The Journey of True Joy | Jentezen Franklin

God said for 40 years I led you in the wilderness and your clothes did not wear out watch this nor did your sandals wear out on your feet but they had traffic through the Wilderness the dust of everywhere they had been for 40 years they were wearing the same shoes and God said I'm not taking you into the same place you've been walking in you're crossing over into the promised land and I need you to take your shoes off let go of the past the Lord's about to take you into your promised land and you

can't bring the old you've got to get rid of the old take off your shoes get rid of it get rid of it Ephesians 6 and verse 15 tells us that shoes mean something else said have your feet shogged with the preparation or the Readiness of the gospel shoes represent Readiness and here's what I'm trying to get you to see so many times we're so ready to go out and get the job done we're so ready to just you know get our shoes on and go go make it happen in ourselves but when you fast

and when you pray God's saying take your shoes off and be still and know that I am God take your shoes off I don't want you to run out into the battle I don't want you to handle this your way I want you to spend some time with me the next all I need Joshua for victory the next seven days is for you to get your listen to my simple instruction believe it and do it and then get the focus off the wall and get it on me and listen take your shoes off be still

and know that I am God and then he said something powerful to Joshua earlier in that book in Joshua chapter 1 he said three times be strong and courageous for I am with you be strong and courageous and then he said meditate on the word day and night and then these are biblical words you will be prosperous and successful I do not apologize for those two words it's not a it's not by chance if you meditate in the word day and night you will be prosperous you will be successful if you keep this word and

you live it God Will Raise You Up From the Ashes God will supply all your needs according to his riches and Glory God invented meditation and he said meditate in my word day and night saturate yourself in it don't let the counterfeit religions act like they're deep in meditation for they ever heard a meditation God said meditate on this wake up with the word go to bed with the word play the word in your car listen to it in music listen to it on tape listen to it on whatever you got iPods or Internet or

whatever get the word the flowing in you meditate on the word of God and God says if you do it you will be strong if you do it you will be courageous if you'll do it you will be prosperous if you do it you will be successful when I don't believe in that stuff then lose your job this week and watch oh God I can't stand religious people you get real spiritual when you're in a financial crisis never make fun or be little people who believe God to supply all their needs I started with nothing
