DEVOTION 188: “God in Joshua” coming out of Josh. 1
God now moves His headquarters out of Moses into Joshua. Just as God moved His headquarters out of Abraham to Isaac, and to Jacob, and to Joseph, and so on.
God moved His headquarters’s from the First Adam to Jesus Christ (the Second Adam).
God has moved His headquarters from prophet to prophet until He moved His headquarters into the ultimate Prophet (Jesus Christ).
With Christ in us, we have become the headquarters of God.
On the Day of Pentecost God moved His headquarters into the Church. He moved into men and women who now make up the Church. These are men and women in different denominations who are truly born again and have received God in the form of the Holy Spirit.
God moves His headquarters by His Word. The Word now goes from Moses to Joshua.
Let’s read:
Joshua 1:1 “Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying.”
The Lord moves His headquarters into Joshua by His Word. “The Lord spoke” His Word to Joshua. When Joshua received and believed the whole Word of God, he became a habitation of God. It’s from this headquarters that the Lord will be speaking to the whole nation of Israel, and frankly the whole world at that time.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:2-5 “Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. [3] Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. [4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. [5] There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
As He was with Moses by His Word so shall He be with Joshua by His Word.
And no man can stand before Joshua because he’s now the headquarters of God by His Word.
Today, when a man or woman is born again and receives God in the form of the Holy Spirit, he or she becomes a headquarters of the Word of God, and no demon, principality or power can stand them.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:6 “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.”
The same Promise to Abraham is promised to Joshua. The strength is not in Joshua but in the Lord.
The same headquarters in Abraham is now moving into Joshua. The same Word to Abraham is the Word to Joshua.
He is Jesus Christ the Word, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:7-8 “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. [8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
According to His Word that He gave to Abraham and then to Moses. According to the headquarters of His Word. Joshua should never turn left or right from the headquarters. He must stay right with it. Then success is guaranteed.
If we will allow the Word to dwell in us (Christ in us), and not turn to the left or right from the Word, success is guaranteed.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:9 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
The Lord is with Joshua wherever he goes. Joshua has become the headquarters of the Lord. How?
By His Word.
In that Day, you shall know He is in you.
John 14:20 “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. “
You become his headquarters when you receive His whole Word in you. Believe the whole Word — become one with Him, then you are His headquarters.
We conclude our reading:
Joshua 1:10-18 “Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, [11] Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. [12] And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, [13] Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. [14] Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; [15] Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. [16] And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. [17] According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. [18] Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.”
Death penalty was the payment for violation of the commands of Joshua not because of Joshua as a man but because God was in Joshua.
The commands of Joshua were the Word of God. Joshua has become god to the people because he has become one with God by His Word. He has become His habitation. He has become His headquarters.
Let the Word of God find a habitation in you. BELIEVE, and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The habitation (headquarters) of God, in Christ!
God now moves His headquarters out of Moses into Joshua. Just as God moved His headquarters out of Abraham to Isaac, and to Jacob, and to Joseph, and so on.
God moved His headquarters’s from the First Adam to Jesus Christ (the Second Adam).
God has moved His headquarters from prophet to prophet until He moved His headquarters into the ultimate Prophet (Jesus Christ).
With Christ in us, we have become the headquarters of God.
On the Day of Pentecost God moved His headquarters into the Church. He moved into men and women who now make up the Church. These are men and women in different denominations who are truly born again and have received God in the form of the Holy Spirit.
God moves His headquarters by His Word. The Word now goes from Moses to Joshua.
Let’s read:
Joshua 1:1 “Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying.”
The Lord moves His headquarters into Joshua by His Word. “The Lord spoke” His Word to Joshua. When Joshua received and believed the whole Word of God, he became a habitation of God. It’s from this headquarters that the Lord will be speaking to the whole nation of Israel, and frankly the whole world at that time.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:2-5 “Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. [3] Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. [4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. [5] There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
As He was with Moses by His Word so shall He be with Joshua by His Word.
And no man can stand before Joshua because he’s now the headquarters of God by His Word.
Today, when a man or woman is born again and receives God in the form of the Holy Spirit, he or she becomes a headquarters of the Word of God, and no demon, principality or power can stand them.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:6 “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.”
The same Promise to Abraham is promised to Joshua. The strength is not in Joshua but in the Lord.
The same headquarters in Abraham is now moving into Joshua. The same Word to Abraham is the Word to Joshua.
He is Jesus Christ the Word, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:7-8 “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. [8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
According to His Word that He gave to Abraham and then to Moses. According to the headquarters of His Word. Joshua should never turn left or right from the headquarters. He must stay right with it. Then success is guaranteed.
If we will allow the Word to dwell in us (Christ in us), and not turn to the left or right from the Word, success is guaranteed.
We continue our reading:
Joshua 1:9 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
The Lord is with Joshua wherever he goes. Joshua has become the headquarters of the Lord. How?
By His Word.
In that Day, you shall know He is in you.
John 14:20 “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. “
You become his headquarters when you receive His whole Word in you. Believe the whole Word — become one with Him, then you are His headquarters.
We conclude our reading:

[18] Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.”
Death penalty was the payment for violation of the commands of Joshua not because of Joshua as a man but because God was in Joshua.
The commands of Joshua were the Word of God. Joshua has become god to the people because he has become one with God by His Word. He has become His habitation. He has become His headquarters.
Let the Word of God find a habitation in you. BELIEVE, and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The habitation (headquarters) of God, in Christ!
