Pastor Daniel
THE DAY THE SUN STOOD STILL
Joshua10:7-14
Joshua had always sought after God, but this time he didnt seek God.
Israel fell into an unholy alliance
Examples of unholy alliance in our life - wrong relationships, addictions
"Sun stood still" means having more time
MOST OF US HAVE A PATHETIC PRAYER LIFE
3 componets missing in our prayer life (3As)
#1. Audacity [daring]
Our prayers must be big enough to involve God. It must be so big that only God can answer. We want the people around us to say "BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! ONLY GOD CAN DO IT!"
Fact: If the prayer is according to His will, He will answer
If the prayer is NOT according to His will, He will NOT answer.
Joshua 5:14
Our God is the God of the IMPOSSIBLES!
Hebrews 4:16
WHen its according to the will of God, nothing till be too big. SO... ASK AUDACIOUSLY
#2. Accuracy [specific]
Specific prayers make powerful prayers
The sun and moon stood still and Joshua cried out (AMAZING!)
Psalm 139
Trust me, you cant run away from God
People like to talk about SMART goals.
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
BBBUUUTTTTTT.... our goals should be SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE and IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE (impossible on man's own strength but possible because of God)
#3. Action
Prayers should be great and important enough for you to fight for.
If you dont move, God wont move - simple as that
"Faith without actions is dead"
Prayers without action = no faith!
--> If you want a miracle, God want to see action
Joshua marched up
Prayers should be the first thing we do in our time of need
We cannot just pray, we need to have action
God will do the super
We have to do the natural before God can add in the super into your natural
Whats the point of asking God for help when you dont change your lifestyle
Example, a fat guy wants to lose weight yet he's eating buffet dayand night. like that how to lose weight?!?!
We need to be ready to march all day long
Joshua had tactic and technique. They are involved. They need help and they had action.
Your situation will only turn around when you get into motion
--> God confirm will take more action and you [God aim hailstones at the enemy and wiped out more people than Joshua and his men could kill]
Prov 21:31
VICTORY RESTS WITH THE LORD
