Secure, Impregnable, Unshakable, Fully Committed, Wholehearted Loyal Dedication (to God)
Courage:
The ability (by faith) to confront fears, worries, doubts, difficulties, and dangers with resolve; in spite of fears, worries, doubts, difficulties, and dangers. It is not the absence of fears, worries, doubts, difficulties, and dangers; it is the ability (by faith) to not let fears, worries, doubts, difficulties, and dangers dominate. Move forward by Faith in God (Trust, Rely, Obey, Be Loyal, Follow Him). God is Always with You. Know that nothing comes your way unless God allows it. Know that nothing can take you out before your appointed time to die. God is Sovereign - He is in Control of Everything.

Israel had been given the Promised Land. Yet they still had to be strong & courageous and walk in faith to receive their inheritance. Followers of Jesus have been given a New Identity. Yet we still have to be strong & courageous and walk in faith to receive our inheritance (our True Identity in Jesus). Just like the Israelite's were to remember & receive everything God had already given them through Abraham, we must remember & receive everything God has already given us through Jesus. We all have battles (strongholds) that need to be confronted/dealt with. God will Provide the Victory... Fight the Good Fight of Faith and Receive Your Inheritance!
The principles given in this Book of Joshua are the same for the Follower of Jesus today.
Father, enable us to walk in faith so we can receive everything You have Promised us!
