,,,a new decade of ministry and a new year…….to believe in a NOW God who can do anything NOW…and have a new vibrant radical faith in Jesus Christ

***We can wander in the wilderness and die like Moses generation or we can be the Joshua generation who crosses over into the promised land and receives the blessings of the Lord.  I choose to be a part of the Joshua generation…

HOW ARE WE GOING TO CROSS OVER?

(1.) Joshua 3:11-17 and Dt 9:3 – WE MUST KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS GONE BEFORE US

-it is the power, wisdom, and strength of the Lord that accomplishes everything

a. Joshua and Jericho

-Joshua 6:1-5 – God gave them His strategy and plan and they walked in it and obeyed

b. the Lord has gone before us as a fire – Deuteronomy 9:3

(2) WE ARE GOING TO CROSS OVER BY BEING PEOPLE OF GREAT RADICAL FAITH – Joshua 1:2

“Cross over this Jordan” – this Jordan was at flood stage and opposite of Jericho

-Jericho was a Canaanite city – a wicked idolatrous nation that hated Israel

-Israel placed their faith in the Lord – Joshua 3:1-17 – they took an initial step and then kept taking steps and the Lord moved as they stepped out in faith

-As they stepped out in faith two things happened:

1. The supernatural occurred – Joshua 3:5

2. They reached others through their steps of faith – Joshua 3:17, 9-10

-we get the word penetrate from the words Cross Over

-the enemies are terrified when they see and hear what is going on because of our faith in the lord and what the lord is doing – Joshua 5:1

(3.) WE ARE GOING TO CROSS OVER BY BEING PREPARED – Joshua 1:11

Joshua commanded the people to be prepared

a. we prepare practically – stay filled up

b. we prepare positionally – by knowing who we are in Christ

c. We prepare through pugging into supernatural power – 3 days

-represents the resurrection power of Jesus Christ
