• 1:56
  Speaker 2: people who were just like us that are symbols of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you in all of your great work. Help us to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: attain to the standard of righteousness that they did in
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. Joshua the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: type Okay, So I'm going to answer my own question
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: when I asked you type it in the chat. I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: going to answer my own question by going right into
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: our lesson number one. Lesson number one is Joshua pointed
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to Christ. So we know the type now in this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: case points forward. In this case to Christ. Joshua pointed
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to Christ as what in this case as the great Deliverer.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Joshua pointed to Christ as the great Deliverer. Now we
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: go into the Bible book of Deuteronomy, chapter eighteen, Deuteronomy
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: chapter eighteen, and I will read verse fifteen, and the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, the Lord thy God will raise up unto
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: thee a prophet from the midst of thee of thy brethren,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: like unto me. Unto him, ye shall hearken or listen?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You must listen to him. And so the Hebrew word
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: for prophet in this case nav it means one who
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: speaks under divine inspiration for God. And so Moses foretold
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that a prophet like unto himself, who would reveal God's truth.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Joshua partially fulfilled this type by leading God's people into Canaan.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But we know, we know the one who is God
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: with us, the one who is what God is, Jesus Christ,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the anointed One, fulfilled it completely by leading all of
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: humanity into salvation. Remember, there were disciples who were like, Ah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: show us the Father, and it sufficeth Us, and He's like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: but how long have I been with you? And you
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: still say show me the Father, like I'm the revelation
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of the Father, and so Joshua was a manifestation of this,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and the ministry of Jesus delivering people from sin is
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: seen very clearly in Joshua's life, as he delivered the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: people into the Promise, which was the same symbol leaving
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Egypt bondage to sin going in to Canaan. He was
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the one who fulfilled that, and so our action step
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in this regard is to listen, intentionally, intentionally for Christ's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: voice through the scripture. Obedience begins by giving keen attention
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to what God is already saying to your heart. One
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: thing Eric Thomas often says is like when people say,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: well where do I begin? Where do I begin with
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a new paradigm, a new standard, or a new standard
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: of growth? He says, go with what God said to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you most recently. What did He just tell you to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: do that you have not done? Start there. Let's go
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to lesson number two. Jesus is the final prophet. Jesus
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is the final prophet, and Moses illustrated this. The Bible
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: reads here in Acts chapter three and verse twenty two.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Acts chapter three and verse twenty two. For Moses truly
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: said to the fathers, a prophet shall the Lord your
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: God raise up unto you for your broth of your brethren,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: like unto me. Him shall ye hear in all things
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: whatsoever he shall say to you. Okay, and so again
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we have the same illustration. I'll read it from the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: New English translation. Moses said, the Lord your God will
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: raise up for you a prophet like me from among
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: your brothers. You must obey him and everything he tells you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that sound exactly like what the text said in Deuteronomy.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Of course, because the two testaments agree. The New Testament
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: is the manifestation of what God taught in the Old Testament.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Jesus is the fulfillment in the New Testament of what
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the Old had pointed forward to. And so our action
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: step is to center our worship and faith on Jesus alone.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So we don't look at the symbols, we don't look
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: at the types so closely like the people did in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the past. We do for our learning, But our real focus,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: since Jesus has already come, is Jesus. Let every teaching
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about in twenty twenty five, every teaching, every promise,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: every hope flow from your personal relationship with Him. Remember,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the people were always looking forward to Christ, and since
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Christ we looking forward to a closer relationship with him.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: What else are we looking forward to the day that
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that relationship culminates in our face to face communion with God.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Like one thing that I do like about prayer or
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: love about prayer is that it's us. God doesn't come
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: down to us where prayer is concerned, but we are
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: elevated up to Him like we are now in his presence,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places, as we speak
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to God as to a friend. But one of the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: things that I don't want to say, don't like, but
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it really just I wish we could get beyond this
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and we will one day, is like I don't want
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to imagine. I don't want to experience God in this
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: way forever, like I want to see him one day.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to shake his hand. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: want to be able to give God a fist bump,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: like I want to be able to hug Jesus and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: say thank you. You know what I mean. I want
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to greet them like how we greet people we love
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: one another. I don't know how you greet people in
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: your culture, but whatever way that we greet people in
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: our real lives. I want to be able to do that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I want to have a talk like Jesus. Can I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: talk to you for a second. I was just thinking,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you understand where I'm going, Like, so I want to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: transcend one day and we know that that is when
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Jesus returns. Transcend the prayer concept and get to the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: genuine article. So every teaching, every promise, every hope needs
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to flow from our through our relationship with God. Okay,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And so we see that both Joshua and Moses foreshadowed
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: or were a type of Jesus's mission. The Bible reads
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and Deuteronomy chapter thirty four, verses ten and eleven. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: there arose not a prophet since in Israel, like unto Moses,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: whom the Lord knew face to face. Did I not
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: just say that is our goal to get to God
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: in our experience, face to face, in all the signs
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: servants and to all his land. And so this presence
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that's coming in from the text pronounced panim presence that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: word for face to face, meaning presence. Moses and Joshua
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: both knew God's presence. His presence in ways that anticipated Christ,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the one who revealed God the Father perfectly. Through his presence,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Jesus became the complete expression of divine power and redemption.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: We're going to see him face to face one day.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
