Saw Covet and Took Chapter 7 Part 2. This is the travel of all sin. We see it, and covet it. Then we take it. It can be anything from adultery to stealing. Achan saw it, coveted it, and took it. Then the Lord had Achan, his family, and all his possessions stoned and burned.
To possess our kingdom of God we must arise in violence – not natural violence but spiritual violence. We must find life’s Rahabs to acquire necessary information. You and I must cross the Jordan at flood stage and cross any hindrance attempting to hold us back. We must be circumcised in our hearts and be sensitive to the Word of God and His Spirit. Jericho has walls and they must come down. There will be those who disobey in our ranks, and we must deal with them (Achan). We will lose some battles, but we will learn to win the war. There are so many principles in the Book of Joshua giving us spiritual insights into doing what Caleb did. That was knowing we can say to Jesus, “Give me my mountain.”
