21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

God’s work did not end with Moses. When seasons change, God’s purpose continues. Joshua was called to step into leadership with courage, trusting that the same God who was with Moses would be with him. New seasons require new obedience. Whatever season we are in, God’s purpose continues in our life. “After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore

Courage is anchored in God’s presence. Courage is not the absence of fear; it is obedience in the presence of fear. God did not promise Joshua an easy journey, but He promised His presence. Strength flows from knowing God is with us. “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. Have I not commanded you? B

Victory begins with meditation on God’s Word. Joshua was instructed to speak, meditate on, and obey the Word. Spiritual success flows from alignment with God’s truth. Declare His word today! “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Joshua 1:8 Prayer Lord, plant Your Word

God often calls us to prepare before we see the promise fulfilled. Faith plans ahead because it trusts God’s direction. Preparation is an act of obedience. Just as you have planned physically for this fast, let us also ensure we have planned spiritually…what we desire God to do in us during this fast. “Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you w

The Israelites committed to follow Joshua just as they followed Moses. Unity strengthens God’s people and advances His purpose. God works powerfully when His people stand together. “But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valour, and help them, until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and

Rahab believed in the God of Israel before she saw His power firsthand. Faith sometimes begins with a decision to trust what we know of God, even when the outcome is uncertain. (But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.) Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all

Before God performed miracles, He called the people to consecrate themselves. Holiness positions us to see God work. What God does publicly often begins privately. “And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5 Prayer Search my heart, Lord, and set me apart for Your purpose. Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead

The waters did not part until the priests stepped in. Faith moves first, trusting God to act. Breakthrough often comes after obedience, not before it. “And as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest). Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Isr

God instructed Israel to build a memorial so future generations would remember His faithfulness. Remembering what God has done strengthens faith for what lies ahead. Keep a journal and share His faithfulness with others. Joshua 4:6-7, “That this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it cros

Before battle, God dealt with the hearts of His people. Renewal may be uncomfortable, but it prepares us for victory. Obedience brings restoration and draws us closer to God. So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised. Then Joshua circumcised their sons who

Joshua learned that God was not on his side, Joshua was on God’s side. Victory comes when we submit to God’s authority and follow His lead. “And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Joshua 5:13-14 Prayer Lord

God’s plan for Jericho did not make sense, but obedience brought victory. God’s ways often defy human logic, yet they always lead to fulfillment of His promises. “And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valour. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the se

When the people shouted, the walls fell. Praise declares faith in God’s power before the breakthrough is visible. Worship is a weapon. So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” Joshua 6:20 Prayer Lord, teach me to praise You in fait

Hidden sin affected the entire camp. Hidden sin affects the body of Christ. God desires a holy people, walking in truth and repentance. Victory flows from a clean heart. Joshua 7:13, “Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” Prayer Search me, God, and help me

After repentance, God encouraged Joshua again. Failure is not final when we turn back to God. His mercy and grace restores strength and purpose. “Now the Lord said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.” Joshua 8:1 Prayer Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and for restoring me when I turn to You. Hebrews 4:16, “Let us therefore

Israel made a mistake by relying on their own understanding. God desires continual dependence, not occasional consultation. God knows the end from the beginning. Hence we seek His wisdom. Joshua 9:14, “Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask counsel of the Lord.” Prayer Teach me to seek Your wisdom in every decision. James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be gi

God fought for Israel in extraordinary ways. When we obey and trust Him, God steps in with supernatural power. Ultimately, through Christ, we win! Joshua 10:8, 13-14, “And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.” So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heede

Joshua continued until the land was taken. God calls His people to finish what He starts. Faithfulness brings completion. Joshua 11:23, “So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land rested from war.” Prayer Give me endurance to finish the work You have given me. Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begu

Caleb believed God for his inheritance even in old age. God’s promises do not expire. God’s timing is different from our timing. Faith holds on until fulfillment. Joshua 14:11-12, “As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that

Joshua challenged the people to choose whom they would serve. Serving God is a daily decision rooted in love and obedience. “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the Ri
