1. Inheritance for all
Joshua 16-19

3. Joshua 1:3-6
“I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you…” “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.”

Possessing the inheritance fully is what God is looking for

FEAR
‘You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one portion of land allotted to you but the forested hill country as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron and though they are strong, you can drive them out.’

7. Fearless living
Be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24 Obedience unlocks God’s power. A little compromise can overthrow you in the long run.

“But on Mount Zion [in Jerusalem] there shall be [deliverance for] those who escape, And it shall be holy [no pagan will defile it]; And the house of Jacob shall possess their [former] possessions.”

10. Psalm 138:8, 139:17

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.     They cannot be numbered!

11. Shiloh

12. Joshua 18:3
So Joshua said to the Israelites: ‘How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you?

13. Joshua’s Plan
Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me.  You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.  After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord our God.

14. Make a Joshua plan Look at the big picture Look at the details
Share with those with experience and spiritual maturity
Do it all in the presence of the Lord
Take a couple of friends

16. Boundaries
Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;     you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;     surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;     even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord.     With him at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Psalm 16:5-8
