For the believer, the power of Christ inside of us is more than sufficient to overcome every obstacle that hinders us. Unfortunately, we often spend too much time focusing on the obstacles than the overcomer! We must be fully convinced that through Jesus - we are more than conquerors!

At the end of Joshua's life, he calls the children of Israel together and gives them a direct challenge: choose who or what you will worship! He knew what we all must know - everyone worships! The question is, "What are you and I worshipping?"

In Joshua 6:17-18, the Lord makes it clear that Israel was to stay away from "the accursed thing." This was the thing devoted to God either for judgment or for His service. This command was ignored and Israel was defeated by an inferior army. We also become weakened when we take of the accursed thing.

The Lord has given a word for Bridge of Hope Worship Center! Similar to Joshua's army as they found themselves between the Jordan River and the fortified city of Jericho, we will have to rely on the supernatural strength of God to move forward. As we do, great things await!
